Electric Net Fencing

Electric net fencing is a fundamental tool for the management of my poultry flocks. I have found high-quality equipment, excellent service, and expert advice at Premier Fencing Supply.

Friends whose judgment I value also recommend Kencove.

Tools

I strongly favor hand tools for working the garden and pasture. Particular favorites are the broadfork and the scythe, both are a joy when well used. I like Lehman’s, an Amish company in Kidron, Ohio, for highest quality, well-designed tools, the sort you buy once and use a lifetime, as well as other items for the homesteading life. If you need a source for a broadfork, a traditional scythe, garden carts, and well-crafted digging and cultivating tools, by all means, check Lehman’s out. (877-438-5346)

See the Guest Article by Larry Cooper, “A Handcrafted Broadfork”, for more on this excellent tool. You can order one of Larry’s handmade broadforks at Gulland Forge.

I have used several scythes over the decades. My current one, with several interchangeable blades, is from One Scythe Revolution. It has my highest recommendation.
