*Apologies for crap quality - twas a phone cam* I’m driving home, turn my head to the right and see a bloody cop copter hovering above the dried up Lake Gwelup. So I did what any other person would do. Squeal in delight and drive in that direction! Apparently someone had been growing marijuana in the dry lake/swamp (whatever you wish to call it), and it had been there for quiiiiiite some time. The marijuana plants you see in this video is just the start. I left because my phone ran out of battery. Apparently 70+ bushes were discovered. Someone is going tooo bee PISSED OFF!

Practical Beef Management Product Links: Amazon.com: www.amazon.com Amazon UK: www.amazon.co.uk Amazon DE: www.amazon.de Hi, I am Russell Seears, I have lived on the land and worked in the Australian cattle industry or in associated industries for most of my life. Cattle do have brains, they can understand directions from humans and they will respond to the sound of a human’s voice. Cattle will remember a management system, so give cattle credit for having an understanding and educate them at weaning, then you will find that your cattle management system will work more smoothly and effectively. I do hope you can gain some benefit from my book on the management and handling breeding cows. Regards, Russell Seears.
Please Watch! This is for a school project… please help the world keep the water clean, as well as conserving it! You can help by not throwing everything down your toilet. If you have medication you want to get rid of, give it to your local pharmacy and they’ll help you take care of it there. Don’t wash your car on the driveway because it’ll all end up back into the river untreated. If you go to a car washing place, the water gets treated before going back into the river. Don’t pour chemicals down the drain! Call and find a place where they can professionally get rid of it without putting it back into our water. Our water on earth is limited and is disappearing because we use it faster than it gets replenished. Keep all the water left on earth drinkable!! Please show this to your friends and family… spread the word! 5 Tips for Conserving Water: 1) Save water from washing fruits and vegetables or such, and use it to water your plants and garden(do that by putting a large bowl underneath) Why? Saving the water from washing fruits and vegetables is saving water from just going down the drain. That saves a significant amount of water. 2) Drink water from only ONE designated cup Why? Constantly using different cups will lead to washing more cups. Washing more cups will use up more water. 3) Only wash full loads of laundry Why? You should do that because a larger load of laundry uses a smaller amount of water than an equivalent amount of laundry seperated into two different …
www.HoverSprinkler.com The Hover Sprinkler is an innovative “patent pending” watering system that saves thousands of gallons of water each year. The Hover Sprinkler was exclusively used to water the above lawn during the “hottest” recorded summer in San Antonio history. By doing so we used only a third of the water we had used the previous “cooler summer. The Hover Sprinkler allows you to have a greener lawn and save water too! It truly is AMAZING.

Here are some simple ways you may not have thought of. To complete this How-To you will need: Food coloring A water jug A broom A spray bottle Step 1: Ask yourself if you really want water Only ask restaurant servers to bring you a glass of water and refill it if you’re planning to drink it. Step 2: Check your toilet Make sure your toilet isn’t leaking by putting a drop of food coloring in the tank. If it shows up in the bowl a few minutes later and you haven’t flushed, you have a leak. Tip: A leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water a day! Step 3: Keep cold water on hand If you drink tap water at home, keep a jug of it in the fridge so you don’t have to run the water until it’s cold. Step 4: Recycle veggie water Wash fruits and vegetables in a basin rather than under running water, then use that water, and any you used to boil vegetables, to water your plants. In addition to saving water, you’ll give them extra nutrients. Or save boiled veggie water to start a soup stock. Tip: If you have a dehumidifier, use the water on …
ANCHOR: And in Australia, farmers are worried about an impending locust attack. Australian ABC reported that the New South Wales state government had nine planes on standby yesterday in case the locusts started to pose a threat to drought stricken crop yields. Authorities do no see the current size of the locust swarm to pose a problem but farmers have been asked to report any swarms they spot.

Ordinary fill valves are miscalibrated and deliver too much water to the bowl, costing homeowners thousands of gallons of water every year. The HydroClean is the only fill valve that can be accurately calibrated to almost any toilet.
