    Cleaned up compost pile.

    I finally cleaned up the compost pile. A local business had a pile of used pallets that they needed to get rid of. I was able to fit about 8 of them in my trailer and haul them home. I decided that four of them would help the compost pile stay in one place and keep my dogs out of it. I used a few 3 inch wood screws and fastened them together. Pretty simple.

    Nice idea...

    Man, If I could teach my mules to all go to the bathroom in one place, maybe I could build something like that, instead of having to scoop it all up and move it with the tractor??

    Would you teach them to leave the seat up or down?

    My two john mules would leave the seat up just to mess with the mollies, They are only playing, but they can damn well do some mean things at times!!

    Nice open field - looks like you have a ton of space to "play" with.

    JCO,
    Yes that is me, my brother, Festus, was to the right, just out of the picture !!!
    eddie,
    That picture was not at my place it was down in Clinton Arkansas, at the National Championship Chuckwagon Races. They hold them down there every year. This year they start on August 23rd. and go through Labor Day. They are always the week before Labor day.
    Just as a side note I sold that mule, I just never have been able to get along with a Molly, my wife and kids love their Molly mules, but not me, I will stick with john mules from now on.

    Yeah, I have a little space to play with. 13 acres total: 3 acres tillable, 1 acre house + yard + other buildings, 9 acres fenced for grazing.
