Water Resilience! Micro ponds, holding basins, silt traps and more...

You guys have the BEST gardening channel! I use and adapt so much of what you teach in my own small garden. So inspiring! Thank you

I have dug about 6 microponds so far and love how they attract wildlife. Tadpoles, dragonfly larvae, frogs, salamanders. I made them as a water source for my garden and orchard but they became something better.

We haven't got any rain here in Denmark for many weeks, we have kind of same climate as you. Hot and long summers days, cold and short winters days. Zone 6-7. All the corn, wheat, potato agriculture harvest this year seams to go bad to worst in my country. No fire allowed already in many regions, because every thing is dry, and high risk getting out of control. Summer only really just started here in June. And properly keep going for 2-3 mouth, and rainy season first really kicks in Okt/Nov normally. I think it calls for more permaculture/food forrest solutions, and generally a shift to more perennials food sources. Thanks for inspiring for more and betterwater capture solutions.

Your rainwater system has inspired me to do something similar in my yard. It's the third year of drought in Minnesota and I'm tired of seeding grass every year that just dies. I'm slowly learning how to save rain water, grow some of my own herbs and food. Your channel gives out great advice and shows everything you're doing. Thank you for producing and sharing. I'm taking notes.

We finally received a decent amount of rain today in Northeast AL! Such a dry spring. Your human scale earth works videos have inspired me for years. My default now is to start small and take the iterative approach rather than rush head long into a project. Thanks for what you do!

Good planning, and good digging! I have to think more about this on my little acre. It was so soggy this winter and spring, and so dry now. It's hard to know how to plant into this! The good news is we have had a little rain, too, today. Hallelujah!

Trying to get my homestead as amazing as yours. ive integrated many of your systemsover the years to help my homestead become more independent

You mention that the nearby field has no well or roofline to catch water , I,m wondering if a ground cloth or tarp could suffice . One could still use a 12v water pump to transfer water into an ICB . Just a thought .

I like how you're husbanding your land! It's fun to watch the progress. Love your channel!

I love seeing your wonderful efforts, they are a great inspiration! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Never disappointed with your videos. Also just want to say your voice is as calming and welcome as the gentle waves of Lake Huron. Thanks

OMG look how fast your hair is growing 💗 sliver fox 😜

Thank you for sharing! Water capture is so important and it's nice to see solutions that are achievable by hand and/or machine.

What have you found to be the cheapest way to get your IBC tanks?

You can also use your truck battery with an inverter. That's what I do when I have an IBC tote in the bed and need to refill a neighbors tank or water beds directly from the truck. Haven't had the battery drop more than 0.1 amp during the unloading of a 275gal tote, even with the truck off. J

Playing with water - probably the most fun any kid or adult man can have!

A Constellation of Ponds! Wonderful to have that pond water for the field down the way! That's a game changer.

Much respect!

Great content sir. I am jealous of your hair.

That was very helpful! Thank you! May His Bountiful blessings be upon your land!!!
