About Me

When I purchased some new land on which to grow my crops, I didn't realise the risk posed by heavy rainfall. The land is at the bottom of a slope, so during a storm a large amount of water can collect on the ground, swamping my plants and causing a great deal of damage. My friend recommended that I install a soak well in order to capture and drain excess water from the land. I consulted with an engineer and some contractors and they helped me to design and install a soak well on my land. Since then I have had no problems with flooding. I decided to start this blog to offer advice to others about the installation and maintenance of a soak well. I hope you find it useful.

Everything You Should Know About Sheep Lice and How to Control Them

Lice is one of the most challenging pest menaces sheep farmers have to handle. Unlike other types of livestock, sheep have a thick coat, which provides the perfect breeding grounds for lice. However, their presence on the animals' skins makes them uncomfortable. One of the early signs of an infestation is when your flock keeps scratching, biting and dragging their body against the fence and other surfaces. You should consult an agricultural expert on ways to control the spread.
