  • When you live OFF GRID like we do WATER is super important. We have no well or CITY WATER and rely 100% on RAIN WATER CATCHMENT. So every building has to be SELF SUFFICIENT. This is the first step in securing WATER for the GREENHOUSE and RAISED BED area of our GARDEN. This stand will hold about 4500 pounds of water!

    About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
    We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

    If your ground has any moisture whatsoever, you don't need to add water to the concrete. It will pull whatever moisture it needs out of the earth. My father in-law taught me this many years ago. I thought he was full of it, but it works fine.

    @PfeilerFamilyFarm 6 лет назад +7

    You mentioned doing that on the hoop house. I plan on adding gutters to both sides and then having them fill up IBC containers which would be located on the inside of the hoop house. Approximately 3000 sq ft catches a lot of water!! My only issue is that there would be low water pressure so I’m going to have to use a pump. A friend recommended a solar powered pump. Thanks for sharing Doug!

    Just finished refurbishing a chicken coop, which a friend was happy to get rid of and another friend has a rain barrel she wants to get rid of, and am going to get a piece of gutter to do the same thing on a 10th of the scale of what you are doing but the rain barrel will be within 3 ft of the water dish, easier for me and less chemicals for my birds! You and Stacy are both very inspiring even for this city dweller!! Thank you.

  • @chasstanford1973
    @chasstanford1973 6 лет назад

    We capture our rain water as well from the pole barn into 2 tanks which are 250 gallons each. Our pole barn is 40 feet long, so the surface is rather large to capture this precious resource. This water is used for the garden primarily. It's amazing to see how fast a tank fills when it's a steady rain. We've seen one filled in about 15 minutes.

    I feel you on the post holes. I tried using a gas powered auger and didn't get very far. I had to go back to the trusty manual one. I like the self sufficient green house. I agree, especially where we are in the desert water is precious. I eventually want every one of our structures to collect water. Keep up the great work.

    Also a good tip if your gutters have trees that can drop debris into them, put house screening over it to let only water get in the gutters and no leaves or pine needles.

    We have a garden shed we need to catch the rain from. Not room for a real gutter so need to improvise. Good tips here. Is your soil too much clay and that is why the auger didn't work? Noticed the red water pump must have been made in Iowa. 👍👍 Maggie is quite the helper and Greg is a true friend.

    that was awesome. I am going to try to do that to feed water down for my stuff too. I may go with smaller containers since there is only one of me and I do have a well already for the house. But the more self reliant a person can be the better. But without a man to do my work my projects have to be smaller. You are both so lucky to have found each other with the same dreams and intelligence.
