Headcutting Induced Creek Incision & Dehydration Of Floodplain
Video of a large headcut migrating up-watershed following an existing creek line. The headcut has led to a 3-4' drop in water levels within the creek line, accelerating dehydration of the banks (former floodplain) and is stimulating type conversion of the former riparian edge vegetation into more brambles.
This will need to be fixed with a zuni bowl or some sort of rock rundown built into/around the tree roots in order to prevent further migration of the headcut up the watershed and the soil erosion, incision and dehydration of the broader landscape that will accompany it.

Pallet-Framed Slip Straw Bath House Build
Просмотров 7811 месяцев назад
And old video (shot in 2017) of our old pallet-framed slip straw bathhouse while it was still under construction. Ultimately, the bathhouse would have a sink that drained to a series of small greywater ponds in front of the structure, and the shower cell drained to a separate greywater basin through a biological gravel drain in the floor. We never got to full finish the structure before we had ...
Automated Misting Bed for Propagating Plant Cuttings

This is an old video (shot in 2015) of a simple automated mist bed system I built during my time at Casitas Valley Farm that I used for rooting herbaceous, softwood and even some hardwood cuttings for Honey Badger Nursery.

    Using Google Maps to view a ranch property for example in satellite mode may appear as the place is rather small compared to actually being there live in person as boots on the ground one will see the property is really more than ten times bigger than thought. Man, that is a lot of land. Computer screen just shows a little image only.

      Hi Joel, You might check this video - ruclips.net/video/khO68lkYZXo/видео.html - they're running sheep in an established orchard, so its a decent approximation for running sheep amidst regularly spaced trees. I'd prefer to run them with a single hot wire vs. moving an electronet, especially if running more animals than pictured in the video.

    the smaller stuff is pyrolyzed quickly anyway... if you care about getting good, full pyrolization without much ash, in an open pit, the key is to have batched of mostly uniform diameter of the same kind of wood... obviously you will get inconsistent results if you add batched of mixed diameter and different woods, breaking up smaller branches, to lower the oxygen's area of attack for actually burning because we dont want it to burn.

      all about input output percentage, at some point it's just not economic to chop everything it up to equal size, especially if you have abundance of wood. unburnt pieces can be put aside and burned another time.

    if you use such small diameter pieces in your later batches of wood, break them appart better so they cuddle closer and dont let oxygen penetrate as well, you got a very white pit at the end, much of that pinky diameter suff just turned into ash completely.

    I guess it depends on what you see. A lot of people might not see this as a problem, a new landowner might say, “Great, I’ve got a small creek on the property as well”, and not even consider it as an errosion issue, but possibly as a water source instead or as a potential future dam site, which probably wouldn’t be a bad idea either, you could bell out and dam a badly eroded area and use some of that material to help stabilise the spillway & eroded area beyond that, & use any tree’s or organic material that has to be removed for either making Biochar, or pushing into some of the eroded area downstream and filling over with top soils from the dam building process for planting suitable growth into and further stabilising. If I was preparing to buy (or owned) an unimproved property such as this without any other or little infrastructure on it, I would probably consider this idea as I believe water is always a number 1 necessity.

  • @evil17
    @evil17 7 месяцев назад

    Looks like a good solution for larger properties who need to clear out bigger area’s & a quick way to amass a reasonable return of biochar. I have several large heaps of wattle I cleared last year with a backhoe on a 40 acre property, I imagine I could just let the heaps burn down to a point and quench the fires out prematurely with my 1000 ltr fire fighter to obtain a similar result and aquire a heap of biochar this way for garden & agricultural use, pick out any large pieces that didn’t burn enough and put them on the next heap for a re-burn, does that sound reasonable?

    • @thesovereignhomestead
      @thesovereignhomestead 7 месяцев назад

      That would definitely work - look up top lit burn piles as a way to maximize your char retention. I've got a video detailing a small top-lit burn pile here: ruclips.net/video/tpxOf77Es0A/видео.html We've since evolved and now light the entire perimeter and top of the pile at the same time - turns the pile into an oven that just bakes everything in the middle, and the burn goes very quickly and evenly. Good luck with your forest clearing and char making!
