Harvesting and crushing Black Walnuts

Some folks don't really care about the fruit on their trees, but are nice enough to share them with others, such as through graigslist, so I went in and got some of these difficult nuts, perhaps 150 lbs or so. This is the fun part driving over them, powered by vegetable oil of course.



Got some strawbales as well, not enough to insulate the house though, but perhaps enough to make a cold frame to grow salad in the winter.
