Five Acre Farm and Orchard

Let’s think smarter.

➡️ Parking lots have already utilized the ground. No utilization of air space.
➡️ Solar fields utilize air space, and waste ground that could otherwise be used for crops, animal homes, housing, etc.

✨ Combining the two (solar over parking lots) is a win-win.
️Parking lots get shade.
Lessened environmental impacts.
Large amount of parking lot availability, so no limitations when it comes to acquiring land.

Why are we not doing this?

Here is my concoction for a little more chemical friendly fly spray to keep my furbabies happy. It is well worth taking two minutes to make.

Remember it’s not a recipe. It’s a guide!

Garden sprayer. Mine is 1.5 gallons
White vinegar ( mine is concentrated so I followed directions on bottle to water it down)
Mineral oil
Mouth wash, the yellow kind. Generic works just fine.
Essential oil. I had lavender so that’s what I used.
Rosemary, citronella and mint will work great too.

Add to garden sprayer and lightly spray or brush in your fur baby for all day comfort. Spray as needed. Added benefit, themineral oil helps shine their coats and the lavender is calming.

Such a good idea I wanted to share…these are NOT MY HORSES. Just something that I’d like to keep in mind should the occasion arise.

One of the pastures has 5 horses, including two bay thoroughbreds with stripes. Those two horses could easily be confused by someone who doesn’t see them every day. I bought different colored bell boots to match their feed buckets and my helper said it was so easy!

The secret potion for horse owners.

This stuff perfect for any skin condition like scratches or rain scald. Spray on full strength, rub into the fur and lesions and in three days it's all cleared up.

It is also good as a hoof cleanser to clear up or prevent thrush and other nasty stuff.

It is perfect to clean buckets, troughs and feed pans. During the summer a capful or two in your water trough will help keep the algae at bay.

Add some to your fly spray to increase potency.

Mix some with a little baby oil for a coat gloss at shows.

Spray on full strength as a liniment/bracer after exercise.

Handy hand sanitizer.

It doesn't freeze until it is so cold that you really don't care if you need it or not.

It's not great for wound care because of the alcohol but in a pinch it's better than nothing.
