Ep. 20 The Efficient Homestead Podcast

This week I go on a bit of a ramble talking about how affiliate links work from our perspective. At about the 8 minute mark I get back into our normal updates and weekend plans. I really appreciate all of you tuning in each week to hear about what’s going on with us and I’d love to hear what your plans are for this Labor Day weekend. You can email me at TheEfficientHomestead@gmail.com or you can go to anchor.fm/ronnie887 and leave a voice message if you’d prefer. Please visit the website at TheEfficientHomestead.com and check out some of what we’re sharing there. If you’re going to shop Amazon or Tractor Supply anyway it would help us out if you’d use our affiliate links to get there. And if you’re looking for authentic homestead supplies follow our link to Lehman’s Hardware. #homesteadlife #followyourdream

This week’s Homestead update includes the garden, chickens and ducks as well as our ever expanding wild flower plot. We also talk about the state of our county road and a little teaser about a trip I’ll share details on next time. We even have a wildlife encounter on the drive as I’m recording and I pose a question to ponder.

Ep. 5 of The Efficient Homestead Podcast

On this episode of the podcast we talk about temporary vs. permanent fencing, garden updates, cucumber trellis DIY, baby ducks graduation to full time outside and some of the flowers on the homestead including a very large dandelion type that I had to research. I think it might be Yellow Salsify ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragopogon_dubius ). If anyone can verify that or provide a better identification please send me an email at theefficienthomestead@gmail.com. When they bloom again I'll post pictures on the blog at https://theefficienthomestead.com.
