  • I am going to backfill the west side of the pole barn where are dog kennel run will be. We are getting 5 dump truck loads to fill in this area. I will be moving all this dirt with the TYM T654 tractor. Once the area is graded the way I like it, we will install a few fence posts and plant grass.

    Evan, you need to do what is best for you and not worry about what others might say. It is yours and Rebecca's farm, so do what is best for you two and don't worry about the negative comments, the farm is looking better every day.

    One suggestion when you're finishing an area for grass is to take a 4'x8' piece of chain link fence. Staple it to a 2x8 x 4ft board with 10' of rope stapled to each end. Pull it all over the area with your lawn mower to smooth out the tractor ruts... The ruts will hold water and get muddy faster than flat lawn that allows even absorption...

    You are right on the fill. Some times just buy decent stuff, I got a bunch of free from the highway when they widened it and cleaned out the ditches. Was a lot of slop from a nearby swampy area a lot of bushes which try to grow back even after they are buried and tramped in, plus some doozy size rocks we had to pick. Free is not always the way to go.

    I always tried to do it all by myself with my own material but have found, you are just as far ahead going to work and spending your time making money for your project at your regular job. Then, have it your material delivered like you just did.. where you need it. There is enough work in just doing the finish work without adding the hassle of digging a borrow pit and being hard on your equipment and yourself.

  • @pauljoseph5130
    @pauljoseph5130 2 года назад +1

    Evan, save yourself some money. Contact local basement water proofing companies, excavating companies and sewer installers. I never have to pay for fill dirt. Often times the “fill dirt” that arrives is topsoil and I can save on my topsoil costs. If you have 3” of topsoil, that’ll be fine for the grass to grow. I’m sure your soil is still warm enough to get some germination. I enjoy your videos, people can really relate to your projects.

    Compost works better if you dig some 5-6 feet deep, 20' Wide x 30' long hole to dump all manure and barn waste etc. They compost better if you add 5-6 inches of soil after every layer of 12-15 inches of manure, then cover it with a layer of dry/wet leaves. That's how we used to make our compost.

  • @HoneyDoHomestead
    @HoneyDoHomestead 2 года назад +1

    I think you did it right. I wouldn't go borrowing dirt from elsewhere on the property unless you already have a pile sitting someplace from another dig project. Even that would take a dump trailer and a lot of scoops to get it where you wanted it. Like you said, there's probably good soil in the pond, but that might be a good project to do now, for when you need dirt next year. Give it time to dry out.

    It’s definitely late to plant for our area but you’d be surprised sometimes. It wouldn’t surprise me if it went ahead and at least had some germination. We have some warm weather coming in December. If it doesn’t you’ll see a good amount in the spring. I like to put some wheat seed in on something like that. It’ll germinate quick and grow later and sooner and you can get bin run wheat really cheap. But I think you’ll be fine. It’s looking good. Any time you have to haul fill it gets expensive. Keep up the good work.

    I think 50 degrees is kinda the germination magic temp. You probably don’t want it to germinate now, or colder temps in December will kill the tender sprouts. Maybe your mulch will help ease the cold. Best case is it goes dormant and sprouts in the spring. **If the dogs spend much time in there, won’t be much grass anyway!
