I needed to do something about the garbage looking blueberry patch. I dump my wet garbage in my garden but it doesn’t look good, so I had a plan.
Making worm pots
I decided to make some worm pots to make things look prettier. I have plenty of worms in the garden so I don’t need any worm pots, but I think they will make the garden look much better as they are a place to put the wet garbage.
I drilled some more holes in these two pots.
I then buried the two pots and collected all the lose garbage and deposited it in the pots.
Looks much better
Here’s the other one and the garden is already looking better.
I’ll just dump my wet garbage in the pots from now on.
Cutting back blackberry vines
I spent the rest of the day puttering around in the yard. One of the things I do constantly is cut the wild blackberry vines back or they will take over the place.
The rains ended this morning pretty much. I had about 6 inches of rain in the bucket from this storm.
Big redwood trees
I was watching these big ol redwood trees swaying in the winds. It always amazes me that these big trees can with stand the winds and the rains without falling over. One of natures engineering marvels.
Planning for the future
I also spent some time sitting in the yard doing some planning. I plan to make anther garden enclosure so I needed to figure out where I want to put it.
Maybe a chicken house
In the process I was thinking a little chicken house with an enclosure would be nice too as that way I could get some corn safe chickens to eat.
I’m still thinking on that one, but it looks like it might work on into my plans.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
