    Stressless Farm Blog - Wildlife Habitat Improvements

    Plots are doing well but getting beat with utilization... making great food but bearly keeping in front of the browsing pressure. The new plots/expanded areas with first year perennials turning out great with the pH dialed in and rye cut for thatch. Inside the utilization cage it's 12"-14"...

    "Absent companions"

    2nd dads, a man that you need in your boisterous age when a elder man imprints wise counsel in way that resonates and leaves you better. That was Lanny Hawkins, my lifelong friend Chris's father. Just back to camp tonight from escorting my other buddy Lou's 82 yo mom and my 92 yo mom thru his...

    Purchasing hunting/retirement land - tips and caveats?

    @Tipmoose - great idea and thread, the above focus on neighbors at your 'to be' farm is spot on. I met my neighbor Cliff and we've become good friends, share trail cam pics, chores etc -and- security. This TOO thread in on that topic, better to have security outcome in mind as you're...

    @mrbighorns - about a mile and a half off the beach. Have spots out to 3 miles I hit in the yak but those have to be bluebird days.... I hate t-storms out in the Tupperware. Meanwhile the cleaning station is A-OK! 🤣

    Caught my personal best Saltwater Fish today, used two web sites to get an estimate, a 6' Goliath is ~270# and a 6.5' is ~371# so somewhere in there and I'm estimating length a bit low I think... Anyway - Fabulous day off Navarre this AM! Using a butterflied sand perch a snapper ate and I had...

    Stressless "Why do both Picture and Video captures ?" -> 153" Droptine harvest ... and more!

    A week or so passed from the plots being mowed. They are all in this blend and look this lush or better. No plan to cut or spray until I overseed rye into it in early Sep. Just a couple touches a year this point.

    For Bird brains. BIRDNet

    Sitting on the deck with coffee, hearing aids turned up, very quiet morning so I tapped into the songs I'm listening to to ID some birds. Without the hearing aids I can't hear any but the loudest and closest. It is amazing what you don't even know you're missing. The waterfall spectrum...
