Fantastic video Dave and Toby. Have the happiest and healthiest New Year ever. You’ll get the hang of the hammock at some point, and I think the porcupine should be called Porter.
Bonsai Acres is such a neat concept...I don't know anyone that wouldn't love a place to get back to nature and get away form our ever decaying, loud, wasteful, disposable way of life...I love it in the woods or near a stream where the 'white noise' is the wind blowing through the trees or a babbling brook or stream...The solitude is addictive and renews the spirit within...I'm not sure that I could move into the deep forest and make a life but the thought of having a place to go to like Bonsai Acres is very enticing...I did a year of prep-school in Mound, MN and the wildlife and access to nature in Minnesota is second only to Alaska as far as I'm concerned...Well done Dave...I love that you are making the property as 'Off-Grid" as possible...Thanks for a great year of content, tips and inspiration and a very Happy New Year to you and your family...Sequim, WA...
You're gonna have to start on drafting lots of diagrams until repotting season gets your attention. (That's what I do.) Lol. I'm listening to you and wondering if the pump system has wifi/mobile app, so you can control and check it from home. I just put in a radiant heat tape with wifi thermostat in my healing in bed/cold frame... and can watch the soil temp from anywhere. I love it. Love the Bonsai Acres footage too!
porcupines do not shoot the barbs. they may swing their tail. then your hurting. but he wont bother you if you wont bother him. make him your friend, give him treats, you can both be neighbors, its all good.
I think you are a bit short on the fence in the ground. I think it is about 1 to 2 foot out on top of the ground, covered with soil. That way it deters the rabbits from trying to dig under the wire to get in. Being that far out, the wire will discourage them from finding a way to get in. Just a thought.
@@DavesBonsai You might have to go a bit deeper. I was just researching and found that rabbits being excellent diggers, wire has to be 6 inches deep, minimum and then bend it outward and cover. I was just worried about the trees you put it.
With the porcupine inside, how will you lock the door to the shed? With you placing items in the shed, you do not want someone coming in and stealing it. Maybe a doggy door for the Porcupine.
Will you be buying the solar batteries for backup on dark cloudy days for the pump? Nice reading for the winter months. This last week will fly by fast. End of year is always a downhill ride. Goes fast.
I have found at times a lifetime warranty isn’t what it sounds like. As when it fails they can say well that must be the life of that unit. That is if it fails aways down the track. 🧐
Happy New Year!

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 so far I’m not worried about what’s inside. Thus sowing that will be one priority.

@@bryanmorrion9503 what time is it there?
why don't you sleep in the shed?
The amount of stuff that came out of the back of your vehicle reminds me of those cartoon/ comedy skits where it seems to just keep coming. 😄😄👍🇦🇺🦘
@@bryanmorrion9503 clown car🤣🤣😜
Funny two guys without instructions. Of coarse it is going to be a mess👍😄🇦🇺🦘
