trockne Zeiten - dort beendet ? Starke Regenfälle in der Sahara : Benjamin Fulford - bei tanneneck pausepunkt blogspot enduncomg siehe der dortige link - dort weiter unten . Zitat Ben Fulford : >Die größte Sandwüste in Saudi-Arabien ist jetzt fast ein Ozean. Nach einer Reihe schwerer und ungewöhnlicher Regenfälle verwandelte sich die Wüste Rub al-Khali zwischen Al-Aflaj und Al-Salil in ein Binnenmeer. Historische Regenfälle, übergelaufene Dämme und riesige Seen bildeten ungewöhnliche Szenen. <

Not sure if this can work with your car/trailer, but instead of super duper high capacity pump and rotating sprinklers you may have poor mans emergency irrigation? Meaning: get 1m3 water containers (or whatever you can move with your car to a higher elevation), put it on a trailer. Pump water during the day. Drive to the higher elevation in the evening. Attach some pipe to the above cistern (you can drill holes in it, make it more fancy with multiple pipes etc... Let it flow over the night. If the trailer/car can not take 1t, fill just a half. Yes, I am aware it is a drop, but then it may save at least some trees.

You're definitely much better off now than one year ago. Your Regenerative farm, along with Martin's Suerte Del Molino are the only two in Andalucia that I've heard about.

What software are you running to read the moisture meters?

The pond is now only 17 inches deep. Wade out there and get the pump.

Watch this at 4 minutes about how small pipes lose so much power

interesting,thanks for sharing,good luck.

from Canada.........I really enjoy the program. I was in the same situation in my younger years and could do nothing to bring my land to life. either the knowledge was not available or I was not smart enough to do anything. I wish I could do it again, but age has krept upon me. 77 now. I'm so looking forward to this coming year for the new forest. I wish you the best.............

can u get ponds dug before rain comes ?

adapt youre broken pump to windmill driven❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

wish I had the option to do such a project as you do but on a smaller scale like 2-4 HA

Fill sorry for the pump, but it had to burn at some time. Hope you can have s.o. to repair it. Hopefully it is only an over current protection that burned and not the actual motor.

Would it not be better to limit your planting based on how much you can adequately irrigate, rather than planting so much that you have to ration the water? It seems that all your plants are suffering to some extent from a lack of water. You could have had a small thriving area around your house this year if you had not stretched yourself so much. In each coming year, you could spread out, improving adjacent bits of land. It would mean more or less ignoring the rest of the property, but does that matter? You already accept that it will take many years for the land to recover. When things don't turn out well, you often say that you were experimenting. But the truth is, many times, you can foresee an outcome simply by using logic. You don't need to waste time, money, and energy to confirm it. Logic would have told me not to buy cattle in an area where beef was not popular. It would have told me to work on the land near my house first so that I didn't have far to travel each day to do whatever I needed to do and to easily be able to monitor my progress. I know this is not an attempt at creating a profit-making business (though I think you would have done a much better job if it had been), but I wonder why you seem so determined to make it a loss-making enterprise. Nothing you have done so far has been wholly successful, mainly because you have spread your resources so thinly. It pains me to say all this because I have been following you from the start, and I really want your project to succeed. I hope the rain comes soon.

Should a pump electric motor just burn like that, particularly if so expensive at EUR 2,000?

The dogs seem more calm and at peace since the grumpy alpha dog passed away.

Would irrigation during early morning hours result bin less evaporation loss?

Have you tried Jerusalem artichoke, it is a relative to the sunflower that grows rapidly and spreds by itself underground?

Close call for the cyprus tree. Usually no one plant anything during the summer. Let see if they survive. For the one that is not strait you may trim to favorize a new strait grow.

Sonnenblumen oder andere Pflanzen mit Samen sind toll!. Das lockt auch Vögel und Insekten an.

YAY DRONE footage! Also, at time-code 7:43, upper-left MAY be your blue-lid! (8:16 I was wrong). 9:16 congratulations on finding the balance!

he is a lovely and smart cat

That cat will need all of those lives 😂

Loving it

It has been 30C here in Poland for an extended period and the whole garden is dry and thirsty so I realise how valuable water is where you are. I also have to delay any outside work until late afternoon, and we let the 15 chickens and 7 ducks into the garden where they can find shade - not the 4 guinea fowl as they wander off the property. Justi finished stacking 22 cubic metres of wood for the next 2 winters.

Es wäre u.U. ein Versuch, A eine Fläche mit - Bohrer am Bagger - bis zum Grundwasser in einem Raster durch zu bohren um den Boden stellenweise dort zu lockern. B Daneben auf einer gleichartigen Fläche gleichmäßig 2m tief mit dem - Bohrer am Bagger - den Boden flächig dort zu lockern. Danach erscheint Alfalfa = Luzerne aussichtsreich (aus engl.wikipedia) : Alfalfa is a perennial forage legume which normally lives four to eight years, but can live more than 20 years, depending on variety and climate. The plant grows to a height of up to 1 metre (3+1⁄2 feet), and has a deep root system, sometimes growing to a depth of more than 15 m (49 ft) to reach groundwater. In der deutschen wikipedia schafft die Luzerne nur etwa 5m . Auch in den videos auf YT werden viele Vorteile der Luzerne aufgezählt Der o.g. Vergleich kann zeigen, welche Art der Vorbereitung einer Anpflanzung eher zum Erfolg führt. Im Vergleich könnte sich zeigen, inwieweit Bermuda gras und Vetyver und Luzerne die Durchwurzelung und Lockerung des Bodens schaffen - und ob sie zum Grundwasser vordringen.

Thank you for the overdue update on your chickens! Any word on Mr. Hedgehog? Thanks also for reminding us of the multi-generational evolution of family farms, & that you're the equivalent of the INITIAL HOMESTEADER. 20:34 ...love how the trailer MATCHES the Jeep!

BIRDS, LOTS of BIRDS, & lots of BIRD-$#i+! 😉

Love the shadow from the Paulownia trees! They're clearly thriving when given sufficient water

in future keep nitrogen fixing cover crop,add bio mass wgen poss no dig no till❤❤❤❤❤

You got enough ponds to keep the rain water in.❤

Could you say a little more about what you mean by "structure" in the soil? The hardpan, below the harrowed 15cm, is a 'structure' of sorts. One might say that the top 15cms have a 'loose structure'. Do you include the structure created by a healthy soil biome, especially the binding of soil particles by bacteria & fungi? You do seem to be suggesting that the tap-root of the sunn hemp might create, or be part of creating, this 'structure'. How so? Do you mean it simply as a sort of natural 'rebar', preventing, or a least slowing, soil erosion resulting from rainstorms? A sparse cover of albeit deep-rooted plants would do little to reduce surface run-off (and likewise little to reduce the compaction caused by the rain striking on the ground). Nor would it do much against the force of a canalizing torrent. Is it to reduce the gradual 'flow' of soil, as slowly draining water moves through the soil, very slowly carrying the soil along with it? TLDR (again..) Also, since I know nothing about the growth cycles of this plant, I wonder if the tap-root is not developing exactly because you are watering. If it is reliably receiving enough water, why expend the energy of pushing down a deeper root - if this is an adaptation for drier environments, with less (wobbler-) water in what is the rhizosphere/root-depth of other species? Without the deeper root, it might lack the stability for greater height. The seasonal conditions for germination might be very different than the seasonal conditions for growth, in both height & root-depth. [Lack of growth as lack of need for growth] Further, all living things have limited 'senses', limited metrics, and I have seen it well-argued that a sufficient & regular supply of water during the hot & dry season can persuade a plant not to set seed/fruit. It is experiencing wet Springtime conditions, unsuited to these processes, ie Water quantity/frequency may be the metric for seasonality of growth/maturity, rather than a metric of light/heat. If there is still plenty of (Springtime) water for photosynthesis, it can still afford to feed exudates to its buddies in the soil, investing in its sub-surface environment, rather than the alternate, genetic investment - in seed/fruit? [Lack of growth as seasonal investment confusion] Lastly, plants with strong tap-roots are often permaculture-planted precisely because those roots can penetrate hard-pan, improving water-penetration. Wouldn't a native plant with a tap-root survival-strategy actually rely on this ability? Adapt to endure the absence of water, or adapt to securely find that water? As a spur off from the 'seasonal investment confusion', might not sufficient & regular watering of these plants actually be a way to 'hack' the natural process of seasonal investment? If you can 'persuade' the plants to employ their Springtime strategy, and keep on processing sunshine into root exudates, feeding/growing the plant-specific/suitable soil-biome, you might usefully accelerate the soil succession. Granted, you won't get majestically tall plants, but you might get something more beneficial to the soil. Consider: The bacteria-laden root-nodules of clover gradually accumulate Nitrogen, which is then drawn on by the plant when it transitions to seed-setting. Using unseasonal watering to keep the clover from triggering the hot/dry-season response of seed-setting would allow a significantly extended period of Nitrogen accumulation. If being used as a seasonal cover-crop, it could then be terminated, releasing the increased Nitrogen into the soil. There seems to be a lack of consensus on the 'as above, so below' relation, eg. Does a close mowing of the clover, and loss of photosynthesizing leaves, cause a corresponding loss/abandonment of root? If so, then termination would not be necessary for an at least partial release of Nitrogen.

Hello I have mixed feeling about plowing the field. You manage to get something but far to sparse. If you plow deeper, you will need eavier everything to break the soil. Archimed teaches us than the more you apply a force on the ground with a tool to break it, the more you get the opposing force on the weels to compact it. Please be as modest as usual, create food for the biology on the top layer and life will manage. You need to find a way to have jungle like cover. I will again recommend mineral fertilizer with doze adapted to the available water. (Organic one looks not available and mulch is also out) You still need to find a way to get successfull cover and get the cover always more successfull. I believe you can rely on roots to get a good soil and break compaction, but there is so much way to do.

are you sure the cypress trees didn't get too much water while irrigating them? here in patagonia cypress trees thrive in VERY dry areas and on mountains where the water table is probably pretty low. hope you can get them growing soon. amazing work overall!

Hopefully you get some rain soon. 👍🏼

Can I ask exactly what the vet was doing - cleaning the teeth, grinding them? Never seen this before! And it is very strange how trees just decide to die - we know it well. It has been 32 C here in Poland so I understand what it must be like working in your temperatures. Very draining.

About the dying trees, maybe there is a small animal feeding on the roots. It may be usefull to uproot it to check it out. If it is the dog enclosure it is more probably an insect than a mamal.

Glad everyone is safe . Well done on getting the fire out.

The other horse came to ask if the one at the dentist will be okay 😅

If you plan against fire, you need to have something to protect the electric installation and pumps against the fire that can disable them.

Im not sure how easy it is to install but have you thought about having a water tower and pumping into it in the day and irrigate over night with gravity.

Well that was a first for me. Horse dentistry.

For someone so afraid of humans based on his past experiences with them, he was such a good boy having his mouth invaded, even if it is for own benefit. Even for horses unafraid of humans, many wouldn't simply stand still like this, and you'd have to get them into the crush in order to provide dental treatment so they didn't end up hurting themselves or their handlers.

For info, from a HV cable jointer of 35 years. Do not tread on or bend the heat shrink cable joint. The glue inside it may crack allowing a water track to form. If it warrants mechanical strength a B and H resin joint with associated filling compound fitted over it will greatly improved survivability.

Two observations: That is a well behaved horse! And second, I would suggest that worker sawing wears safety glasses. Both for his health and also to avoid the expensive cost of emergency room. Statistically it is just a matter if time until ones luck runs out.

Great job at confining the fire!😮‍💨 How much area do you think it burned? Did the PV panels survive? About the flow-hive: I think it’s a great tool. Be aware that in some specific conditions of temperature and flower species, it can be clogged up. Here in northern Italy, for example, in autumn there are almost no flowering plants except for ivy, from which the bees produce a really dense honey. This, coupled with the dropping temperature, leads to some problems. Just be aware of this 🙏🏽

Here in arid Greece, some spread attapulgite soil improver around their olive trees and in their veggie gardens with great results in water retention and speed of plant growth. Thankfully, here it's easy to source.

Me thinks that with all this watering you could have a decent field of vetiver, Napier grass, sun hemp or sorgum. Hindsight is 20:20...
