With the extra seed corn, this year, I made seed balls.  Native Americans used the seed ball concept.  The seed ball protected their seed from weather and predators.  All you do is mix a little compost,  clay mud and add your seed.  Pinch some of the mixture with a seed and roll it up with your hands making a ball.  Let it dry a little and then broadcast your seed. Don't make the ball too small. The larger the seed make a bigger ball.
Thank you Indians for making the USA a greener place due to your clay balls.

This scythe is an American classic.  It is engineered in the old timer day, when only Americans built like oxen could use it.
 I'm over 6 feet tall, and I had to adjust the handles. The angle of the blade seemed wrong, so I angled it with some washers.
I taught myself to scythe. I literally tore through many of the brush and brambles until I bought a stone to sharpen the blade. There is no better feeling than cutting through hay or brush with a sharpened blade. 
You will find me in the hot humid heat cutting with my scythe in the field.  I would tell myself at times when the heat got miserable, "They pay big money for hot saunas and sweaty exercises in the cities.  I get it here for free."
I am trying my hand at mow free yard.  I cut down the sprigs and let the clover smother the rest. Clover flowers are so beautiful. They reminds me of a universe of stars.  In this case it is a green universe of stars.

The Home Baler

I used my home baler today to make a plastic bag bale.  I gathered up all the junky top soil bags from around the property and laid them in a bundle in the home baler.  I still can't believe all the bags I gathered made this small bale.  I think I'm going to use this bale to give weight to some plastic I'm using to kill down some grass and weeds.
