Summer came early to the Ramshackle Ranch this year and the heat brought a few problems.
We take a look at dealing with the inevitable effects of high temperatures and learn a few lessons.

We also want to take an opportunity to introduce another addition to the cast of characters, making up our motley farm.

FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future! For more information visit the Provisioning Page on our website ( www.freerangesailing.com/boat-provisioning ) or to grab a copy directly by clicking on the link below.

  • you guys are the best, from ocean to land you’ve always remained such an inspiration for us ❤ thank you for taking the time to create and share these incredible videos x Phoebe
  • Anytime it's 100°, with little rain, gardens aren't going to look great. Yours really doesn't look too bad. And, like you said, you don't need an over abundant garden right now. I love stories from your farm. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Troy, Pascale & Family, love watching your videos, lots of hard work looking after your animals and garden and not forgetting your new baby Constance. Wishing you all the best, from the UK.

    HELLO Hang some Bay Leaves in your patio and next to the door, fly's just hate the smell of Bay Leaves. If your Barbecuing put a couple leaves in the BQ or in a small candle on the picnic table.

    all them flies would make excellent chicken food ... build a flying insect trap ..put a light on a pole with a fan that blows air into a mesh bag from right by the light ..insects flying around the light will get sucked into the bag you can empty the bag into a little grain and grind it into some high protein chicken feed and you'll be surprised how much and how quickly that sack will fill up with that many flying bugs and the doorway will be made more tolerable

    Frame and screen the porch creating a pest buffer to the house entrance while still allowing air flow. Only way to truly enjoy sitting outside here in South Florida 😊

    Looks like you're having a real summer over there. A polar opposite to the summer here in Sydney so far. We have had a few hot days but it's been very mild overall with many sub 30 days and lots of rain. There is not one yard over here where the grass is so green and growing so fast that mowing weekly is almost a must. It's been terrible for flies for our standards but nothing like what you have going on there. The new pooch looks like a ripper and hopefully he becomes a fantastic fungus finder. Cheers.
  • If you keep the ground connection where it goes into the ground, on a regular basis, the electric fence will work very well.

    when I had pigs there was a big potato farm down the road when they harvest there was tons of waist I would spread them under a hedge or shady place they would last for 6months they would go green but the pigs did not mind

    Set yourself up with some fly traps. There are many on the market from Amazon to Bunnings. You can add your own bait and it does make a difference. Re-usable!!!
