Recycle All Those Plastic Bottles Into Insulation

Barn owners are making decisions everyday in an attempt to be more eco-conscious. Recycling and reducing energy consumption are two of the best ways to make an impact. Why not combine the two?...with plastic bottle insulation.

The theory is simple, anything that traps air can be used as insulation, and the fact remains that used water bottles already overflow our trash bins and landfills. Given them new life between your walls will reduce heating and energy cost.

 

Keeping Your Pastures Green
There are many ways to improve the performance of your established pastures.
One idea is to purchase an inexpensive soil test kit to maintain a dense, vigorous sod that will withstand the constant trampling of horses. The testing will help you determine the type and amount of fertilizer that is needed for good pasture growth. This will also help prevent nutrient run off from over-fertilized pastures and can improve your horse's nutrition.
