We've had a bit of a cold snap,... or rather, more seasonal weather compared with the previous few months. The chicken water gets frozen every night, so each morning I head out there to bring 'em a new, free-flowing jug of water. Can't wait for spring when I can hook them up to my ram pump!
But, solar panel, battery and electric fence are clicking away despite the cold. It seems to be gathering some good solar rays.
Inside the hoop house it's always a pleasant temperature during the day, but at night it's clearly getting pretty chilly. There was a light touch of frost on the soil this morning.
Really not too bad considering it was 12 degrees outside. There is a lot of moisture in the air of the hoop house, and it all seems to condense and freeze on the inside of the roof.
As it warms up during the day, all this moisture thaws out and rains down. Then it evaporates and condenses again. It's like having my own weather system.
