Looking forward to future content. So far everything you do has been interesting to me 👍.
Enjoyed the video, I appreciate your example of approaching this project in such a responsible manner, looking forward to the next segment, take care and happy new year
Glad you enjoyed it and happy new year to you as well!
Instead of carting organic material away, might be worth looking at a mulcher for the PTO on the tractor. Will help get things growing again :)
Perfect time to build swales to catch water.
Already on it! Directing water around and away from the buildings. Thx for the comment.
@@LetsOverthinkThis Good! There are many species of acacia, other shade trees that could act to build soils up for later planting of food crops for your homestead.
Bill Mollison wrote a book, years ago: PERMACULTURE- A designer's manual- many fascinating details on how to farm in the desert.
Wheres the next video?
Why would you haul off the organic matter? Wouldn't it be beneficial to leave it there?
Maybe they just dumped it elsewhere on the property.
It could act as a bulking agent/ moisture source for swales/ berms on contour( covered by soil nearby) for water capture when it does rain.
@@williamevans6522 I would have assumed they did if the video had not told us they didn't.
@@diederikvandedijk Seems like a waste if they did. I don't know how many acres owner had. It looked pretty wide open and desert land can be pretty cheap.
The surrounding hills could provide a lot of water for catchment and recharge of groundwater aquafir.
@@williamevans6522 great, thanks
They hauled it away 😢
longer video.
LOL, when I make em long, people stop watching before the end. Hard to please everyone! But glad you want more!
Pronounced as scar not scare...
Noted!
Well done. Very. Costing you a s-load of money. But. Follow in Mr. André Rieu's footsteps. After perfection. Compete against yourself!
Suggestion. Chip the organic matter and spread on the same site.
RSA.
Or bury it in contour berms to catch surrounding rainwater runoff- when it does occur.
C'mon Super El Nino!
What would happen if you didn’t compact the soil where you are going to build?
@@tom99790 slab cracks, settling which could result in movement in the building.
Doors windows not closing properly, cracks in the building or worse.
Yes. Absolutely. Seems the funds are available. Consentrated composting there in a drier climate will be a very good idea.@@williamevans6522
Why are you not saving all the vegetation
It's not that much but what should I have done with it?
