Simonin's Aquatic Farm Simonin’s Aquatic Farm — DIY builds, aquaponics, rustic steampunk, and regenerative systems. We are raising all things aquatic. Aquaponics!!!

A living workshop where nature and old-school ingenuity create something new every day. After a small setback in 2009 we found a humble little house with 10 acres in Kent's Store, VA to build the new Simonin's Aquatic Farm.

The barnyard is LOSING ITS MIND today. I started tearing apart the old farm truck — pulled the grill, headlights, fender, bumper, the whole front end — and the Gossip Committee immediately went into DEFCON 1.

Karen started clucking that “Thomas done broke the whole farm!”
Feathers was flapping like she was guiding airplanes in for landing.
Clucky swore the spider I found was “the size of a dinner plate and possibly prehistoric.”
Happy Duck laughed so hard she nearly fell over, saying the scope camera made the spider look like Godzilla’s cousin.
Old Yote just shook his head like, “Lord have mercy… y’all dramatic.”
And Kevin the Rooster declared three separate emergencies, none of which helped anybody.

Half the barnyard is laughing at me for jumping at the spider.
The other half is screaming bloody murder like the spider was armed and dangerous.

Meanwhile, I’m just trying to see if the Comanche’s unibody is solid.

Liquid Nail Day! Worm Farm Tank Finally Comes Together!

Today Grandpa Thomas is finishing up the worm tank, fully lined with PVC fiberglass panels and locked in tight using Liquid Nail. This is the moment the Worm Condo officially becomes a worm fortress. The barnyard is already in full meltdown mode as the “Marriott for Earthworms” gets its final touches.

Watch as the PVC panels go in, the Liquid Nail gets applied, and the worm farm takes a huge step toward becoming the most luxurious worm housing in Virginia. If you’re into worm farming, composting, DIY builds, or just good old country‑funny chaos, this video is for you.

👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for the next part of the Worm Condo Saga — the critters are NOT ready for what’s coming next.

The Liquid Nail Lockdown
Grandpa Thomas was out there this morning finishing up the worm tank like he’s closing construction on a luxury apartment complex. He had that PVC fiberglass paneling lined up perfect, and then he pulled out the Liquid Nail like it was holy water.

The barnyard went into DEFCON 3.

Becky the Chicken saw that tube of Liquid Nail and screamed,
“Oh Lord… he’s sealing the worm condo. Those worms are getting better weatherproofing than my entire coop!”

Feathers flapped her wings dramatically.
“He’s using construction adhesive. Construction adhesive. For worms. Meanwhile, my nesting box is held together with hope and a bent screw.”

Clucky leaned in, whispering like she was reporting breaking news:
“I heard Liquid Nail is what they use on fancy houses. These worms are basically getting a spa.”

Happy Duck waddled by, stared at the shiny PVC walls, and quacked,
“If those worms get waterproof paneling before I get a new pond liner, I’m filing a grievance.”

And Old Yote, sitting on the hill chewing on absolutely nothing, just nodded slow.
“Grandpaw Thomas ain’t building a worm farm… he’s building a worm fortress. Next thing you know, they’ll have keycard access.”

🚨 WE ARE OVER CAPACITY… AND THE HOUNDS KEEP COMING 🚨

Our shelter is completely overwhelmed right now, with almost nothing but Hounds filling our kennels. We are working hard every single day, reaching out to rescues and trying to find help for these dogs, but unfortunately, many of our rescue partners are already full of Hounds and simply don’t have the space to take more. 💔

That makes situations like this one especially heartbreaking.

found this sweet girl on 301 near Doggetts Fork Road, and we are desperately hoping she has a family out there looking for her. We want to believe she is lost—not another Beagle who was dumped simply because someone no longer wanted her.

Beagles & Hounds are loyal, loving, goofy, wonderful dogs who deserve so much more than being discarded when hunting season ends or when they don’t meet someone’s expectations.

🙏 Please share this girl. Maybe someone recognizes her. Maybe her family is looking for her. And maybe, just maybe, we can keep her from becoming another statistic in an already overflowing shelter.

Grandpa Thomas was out there this morning hammering away like he’s building a Marriott for earthworms. The main worm box of the condo is officially standing tall, and the barnyard is already losing its collective mind.

Becky the Chicken strutted by, squinting at the fresh lumber like she was inspecting a crime scene.
“Hmm. Looks like Grandpa’s building another international incident,” she clucked.

Feathers flapped her wings and whispered, “I heard next he’s lining the whole thing with PVC paneling. That’s right—these worms are getting WALLS. Meanwhile, I’m still living in a coop with a draft.”

Clucky added, “If he installs crown molding, I’m moving in. Rent or no rent.”

Old Yote wandered past, shook his head, and delivered his signature line:
“Grandpaw Thomas can’t do anything without causing an international incident… now he’s got worms living better than the rest of us.”

Stay tuned. Once that PVC paneling goes in, these worms might start demanding a rooftop pool and a HOA.

🐔🦆🐴 “Thomas’s Old School Horse Trough Spa”
Y’all… I walked out on the porch this morning and found myself staring at a fresh cut pine horse trough I just built — looks like something straight outta a 1950s barn… except now it’s a spa for fish.
And the barnyard committee has officially LOST IT.
Becky the Gossip Hen marched up first, squintin’ at the boards like she was appraising real estate. “Mm hmm. Fresh pine. Tight joints. Horses never got water this fancy. Thomas out here buildin’ a luxury resort for minnows.”
Feathers the Drama Duck tried to claim it as her personal bath. Saw the fish inside, screamed, “EXCUSE ME, WHY ARE THERE TENANTS IN MY TUB?”
Clucky the Rooster hopped on the porch rail and announced, “BREAKING NEWS: Thomas has constructed a HISTORICAL HORSE TROUGH… but for fish. This is unprecedented.”
The Goat sniffed the wood and said, “Smells expensive. I’m gonna chew on it later.”
And then Old Yote wandered over, looked at the trough, looked at me, and said: “Grandpaw Thomas can’t do anything without causing an international incident. You built a horse trough for fish… now the whole barnyard thinks it’s a water park.”
Meanwhile the dragonflies are acting like tiny lifeguards and the fish are swimming around like they’re on vacation.
Just another peaceful morning at Kents Store.

⭐ Gossip Committee + Old Yote ⭐
BREAKING NEWS from the Kents Store Gossip Committee:
Becky, Feathers, and Clucky have convened an emergency meeting after Thomas unveiled his brand‑new worm condo.

Becky: “Girls… these worms got penthouses, lettuce buffets, and a compost concierge. I ain’t never seen worms live this fancy.”

Feathers: “It’s basically a five‑star resort. I heard one worm asked for turn‑down service.”

Clucky: “Meanwhile WE get regular dirt and whatever water Thomas remembers to put out. I’m filing a complaint.”

And just when the drama couldn’t get any hotter…

Old Yote strolls in, sits on a stump, and drops his usual wisdom:

“Grandpaw Thomas can’t do anything without causin’ an international incident. Build a worm condo? Boom — global crisis. Ducks protestin’, chickens demandin’ water rights, worms negotiatin’ treaties. I’m tellin’ ya… this farm needs a peacekeeper.”

The Gossip Committee has officially declared the worm condo “a matter of worldwide concern.”
Stay tuned — the United Nations of Kents Store is now in session.

Grandpa’s back at it again here at Kents Store.
I walked outside and found he built a full‑blown worm high‑rise — complete with a Penthouse Suite, Wiggle Inn, and Loam Lounge.
These worms are living better than us… wearing hats, eating lettuce, and paying rent in cardboard.

If you enjoy farm chaos, worm farming, composting, or just watching Grandpa lose his mind in creative ways — you’re in the right place.

Hit that like button if you think the worms deserve a rooftop pool next.
