Catch Fish in a Homemade Pond

Reprinted with permission from Mechanix Illustrated, April 1945, copyright © Fawcett Publications Inc.

Once again, we’re pleased to roll the clock back as much as 30 years or more in order to reprint two more articles by author Hi Sibley.

Hi, in case you’ve never heard of his work, was living a MOTHER-type life of do-it-yourself adobe houses, organic gardening, homestead bees, and like that, way back at the end of World War II. And not only living it . . . but writing about it in a great number of magazines. Unfortunately for us all, more folks back there in the late 40’s were interested in big cars, city jobs, and new homes in the suburbs . . . than were interested in Hi’s subjects.
