- My Dream Smallholding: The first of the IBC tanks.
Hey! Welcome back to another episode everyone. If you're a returning viewer, thank you so much for the support! If you're new, welcome and good luck haha.
In this episode, let's be honest, there’s not much going on… I bring my first of 6 IBC tanks onsite, these are now used for sheep paddock water troughs and rain water capture. I’m also helping one of my girls, Fat White, by getting a big mud pile out from her foot.
I’ve decided to not upload a few videos prior to this, I found they were just too wishy washy (yes even more so than this episode!) I have, obviously, been planting a load of native hedgerow, which you can see in parts of this video. Around 500 natives at this point of filming.
I think Ill put up 3/4 more videos, then Ill catch up to real time.
I appreciate all of you, thank you so much for tuning in. Please give my accounts a look and follow, if you like them. every little helps.

Hey folks, thanks for your time. I really appreciate it ❤. It's not the most productive episode and sorry for the motion sickness and sound levels on this one 😂. I've decided to skip a few edits before this video too. Planting up to this point, is around 500 native trees 🌳 🎉. That's what all the wool is protecting on the field and fence 😊. Hopefully get another video up in the next few days for you. Much love.
We just found you and watched all your videos, enjoyed them all. Thank you, looking forward to your next one.
Awh amazing to hear. Thank you very much for your time watching and commenting 👏🙏
Just came across your channel. Nice chilled viewing of your smallholding journey. Just realised you're only up the road. I'm in Chester, small world. I hope to have a smallholding one day. Keep at it, loving all the tree planting.
Hey 👋 thank you for your time watching and commenting. Small world indeed! I hope you manage to succeed 🙏😁
Thanks for videos .. thought I'd add that getting say 3 pallets for beneath your ibc would give you space for containers your putting water into .. plus you may want to put them in a position that's already uphill so you can gravity feed your hosepipe ? .. all the best
Your making good progress you will get there in the end ! Enjoyed the video !
Hey John, thanks very much 👍 😀
Great video! Your editing gets better each one, keep it up!
Thanks for another watch man, I really appreciate you 🙏
Just a quick tip. Keep your ibc tanks dark, buy covering them from sunlight. The algi will grow surprisingly quick if you don't.
Ah yeah don't you worry. Not my first IBC tank experience, just for Greenfields it was. I have them in the field paddocks with a trough each, with their own individual covers 🤌😊. Also have the inner foil covers to keep them cool through the Summer 🐑🙏
Like the inner foil idea a lot. @@offthegridwales
2 of my favourite RUclipsrs in the chat! Keep up the good work chaps.
That's awesome@@michaelcrawford2094 thank you very much :D
I’m liking your camera work at the end of this video mate 👍
Thanks Andy! I would do more of it but I'm trying not to bring in my photo/video side of work into it haha 🥲. Appreciate you and thanks for the time again
So, that property is just for the sheep’s?
The property we saw you at in beginning is beautiful.
Try to understand where you are going with this.
Start is at my sisters. Where some of my girls are kept now and then. I sort their grounds for them too. Greenfields has been derelict for a long time, with its fencing down so long, it's been overgrazed/used. So it needs a hell of a lot of work getting it back to functional agriculture and to make some money back. Then it's building time. This channel will be a long burner. Nature recovery is extremely important to me, so all must be done in balance here and for the area I live, as its an Area of outstanding natural beauty (a government designation in the uk)
@@offthegridwales I get that!
Love the UK.
As soon as I move back to Europe I will visit again for a long vacation.
Love what you are doing there.
If you ever do. Please send me an email, be great to have an international visit 🙏 😊
@@offthegridwales I will do!
Until then I enjoy the videos.
Thank you.
Loving the channel, just binge watched and caught up. Is it your intention to rebuild the house and live on your smallholding?
Hey Phil! Thanks a million. I'll leave that open for future videos. Sorry I know that's a terrible response 🤦♂️🫠. Appreciate your time!
👍
👌
I nearly went with an IBC but with my limited space it worked out better to go with 4 water buts (that's what I could squeeze in) and good advice with the lambs wish I had space for that lol
Ah Cheers Tony! They are quite big if you're short on space. I was originally sourcing more household type waterbutts but shocked how much they are these days! I've also bought and turned one ibc into a hay rack 😁🤌. I hope you (and Teddy) are well 🙏
@@offthegridwales yes they can be expensive but I managed to find some fly tipped and got the 4th of a guy at a water company lol, we are fine thanks mate how are you keeping?
Wow, fair play. Nothing better than reusing/recycling. There's definitely ways around the costs on some aspects huh. Great to hear 😊. I'm alright thank you, busy week of last. Hoping for a few days to edit more 😁. Need a binge watch catch up on your channel too!
@@offthegridwales I haven't done much mate been working but I've got a couple of days off now so will definitely be getting some jobs done and videos out.
It's a hard balance act isn't it. Stupidly impressive what you're doing and managing to do, film and edit. It's much appreciated, for people like myself, who aren't that great planting food wise
£40 is pretty cheap. £50 to £70 seems to be the norm!
Wow, not in North Wales it's not haha. £70 quid!?! Thats shocked me. Grade A 40, B 30 and C 15 from supplier here.
I may get a trailer and head north at that price! @@offthegridwales
You are kidding me. IBC tank. 330 Gallon, $600 here in Alaska.
Hahah!! To be fair, i think that'd be worth the fuel 😂👏👏
600 usd!?!?!? Holy Sh*t! So Grade A here for (used once for food supply) $50usd... I know Alaska is expensive due to its location and shipping costs but damn.
