Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for spacing between swales? So far I have dug two by hand and the rough center between them is between 25-30 ft (can’t remember the exact amount) I wanted to add maybe 15 more at similar intervals. The slope on my property isn’t extremely steep and I haven’t thought of it made a good way to connect them.

Hi everyone, my fiance and I have been reading up on this loan for a bit now- you know, the USDA zero down single-family rural land/home loan. I understand that farms are not eligible, and that the property cannot be used primarily for commercial or income purposes. What seems unclear to me is if we would be able to, while living on the property as our primary residence of course, produce sellable items- or does that disqualify us? I’m talking about crops, animal products, and woodworking products. Any insight would be of great help, thank you all! -Nick

Just found this kon-tiki kiln on sale on Facebook marketplace and thought I’d pass it on to you like-minded folks since I know there are a fair amount of us from Michigan on here. Here’s the link: . Pic 1 and pic 2 if you (understandably) hate Facebook
I’d be interested in it, myself, but it’d probably cost me more than $250 to get the thing to my place. I don’t have a truck or anything that could lift this 1,000 pound thing.
I hope this doesn’t sound like self-promotion, but if the mods want to flair it that way (or delete it), so be it. Just a chance find that will hopefully help one of you. The people selling it don’t seem to know what they even have and I assume that’s why it’s at such a reasonable price.
Sorry to the rest of you who are uninterested.
