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.

Some of you may recall the A-frame roost I built from pallets? Last night it came in very handy. Someone in the flock is attacking the chicks, and wounded the littlest. I decided to make a refuge for Martha and her chicks. I used some plastic chicken fencing I had on hand and zip-tied it...

I love my Gorilla cart!

I remember a machine like that, in upstate SC, around 1990. I think they called it a golden goat. You'd dump your aluminum cans in the hopper, it would weigh them, and them shoot them into a large metal cage. I can't recall if they were crushed, could be.

When I had a dog that could handle a mile walk I brought along a couple grocery bags. One was for trash, one for cans.

Most birds don't need a perch on the house. Make sure to add a collar of metal or wood around the house opening, as bigger birds and other predators will enlarge it and kill the babies. A ¾ inch to 1 inch thick piece of wood extended from and surrounding the entry hole will hinder and protect...

I want one!

Last time I checked they were $35 each, here. :eek:

The cattle panel trellis is inserted less than six inches, and on the edge. I used branches in the bottom for the raised bed you see here. A couple of the stakes I had to wiggle a little to insert them fully, probably they were pushing between the branches.

Love your tomatoes, and marigolds! I got the upright squash idea here, I think. I managed to get a squash harvest without poisons, which was wonderful. I'd previously tried injecting BT with limited success.
