In fountains and stock tanks putting in some barley straw in mesh bundles helps keep the water clearer and the amount of algae down. It’s cheap and easy and really works but it must be barley straw. Although the pool is looking fantastic, during very hot , sunny times when algae growth is highest, they might suspend a mesh bale or two under the floating platforms. I don’t know why but it really works to keep the water naturally clear.
The aerial view shows a striking difference between the 2 pools! The organic pool water is very clear. Planted aquariums use the same concept to reduce water changes since the plants naturally filter the water from the fish waste. Ramshorn snails also reduce the amount of algae and decaying matter in planted tanks. It’s a fantastic natural method to maintain a healthy ecosystem for fish, plants and clean water! 🌱🐠💦
Julie, I know that everything growing in the pool even the little lizards is supposed to be good for you....but ya just can't convince me to swim in there. The plant Islands look beautiful, good job all. Love from NY
Love the progress on your pool project at Mapperton. My one concern is to do with a single celled amobea currently found in warm water bodies like lakes and pools .when it is swollowed while swimming .it has penetrated the brain and been fatal to those who have indested it. Due to the hot weather in England right now I think the conditions in the pool may not be safe for swimming. Check out the cases that have happened in the Southern U.S. Maybe a trip to the Dorset Coast may be still a cooling off option . Have the water tested for this and wait for cooler weather. Stay safe and thank you always for the content
I'm so excited for this EP . I'm thrilled with that you, your family, and all who work all around the Estate are sharing all the wonderful and healthy ideas with us in the world. Thank you for sharing your time and joy with us. I'm getting motivated. Yippee
I'm so so glad you're doing this naturally. It's a natural pool, making it into a chemical wasteland would have been really terrible! Now you're creating an ecosystem that will benefit the garden as a whole, rather than harm it. 💚
So very well done, Julie, Luke, and Mapperton crew. So lovely of all of you to work so hard to preserve all things Mapperton. I for one, appreciate and enjoy it very much 👍🇺🇲🤗
I didn't realize just how large the pool was. Those planters are pretty substantial but in the pool they look fairly small. But, bravo. Lots of progress.
Wonderful work you all put in Julie and crew. It looks amazing! David and Raymond have been just fantastic. They are so calm and reassuring to Julie and Luke. 👏🏻♥️🇺🇸
I'd eat my shorts if I'm wrong, but I really don't feel there are enough plants to filter the phosphates and nitrates from such a large volume of water. Even once the plants are fully grown on the islands. 🤷🏻♂️
It's amazing to see the transformation. The pool looks fabulous!! The planters are really very beautiful! Love Jasper's t-shirt design! It's wonderful to see David and Raymond! Learning about the plants is interesting.A floating kitchen garden sounds great.I look forward to seeing the pool plants grow and what what water testing shows Love from Vermont
I’d be listening to him about amoebas and protozoas… Naegleria fowleri - is known as the "brain-eating amoeba". It is microscopic and can get into the body through water, typically the nose when swimming in freshwater lakes or rivers. Children in Australia and the US thought to have contracted it through playing in tap water. Naegleria fowleri thrives in warm water so is not typically found in the UK but with the warming temperatures it may become more prevalent.
Going to be wonderful. Watched a movie about one gardener who built a small bit of the gardens of Versailles. Like watching Michelangelo paint in comparison with all the passion for their horticulture craft. I believe patience is the keyword here. Nature needs a boost just like the salamanders.😊💕👋🏼🇺🇸
Such amazing results, from such hard work! The pools and floating plants, are most certainly jewels 💙🌿💚 in the crown 👑, of your estate! Organic, earth friendly and ecologically sound, bravo! Congratulations Mapperton Estate and crew, well done!
So nice to see experts working and the project coming along bit by bit. One funny moment at 11:50 it translates stones to pounds and I still had no idea how much it was XD, had to google converter to kg. Thanks for sharing your work and good luck!
Hi y'all, I LOVE ❤️ Raymond.he is So gentile, humble, and Bloody smart..Love him. Cheers to Raymond for All he does on the estate. Great job..I will send plenty of alligators from The gulf coast of bama.. Can get some from NOLA, but they eat alot of gumbo.
Absolutely Beautiful! The garden is amazing - Loved the drone footage. Is the meditation circle gone, I saw it's mark on the grass but not the poles? I was thinking the heat would have affected the pool in some way but by the sounds of things it has only helped to speed up the transition to being an organic pool safe to swim in. Congratulations!!! Huge accomplishment to be very very proud of!
Did someone remove my comment about the floating insulation possibly leaching chemicals into the pool? It was just a concern of mine. What is the floating insulation made of? I mean if you are swimming in this pool. Being organically minded the designer has addressed this but you never really did say that the insulation wouldn't break down and would be non toxic.
So proud of you all. This..is the sort of input into nature, the sort of change I like to see the "upper class" work on. Put their money where their mouth is. Not begrudging your status, heavens no. I adore that you do make changes for the better...without preaching! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for doing this. I love watching the progress! Good Work! Hope someday to see this in person. Much love and care to you and your family. ❤ I learn so much from these videos.
Holes the size of the pot are cut through the insulation, mesh is put into the holes and the pots are place in. The roots penetrate through the mesh and are directly in contact with the water. It's explained in Part 1. This video is Part 2.
The pool looks really beautiful and much clearer but I would put a rowboat in it and not swim, I wouldn't want you to get sick Julie and your family with all the awful heatwave everywhere. Maybe a chlorinated small splash pool with an aged look somewhere tucked away.
Luke gave you followed through with your new year's resolution of doing cold water immersion therapy with Julie this summer? Also are you planning on making more rewilding videos? I hope everyone is having a lovely day💜🎣
They obviously don't want that; are working to preserve Mapperton's history and original features. The whole point of their work and channel. Something that appears to have gone right over your head, along with the other person here.
@@donnabaardsen5372 Nope. I know, knew what they are doing but a real pool would be good for the kids they have. Even the famous Biltmore Home and Gardens had a real pool back in the late fifties. It has since been turned into grass. Leveled it with the ground, made it grass. There might be a new one now about, because some caretakers house has been erected and attached to original. Would make sense to do a real pool. I saw her video swimming the nasty one under ground. Then she went in this one. So, you are wrong dear. I have been watching all along. Nothing went over my head but perhaps it did yours. Don't judge comments!
I agree with you Glenda Sabo. Sometimes there are things that must be modernized for safety. Back in those historic times they did not have options but fortunately we do. It would look beautiful with sparkling clean filtered water.
@@christmasjoy3887 And their kids and friends would love it. Not to mention weddings there with drinks around the pool, etc. Extra money to restore other things. They did modernize some already in the kitchen.
Here's more are you ready for Heaven? Have you ever lied, stolen used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? According to God's law, you're guilty. But wait, God loves you, he made a way out. God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please think about it. Repent/believe before the rapture, before the one world government. Jesus died for you,live for him. Love U
Julie with power tools 🤣. Sage advice from Raymond, “we’ve done the best we can”. Great job everyone 👍.
Yes! Thank you!
Raymond is such a kind calm fellow. You can’t help but like him right off.

With temperature above 100° Fahrenheit, I'm sure that they appreciate the pool at Mapperton!

Great to see Luke, Raymond, David and Julie!! The pond is looking fantastic!!

He has the Patience of a Saint,

I'm very happy YT recommended your channel. Subscribed👍
I like it when people are not shy about their favourite colour. Just a wild guess, but David might like yellow.
😂

So very well done, Julie, Luke, and Mapperton crew. So lovely of all of you to work so hard to preserve all things Mapperton. I for one, appreciate and enjoy it very much 👍🇺🇲🤗
I love the way the small flowers hang over the pool edge, almost touching the water. That pool is going to be spectacular.
I didn't realize just how large the pool was. Those planters are pretty substantial but in the pool they look fairly small. But, bravo. Lots of progress.
Hi Julie, I’ve been binge watching Ladies of London today. You haven’t aged one bit. 😀
thank you!
So happy your pool is coming to life! Now I would like to see lily pads in the fish pond pool.
Luke and Julie, how beautiful to see the installation of the islands.
Looking so refreshing and it seems like it's establishing quite the ecosystem!! Magnificent idea to be a showcase for natural "organic" pools...
Fantastic work, the gardens are a pure paradise, thank you for sharing I wish it does multiply in the world. 🌎🌍🌏
I can’t wait until the floating planters are mature.
Great improvements and great team effort! Learning a lot along the way. Keep us posted on how it’s going!
Wonderful work you all put in Julie and crew. It looks amazing! David and Raymond have been just fantastic. They are so calm and reassuring to Julie and Luke. 👏🏻♥️🇺🇸

Hi y'all,
I LOVE ❤️ Raymond.he is
So gentile, humble, and
Bloody smart..Love him.
Cheers to Raymond for
All he does on the estate.
Great job..I will send plenty of alligators from
The gulf coast of bama..
Can get some from NOLA,
but they eat alot of gumbo.
You know it's super hot in the UK, when Julie is in shorts and a tank.
Love the newt ramp! The pool is looking lovely - it's nice how the water is emerald green yet mostly clear.
Love Raymond! Beautifully done! Lots of hard work too! ❤️😊
Thank you for sharing this with everybody
How you jump in that freezing water amazes me! I love your “Floating Gardens of Mapperton”!
Natural pools are popular in Australia-healthy
i just love all the sweet little flowers that grow out of the rocks ....so pretty
The pool is looking great. Congrats 🎉🎊🍾

I’m so glad I found your channel!! And thank you for putting the episode’s number so I can play catch up and see those I’ve missed!
You're so welcome!
Love it!! Now, Julie, are there any resident ghosts hanging around!? And if there are, please do a video on that !!!
Coming soon!
What a great idea as we start to move into the autumn/fall season. Who does love an English ghost?

The pool is really looking wonderful!!
You all have done a great job on it.
Thank you so much for showing what can be done to clean up a pond nature's way, or natural way. Something that can and should be copied.
Loved this episode! The pool looks wonderful and Luke’s hair is so calm compared to David’s.
You should put water cress in Some, that plant is delicious!!!! The planters look fab.
Thank you so much for doing this. I love watching the progress! Good Work! Hope someday to see this in person. Much love and care to you and your family. ❤ I learn so much from these videos.
Looks great so far and such a nice colaberative effort.
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this video. So excited to see how it all turned out. To borrow one of your favorite words…it’s brilliant. Love it all.
Yay! Thank you!
The pool looks great. Excellent work.
Galangal is used in some countries as substitute for cinnamon. Makes a great scent for incense. ❤
Racine, WI USA
I have fountains & ponds on my estate......but I would NEVER swim in them! A chlorinated swimming pool for me!
We have alligator snapping turtles here in southeast Missouri.
Hello dear how are you doing?
I look forward to seeing the pool in 6 months. Are you going to do the same in the fish pond?
Gosh, I remember when you first "restored" the pool and stated the colds swimming, now we've come to this, it's crazy...
The pool looks great!
That’s quite the hair do David!🙂
Hello! What are the flowers growing alongside of the pool? Thanks in advance 😊
The pool is looking good bet you enjoyed it during your heat wave. It’s hot and humid in Michigan enjoying the lake lol. 🇺🇸
Yes, and I'm loving the heat here in Hart, MI. Where are you? I absolutely love this channel, Julie & Luke, and all things Mapperton.
@@donnabaardsen5372 lake house is in Jackson Michigan nice 45 minute drive from Southeast
Washtenaw County. 😁
Adore Raymond 💖🙏💖
Everything looks so stunning❤️👍🏻
Thank you! 🤗
How do the roots reach the water . Doesnt the insulation block the roots?
Holes the size of the pot are cut through the insulation, mesh is put into the holes and the pots are place in. The roots penetrate through the mesh and are directly in contact with the water. It's explained in Part 1. This video is Part 2.
@@beautifully_wonderfullymade right but there is wood over the whole bottom… I watched both videos 🤷🏻♀️
IDEA! you might want to sell the swim with dragons teeshirt in your gift shop...
i would love to see a fish on your pond,if thats okey 👌
This was just amazing
Like and the Pool Guy look like they could be related. Also, the Pool Guy sounds like Johnny Depp vaguely when Johnny does his British accent.. Lol
David, the organic pool guy, reminds me of a Crispin Glover character. But Crispin always has interesting characters.
Yes, all the men in this episode seem to be competing for "floppiest hair"... I love it!
Really enjoying your content, also your lovely naturalness’s.
wow just brilliant
I think Luke met his hair match! 😆
That's so neat! Sort of like being in a lake as a kid. A little algae on the rocks at the bottom but pretty clear water. Sounds lovely!
A marvelous pool, it will only get better from here!
The pool looks really beautiful and much clearer but I would put a rowboat in it and not swim, I wouldn't want you to get sick Julie and your family with all the awful heatwave everywhere. Maybe a chlorinated small splash pool with an aged look somewhere tucked away.
takes 10 people to make a decision, and even then that decision is just an opinion...ayyy would hate to work there with all those chiefs!
Luke gave you followed through with your new year's resolution of doing cold water immersion therapy with Julie this summer? Also are you planning on making more rewilding videos? I hope everyone is having a lovely day💜🎣
Yes, we will be making more rewilding videos very soon as the beavers are about to arrive
Luke is going in the pool? This I have to see! Looking better but no green water and newts for me🦎🦎.I'm too squeamish! Ha Ha!
Such a fascinating idea. Excited for the next video.
More to come!
Does anyone know if there is a coupon code for Le Chameaux? My son is headed to college in Pennsylvania and I decided he needs these boots!
Should be MAPJUL10 until end of July 😀
@@MappertonLive Thank you very much! Got them ordered.
Now you need to work on adding plants to the fish pool.
Luke, you are looking very fit lately 👍🏼
Wonderful 💐
Hello from Texas.
Fellow Texan here too! That pool would definitely be appreciated here today!!
@@GrannyCompton yes!!! It’s hot.
As luke makes a leak in the pool🤣
Will Luke finally take a swim in the pool?😀
Could you just make floating kitchen gardens?
Oh what an idea!
I’m from Arizona
Beautiful
Hydroponic !! Food !!
Hello dear how are you doing?
Julie, we want to see you eat some seaweed 🤣
The expert: "For safety reasons, you don't want to be swimming in water that's opaque like that." Me: If I see a pretty lake, I swim.
Haven't died yet, but if I do, yes I will spend eternity haunting the lake and scaring people for fun. After-life goals and all.
Bravo
Honestly, your "pool guy" looks a lot like "Doc Brown."
So , basically, you have a pond , not a pool in the modern sense. Either way, I hope it’s want you wanted !
I think it's interesting and lovely but it's not anything I would ever swim in, sorry.
Holyquran is in arabic so start learning arabic writings
Just turn the swimming pool into a modern day pool, so folks can swim freely in it.
