I am Rossy from Indonesia. Your TH-cam very is useful, helpful and has great content, thank
Happy to hear that! Thanks
Improve the stability of your pond by digging circular shaped ones . It virtually last for eternity on like the square ponds which tends to cave in whenever it holds water . Just a little physics
It has been a long time I missed a lot on this channel but very happy about how the channel is growing and how the farm is expending, keep going brother all the best what ever comes your way keep going
Thank you!!!
Wow Fred!! Congratulations. You've done a great job and am so happy for you. Keep it up, my Brother.
Thank you brother!
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial You are very welcome. I enjoy watching your episodes and I encourage other viewers to learn more from you.
Needs grading and erosion control while vegetation regrows. The canals and pits may fill quickly with mud and sediment during the first heavy rains. Gradual slope and vegetation will help slow runoff, use hay or straw to stabilize the site until grasses or cover crops can be reestablished.
Is that why he is stressing the bakira grass? Is the grass meant to be planted in the slope or at the border?
So excited to see this new project come to live!
Fred you are too much. Very proud of you. keep it up.
Thank you Sir!
Are boreholes a feasible way to provide water on a large farm? Are the dams able to keep water the whole year?
I have same question ⁉️ but I can answer you on borehole, I have one in my farm 120 meters deep, it can only irrigate 3 acres, so not feasible for a large land, probably on vegetables
Amazing 🤩
Good job
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently dig a pond as well.
Wow nice one I love this.
Thanks
Great job and the brachiaria grass is also looking very fresh
I know right??
Well done Fred
Thank you
From NEPAL 🇳🇵🇳🇵❤
10 feet deep with vertical walls is a death pit for anyone or any animal that falls in it. It is not safe at all. Even the banks will collapse over time. Google ponds/dams and you will see that there is NO steep banks. I really fear this although the need is necessary but the construction is primitive. Another farm channel "Value Farm" lost a boy who went swimming in on such ponds and got stuck in mud and drowned with his friends around who could swim but couldn't save in because of the nature of which the pond was built. We can't only think water and forget our safety. You will have people and animals here. SAFETY FIRST MY BROTHER.
Good job Fred👌
However think of health and safety. Kids, adults or even animals can be killed by curiosity or accidents in those death traps. A good thing can quickly turn out to be a weight on your shoulders and conscience.
Suggestion:
make the edges slanted so that if an animal or person accidentally falls into the dams they have a chance of crawling out.
Remove the heaps of excavated soil from the perimeters of the dams.
I am not really concerned by the number of dams on the property as this will help in greening the area by trapping rain water.
Otherwise well done and thanks for the messages yesterday.
Planning to do the same in EA💪🏾
Will definitely fence or something later
Inspired 😊
Feet
Wooow well done bro
Thank you
Hey Fred!! you could create settling pond for the meddy water
May the Almighty bless your efforts.
Thank you
Good job 👌
Thanks brother
All we have to say is thank you.
Pleasure is mine 🙏🏾
very encouraging man
Thanks
Pls kindly put safety measures(fencing) around these ponds. They can be death traps when they r filled with water.
I agree!!!
I'm happpppyyyy
Please keep on giving us your project to the last
Will do
Have to watch
Hello Mr fred it's good idea
Yes, thank you
Congratulations brother am so proud of your work all the best am about to start so this is encouraging
Thank you!!!
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial do you have a link of how you cleared the land am starting my little farm in kenya it’s a virgin land
Great work Mr Fred, Good way to harvest rain water, love the idea
Thanks for sharing this with us 😊💗💗🎉🎉👏👏🤗 Ayikooo 👍
Please how is the burnt brakirha doing
Thank you! You are always welcome
U can use shade net green net or even jute bag dipped I cement grout use as liner....apply a grout layer after fixing
Thanks
Please Mr Fred, plast the gutter to avoid running water causing erosion
That dam could serve a dual purpose. Fish pond and water dam .When pumping Water from it to water your plants or feed your animals, make sure your pumping machine has Hydraulic pump Strainer to prevent any fish including fingerlings to be sucked Into the strainer.
I agree!!!
Ayekooooo bro
Thank you
Thanks Fred very effective. I'm about to start a goat/sheep farm in my village in Kenya and I'd like to make a pond to irrigate the pasture ( brachiaria, Alfa Alfa and sugar graze). How's the fish pond doing 5 months later?
Wow that’s an interesting plan. How far with that?
Oh the pond is doing awesome
Please try to take the sand round the pond and so that erosion will not keep the sand into the dam.... Protect it so noo man can drawn up in it....
May I ask why the walls are vertical (at 90 degrees incline) instead of sloped?
I don’t really have a reason. Per my research this is the best way.
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial it's the worst thing to do my brother. You are setting yourself for a catastrophe. It is just not safe for anyone at anytime. How can u climb out if u fell in it full of water? It will have 2-3 feet of clay mud at the bottom. What will someone grab onto? Can you animals climb out? It's not safe
What's the best way to get water from a river which is about 80m away from the farm and below and the farm is on the upper side
soo you going to cement inside, ok i see the ideas
Any updates on the burnt Brachiaria? With the onset of rains in the region, am trusting they will bounce back soon and vigorously. Cheers.
Yes will update you soon on the progress
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial Look forward to updates to furnish myself with needed information.
An you an update on current situation on these dams?
Okay
Dream big.... Am after ur dreams to create my
Haahaaa good
What dept of Reservoir will serve one Hectare of Land throughout the dry season?
Hi Fred, how did this project go? did you make any video to show how it turned out?
Will give you update on it soon 💪🏾
Why not create a one big dam instead of 17 and must i put pond liner to prevent the water from sipping?
Because of the topography of the land and where the water paths are
I guess you have some gold metal detector to detect some gold on this beautiful land? I can see gold lol 👍🏾
Ahahaha really! Unfortunately I dont
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial give it a try brother Fred.
Fred why do u choose pond over bore hole?
This was just a trial not for commercial so mainly the goal was to learn
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial thanks a million fred for taking all the risk for the love of Afrika.
But pls Update us on how the pond works for u
How much does an acre piece of land cost over there?
I got mine around $200
Thank you for your video, very inspiring =) Im planning to go back to Kenya and get into agriculture but the Area Is dry so Im wondering if I will be able to run a avocado farm if I build ponds like yours and install waterpumps to it. btw I tried to add you on wahtsapp but it said that the number had no WhatsApp.
Nice one 👌
But please respond to the WhatsApp message
Your team doesn't respond to Whatsapp messages please.
We are on it bro
