You make a great team and are fun to listen to. I live in upstate New York, where we are currently enjoying winds gusting to 50 miles per hour, which is creating whiteout conditions on the roads, and temperatures such as 1 and minus 1. I have six laying hens, and am keeping them in an Eglu coop, which is inside a stall in my barn. So far, no problems with frostbite (they're pretty well sheltered), but I do need to keep their water from freezing. After some experimentation (i.e., spending money at Tractor Supply and Agway on stuff that didn't work and is now cluttering up my porch), I have found that a heated dog water bowl works well, although I had to place a couple of rocks in it to keep the girls from sitting on the edge and tipping it over. Chickens appear to lack the capacity to foresee the consequences of their actions. Please thank Laura for all the great gardening information! It will be spring here again. Someday. I hope.

Laura did a fantastic job and was very informative. You two make a good team. Regarding the food and farming thing, I know I come sometimes come off sounding like a militant, it's just that I'm very passionate about that kind of stuff. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I was wondering if you've watched the documentary Food Inc. It's about where our food comes from. A friend of a friend of mine was the guy who made it. It's a good watch so if you haven't seen it it's worth renting. By the way I've been listening to the Geek.Farm.Life podcast lately per your recommendation. It's awesome. Thanks! Thanks for posting my video about the stanchion, I'm currently working on another video on how to make a drum composter out of a 55 gallon barrel and some wood. I'll send it your way when it's done. Thanks again. Josh Hi Brian-

Even us "Northerners" are sleeping with seed catalogs. Laura is a great addition, lots of knowledge plus the back and forth between you guys is great. Laura, now that we know how great you are, don't desert us. Sandy-a Michigander Brain and Laura – Great podcast. Even us “Northerners” are sleeping with seed catalogs.
