It is on there all the time and I check the records every 2-3 days. The rat is missing. The cat, too. The cob disappears in the fog. Mice frolic at will. Christie mystery, sort of. I don`t know what to think about it. :):):)
It is a Chinese made camera for average budget because I am mean aka frugal and refuse to pay through my nose for gadgets which I don`t really need. :):):):):):) But I am perfectly satisfied with the quality of the photos and videos it takes. It was a good decision to choose that one - I had read dozens of comments by the buyers of various trap cameras.
Eventually, I have established a few facts: 1/ the rat is gone for good. 2/ so is the hamster. 3/ the cobs I had left in the spot were abducted by the rat. I found their remains among the clutter in the barn. It is impossible the hamster took them there.
I wanted to save the hamster but fed the rat instead which is lost anyway. This is called squint-eyed luck in Polish.
do you want to keep captured Right-wing radicals in there?
No, I keep sth else there. Hint - judging by the colour of the walls around new plastering, what facility is it??? Hint No 2 - if I kept rightists there, they would perish within an hour of the process I practise there. Namely what????
I had enough of weeding the front yard so I cleaned it thoroghly, planted new bushes and flowers and covered the whole area with agrofabric. Now I am thinking what to cover the agrofabric with. Bark shreds are an option.
We are slowly running out of our own potato supply. We started consuming them last June and I presume the supply will have given out by the end of February. This makes 9 months. Not bad.
Some smallest ones I am going to plant in spring.
The first harvest already in the outdoor basement. There were two more.
That`s my style. I never cease to wonder why people waste so much time doing such silly boring activities as jogging or working out in the gym. Instead, they should do sth more practical. Today I toiled in the fields for a few hours, improving my health as well as my family`s by growing decent food for them.
Before moving to Poland and buying a house, make sure it's not in a flood zone. Poland still cannot manage catastrophic floods correctly, so owning a property in the area (especially in the South-West side of Poland) can be risky.
I'd be interested in moving off-grid in Poland (north-east probably). I'm from another country in Europe and we have property tax on land/homes here that is in % of the value of said property. What is the property tax on land in Poland? Like if I want to buy say 4 hectares of land and put a mobile home/RV on it, how much will I pay yearly if, say, I paid 600.000 PLN?
It would only be a few hundred zloty per year tax.
However, there are quite heavy restrictions on buying farmland or rural plots over one hectare. You need to Google that - there are plenty of property websites, which will explain the restrictions.
you have to get a permission of the Polish government to buy agricultural land (or a house) in Poland - property taxes in Poland are quite low and they are not (as of now) based on the value of the property
Good to know property tax isn't high. I'm not necessarily looking for strictly agricultural land. I'd like a small forest, even if under 1 hectare, just to have firewood for stove and cooking and space for a greenhouse as far as growing food, some chickens and a couple goats. Any restrictions on solar?(private panels, no weird davos stuff or whatever)
