I find your videos to be so encouraging. Values, intelligence, understanding, work (V.I.U.W., I guess..) applied in the management of natural processes. Thank you.
Just some advice: open and close your valves slower. It keeps the hoses from developing weak places, saves the pump from destroying itself or connections to come loose. You should “ feel” the flow of the water go more evenly.
I'm the old guy at 77 from Canada, I, like you, do not like the word 'just'. when others try to help they say well, if you 'JUST do this or that, you will solve your predicament, when they do not know anything about my problem. love what you've done with the place. I've been watching since you were growing very large rocks...........cheers.
Happy to hear you've begun night-time irrigation, at least for MIYAWAKI. And thank you for reminding viewers that you DO plan on getting battery-power for more night irrigation.
Hello, I believe a weed eater with blades might be more suitable for the dry grass and sticks and twigs. This also saves you time and nerves trying to untangle the cutting string. Also, I think a scythe (ja, eine altmodische Sense) could be very helpful to cut a few square metres here and there. It is silent, it operates right away and it is almost impossible to destroy. Of course it is not a tool anyone wants to use for big projects and during the day, but it is perfect for when you walk the perimeter in the early hours and you see something that you would like to take care of right away without having to go back. Oh and it doesn’t cost a lot. Bellota is a Spanish brand that makes decent scythes, I believe. This is just „food for thought“ and you make the final decision, best for your situation.
Yes, it is good practice to irrigate over night, since plants take it better, there is less evaporation... many benefits. One possible solution I see is during day when you have lot if sun power you can pump water to higher elevation pond, then during night you don't need to pump water, gravity will do the job. Just need power to turn on or off woblers...
The wobbler with the least requirements in terms of pressure and flow wants 279 liters/hour to throw the water 10 meters far. Gravity fed systems are great for drip irrigation in a small garden with the water tower right there. Once you build a system for a field you quickly learn about all kinds of limitations. Ask me how I know :-)
I have a shelter where I keep chickens at night, it has an automated door and the chickens rarely lay outside (well below 10% of egg volume) so I wouldn't necessarily feel like locking them up until the early PM is optimal.
Right. In any case future shelters with nesting boxes will be mobile and remotely controlled and so all these things can be worked out for the hens we are going to have. It's high on the todo list but first we do need a proper workshop which comes first
Do you know about living willow fences? They could maybe solve some fencing problems while also stabilising the soil over time, by growing a dense root network.
i appreciate your software knowledge and hardware solutions , how will the cables and electronic devices react in case of lightnings or atmospheric electrostatic chargedistributions (Elmsfeuer) , is there a way to protect this precious equipment from heavy wind + thunderstorms ? which frequencies of electronic devices interact with which insects ? Dr Dietrich Klinghardt might have mentioned some effects of electromagnetic radiation.

Water Hammer.
The Water Hammer issue was the same thing I was thinking.
Nice to see the hedgehog.😃
I was actually very surprised to see one show up. There is also a LOT more birds in the farmyard. All a good sign
It is the start of reparation 😂 really love hedgehogs. They eat tons of snail, mice and young rats. Unfortunately also sometimes small chickem😂
@@ProjectGranjaCaimito Hedgehog being present must mean you HAVE HEDGES! 😉

Yup. That's how it is

It depends solely on excess power. If there is, sure we use it

Here and there we do use a scythe and it is from Bellota.

Gravity will probably not give the wobbles enough power to “wobble”, unless the water comes from very very high.

In a different climate with a lot more rainfall

What kind of software do you do? There are many webdevelopers in comment sections in greening projects.
