Hitting those notes on the old sewage pipe, thought it might of kicked off a song haha!
Haha straight up
When I saw you put that saw between your decking i was shouting at the TV don't wreck your decking 👍🏴
it could have been a disaster....lol
Bloody great idea clay can't see why they won't grow very kiwi classic mate well thought
I will let ya know in 6 weeks .Thanks Mate
Aaaaaaah its a bloody kiwi! Don't see much of us here on RUclips, sweet as man.
Hahaha so kiwi! Love it!! Finally something normal on the telly 👍
This is my new favourite video on the internet!!! Subscribed!!!
Bro now that's cool too see a different concept of growing watercres !! I remember few years back now where my mum had decided to grow watercres she had used a big ol stainless steel laundry tub had planted direct with some sort of set up in free running/circulating water with an old fish oxygen pump man did they thrive bro and really take off haha was really impressive!! She's a bloody good creative green thumb too sure she's gonna like to see this hahahaha 😂👍 cheers clay always good content 👌😎
Awesome im gonna copy ya. Hi from the Horowhenua
You forgot the number 8 wire mate. Great kiwi Bushmans build
Be good to see the update
watercress my fav. your onto it bro
It worked for sure, I grow cress a lot, it can sit in water, it likes it! I grow it in kratke hydroponics with no aeration…
That's a pretty good set-up there Clay, the roots will go everywhere in the pipe.
At the top open end, I suggest you put an old sock or something there, as the soil & potting mix will spill over the ends.
I came across this video for a guide for Watercress growing.
See; ruclips.net/video/7Licq5uvKGY/видео.html
With the creek/spring, I suggest that you put over some chicken mesh until the baby plants get established.
Saw where someone put 4 rows of half pipes on a fence for about 40 feet ... Planted strawberries, radishes, lettuce and chives ...
Shirt you’re the man clay!!!!! Love your gardening. Going to plant some watercress now for sure!
Rock on!
Nice one mate. Good video.
Jeez your a brilliant barstard alright Clay. If there's one thing I've learn about watercress, it's that watercress grows better in just water. A lot of the watercress that grows in the swampy areas or in dirt are a lot harder around the stem and more prone to rotting. Not an expert but I've definitely done my fair share of watercress picking. You also strike me as someone who would benefit from a aquaponics garden set up, have a look into it. Cheers for the great content!
helpful advice. thanks mate
Update video please i made a 5m x 5m pond for my muscovy ducks qnd ended up thinking of using the wqter for growing cress its going qmazing no fertilizer required, this video qnd many others was yhe inspiration thanks mate
I took one crop from it and then replanted it in 🍓. Still the odd bit of cress pops up from time to time.
Look good
I believe,it will get washed out with heavy rain.. I would have made piping with chick wire & feed the tubes into it. I hope it works for you & as always happy to watch how you spent your day & got to watch your weather,while we are pouring out of winter straight into a bucket of winter.
Maybe if the pukekos get the watercress try some we domes of chicken mess till they are established goodluck when I was a kid we always went on watercress missions and I loved it the second day in the pot warmed up the spuds are awesome 👌 soke all the goodies up yum 😋
that grass will be good if ya do conventional bales good on u for re planting the watercress to bro
Thanks for the tip
Question for you about this planter idea. If watercress likes water real well, wouldn't it maybe be better to have the ends blocked so the water stays in the trough? I've never tried raising it, so I don't know, that's why I'm asking. The way you have yours set up, it seems that the water would always be draining. Like I said, I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
Interesting idea though for recycling things.
Another good video, keep them coming. I'll be watching. Have a good day.
a valid question. It would work blocking the ends but water cress likes slow moving water like ditches and creeks. This enables the nutrients to spread through all the root system.
That was genius mate lol. Be great if it works, follow up vid mate. I remember my Grandmother would make us Egg Mayo and Water Cress sandwiches in the summer, not sure if it was a Jewish German thing or if all families had it but I loved it. Been years and years since I had Water Cress.
yum
Would be perfect if you used a solar water pump to continually cycle the water from a catchment bucket at the bottom.
yeah I thought of this.
There are hydroponic systems people grow water cress in very simmilar
great idea clay. have a look on utube hydroponic watercress growing mate did it works great no soil he grew all sorts of veges in it
Thanks for the tip!
awesome bro
Just received your wasabi plants yesterday bro. soaked their roots in water over in the glass house and brainstorming a way to plant them out now.
Just wondering if there’s an update video please
Good question. The watercress died but started to grow somewhere else. I will show where it grew in my next homesteading video.
Yayy thank you.
Good shit bro
Hey mate how did it end up? Looking at giving this a go
I did ok but the water dried up while I was away on a hunting trip and when I got home it was all dead
@@ClayTallStories Cool that good enough for me boss I'll water it like to tomorrow. Fingers crossed
Where's the update? Looked for it. Was it a success?
Yep but the next crop was root bound
Can we see it now at all? I’m hunting high and low for your update vid lol
@@ClayTallStories ಥ_ಥ
Hi clay what about putting a wire like basket type over the watercress once it takes hold you can remove it it's not that I now much about watercress cheers mate colin 🥃👍🇳🇿
what if you put a couple layers of chicken wire mesh at the end of each pipe so you don't lose to much soil mean idea cant wait to use it in my garden
The only thing that could scupper your plan is a v. heavy downpour; maybe?
we got that last night and she is holding together ok so far.
Water cress grows better in a flowing stream, small or big.
Ever going to do another hunting vid.?
yep. when I have got through the Goat, Pig and fallow Deer I got 3 weeks ago. No point in killing when the freezer still has plenty of tucker.
The stream near me gets choked with watercress every year, if there's been enough rain. The stream bed is gravel so I think the water is providing the nutrients washed out of the farmers fields. What's the water you're supplying like?
EDIT
River Mimram near me - lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipMI77d8l2turw_se0VH8kEbfeMc7EDxC6-H0YRy=h1440
(Really it's just a stream or a brooke)
Kia Ora Clay, love the idea amd reckon it will work. During the 1st lockdown I experimented growing watercress on the surface of my goldfish tank, its still growing strong to this day
How did it go
Very average bro
do you want to come hunting for some pigs in kaikoura
Kaikoura is where heaven begins. Fishing, diving, deer stalking and pig hunting. Hell yes Rosie! flick me an email please. claytallstories@gmail.com
Nutritionally speaking, there is no such thing as a superfood. The term was coined for marketing purposes to influence food trends and sell products. The food industry bestows the superfood label on nutrient-rich foods with a supposed capacity to positively affect health.
"Superfoods" are healthy foods that have a maximum amount of nutritional value for minimal calories.
Good info mate
cheap solar pump. but the sump the pump is in needs to always have clean water or you. ll fcuk the pump motor
or decent solids handling pump in a sump Recirculating. you would need to make sure the water supply in the sump is always topped up m8
Canny idea Clay.
Not a good idea, water cress should be grown in spring water at source. You run a strong risk of liver fluke doing this.
from what I understand liver flukes live under the water? Thanks Wendy
@@ClayTallStories google the life cycle of liver fluke. It is the cistoceria that are carried by a little mud snail that is the intermediary host of the fluke which pass out onto wet pasture or water ways which is then ingested by mammals,who then host the adult fluke. You may not have the mud snails in NZ for all I know but it is worth finding out. Ask a sheep farmer.
