Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Says the girl pashing a Llama in her avatar.

I was the pashee, not the pasher. That llama would NOT leave me alone! I very nearly had to bring her home, she was so obviously in love with me.

And while we're off the topic (again), what kind of doctor are you?

I wish Tapatalk would show people's signatures. I had to come back via Web browser so I could find the link to your aquarium system. Bookmarked! (If I look now, I'll be late to work. *sigh*)

One last thought, before I go off to work...

How does one weigh a goat?

We need to worm the goats. All the dosing instructions are by weight. They are not large goats, but they are very solid. I can't see lifting them while standing on a bathroom scale, even if the scale went high enough to manage it.

From Jeffers.com or Hoegers.com, you can get a measuring tape for measuring the diameter of their chest area (the thickest part of the goat). They make two kinds, one for meat goats, one for dairy goats. The tapes measure the goat in weight, not in inches.
The tapes probably have some sort of measurement for the pigmy/dwarf types on them as well.

Check your PM messages.

Edit: If the tape thing won't work for you, your local Veterinarian should have one of those digital platform scales on which that they weigh big dogs. Ours doesn't mind a goat coming into the waiting room. Lord knows, the wife has taken them in enough times. The vets actually call her when they have a goat problem they can't figure out!

I've been lurking... just joined, but reading through the threads is both time consuming and full of incredible helps and insights.
So... thanks to Geek2 for Evernote... I'd never seen it, and I'm a research fiend. My bookmarks are extensive and unwieldy- so I look forward to getting a wee bit more organized.

That came 'round page 7... so, I'll be up with y'all soon.

Ok... Page 7, again... I'm so deeply jealous of a $30 IBC. Plus.. a greenhouse? Wow. I love the link to Steve's... I know folks down here... so I might be able to reproduce his design down here. [our family are glaziers-- my brother still owns a business, and lots of construction connections!! No money, but lots of connections.]

Man, this is fun!!

Connections are worth so much more than money.

I'm still way behind... but! It is always better to have and NOT need... then to need and NOT have...

I'm all a flutter to figure out how well you manage without a ready water source...

What do you mean?

Truer words have never been said. Thats why i wish i was a better talker!

"What do you mean?"

Ok... Ron...
The post was around the use of the rocket heater... and only needing it maybe, two days out of the year.

We just had a hard freeze... first one in twenty years-ish. Sure wish i'd have done more to protect my lemon trees.

Won't know the extent of the damage for a couple of months.

It is so much easier to have mitigation in place... and then use it, then to try to jury-rig something that may or may not work... That's what it meant.

I have a need for an unlimited bank account, but i dont have one.

I certainly wish that was the other way around

I met God today.

He has a nasty case of acne.

I wonder if that's why he wouldn't let Moses see his face? I should've thought to ask him.

If only I'd known...I could've asked God to give you one.

Although between saving the world and meeting with his probation officer, he might be too busy to take individual requests right now...
