I never am concerned about left overs not being eaten soon enough or all off fall from food prep as with my chickens, guineas and big geese, it all gets exchanged into eggs😄. I love it!!!! God is so Great to make this work! Thank you Jesus❤
Friendly Suggestion: Hook the barrels together at the bottom and you'll draw water from both barrels. Change the top hose to your air vent. This will fill & empty the barrels at the same rate. 💚🌞
Have used water pumps on the farm alot. Noticed the farm trk is back. Hope you can use it again. It seems just yesterday you planted and now nearly time to harvest. Those chickens sure would love the bugs. blessings
Milwaukee RULES. We used that pump to fill our campers water tank while on a site without utilities. I like when you have “what’s Lorraine cooking” part at the end.
Great job! I used to use a pump to fill my washing machine with rain water because our well water was so hard it was ruining our clothes! We now have public water but still was thankful for having a way to wash clothes at home and not destroy our clothes!
You are my favorite homesteader! Those out of control pigs make me laugh every time. And.... I don’t trust NO pigs! I can still see you guys chasing those pigs on your old property. Oh my!
The new mobile water pump set up is a great idea. It's a smart choice especially with multiple uses around the farm. I don't recall you ever growing cantaloupes. They are very refreshing in the summer and in pasta salads. Will you ever grow them?
Nice design! I once learned the hard way what the weight of water can do if you aren’t structurally sound. 330 gallons in an IBC came crashing to the ground. Fortunately nobody was hurt!
I never knew about the battery powered pumps. That is a game changer for me. Our food forest does not have easy access to water so we pump water into a 275gallon tote and have it up there. It is gravity fed and takes foooorevvver to water the trees and plants. This is so portable and light. Also recommend you tie those barrels together at the bottom and have better pressure and the tanks will drain at the same rate. The squash vine borer can be killed with BT. It is an organic insect killer. Inject with a syringe & needle some into the plant above the entry area of the borer and shoot down. Get a big gauge needle for this. I recommend this for all your squash plants.
Did you get your white truck back? Super cool about the battery op water pump!! Dig up the larvae grub & feed to the chickens. Theres a powder you can buy thats a good microbe that kills the grubs, they lay eggs under grass too, this good microbe powder kills them but hurts nothing else. Yiu put 1 TBsp every 4feet. Its takes 2 yrs to spread.
A few years ago, I read that planting radishes in a circle around your squash plants will deter squash borers. It seems to be working for me, but I only grow a few squash plants a year.
You should be able to hook that right to well water. It will help with it flowing faster. Also try hooking up a large sprinkler on a tripod. You could turn it on and walk off. Plus, you would get a more even watering.
Great Pumpkin patch I'm amazed as well that just that Little of good compost on that red clay dirt. And your booming!! Seen your little truck is back.q
I saw a lady do am operation on her plant. She sliced a straight line where they are, took out however many were in there. Closed it back up and the plant lived. You should try it.
I agree a soaker hose wouldn’t fill the whole hose with water. I had a small version of soaker hoses throughout my garden and the pressure did diminish. You found an awesome system to water on your property!😊
Have to say I love your Kune Kune pigs! So cute! Great water setup! Jason you are smart, knowledgeable and you have a great sense of humor (and you're funny)! 😄
David the Good has a fascinating way of growing pumpkins: every several feet he digs a DEEP hole wherein he buries a bunch of organic matter (including dead animal parts like fish heads). The he plants his seeds within a few feet of hole. The plants will send tap routes to find the buried nutrients and send out runners to cover the area
Everything you planted likes sandy well drained soil so the new soil like helped for some nutrients but the prior horse arena was a good base for such.
Nice watering setup. You always have great information to share! also that destructive squash beetle or ? is too bad! I have seen other channels dealing with the same thing. Thank You for sharing~!
Soaker hose would work with your step, it just would be slow to soak all that water out. You would run the house out to the edge and then back toward the water tanks.
Looks like your water barrel spray system is a nice success. Bravo. The pumpkin/ squash field looks healthy. Hope you got all those nasty wormy things. 💞
Awesome with the the pump!! I think it’s great it’s battery powered!! Thanks Lorraine on the squash bugs. I have them really bad !! Don’t want them next year!!
Wouldn’t some ducks eat those bugs? And what about putting chickens over the garden after harvest so they can dig up the dormant larvae? Just wondering.

Update on the truck
those larvae would make the chickens happy get a bucket lol hugsss
Omg Elvira's babies are adorable!
you can use the barn hose and new pump to refill the pumpkin water barrels since the barn hose can be tied to your big tote of water.
Rooster processing day… thinking of you all and how well you taught me. 🎉
Great video - loved the beginning when you showed the beginning of the pumpkin patch and look how healthy it looks now!
Those baby pigs are so cute! Love the new battery operated water pump! Very cool💖
I think that water ketchment system you built is pretty slick.
Keep up the good work the both of you.
Theres a portable solar on demand water pump you can fit into the system and have 45-60 psi water pressure as needed on the water tower

And the squash, eh.
Pumpkin patch is looking great! Ours is going crazy too. Like you said before.. "We're leaf farming"
Love your homestead and appreciate how hard you work❤❤❤❤
You got the mini truck back?!
Nice video, like always. Really love your easy going camera style.
My husband is a plumber and that Milwaukee pump is his favorite tool for emptying water heaters quick! 😊
Thank you LORRAINE and JASON. You did a fine job with the water. I love the FRIDAY SHOPTALK ☀️
Hi... Jason thanks you for showing your video homestead beautiful great good job 🏡🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🦃🐑🐖🐷🐝🎥👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Milwaukee RULES. We used that pump to fill our campers water tank while on a site without utilities. I like when you have “what’s Lorraine cooking” part at the end.
“Alvira, your kids are out of control!”❤️
😂😂😂
Run ground irrigation system from the barrels
Great job on the pumpkin/squash patch. ❤😂
What a fantastic invention. Great to see the little truck back in business. Thanks for sharing Jason.
Love all your videos ❤
You could even attack the hose from the well to the pump to up its pressure. Thats a good investment.
Exactly what I was thinking !!
You’re a great problem solver!
Lovely well done lovely family 😊
I've used a water transfer pump to water my garden for past couple years works great!
Plan in full swinging action, Awesome work team!
This is my dream to homestead like this
Fun!! Great to see you guys!!
Consider brass quick releases on all of your hoses. Moving the pump and hoses will be much easier.
The farm is looking ah-mazing!
Great progress again! Wonderful squash & pumpkin patch & animals! 🤗💗🇨🇦
Great job! I used to use a pump to fill my washing machine with rain water because our well water was so hard it was ruining our clothes! We now have public water but still was thankful for having a way to wash clothes at home and not destroy our clothes!
That pump is sweet. God bless.

Feed those grubs to Bernice. Turn them into eggs!
Thank you for your videos, I have learned so much. I'm in the Niagara Region, of Ontario, Canada. Hope to shake your hands one day.
@itsgoodforthesoilgardens Hello Canada. Wishing you a wonderful day and an abundant garden. 😊
Love the new pump and water tower , Pigs are so cute,
SoCal still sucks.
But you give us hope.
😊
💚 Love your huge pumpkin/squash/melon patch and that pump sure helps with the watering! Wonder why those heritage turkeys are so shy? 💚
Wow way to go makes a big difference love it
Wow, you finally got your little truck back!
Nice design! I once learned the hard way what the weight of water can do if you aren’t structurally sound. 330 gallons in an IBC came crashing to the ground. Fortunately nobody was hurt!
That is so cool! Good job Jason and Lorain! Blessings 💕🤗
enjoyed the video. looks like I saw the little farm truck in the background while you were watering the squash and melons. have a great week
Wow its really like that removable water pump ,that's want I need too, very nice brother it's a very useful for any place in a farm.
Nice setup with the water and pump. Looking forward to seeing the other water catchment you are building.
Yay! We are living in the future! Cool addition.
Yum pumpkin patch. Might need air protection. Love love the pumpkin patch. Your water barrel design is fantastic.

Would sprinkling diatomaceous earth kill the larva without harming the soil?
It would not hurt the soil, may actually help it.

You got some nasty bugs out there in America, definitely pump is a added bonus to your set up
Amazing! Game changer pump.
if you look in the end of the hose, water will get there faster
🤣😂
Excellent! You could also insert it between hoses from the well for a booster.
A few years ago, I read that planting radishes in a circle around your squash plants will deter squash borers. It seems to be working for me, but I only grow a few squash plants a year.
You need one of those overhead sprinklers on a tripod to hook up to your barrels and pump
You should be able to hook that right to well water. It will help with it flowing faster. Also try hooking up a large sprinkler on a tripod. You could turn it on and walk off. Plus, you would get a more even watering.
This is pretty awesome, and all from rain water.
Great Pumpkin patch I'm amazed as well that just that Little of good compost on that red clay dirt. And your booming!!
Seen your little truck is back.q
Your ideas are ingenious. Well done
That's pump is a very nifty gadget to have. You could have a sprinkler attached with a timer!
I saw a lady do am operation on her plant. She sliced a straight line where they are, took out however many were in there. Closed it back up and the plant lived. You should try it.
Love the water set up for your melon, gord area!
I’ve been using the same pump for years now! It is so great!
I use soaker hoses. On regular water pressure turned down but making sure it gets to the end of the hose. Grew a row of 12 tomato plants every year.
I agree a soaker hose wouldn’t fill the whole hose with water. I had a small version of soaker hoses throughout my garden and the pressure did diminish. You found an awesome system to water on your property!😊
You always make me laugh…….”babies are out of control, they act like I owe them money “….😂😂😂😂😂I can’t stop giggling 🤭😆😝
Have to say I love your Kune Kune pigs! So cute! Great water setup! Jason you are smart, knowledgeable and you have a great sense of humor (and you're funny)! 😄
You could set the catchment barrels uphill from the garden. If the land has enough slope, that might work.
David the Good has a fascinating way of growing pumpkins: every several feet he digs a DEEP hole wherein he buries a bunch of organic matter (including dead animal parts like fish heads). The he plants his seeds within a few feet of hole. The plants will send tap routes to find the buried nutrients and send out runners to cover the area
The endless possibilities!
Love ya new water set up
Add drip irrigation for efficiency
Nice water system!
Very cool pump! I would think you could set up a drip system and use that.
Everything you planted likes sandy well drained soil so the new soil like helped for some nutrients but the prior horse arena was a good base for such.
Did I see your farm truck back on the homestead?
Yippeeee!
Since you've got perfect presure, how about installing sprinkler snd probably with water timer!
Love your videos ❤
Hey Jason, did you ever think of getting a tote (300) gallons instead of using smaller rain barrels?
I sliced open my butternut squash where the borer was, extracted it and then taped the vine back up. Was fine after that
I love Zeke!
Not sure if some had already mentioned, but the hose that jumps barrels should be at the bottom.
Your awsome and so intelligent
Nice watering setup. You always have great information to share! also that destructive squash beetle or ? is too bad! I have seen other channels dealing with the same thing. Thank You for sharing~!
Your videos are great! Thanks for such nice content!
Soaker hose would work with your step, it just would be slow to soak all that water out. You would run the house out to the edge and then back toward the water tanks.
Lovely pumpkins🎉
They also have sprinklers for low pressure.
Looks like your water barrel spray system is a nice success. Bravo. The pumpkin/ squash field looks healthy. Hope you got all those nasty wormy things. 💞
Awesome with the the pump!! I think it’s great it’s battery powered!! Thanks Lorraine on the squash bugs. I have them really bad !! Don’t want them next year!!
You can bury the stems as they grow along the ground. Like tomatoes, they'll root along the stem. Then, you just cut out the affected section.
I like that pump.
Wouldn’t some ducks eat those bugs? And what about putting chickens over the garden after harvest so they can dig up the dormant larvae? Just wondering.
