Would be good speaking with you. What’s a good email address for you?

Thanks for the video. I regularly go on walks and now pick up horse dung and put it in my compost. I feel like I am collecting gold!

How do you clean the barrel each year?

Thank you for giving me the exact information I can order it online and finish my project tomorrow

great video!

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

Iron-plated teeth!!

cant hear muchj

Very useful video! Can you help me when buying horse manure, how can you tell if it has horsefly or not? Because if there's a way, I'd save my so far horsefly-free garden and future crops from them :) (I don't know if there are horseflies around here, but they often get brought in with the horse manure.)

This place used to be run by inmates from the local Monroe prison complex. This farm used to produce solely for the prison complex; Milk, cheese, beef. And the inmates would get to learn about the industry. Used to...

Hello, How much horse manure would you spread and till it per square foot of soil or if it's easier for you to answer, what thickness of manure would you lay on the soil provided it's the only source of fertilizer you're adding to soil? I was told anywhere from 2"-3" is adequate but I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks

Why no plumbers tape on the brass hose attachments?

Excellent

Don't rely on the soil survey if the property is small. Say less than 2.5 - 5 acres. Soils will change dramatically in many areas of Puget Sound. Don't mix the soil cores if they are coming from different soils. And don't mix the whole core. There may be multiple horizons within the core sample.

No matter how you slice it, close stalling horses is bad for the horse physically and mentality.

Excellent tutorial !

I couldn't be happier with my decision to use the arenagreen waterless footing from Performance Footing in my horse paddock! It's been a game-changer for both me and my horses. The footing offers excellent shock absorption and stability, ensuring a safe and comfortable surface for my equine friends. What sets it apart is the waterless feature, eliminating the need for constant watering and reducing dust significantly. It's low-maintenance and environmentally friendly, making it a win-win solution.

You have the best video on this that I have seen. Thank you

For the overflow, just screw a hose to the threads in the white plug on top. Why on earth would you cut a hole in the side? You've just reduced the barrel capacity by around 5 gallons. (Simply drill out the opening in the white plug.) Also, instead of drilling out the other white plug --- you know it unscrews, right? This is the strangest blue barrel conversion video I've watched.

Todays concern is what are the horses eating… Most hay has been sprayed with a Roundup typ product both during growth to eliminate weeds and as a finishing spray just before harvesting to reduce moisture and rotting. The horses eat this hay and grain and the herbicides are then spread into the compost. The herbicide can be traced in agricultural products for several years thereafter.

Hey I love the green leaf barrel where can I buy them?

Smart girl

Thank you so so much for uploading this recording to UA-cam. I was having a devil of a job maintaining continuous running when the session was originally broadcast. Now that it's up here I can replay it several times in an attempt to gather information from it. (I'm not actually from the United States of America, but there is valuable information being offered that can be used virtually anywhere you are in the world.) Blessings to you all. ♥♥♥♥♥

As a new homeowner in Lake Stevens I found this immensely helpful! My property contains a NGPA that has been overrun with blackberries. I've been looking for advice for what to plant that will out compete them but my property contains just about every soil type short of desert, lol. The plants you suggested on the slides for Wet Sites & Versatile Plant Species are a great start for me. Thank you so much for posting this presentation!

That is amazing that your county has a sharing system that actually loans out equipment like manure spreaders. I wish we had access to this where I live!

How can you tell when persistent herbicides are no longer a problem for garden or farm vegetables?

very good video.thanks

What if you don't have gutters?

I want to talk with you

I have been using horse manure in my garden for year. This year I am seeing some leaf curl. Could it be from the horse manure? I do let it sit for atleast 6 mos before using. Generally I rototill it to break it up, the mix into my garden soil. Could it be too high in Nitrogen?

Working smarter. Former corpsmember from the California Conservation Corps, get after it yall

Excellent..! I' m using compost from horse manure and I think is the best one .

Wish my broke county could help me. This is a good video. I am a few countries south and I am swimming in manure and wasted hay.

I get my manure from old horses so the manure is already composted when they pass it....if you get from young hip horses there will be a lot of weed growing but of course some like that.

9:15 you recommend tapping all the way to the end of the tap. That's a big mistake. NPT is National Pipe Taper. By going all the way to the end you eliminate the taper and create what's called NPS or National Pipe Straight. Pipe thread is tapered to facilitate tight sealing. Being that the barrel wall is somewhat thin - you're eliminating the taper feature. I'd go just to the point where the starting teeth of the tap reach the fully formed threads. This way whatever you thread into it isn't trying to cut threads but the taper produces a very tight seal. I'd still use the silicone sealant, but you're going to get a tighter fit if you don't go to the end of the tap. I'm still watching. Just have to jump in right here to point out a common mistake. At 12:00 you show a plastic ball valve. Yeah, it's doable, but they often take considerably more effort to open and close. With the necessary force you COULD strip out your bottom through-hole barrel connector. A brass fitting would be easier on the connection. While plastic expands at a given rate, the brass fitting will also expand at it's own rate. The difference between the two can cause minor cracking and leaking. So use of metal fittings is not the BEST of the best option. A better option would be one of those hose attachment ball valves that are also of plastic. They're smaller and easier to operate than the ball valve you show in the video.

Very useful video. Thanks.

rain catchers should be a design that comes with every home.a roof a already a rain catcher and we let all that water go to waste.infact i see a future where roofs are shaped to funnel water to one area to be collected

I'm concerned about collecting from my gutters. I feel the water is safe for grass and outdoor plants, but with the tar roof, is it safe for vegetables and herbs?

My only concern with us is wood they get sand in their gut if you put hay down on it?

It sure is. :)

Wait what do we amend soil with in winter?!

Is this method mosquito resistant?

I used to live near Cascade as an adult. As a youth I was further north and attended Everett High and were their rivals. Pours like crazy there and unfortunately any rain garden I've seen completely floods over because they aren't big enough-sure is a pretty one here though.

I live near a racetrack in Sydney Australia, there’s plenty to go around but they need to get it picked up by trash collections. Great to heat the compost piles...

Okay, so having a barn is still a must!! I suppose so they don't over eat!? Mmmmm. But what if I just want to keep horses outside all the time, with a big shelter, no shoes, and just ride them from point a to point b in the field and that's it!? I'm not sure about shaving their cut off during the winter time and putting a blanket on them. I may have too, because I'd love to canter in the snow on them, even bareback, on some days above freezing for sure!! In the snow. :) In the winter time I'd have hey etc. Idk about grain, but plan on riding them at a walk most of the time!! Grain mmmm. herd some issues could arise from that. Plus I lake in basic horse care but one day want a couple horses, and if I have the money. Should I give it a go, if it's too much, I'd board them at another barn and quite possibly lease them. ETC. I learn best from doing so!? Thanks!!

Why did you use a 7/8" drill bit for a 3/4" tap? Wouldn't you want the hole size less than the tap size?

Thank you

Thank you for showing us. I was looking and bulkhead cost too much as I wanted to put about 12 barrels for my garden as I fill up city tap water in those barrels and let it evaporate those chlorine out for couple of days then water all my garden. I have a question. Which way is better, use city water or it is better to let city tap water evaporate few days before I water garden. My garden is too far far away from house to use rain water.

Thank you for sharing. Where can I buy this barrel? Can you please reply with a link.
