    Can't wait to see how the rocket mass heater and floor are coming along. This seriously is a channel I look forward watching throughout the week. Thank you and your wife. The snow, grey skies, and cold weather up here in chicago are the worst.

    For all metric people😁 you also have to convert the gallons into liters because you don't calculate with gallons😄

      1 gallon = 3,78541 liter
      and the square feet we have to convert too.

    I'm into preparedness, water is so important , I live in a rain forest. I could never see myself living in a desert 🏜. I'm 100% on rain water, but nobody would know because it's all on tap, I can store up to 13,500, but all in cisterns, from there it goes through minimal filtration, and I filter all my drinking water with Berkey filters, but it practically rains here all the time, I get over 150 inches of rain every year, good luck on your rain harvesting.

    • @GrowTreeOrganics

      Definitely a different scenario with the rain, so we'll need to be extra prepared here. Shooting for maybe a years worth if water storage for times like this, 6 months and no rain or snow, until now.✌🏾🌧

    Can you calculate how much evaporation you'll have with such shallow basins? How long is the vinyl sheeting rated to last in such dry sunny conditions?

    • @GrowTreeOrganics
      @GrowTreeOrganics  Час назад

      That would depend on various factors, like weather conditions, how much moisture accumulated in the soil, and so on. We're laying mulch and such. I'll have the video series coming soon going over all that. Currently working on a few videos!✌🏾

    It'd be mighty neighborly of you to box up some of that snow and send it to Shaun over at Dustups.

    • @GrowTreeOrganics

      I'll be sure to plastic wrap it, so at the least it'll be a soggy cardboard box, perfect for mulching, or the taco for the prickly pears!😅✌🏾

    I feel like its tough to make it on harvested water alone in AZ. We get long periods of droughts in phoenix, a well and pump is so crucial to growing trees fast, ur build looks amazing tho great job

    • @GrowTreeOrganics
      @GrowTreeOrganics  Час назад +1

      Depends on our mindsets and efficiency with water usage. Look at the native cultures that thrived here before, their farming practices, etc.
      We can do calculations, along with modern technology, sadly plastic/ Petroleum products are of great benefit for that in this case. We sit on 10 acres so our calculations show we can potentially harvest 4.5 million gallons of water per year!✌🏾

    Looks like you used pond liner and not HDPE type on your roof. If so, I worry it’ll dry out and crack. I have 50 mil HDPE in full sun in florida thats still flexible and in 1 piece after 20 years

    • @GrowTreeOrganics
      @GrowTreeOrganics  Час назад

      That'll be a first layer, so a few more layers of other material including the 50ml rubber liner. This was to at least protect everything!✌🏾
