I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

[@straubdavid9]

Good mornin New Ham Shire ..... Nora is quite the character already. It was hilarious to see her jumping up on Willow's feed bin and preventing Willow from lifting up the flap ~8^) Thanks for the laugh. I agree AL ... it's tough to tear down something you put so much effort into. Can you put that plastic over the compost, or will that deprive them of air (and water)? Nice to see Rusty and the gals in their new digs ... bet they will be very happy to get on pasture! How much longer until we may see some Copper Maran chicklets from the incubator? You're gonna be knee deep in chickens pretty soon. Hope this latest cold snap moves out of the northeast ... it's slowing down my seed germination, although my tomatoes are starting to push ... woohoo! Have a nice Thursday AL, Gina & Olivia .... your goats are like herding cats! Take care.

[@ldg2655]

Your meatloaf looks good! My friend’s (and now mine) recipe uses equal parts ground beef, ground pork, and bulk sausage. She mixes them, adds bread crumbs, an egg or two, a small can of tomato sauce, and a whole (small) box of baby Bella mushrooms, ground in the food processor......mix all that up with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and form your loaf. Paint the top with ketchup, cover the whole thing with strips of bacon and put several sprigs if fresh thyme on top before baking. She baked hers in a cake pan, but I put mine to bake on a grid-shaped cookie rack on or in a pan, so the grease drips away and your meatloaf doesn’t sit in it.. this makes a big meatloaf, so plenty of leftovers... My friend passed away from ALS nearly 2 years ago, and I think of her often; certainly when I’m making her meatloaf...

I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen the pink ratchet straps when I caught a glimpse and then the compliment for sending them back in the OGOK ..... But recall they were for Gina and Olivia!

[@tonimitchell9930]

Maybe split the rubber on the grain feeder. That way if the baby is standing on one side, Willow can still open the other side. If you want compost faster, You have to turn the pile in order for it to heat up, and keep it more active, they need to be oxiginated. They also need some moisture, its fine if you don't but it will take a lot longer for it to compost down. You could split that back yard area and then Willow and the baby could go out anytime. I would also be handy if you had to keep goats separated. That baby is just so adorable, I just love watching her buck and frolic.

[@70acres]

Nora Maple works! I had such a laugh and smile on my face watching her bounce all over! I replayed that several times. I loves me a good meatloaf. I normally make mine into a bread loaf shape so if fits on sandwich bread nicely. I would take all that great compost from under Rusty's coop either to the new greenhouse or to the raised beds. You've got compost seeds galore with those hay bales. Blessings to all.

Hi one and all at LA, as always another great vid!. Al, I have made square pallet compost containers, I put a lid on top (the compost sits on pallets, all - round aeration) then strap the bottom and lift/tip over, bottom now top! I do this a couple of times, when ready , open side take out what you need, this is repeated year-on-year,! very little work, hope this helps?. Great to see you all well and enjoying all!!. God bless.

[@ANGEL77762]

Loved your video today, Always so much activity going on. I agree on the name of your baby goats name! God bless y'all!!

[@ginawhisnant9966]

The temp difference in the compost piles is probably due to the older pile having rotted more of the wood and hay, releasing a lot of the energy. The newest pile having fresher wood chips and straw generates more heat since those are actively rotting. I had a local tree trimmer bring me a huge pile of mulch from some red maples he trimmed last spring. On cool mornings you could see the steam rise from it, but as it aged and rotted the steam was less noticeable. It has aged a year now and is great mulch. I have it filling the bottom of my raised beds for aeration and to generate some warmth for the roots of the plants.

Get those compost piles active. Turn and water. Also to a sprayer put together 2 cans of beer, 1 can of coke (not diet), 2 cups ammonia, 2 cup of used tea bag water, 1/4 cup baby shampoo. spray each layer then water as you turn those piles. They will get active and start breaking down.

The first compost pile needs a flat top, or inverted top, to catch the rainwater. The cone shaped top sheds water like a roof, hence, no heating.
