Attaching Copper Mesh To Deer Netting Fence

As I was recording the below video I uploaded the first two segments to YouTube as shorts. I received a couple of comments which questioned why I was putting copper mesh on my fence. I have addressed the reason in the past but will do so again for clarification. This is a trick I learned when I was living as a nomad in my travel trailer. When you live full time in a vehicle you can be certain…

On the previous Monday…

Pansies, Greens, Carrots And More

This blog post is my gardening update from two weeks ago. Yup, I’m still trying to catch up. Now that I had a 200′ garden hose, I needed a solution as to how to store it. It was just lying all over the yard and what would I do with it on lawn cutting day? (In my opinion, the lawn is the most wasteful and stupid invention ever.) I found a very pretty hose holder on Amazon. I chose this one…
