Chestnut Homestead Blog: Winterizing My Above Ground Water Tanks
http://chestnutpermiefarm.blogspot.com/2015/10/winterizing-my-above-ground-water-tanks.html
Sunday, October 11, 2015. Winterizing My Above Ground Water Tanks. Last year we drained the tanks and just let the winter rainfall drain off our roofs through the first flush pipes. We didn't catch any rain during the winter time. I am looking for solutions and it involves plumbing valves. This leads me to conclude the most cost effective method will be to dig out a box around the tank drainage and irrigation pipes. I will just install a T joint and two separate valves. As long as the pipes flow down hil...

Tuesday, March 3, 2015. The Big Method: How We Make Our Yogurt. Everyone has their own methods, I guess. I tried the one where you pour your yogurt culture and milk into one of those automated yogurt-maker machines. I didn't like it because it was tedious and the yogurt containers that came with the set were too small. Therefore, I opted for The Big Method. Find a culture you like. We really have great success with Cultures for Health. Put your pot in a warm spot in your home. Our home stays between ...

Chestnut Homestead Blog: Incubating 6 Copper Marans Eggs Under Broody Chicken
http://chestnutpermiefarm.blogspot.com/2015/02/incubating-6-copper-marans-eggs-under.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Incubating 6 Copper Marans Eggs Under Broody Chicken. On February 26, 2015, we put six black copper marans eggs under a broody chicken. The chicken incubation period is 21 days, assuming everything is controlled well as far as temperature. If there are cold periods, the date could be extended by as many as three additional days. The weather here has been pretty cold at night. On the very cold nights, we use a lamp in the coop to keep it warmer. How I Make My Feta Cheese.
