Seriously, do you have any outdoor cats? I have two that adopted me as giver of good food. I saw one of them catch and kill a squirrel. They keep the rodent population down.

Squirrel stew...

Early on one of my raised beds bowed a little, I think the board was slightly warped. I took a short T-post and pounded it in on the outside of the bed, tight against the boards. It's holding nicely.

Oh. Zip-tie them together...hmm. 🤔🤔🤔

It likes vertical:

Lots of ideas here... I also have leftover cattle panel pieces, fairly long but only about a foot wide... :caf

Thanks, I may do that. I need something quick, the vines just topped the rail. Inspiration...how about a tension rod, like what is used for shower curtains? 🤔

There's vinyl all across the top, and on the house side. The only wood is the porch support on the left and the porch railing.

Thank you!

Thank you. I'd not thought about doing a compression fit. 🤔🤔🤔 I built a simple door frame for my coop, I can give a trellis frame a try.

DIYers, I need input. I have created a flower garden where my Rose of Sharon trees used to be, and planted a clematis. I gave it a cattle panel trellis (partial) and it's climbing like gangbusters! Now I need to extend/create the top of the trellis, but I do not want to put holes in the vinyl...

That's a good observation, thanks!

Suggestion: use a hasp instead of a bolt, the type you can turn the part a lock would go through. Slide a carabineer through. Raccoons can open bolts, so why not make it raccoon proof before they show up and decimate your flock? I had a raccoon wipe out my flock except for one that was brooding...

I have a metal feeder base that screws on fine, but the metal waterer base doesn't want to screw on to the mason jar. I probably got a defective one. I also have a quail waterer base made of plastic, attaches easily.

I was thinking of melting some wax on the metal waterer's threads, so the mason jar screws on more easily.

The original model works great! FYI: the broody here is Martha, and she's the chick in the center of my MHP photo, next to the fire brick. She has a tiny dot on her head.

I tried the MHP last year, worked very well for my two broods. We each should use what works for us.

Do you ever use something like wax on the threads? Mine sticks, always has, though I bought it last year.

Change it repeatedly. Currently my chicks have two waterers in case they knock one over.

I use my cordless reciprocating saw to cut stump roots as well. It's so handy...I cut down half a mulberry tree last weekend as it was leaning on my shed roof.
