Don’t know if you have any large rocks around the farm but you could layer them up and make a low maintenance rockery garden on the bank that would also help as a retaining wall to stop the lawn subsiding in the future. Interesting videos as always.
I’m about 10 miles from you, I love seeing the extreme weather days and knowing roughly what day the filming took place, that down pour was last Thursday right? Your videos are awesome, better than any tv show that focuses so much on being perfect in everything. This is 100% authentic and honest. Great work.
For the bank, look up sedum mats. The same kind as used on green roofs. They are great for insects and pollinators and are happy on quite steep slopes.
I made a retaining wall with 3×2 and 2×2 interlocking with no cement.i put in drainage on one side and back filled over it this got rid of the slope,it would be ideal for your landscaping.no fence required.the wall is 20 slabs high,all free on gumtree.
The word you were looking for was "Riddle". These can be made with either 5' lengths of 1/2" steel bar welded to a square frame or if the stone to be riddled is fairly light stuff you can use " Piano Wire" as it used to be called. We used to call it a "Banjo". The frame needs to lean at about 60 degrees. The spacing of the bars or wire determines how fine the bits are that pass through. I used to use 1/2 chicken wire on a wooden frame for sifting sand. Also I think you will come to regret leaving the edge of the lawn as a bank. I'v seen lots of Railway sleepers around the farm and these would make a good retaining wall. You could back fill with riddled concrete lumps for extra drainage against the sleepers.
A thought about the vegetation to plant on top of the "Ha ha" perhaps a rose bushes or a native Hawthorne type, or some type of native varieties of shrubbery that will develop a thick-it of sorts. You might contact your local University Agricultural department in helping you plan a thick-it.
Having a thicket would defeat the purpose of the haha, and that is to have a clear line of sight whilst still assuring that the livestock are contained.
Aha, found a definition of HaHa on the National Trust: A ha-ha is a type of sunken fence that was commonly used in landscaped gardens and parks in the 18th century. The point of the ha-ha was to give the viewer of the garden the illusion of an unbroken, continuous rolling lawn, whilst providing boundaries for grazing livestock.
Capability Brown famous for using Ha ha in his landscapes. Take a visit to NT Berrington in Herefordshire. Capability Brown’s last project before his death. Also worth taking a look at the curved section in the gardens too
@@Woodchip1865 Oh, I wish I could do that visit to see the Brown landscape but I'm in Mississippi and cannot travel. The idea of a haha is really a clever one.
It's a ditch to keep livestock in / out that isn't visible from a distance. Get its name because as you walk across a field you can't see it until you come across it and say "Aha!"
Lo Tim, seen the thumbnail and i was sure you were extracting the urine. Thankfully you wern't. Forward thinkin,that's the name of the game. Keep up the good work. Later.
Mowing may be an issue, the water race outside our property is around the same gradient and around 100-150mtr long and an absolute b**** to keep tidy, so perhaps hessian with smaller size grasses planted into it or a hardcore slope (expensive)
Dont forget youll need a permit for your effluent discharge to a watercourse unless you can meet ALL the standard binding rules. Just a heads up dont want you falling foul (haha) of the rules.
I'd still build the haha but do a small amount of planting on top the prevented young children or something getting too close to the edge but didn't block your view therefore no livestock can get in your garden and Munch away on your plants, a soil shifter the same d&j projects have in their yard
I’m so confused why get the garden ready before completing groundwork’s for the house you literally have to so through that sub base and the bank for the soil pipes
Because while waiting for underfloor heating, insulation and timber frame to be delivered it was worth sorting out some levels before it became a winter mud bath. Needs some seed down so made sense to spend a day on it now and then it's got a year or two to settle yet not look like a building site.

We live near a Ha-Ha road and I don’t think I ever thought I’d see someone build one. Great updates btw.

Yes i think sedum could work well.
Just saw a ha-ha setup with Gabions and thought of y'all. They allow for necessary drainage and look nice.
No chickens were harmed during the making of this video.
Or buried 😂😂
New dumper needs to be called Jeremy after the man who found it for you!
We think that's a great idea! 😉
And now I have that song from O-Zone stuck in my head.😂
2’27" - it would appear that Maggie wanted to make her own contribution to the HaHa. 😉
wild flowers on the bank

First time I saw a haha i couldn't work it out. The were sheep on the other side and a tennis court. The illusion was perfect.
Snygg keps!!😍
How about "Muck" from Bob the builder. 😂 And "scoop" for the digger.
Its all looking good Tim. When is your new baby due? Great video 😊
Enjoying these update

My suggestion for the dumper is "Custard"
Maybe you should contact all the kings horses and all the kings men and see if they can put Humpty Dumpy back together again
Do the same as they do on some of the banks beside roads in the US plant day Lillies, the root systems hold the bank together, cheap, and looks good.

You could always sort you lawn out to satisfy the building inspectors. Then remove said fence 😂
Large cobble like slabs on the bank, from the field side it would look like a standard wall from a distance
@@OliverTwist-vv4xh 😂

Contest, how many time was Haha mentioned! Any underground water tank for irrigation/grey water use?
Re the brakes: give Eden a couple of spanners: I'm sure she'll fix it for you! 😊
grass bank is easiest.
How about Dumpledore for the dumper?
Tommy Tipper, Yellow Tip Road, Top Heavy Tipper 😂, Sir Tipsalot
Ahh poor you, cheers up mate, it never happen
Rubble dumper for the barn build
Barney rubble best at dumping flint and stone
Bless Maggie 😂
I would probably have some sort of low lying ground cover? Clover, thyme. Something like that so you don't have to mow it! Banks are a pain to mow
Definitely not for anything needing mowing. I’ll leave it to grass over winter to help stabilise but something low maintenance is always welcome here!
@@TheRestorationCouple Research low maintenance grass mixtures, fescues, bents etc., provide ground cover/stability and won't require cutting.
On that bank I’d just fill it with lavender
Gyoza (dumplings)
The ugly dumpling
The triple dump (drop, tip and dump - or something else that rhymes with hop)
Dumpster fire
ChonkyBigBarrow
how about herbie ???? loll what about nice steps down the bank in the middle
Lo Tim, seen the thumbnail and i was sure you were extracting the urine. Thankfully you wern't. Forward thinkin,that's the name of the game. Keep up the good work. Later.
Bank with natural stone and wild flowers and herbs.
Not sure if you were going levelish rather than flat so water runs off?
The name? PITA, prononounced Peter of couse... Its what you get after sitting in the seat of those machines all day!

My attempt at naming the new dumper , “dumpy muck dumpface”
If you dig your Haha deeper it becomes a hoho ! 😀
Sh1t shifter for the dumper . Where can I hire one of those pallet levellers 😅
Can we have farm update with animals please
Choose your bank covering wisely, its step so going to be very hard to mow.
Sorry to ask a daft question but what is the size and/or weight of your mini digger? 👍🏼
Think it’s 1.8t. Probably too small for the tasks we throw at it but it’s does a good job! 😂
plant a hedge at the bottom
I still don’t understand how are TH-cam channel is enough to fund all of this 🤷♀️
It doesn't unfortunately.
I like to think they called it a ha ha for wjen one had one tipple to many and falls off and everyone laughs at the person.
Mrs bucket good name?
Humptwo dumptwo.
So all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Palette and block? Just looked like leg day.
I'd still build the haha but do a small amount of planting on top the prevented young children or something getting too close to the edge but didn't block your view therefore no livestock can get in your garden and Munch away on your plants, a soil shifter the same d&j projects have in their yard
Alan Partridge was a farmer ?
Aha!
Dave the Dumper
Banana's
How about calling it the dump pal.
Tim, I'd like to give you a like but the like button is gone. How weird is that, like???? 🙄🙄
Tronald Dump
Oh BTW, a good name for the dumper is "Tippy"
Just realised the scaffolding has gone.
Humpty Dumpty is dead, long live Humpty Dumpty the second.
Yes at last they turned up to take it down. Was nice to clear the place ready for next stages.
I’m so confused why get the garden ready before completing groundwork’s for the house you literally have to so through that sub base and the bank for the soil pipes
Because while waiting for underfloor heating, insulation and timber frame to be delivered it was worth sorting out some levels before it became a winter mud bath. Needs some seed down so made sense to spend a day on it now and then it's got a year or two to settle yet not look like a building site.
