I use PEX buried about 6 inch in the ground to run water for semi permanent installations much cheaper than hose i found

Is there a reason why you aren't back at the big box store getting more hose and pipe fittings for a ram pump system?

3-4 days training. 3-7 days and the lot will be ready.

I would buy land with a cemetery in Texas because you do not have to pay property tax.

I bet you slept good each night, all that work you done.

Short-term fix to fill the tank, instead of running barrels up, stretch a hose from the hose bib to the bottom of the hose at the blueberry patch and push the water up the hill with the well pump, assuming it has the pressure to list the water that high. Not an ideal solution, but if the IBC tote is about 330 gallons, you would only need to fill it about every 20 days if you are watering 16 gallons a day.

Why can't you add a Ram pump from your creek to your tank?

Now you have a new hose running from ibc to plants, could you put a junction in and use the same hose to backfill the tank from the house once in a while?

Troy, great video. I was thinking. I know you have chickens near your house to fertilize the garden now, but do you still have that huge lot of all different kinds of breeds? I just recently came across that video with you and Kelly talking about your favorite chicken breeds. I know it's an older video, so I was wondering if you still have all those chickens and if so, do you still have the same breeds of chicken? Take care and God Bless.

Nice video Troy. So what if you got a solar well pump 250 foot lift. Some solar panels to run it and 1,000 feet of 3/4 inch poly pipe and ran from your creek up behind the garden past the chickens to the tank, no road crossing. Maybe tea off and water the coop.I am guessing the tank would be running over. I seen other videos where this was done. Not sure about prices.

Troy, I would go buy some blueberries!

Thanks for sharing the video. It's so cool. ❤❤

Would you be able to control this off site, such as from work or from a conference?

Water Catchment could be done real cheap - Use tarps and bungees to your trees and have them come down to a V to your tank. If you have heavy dew like we do, you could fill them up rain or not. Direct it into the tanks or totes.

Looks you have well spaced, uphill trees to suspend tarps. Maybe catch rain in tarps/barrels uphill and hose those into the IBC? -KJ

Looks great but I am still concerned about wracking of the pergola frame. It can move laterally in and out from both walls with no resistance to oppose the motion. Since you have the side wall of the existing porch which is framed with siding, presumably you could put a small ledger there and maybe build an open ladder trellis over the open space and attach to the top side rail of the pergola. Thus something will be holding the unit from moving left and right and perhaps this strength in that corner would keep in and out movement minimized. While not aesthetically pleasing, some sore of cross bracing may be needed in each of the sections.

Wow Troy, what a wonderful surprise! You and Kelly will enjoy that for years and years. Thanks for bringing us on this adventure with you. While all of us who did NOT marry YOU become more and more jealous ;) You are a lucky girl Kelly. God Bless you both.

Its a shame you can’t program the app to shut the hose off after a set amount of gallons instead of time that way if you blow a hose it would shut off.

2 acres is a nightmare to maintain even for a lower end rich man(few million) that has a few pieces of machinery and a few hired hands from time to time,43 acres is gonna be hell on earth unless you have lots of time and lots of big equipment,just think of one big winter storm and the havoc that can cause on your long driveway,for $10k can't go wrong really but I think people underestimate just what goes into maintenance of a property that big,and liability

Gravity? Why use words who's meaning you do not know or understand? You think the mass of Earth is attracting the mass of the water but that's not valid science. What is happening is a simple display of buoyancy and density. We know the claim of mass attracting mass does not work because gas is physical matter that does not obey that silly notion. Gas always expands in all directions due to entropy, thats the 2nd law of thermodynamics. This is the Reason it was taught that Newton was Overthrown when Einstein came out with his also fraudulent idea of gravity. Study it. There is zero scientific cause and effect relationship established for either Newton or Einstein. In fact Newton himself wanted nothing to do with the idea as he told Richard Bentley. You can look that letter up. Of course No one has ever observed Einsteins made up by a man's mathamatical thought experiment called bendy spacetime.

How about punching a hole 20-30 feet in the ground. Install pvc pipe into gravel right next to blueberries. Build a 4-5 high platform for your tank. Use solar panel and pump to transfer water out of ground. Assuming that's where your water table is located. No tractor, no ground erosion hauling water up the hill.

I'm surprised you don't have a natural spring close by to keep the tank filled.

We did something similar and used pecks tubing ended up being quite a bit cheaper than a lot of garden hoses?

Troy you are slowly being not the pig guy any more. Do you have any pigs left?

Look around on the hills above your blueberry’s There might be a spring underground that you could tap into

Nice going brotha!! So dry here in NC!

What if u put a large tarp on the ground uphill from the blueberries? Than water would run down the hill to the blueberry area? Use the sloped gound to catch water. Or use some shallow trenches to direct water to blueberries

Great to see old mixed with new-use what ya got, glad to see it come together

Thats a steep hill...

Rummage sales and garage sale are great places to buy cheap hoses!

Have u seen these upside down umbrella like things people put on top of tote to catch water? Tote water collectors….

That'll be fantastic for those blueberries!!!!! One of our favorite siblings 😉 had planted 700 blueberry bushes and requested shredded newspaper from local paper. They brought them mountains of it to mulch around the plants. They even put an article/pics about what she was doing. Helped so much with moisture and keeping sun from dehydrating top of soil. They like their feet covered. That was YEARS ago they were planted and they still have the biggest, dusty blue, sweetest, best tasting blueberries I've ever tasted. We told her we were having an issue with the birds and she said, oh yeah, you have to plant enough for them too. 🤣 I guess 700 was enough? They lost about 1/3 of them as someone in the family didn't listen to how to prune them. He pruned them SEVERELY. Very sad. But she still has plenty today. I'd love to have a small orchard of blueberries. And different apples..... pears.. etc. GREAT job, Troy!! They're gonna be wonderful! 💌

Hi, Troy. If I am correct you still have a bent axle around so I would make a trailer for the tote and use it to tow a full tote of water up there.

730 degrees F? toasty blueberries!!!

I love the sound of your tractor. My tractor (TYM), I love it but it doesn't have nearly as cool a diesel engine sound.

Thank you, Kelly; please make more like this.

4 gpm is good enough to

Looks good. Nice you didn't use any of the vinyl planks. The promise of looking good and maintenance free is just not real. They sag, they are super hot in the sun, very slick when wet and crack relatively easy if you drop something on them when frozen. At one time I was going to get it and then looking at it in the store, and reading reviews convinced me otherwise. There is no grain strength to it.

I am presently cleaning a 140 acre tropical farm with 40 head of cattle. I agree with a similar philosophy to yours but I bought a three point 7" chipper and 48" wood splitter. You could chip the small trees and split the larger and chip them too. The objective? Compost. It has worked fantastically for me. The cows love it

Considering it's a nepotism sale, the cheap price is not a surprise

everyone I know who rides have had nothing but problems out of Polaris and Can Am. I've heard nothing but good things about the Honda

If you only have one little spot that might be alright, but it looks time consuming for many large areas. For years I've just hung poly (electric fence) braid from the hot wire and it's done in minutes no spacers needed because you tie them tight ( you could use spaces if you wanted to but I find no need). You could also tie bolts for weight if you want them nice and straight, but they eventually straighten out.

Pinyons are amazing! Why he would say, not so great?!?

Yes, sir, I did.I would like to see more videos like this.Very interesting and educational.

Thank you, I really enjoyed your video. That gentleman's got some nice land there and a lot of it.

1 # pressure per 2.31' of drop to be exact.

Very nice place

Pressure treating on timbers doesn’t seem to penetrate all the way through the timber. Thus when putting the cut end of a timber in the ground one has untreated wood in ground contact, which can lead to failure. I always put the uncut, treated end of a post in the hole so all wood in contact with soil has been treated.

How many Troys does it take to screw in a lightbulb........😊

Beautiful deck Troy I know you are going to need a vacation. Congratulations on your anniversary
