Planting Our First Silvopasture Tree Rows

This video covers our work from Feb 2024 to Apr 2024 planting 431 trees with the goal of developing "silvopasture", a incorporation of trees into livestock pastures. Our goals included adding shade and tree fodder to our pastures, designing the tree rows such that they double as livestock fencing, and to include the planting of fruit and nut trees for eventual food production.

Worm Composting Toilet System - December 2023 (Update 2)

Another update on our vermicompsting toilet system; at this point the system has been active for 3.5 years. Main new news from this year: 1) Needed to clean out and maintain more clearance at the drainage of the greywater. 2) Alternating between the two waste tanks quarterly is resulting in fantastic performance and plenty of processing power from the worms to serve our family of 5.

    I think creating a dropdown for the pipe along with an L bend fitting should help with the clogging. The bottom of the dropdown area would be gravel bedding then soil on top. If you plant wetlands plants that would filter the ground faster as well.

    I have found that the best deer deterrent is a Winchester, even if you are not too skilled with your Winchester it sure makes a point like no other deer deterrent and the bigger the better, Remington will also work. Lead poisoning is a terrible thing. Since I live near others, I use only chicken wire, barb wire, and my latest fishing line fence, and I have no landscaping left and will not reinvest in that again! The deer love my cucumber leaves, and Iam not too happy about that ether.

    Great video. Planning a similar install. I saw a different video where guy make his hearth with hardiboard like you, then pavers, then slate tile. Your approach (without the pavers) seems easier, but do you have any thoughts on that? Other than watch you-tube videos, how does one know how a hearth should be designed? Thanks for these wonderful videos you've created.

    1. A flushing toilet makes compost too wet. 2. Worms don't need much water as long as they are fed plant matter 3. Worms don't eat poo. 4. Those wood chips are too big to rot quickly 5. It is going to be hard to empty those containers. Take out the flushing toilet, replace it with a bucket, use saw dust and make a raised compost pile for it all. Build a seperate worm farm for food waste.

      I agree with some of your points and disagree with others. I've filmed two follow-up episodes in the years since that first installation video. If you want to take the time to watch them and then have a discussion, I'd be interested. I'm leery, though, based on your comment that "worms don't eat poo". That's just false, and if you think that's true, there's really nothing else to discuss around this system. I'm happy to engage in constructive criticism and discussion, but I can't tell if you're in that category.
