I wrote an article for BYC because someone asked for one on processing quail. It’s been well received, which makes me happy.

150 pounds of nice light honey last weekend. I’ll be opening my farmer’s market stall this weekend if I can get my paperwork in order.

I was reading about that on a homesteading site I’m a member of. I’m not sure how that works.
My garden has done very poorly this year. This year has been the year of vermin. The crows ate most of my sprouts, my house has been invaded by ants and moths, and mice have started stealing my quail eggs.
On the other hand, I am in the middle of hatching my largest batch of quail ever:
Yes, that is two totes full of chicks and there are still a lot of eggs in the incubator.

I started a new project and wrote an article on it.
My first article on how to process a quail is up to over 7000 views.

My first garden bed has been built at my new place. 5 yards of soil arrives on Wednesday, so I should be good for several beds over the months to come.

I’m going to be sore tomorrow. I ended up building two garden beds. I don’t think 5 yards of soil is going to be enough.

Are you doing anything to keep the cinder blocks in place besides the dirt I see in a few?
We did some brick-lined beds (I think 2 layers deep, not super level, and some wooden tops and stakes) and they were way out of alignment when we moved out… Of course that was after several years, so I can’t complain, and subjected to four seasons of rain, snow, etc.
No. The research I did implied that you only need to add rebar or reinforcement if it’s more than 2 cinder blocks high. The bottom of the first layer is supported on one side by gravel and on the inside by soil. I am putting some small branches inside both for support and for additional plant nutrition as they break down.
If you quickly bury a few bodies in there, you’ll see the level rise quite dramatically. Plus, fertilizer.
