Thank you for this encouragement. We have recently purchased property with 4 small pastures. They were not maintained and we have lots of “wild lettuce “. We were mowing them down and my husband went and spot sprayed chemicals on them 😢. I’m so concerned because we are going to get a milk cow or two, we have 22 free range chickens. I pray we can move to this method of allowing nature work this land.
Thank you so much for a very well laid out video chronology. I started with Greg Judy videos, found others that used various drags, all are of great benefit, but I liked your multi year display. Thank you very much
Thank you Vail - came across this looking for regenerative agriculture in horse paddocks. We are going away from Grazon and chemical fertilizers at our place in Fauquier County and working to restore healthy soil. Love the idea of spreading the hay! Do you drag your fields to spread manure as part of pasture management? How about mowing?
This is a great video. Especially if you don't have the means to till it all up, like traditional methods. We have to consider more natural approaches to maintaining the soil biome, as opposed to disrupting the entire biology. Rudolf Steiner had a very natural approach and broad understanding of the importance of the microbiology within the soil, and even the importance of weeds. I had even started an approach similar to this video, as it only made practical sense to lay the old hay out in order to seed the ground. I find it odd that you have over 10k views, and only 98 likes. And who gives a thumbs down, for crying out loud?
Thank you for this. One question is how do you keep it from happening again? It sounds like you were rotationally grazing the horses before (maybe even in a mob grazing fashion) and that is way the shed area got destroyed. Now that it is fixed, what is the difference in management to keep it from happening again? Thanks:)
I see this video is 6 years old. I hope by now they no longer need a sacrifice lot and can rotate their animals year round. That way they can keep and grow the new grass.
No offense, but I don't understand having horses. Seems a huge waste of money. I raise cattle. Anyway, beautiful stand of grass you have. In fall, I overseed with Marshall ryegrass and the cows walk it in. It's a great cool weather grass.
Interests and passions are not about money. Any recreational activity is a "waist of money", but the time enjoying it is worth more then the money spent
Дуже сподобалось вас слухати. Супер свідчення. У вас реально талант від Бога навчати людей цій темі. Дякую
Excellent video....more people should do it just like you have. Simple, great examples and explanations. Thank you!!!
wow never heard anyone explain this so thoroughly....thnx

wonder if it would help to have water troughs located in different areas. Maybe with a shade source or some type of protective cover close to each.
Awesome example of ecological succession! From annual weeds to perennial grasses.. using nothing but animals properly managed :)

Just curious how would this technique work for Wyoming ......mostly clay?
Great video about your process. What brand are those pants in the first section? pockets on the side…
How did you break the hard layer up where the bad bacteria was flourishing?
Yeah I’d like to know that too.

@@bossyblackdog7691 "Waist of money" is when you spend too much on food and you get fat ;-)
A passion that feeds your soul is never a waist of money. Horse people understand this.
Just move your water tank.
