At about 47:00 regarding soil being hydrophobic, and not absorbing water: Gypsum is a soil amendment that I use in my client's gardens in order to take clay, and break it down. It's a naturally occurring mineral, so it should be safe for animals, but of course, do your own research in that regard. I normally cultivate it into the garden bed, but the ground here is basically rock, so I have no idea what the method would be. Just thought I'd throw it out there, in case you are looking for something to improve soil structure. After adding the gypsum, I also add compost. It's full of that beneficial bacteria that help create beautiful loam.
Have you looked into swales? Theyre similar to earth smiles but on a larger scale. A swale is much longer level ditch on contour designed to slow, spread, and sink water onto the land while controlling erosion. Maybe you could do both together.
You can also put crushed charcoal or biochar onto/into the soil. Charcoal is full of little microcavties for soil organisms, plant available nutrients, and possibly most importantly water to collect in those cavities, and crushing it increases the surface area. When powedered charcoal is pre-charged with that stuff we call it biochar, but it'll happen naturally over time. Incorporating generous amounts of it into the soil can massively improve the texture, health, and water retention of poor soils. Look into biochar for more info. Combined with composted manure (you have an abundance of raw materials to make your own in that pasture), you could make huge improvements.
Connor is such a powerhouse. I wish I had a tenth of his drive
I LOVE THE ENERGY, thanks to Connor and company for these varied and fun vids
What an intro. :'D
