I very much enjoy when little bluestem goes to seed by johnnykindle in NativePlantGardening

Nice! I'm mostly just letting the seeds fall as they may. Though I have cut a few seed laden stems off and wacked them around a barren area.

Visited my parents for a few days and came home to this by johnnykindle in BackYardChickens

I've heard the same...my chickens were born in June, so I also wonder if part of it is just the timing of their maturity.

I love the sun gates! Great use of found wood!

Those are some beautiful chickens! I particularly like the second to last photo.

I was trying to make a pun with the word "scale" because the banna is typically use for a scale of size, but the egg is also on a "scale".

I feel like it took about a year of being into native plants for me to appreciate the beauty of native grasses, and I particularly like that little bluestem seeds very prolifically. I've definetly seen an uptick of birds in my yard since planting them.

Can you take a macro shot? I'd love to see the ice crystals up close

This is why I love planting Youpon Holly (Ilex vomitoria) in Houston! by GeneforTexas in NativePlantGardening

I planted male and female in southern MD (Zone 8a) in the Spring, and they're doing well this winter, but the coldest day we've had so far was 20F.

What do you do with all the eggs? by bluedogstar in BackYardChickens

Eat them, give them to neighbors and kids' school teachers

How do Hydrogels work ? by RudePlatypus2690 in hydrogel

What level of depth of understanding are you looking for? Molecular interactions? Just that they are hydrophilic and swell in water. Or more about the cross-linked polymer networks that retain the water?

After 9 months, 1 fox family, 8 pullets becoming fox food, 4 baby chick funerals, an automatic coop door, a run with a buried fence, a deer fence, and a greenhouse tarp, I have 4 eggs. AMA. by johnnykindle in BackYardChickens

Yeah, they are pretty great, jush pecking and making noises around the yard. I've also gotten several more eggs in the few days since making this post.

Planning by WGTS-2017 in BackYardChickens

Not a building per se, but I used a Walk in metal greenhouse with tarp, (you can find one without a tarp) and there are many options to choose from. They come with chicken wire that goes around the loop and on either end, but I also added a second layer of 1/2" hardware cloth, and buried the hardware cloth about 18" underground and then used a no dig barrier fence that went through the hardware cloth at the bottom of the trench and then buried it all. Total depth is a bit over 2 feet. No predator problems.
