The infamous Borris
A real treat for you guys today. I get my beautiful wife and garden diva, Laura, in on the podcast action. We go through some updates, catch you up on the latest weimaraner suicide attempt, talk about a pending new addition to the farm, take some great feedback, and finally break the hour mark talking about seeds and gardening.

Our Three Goats
A short one this time. Still trying to get this car recording stuff ironed out – so the audio is kinda crappy. A short one. I prattle on about how I almost crushed myself with the tractor this week. Twice. Then we pontificate on the fad popularity of hobby farming.

Laura Playing on the Tractor
Join me again on my morning commute where I discuss some feedback, give you the wrong number for the call in line, pontificate on homesteading vs hobby farming, touch on gardening, and talk about sharpening a chainsaw.
Sorry about the road noise. This is the first recording using the portable recorder so I’m still tweaking the audio.

A snake that was squatting in our hen house
I go mobile for this podcast and drag you along for my morning commute. We play catch up on some farm updates to do with bees and snakes, stumble through a few verbal blunders, rant about my experience trying to become a certified egg candler, decry the outrage otherwise known as HR 875, and even manage to spit on Monsanto somewhere in the mix.

Our Rainwater Catchment System
The semi-long awaited 10th episode!
On this BubbaCast I answer some feedback, apologize for completely messing up the feed while doing some housekeeping, go over some other webby stuff and talk about designing a rainwater catchment system. Yes, I did edit in a disclaimer around the 39 minute mark. I don’t normally edit much, but I thought it was important. Thanks for listening!

Chicken Tree House
Important Note: Seems that I made a goof up and uploaded the wrong file yesterday (thanks to Net for pointing out the error of my ways.) The feed has since been corrected, but iTunes subscribers may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe.
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
I prattle on seemingly without end about the latest energy pyramid scheme, bee-talk, fencing, your emails, and finally about buiding a solar generator.
Links:
- A much better tutorial on building the solar generator
- An excellent tutorial on using a micro grid-tie inverter (even though the unit has it’s own internal kill switch – you still need to install one)
- Kencove and Electrobraid Fencing Products
- Info and more info about worms and chickens
