Bins like that are great, keeps the hay out of
the mud. I've had some wooden apple bins in the past; now Lud makes
replicas. (It helps being in the lumber business.) And we nail metal
angle iron or sheetrock edging along the top to discourage wood chewing.
Lucky you to get a tripod sprinkler. In the fix-it dept., one of our
sons-in-law gave us a gift certificate for "two agricultural burns; you choose
what you want burned and I'll be there." This from a man who loves to
clear brush and start fires. Boy, will this come in handy! We have
so many places that trees have died and gone down; makes the pasture look
messy.
Top of my list was plastic pear bins for pasture feeders, they are heavy,
safe and last forever, unfortuntaely very pricey and we are trying to scroungs
from packing sheds. I think I am getting at least one.....
I also asked for a manure fork.
Mike did find a great new item...it's a big tripod sprinkler...can use it
on my veg. garden or little horse irrigated pasture.
