RancherMan & I love the native birds, albeit not all the bird poop they leave on the porch. All those birds were landing on (and POOPING on) our porch railings. What a mess!
Come see the oh-so-simple Homestead Hack solution we came up with!

We have many Bois d’Arc trees (aka: Osage Orange trees) on our Northeast Texas property. I guess I’ve always just assumed people throughout the U.S. had them on their property too.
They grow wild here and we have several trees scattered throughout our property.

The misery of itching from a chigger bite can last for weeks. Many believe the itching is from a chigger buried in the skin. I’ve heard some crazy remedies for the itching, most of them WRONG! (and some downright dangerous too). Read on to separate fact from fallacy with these tiny, itchy pests.

We have a wild hog problem here in NE Texas. Bad. So bad in fact that there’s no official ‘season’ for hunting them because they’re such an invasive, destructive nuisance.
Their sheer numbers are astonishing. They come through like a cloud, leaving nothing but tilled ground & deep holes behind them.
So terrible that the game warden says you can hunt them at any time day or night, in any season.

I really want a few shade trees in our yard. And serious bonus points are added if I can get those shade trees for FREE, #amiright??!!
After spending way too much money trying to get shade trees that would actually live in our yard, a lightbulb went off. Hummmmmm… What if…
