Thank you for posting this! It looks like a great set up! How many cows does it fit? What are the dimensions? do you move the horses in the same rotation as the cows?
Souds like we have the same style of raiseng animals and mabey the same mentors ,Greg Judy would be proudThamks fot the videos i am looking forward to more I want to.get a couple cows but have to turn my sand into soill first, we have five acres in north fl but it is what they call scrub and is mostly sand with very little topsoii we are currently using some goats and chickens to regenerate it
Studies have found some microplastic contamination in sea salt from the US, Europe and China. Sea salt has also been shown to be contaminated by fungi that can cause food spoilage as well as some that may be mycotoxigenic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt#Health
Why is "kosher" salt promoted so much in the past few years? All salt is technically kosher. The course-grain type is for koshering meat (absorbing surface blood to make the meat kosher). It is IDENTICAL to plain table salt that has no anti-caking agent or iodine, other than the grain size. Once it is dissolved in water, even that difference is gone. Don't pay more for kosher salt; it's a trendy gimmick.
"Making Fermented Dilly Beans" is not what you do. When you pickle green beans (string beans, haricots vert) in salt water and add dill, their new name is dilly beans. You don't ferment the dilly beans, because they are already fermented.
The term dilly beans simply means beans flavored with dill. If you pickle them they are pickled dilly beans, if you ferment them they are fermented dilly beans. If all you add is salt water and dill you are not pickling you are fermenting, pickling requires vinegar. So, yes, she is fermenting dilly beans!
I really like your design, especially the fact that you turn it by hand. Lowers the cost a lot! Thanks for sharing the drawing, very helpful. What other root vegetables have you used the washer for, and how are the results?
Beets, carrots, hakurei without tops, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes were problematic due to the skins being damaged, all others did very well. if the carrots are small, they get caught in between the slots; adding a plastic mesh may be worth while (see RU-vid video "Root Barrel Washer - Saving time washing root vegetables"). Also, I added four large paddles to make it easier to turn, otherwise your fingers may get caught in-between the slats when spinning it.
Thanks for your reply. What is the spacing between the boards, 1/2 inc or 3/4 inc? Do you think you can make the spacing 1/4 inc so you don't have the problem with the carrots?
I think I targeted 1/4", but there was variation due to warped boards and my lack of precision (I ripped 1x12s to make the slats). We don't lose many carrots, and those we do are small anyway - a few more for ourselves and the cows.
