permaculture

["Rich Blaha" <rich@mossbackfarm.com>]

We've been doing pastured poultry for 5 years now...we used Premiere's 20B 
for a battery/solar charger for 3 of them 
(http://www.premier1supplies.com/store/prod_display.html?prod_id=377&pcat_id=23&cat_id=43)

They are a little more expensive, but everything they make is of the highest 
quality.  Our only complaint with that model was that we either had to 
recharge the battery every 3 weeks or so, or get a disposable one that lasted 
most of the year 

As our farm grew, we got out of using a battery/solar powered charger, and 
now use an AC charger that uses a miniscule amount of energy (both in terms 
of power consumption and human work).  The solar battery energizer is now 
relegated to very temporary ram/cattle fencing off of the farm 'grid'
