It’s a common misconception that goats are ravenous for absolutely anything and everything in sight – be it actual feed, your favourite rose bush, cactus, socks etc. In fact, they are quite selective.

Wooden Louvre Shutter Door Gets a Rustic Farmhouse Makeover

DIY Garden Pot Makeover
Do you have a spot in your house that you walk past every day, saying to yourself “You there need a little somethin’ somethin’!”? Me too! Mine has been the backdoor area where we kick our boots off and it’s really just quite a lacklustre, boring and dark entry. It’s an odd mix of browny…
