Honestly, with how sand your soil is, you would be best off trying to grow hay. As it will currently be lacking a lot of organic material in the soil and that will mean it has very low water retention. Which means most other crops will struggle to actually grow, and the few that will, won't grow to useful sizes. So your best bet is to try to get organic material back into the soil mix. That can be done with literally any plant matter used as mulch on top of the soil you want to grow on. The reason why I suggest hay is because it's mostly grass that's allowed to fully mature. That will mean after you cut it down, the root system will be well-developed, and those roots will over time help introduce organic material into the soil. After you have revitalised the soil, then you can more onto other crops. And the best ones to choose at that point would be a nitrate fixing bean verity. As that will help build up the nitrate levels in the soil, which will make other plants grow far better.
"Any plant", but yeah, grasses could help a ton, specially if it is followed by beans (peanuts or other crawling legumes) and sow it all into the soil.
Right like can we be honest that's a genius idea. If he took three to five months to develop a more finished looking product and then pitched the idea to a large rat trap company I bet he could make a decent bag.
You might be able to plant native wildflowers that could thrive in the sandy conditions while also improving the soil quality and benefiting native pollinators
Lavender would be better. More florets for pollinators, and they restore soil relatively quickly compared to most other plants. Something most people don't know is that bees prefer to visit one species of flower at a time, meaning a garden bed consisting of one species will provide more reliable food than a dispersed mixed variety of wildflowers. I'm NOT saying that bees only need one flower type to survive optimally, but if you're trying to feed pollinators, an abundance of one species in a plot will provide more available resources than dispersed wild flowers. In this sandy soil situation, a randomly placed variety of flowers would only be most beneficial if it covers a full acre of land, maybe less, but you need a huge area if it's shared among species. A good example of this is that bees go to the clover growing in yards before they go to the decorative flower beds. They follow the abundance of single species, when it's all mixed together, it's harder to be worth the effort travelling through the maze of differing flowers. (unless all species are abundantly packed, that is the ideal case which is not usually possible in poor soil) If it were a meadow, completely different circumstances, but in a sandy patch of dispersed wildflowers, they won't get visited very often by pollinators. They require a certain density of florets for it to be most beneficial, and this is why I recommend lavender. It restores the soil, and a single plant grows enough florets for a bee to get a full stomach and return home, with nectar left to spare on the plant for more pollinators. This is also why they like clover over garden beds, they have compact florets which usually grow within inches of each other tucked in the grassy terrain. Wild flowers aren't a bad idea, but they'd need to be grown in a way they're thriving in order to be beneficial. For example, a plot of dispersed milkweed will attract a few monarchs through the year, but a dense patch of it will bring flocks of monarchs to come and collect nectar season after season. Lavender gives no f's about the soil quality and returns nutrients to the deep soil through it's life cycle. Win win win for every being involved.
@ What is “better” is purely subjective. Native plant species support the larvae of native moths and butterflies whereas lavender does not. What you are talking about may be beneficial for a farm of honeybees or something but there are thousands of native pollinators that require specific native plants to complete their life cycle. A variety of native plants ensures that a large diversity of native pollinators will be attracted, not just things like non-native honeybees. For a pollinator garden you need to account for the moths, butterflies, beetles, flies, wasps, native bees, bugs and hummingbirds. This type of “pollinator garden” is actually very common and even a small patch of flowers can attract countless native species over the year. These kinds of native flower gardens are approved and planted by conservationists. You have to keep in mind that many pollinators don’t only rely on random nectar from flowers but actually require specific species of native plants to feed on when they’re young and to use as refuge.
As far as native _crops,_ he could also probably manage agave pretty nicely (its growing in popularity as a tough as nails plant for dusty California farms), plus you can make alcohol with it lmao
Would be accurate except despite all his incompetencies Clarkson has brought awareness to serious issues facing UK farmers. William just brings awareness to the fact that seeking help for mental illness is important, which is why we love him.
Here in Florida, I get compost from my garbage collection utility that picks up people's yard debris. Add that to the soil and till it in and let it set over winter. For plants: Start with native plants to your area. Go to your local plant nursery and talk to them. Don't order seeds online and plant what they recommend for your first crops. Pro tip: Use drip irrigation with an inline fertilizer injector to save yourselves hours of labor of watering and fertilizing. I grew up around farming all my life. I'm excited to see more farming from you. I think more people need to be inspired to garden/farm.
@@MarylandFarmer. Lavender will grow there. It actually loves poor soil and is known to be invasive in some places on earth because of how much they dominate poor soils. But they also revitalize the soil, so clear cutting the lavender after a season or two will allow you to grow more things. This is essentially what's happening in iceland, Lavender is growing rampant on their poor soils, choking out native growth, but if you come along and clear the lavender then replant native species, they grow better than ever before! It requires some attention to be done correctly, but it is a very awesome plant for restoring soils. Basically just don't let it spread outside of your property lines, and harvest it when it's ready, that's it.
4:48 - My granddad had a copy of this prayer on the wall of his garage workshop: God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The Courage to change the things I can, And the Wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off.
8:36 peanut butter is the best bait BY FAR. they are not capable of resisting regular peanut butter. sounds like you might want a drowning trap though if you have so many rats. also it looks like you overset your Victor traps. there are basically two positions you can set the traps in. one position is so hair trigger that breathing on it hard enough will set it off, and the other overset position requires a massive amount of force to set it off. basically if you can flick the victor trap's wooden body and it doesn't go off instantly then its overset and will probably never kill anything.
Agreed on the PB. It's a bit cruel, but the way I was taught to bait victor traps was to coat steel wool in peanut butter; that way the rat gets stuck/struggles and ensures the trap goes off.
You mainly need carbon, your soil isn’t soil, it’s sand and it won’t hold water or grow plants well as is, carbon is the most important thing for good soil health, then you can worry about what nutrients are lacking, mainly for nutrients I’d recommend adding alfalfa that’s branded as being for feeding horses, animal feed often comes cheaper than fertilizer, and gypsum, both alfalfa and gypsum are very cheap and won’t make smells that will attract animals like blood meal, feather meal, fish mean and many other animal based products will, gardening is my specialty and I love the entertaining videos you make, if you want any help with info related to soil restoration I’m happy to help
@@willohm5439 He means alfalfa that's already grown and harvested, like the one for horse feed, and not growing alfalfa in that soil, so he puts the nutrients of the harvested alfalfa back into the ground instead of depleting the soil further by growing something in it. Basically anything that is plant matter that can be composted quickly will work and provide the currently lacking organics, and the gypsum will retain water and provide some mineral variety / sulphates for future growing.
If your excavator needs starter fluid every time to start, you should check your glowplugs first. Super easy to do just unplug it and put a multimeter to the top and one to the battery positive. If it's anything above 6 ohms replace it. Otherwise you probably have air getting into your fuel system
8:26 Peanut butter or can cheese. They can’t just snatch it, like they will a slim Jim or piece of cheese, and will have to lick it off and inevitably trigger the trap
I had a mouse problem, neither cats nor traps worked. Then my house burned down, probably from the mice. The burnt rubble still has mice. Rodents are fucking evil and unkillable.
The oil. It’s a diesel so it’ll be dark. Although if you’ve put more than 1500 hours on it, I’d advise changing EVERY fluid and greasing EVERY grease fitting
Considering dirt and weather, watermelons, artichokes, beans, corn... desert crops. Your dirt seems ok for the right plants, probably needs some compost.
I think the coolest thing would be to plant sugar cane, maybe it does well in sandy soil? It grows quickly, and you can do a lot of interesting things with it, including ethanol.
I planted poison ivy in captivity once just to see if I could. Collected some drupes (tiny little berry-looking fruit) from a mature plant, put one or two in a cup of moist potting mix, and some time later it sprouted. Once it grew a couple inches and the first set of three real leaves appeared, I decided to end the experiment before I grew attached to the little guy 😛
My old roomate got Owl brand electronic rat traps. They work like a charm. They reset real easy, and you don't have to worry about it going off while setting them down. I think it is the most metal and humane way to keep mice and rats away. Keep them out with Thor's blessed rat trap.
Tomatoes, although grape vines are good very deep roots on them. To fix the sand mix in twigs leaves and horse poop. Ive used cigarettes and honey for rats before.
Beans really are fun to watch and even noob can havest a lot Also it helps with a little bit of shade for the surroundings area Aaaaand helps to fertilize the earth
Will, I've actually done soil sampling and you're spot on with using a pipe. The tool I used was a pipe on a stick with a handle that can clamshell the pipe bit open to drop the sample in a bag. The handle also doubles as what you stomp on to drive it into the ground. Works much better in nice dark black midwestern soil lol.
for the rats you need to put the traps along hard walls. Mice and rats have bad eye sight so they follow walls with there whiskers most of the time. So id recomend putting the traps in corners near anywhere youve found droppings
As a farmer myself, I agree. I am fixing equipment more than I am actually working. Field fixes to get the job done then a few days fixing that broken part. Get it all fixed. Few weeks later when you need the equipment again something else breaks on it. Good times
We have a mulberry tree in our yard, they're surprisingly good, very mild flavored and you could eat a hundred of them. The deer love them in the winter, anything that we missed they eat off the ground.
Agave. Its practically _made_ for these conditions, and you can make booze from it. Californian farmers are even growing it now. Its the perfect option!

Heck yes!!! Some other than the damn mail videos lol! Please do daily vlogs bro! Also I’m 100% percent with you on wanting to change the time to maximize the how late the sun sets, 10 or 11pm would be perfect!
William, if you can get in contact with someone that has lots of tree leaves and someone else you can get grass clippings from, this combination will make an amazing mulch that breaks down into rich soil in a surprisingly fast amount of time. Especially if you can mulch the mixture finer. The grass clippings provide your nutrients and the leaves provide your minerals. This is exactly how nature does it. You’re just speeding up the process. This is how I turned my yard into a 4000sq ft garden and I use zero compost, no fertilizer, and I almost never need to water now. Once you’re established… you’ll have the same benefits. Oh yeah, and if you keep the much applied thick you won’t have weeds either.
I have been to a poison ivy farm 15 years ago. Low amounts are used for herbal medicine. You can grow almost anything in sandy soils but it's going to drain water really fast so you need access to a water supply and set up sprinklers or something similar.
Make a shit ton of compost and throw in your soil and mix it and then grow sunflowers. And for the rat trap you could use the Dizzy Dunker trap that Shawn Woods designed, or the new one that he's working on.
I actually grew poison ivy for Catechol production. We had two acres of it growing and it flourished for two years. Once the crop was ready, we had enough Catechol and 5 kilos of surplus. The yield was for a holography in education program. Our entire time in the field was in Tyvek suits with respirator and goggles. 1.5 tons of poison ivy leaves and a month of processing and nobody got so much as a rash. Urushiol suck but man do I love the smell of powdered Catechol! Memories!
Sweet Corn, Hay, or Straw! We just did this to our area that had a similar ground composition. The compost from the leftover crops reintroduce nutrients to the soil.
That color oil is fine, old and dirty though. As long as there are no chunks of anything or metallic sheen. I'd change it though of you dont know the service history
8:42 Five things: 1. Don’t have your traps in the open, have them in something like a cardboard box with both ends open. They’ll be more inclined to go in there because it’s more secure. 2. Use salami. Mice and rats love salami. 3. Gloves. Just like any pray animal, if they smell the sent of something other than themselves, they don’t want to go near it. 4. The traps are never sensitive enough. You want to bend the tab that keeps the trap armed in a way to where a light touch will set it off. You can test the sensitivity by using one hand on the hook to mimic the pressure of an armed trap. Then touch the pressure pad with the other. Once you get it just right, it’s harder for the rats and/or mice to steal the bait. 5. I don’t like the plastic cheese traps as much as the one with the metal loop. Rodents will be able to just bite the food and slide it off the cheese one, but with a loop you can stuff the bait into it, and the pest will be forced to put pressure on the trap to set it off.
Plant an heirloom citrus and avocado grove with cover crop underneath. Will transform your land and will be a magical place for potato to play as a kid! Not to mention great food!

And then shows it off to the camera while waving around the loaded trap with his thumb in exactly where it would get squished.

mulberries are so yummy and they can get long and crazy! fun unique berries to pick with the kiddo
We have a mulberry tree in our yard, they're surprisingly good, very mild flavored and you could eat a hundred of them. The deer love them in the winter, anything that we missed they eat off the ground.
White mulberry is also probably the most indestructible edible plants that I know of. Literally grows in the central Asian deserts. Worth a shot.
A lot of mice and rats seem to like bacon grease on traps.
Potatoes would probably work best as they can grow almost anywhere as long as it is not too hot.
He already grew a potato

Hello William, forget rat bait, and indeed rat traps. Get that sticky paper stuff. Put it in the places they run along. You'll get tonnes!
sugar cane , sorghium or some shit that can be turned into fuckin moonshine,
Agave. Its practically _made_ for these conditions, and you can make booze from it. Californian farmers are even growing it now. Its the perfect option!
Idk how i feel about William waiting 2 years for agave to mature lol, but cool plant nontheless
Yay, my favourite series with brain damage
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people you see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life🙏🙏🙏

Most people don't invest due to ignorance.
my portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,I just don't know what I do wrong..
Well...I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing and start trading with am expert because trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbie...
Very engaging right from the beginning These are tough times and frankly I appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way. Business and investment
Heck yes!!! Some other than the damn mail videos lol! Please do daily vlogs bro! Also I’m 100% percent with you on wanting to change the time to maximize the how late the sun sets, 10 or 11pm would be perfect!
The william osman vineyard would go crazy
Put down a couple feet of wood chips from chip drop for free. Time will improve the soil greatly if you have the organic matter.
Will is doing what today...
Thank you for making great videos William. I needed to laugh, and you came though.❤️
grow pumpkins
Grow the stuff to make beer.. or peppers. So you can make your own open sauce 😉😉
Grow weeds
What, William, you say your ground quality freaking SUCKS ??? Well how could that POSSIBLE HAVE HAPPENED??? I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO Idea (4:10)
The heck? This isn't a cooking video.
I love cameraman john so much
William, if you can get in contact with someone that has lots of tree leaves and someone else you can get grass clippings from, this combination will make an amazing mulch that breaks down into rich soil in a surprisingly fast amount of time. Especially if you can mulch the mixture finer. The grass clippings provide your nutrients and the leaves provide your minerals. This is exactly how nature does it. You’re just speeding up the process. This is how I turned my yard into a 4000sq ft garden and I use zero compost, no fertilizer, and I almost never need to water now. Once you’re established… you’ll have the same benefits. Oh yeah, and if you keep the much applied thick you won’t have weeds either.
1:09 that's wild🤣🤣
Grow San Pedro cactus for mescaline and Peruvian apple cactus for fruit.

The rat trap detector is amazing. My sister wanted something exactly like that but I was too lazy. Definitely a $20k idea
I have been to a poison ivy farm 15 years ago. Low amounts are used for herbal medicine. You can grow almost anything in sandy soils but it's going to drain water really fast so you need access to a water supply and set up sprinklers or something similar.
Fracking radishes, and then cranberries.
Make a shit ton of compost and throw in your soil and mix it and then grow sunflowers.
And for the rat trap you could use the Dizzy Dunker trap that Shawn Woods designed, or the new one that he's working on.
I actually grew poison ivy for Catechol production. We had two acres of it growing and it flourished for two years. Once the crop was ready, we had enough Catechol and 5 kilos of surplus. The yield was for a holography in education program. Our entire time in the field was in Tyvek suits with respirator and goggles. 1.5 tons of poison ivy leaves and a month of processing and nobody got so much as a rash. Urushiol suck but man do I love the smell of powdered Catechol! Memories!
Pizza plants
That rat trap is actually a really good idea idk if there are any on the market but those could sell
1:05 the boys discover geotechnical engineering
Sweet Corn, Hay, or Straw! We just did this to our area that had a similar ground composition. The compost from the leftover crops reintroduce nutrients to the soil.
Potatoes 🥔 grow them!
I did not realize until this video--just how close his neighbours are to the overall property. My goodness
Sandy soil is great for Tobacco, you should grow that.
Plus you are farming in a warm climate.
That color oil is fine, old and dirty though. As long as there are no chunks of anything or metallic sheen. I'd change it though of you dont know the service history

Five things:
1. Don’t have your traps in the open, have them in something like a cardboard box with both ends open. They’ll be more inclined to go in there because it’s more secure.
2. Use salami. Mice and rats love salami.
3. Gloves. Just like any pray animal, if they smell the sent of something other than themselves, they don’t want to go near it.
4. The traps are never sensitive enough. You want to bend the tab that keeps the trap armed in a way to where a light touch will set it off.
You can test the sensitivity by using one hand on the hook to mimic the pressure of an armed trap. Then touch the pressure pad with the other. Once you get it just right, it’s harder for the rats and/or mice to steal the bait.
5. I don’t like the plastic cheese traps as much as the one with the metal loop. Rodents will be able to just bite the food and slide it off the cheese one, but with a loop you can stuff the bait into it, and the pest will be forced to put pressure on the trap to set it off.
wtih that much sand you could have some fun trying to revitalize like some the soil with turnips and such.
Plant an heirloom citrus and avocado grove with cover crop underneath. Will transform your land and will be a magical place for potato to play as a kid! Not to mention great food!
