GardenEquipment

Last week I mentioned finding our homestead in 2013. So of course we had to acquire a bunch of garden equipment to maintain it; pictures from June 2013. I do kinda miss my toys, but don’t miss the maintenance. #ThrowbackThursday

The answer to today’s question: a backpack sprayer. I spent a couple of hours this morning using it to spray weeds in our paths and gardens. I hand-pull weeds in areas around the ducks etc, but there are too many to do that everywhere. #WhatsItWednesday

On the homestead blog: yesterday I mowed the lawns and field. Just for fun, I flew my drone while doing so, and got some photos and video.

This morning I whipped up a dirt sifter out of a 2x4, a bit of hardware cloth, and other scraps of lumber, to enable things like more easily harvesting potatoes. 🔨

Using a pond rake, that has a float attached, to scoop out a bunch of leaves from our pond. Leaves are a natural part of the ecosystem, but they reduce the oxygen in the pond as they break down, which isn’t great for the fish.

I run our portable generator for a little while every three months, to keep it in working order. We’ve never used it during a power cut, but it’s nice to have, just in case.

It’s always nice to get the zero-turn riding mower back from servicing; the brief window of time when it’s actually clean. Now we just need to wait for the rain to stop for a couple of days so we can do the first mow of the year. #dejus365

Dusty garden equipment awaiting collection for servicing: our zero-turn riding mower, push edger, and chainsaw. I get the mower serviced each year, and occasionally add other equipment, as needed. #dejus365
