Summary

Hail is easily one of the biggest enemies that exist on our homestead. As some of you might know, last year a hail storm destroyed one of my gardens (and our trampoline). While there are many different solutions to this problem, we had to be mindful of not only the hail but also the extremely high winds that occur in this part of the country.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Old Fashioned On Purpose Podcast.
0:04.0	You've heard me mention it before, but Hale is definitely one of my most formidable enemies here on our homestead and just last year in fact we had a good portion of our
0:18.1	garden completely massacred by an unexpected hailstorm.
0:23.0	So Christian and I had had enough.
0:25.8	I felt like the stress of impending hail
0:28.9	was just a little bit too much for me every single summer. So we came up with a solution. We built the
0:36.6	world's craziest, coolest custom hail net and I've gotten a lot of questions about how this all went down so I'm diving into that in
0:47.1	today's episode.
0:49.2	I'm your host Jill Winger and this is the podcast for the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks, the Makers, the Homesteaders, the Modern Pioneers, and the Backyard Farmers.
0:59.0	If you're ready to boost your food security and live a more homegrown lifestyle, well this is the podcast for you.
1:06.1	Hey friend, I'm interrupting this episode for just a second to talk Mason jars because obviously they're one of my favorite homestead tools in existence.
1:16.6	Naturally I use mason jars for canning but I also love them as a go-to for everyday pantry storage and for holding my DIY cleaning supplies. Recap mason jar lids are my secret weapon for converting regular old jars into shakers, spray bottles, soap pumps, and pourable
1:35.3	containers.
1:36.3	Most recently, I have fallen in love with their straining lids because I just started experimenting with Kiefer and these
1:44.4	lids are seriously reducing the amount of dishes I have to do each day after I
1:48.8	feed my Kiefer and if you have no idea what I'm talking about when I say Kiefer, well, we'll be covering that in a future podcast episode, so stay tuned.
1:59.0	Anyway, when Recap Lids heard how much I love using these lids and strainers. They put together a special
2:05.0	kit just for podcast listeners in July. Use coupon code Homestead and take 20% off the already discounted price of this set which includes
