Conserving precious water part 1 -Making swales on the farm
Hilly land is prone to soil erosion. In this video, I share the process of making our first swales on our hilly garden using an improvised A-frame to prevent this by slowing, sitting and sinking water in the soil.

    Hi. On a 40 acres farm land, how would you mark and secure the boundary of the farm from thieves?

    • @snapfarming
      @snapfarming 22 дні тому

      Interesting.. You really raise an important issue because farm security is paramount. Large land, however, comes with special challenges for example, it's hard to remember the entire land boundary by head so it's essential to mark it out clearly with the help of a surveyor initially and fence it off early enough. But because of the size, its quite costly and cumbersome to fence off 40 acres. It might be better to use a living fence for all the land while reinforcing the most critical areas with added features. This is all simple yet efficient and sustainable. I will be sharing what this looks like on our farm and the multiple options we are testing for a living fence in our context in the upcoming videos.

      @snapfarming Thank you so much. I find the information you have provided very helpful. The person whose land it is has been scratching his head on what to do. A mixture of live and fix fencing he did not think of. Keep up the great work. We look forward to your next video.

    This is very resourceful and I'm glad I learnt something. Thanks for sharing how you customized the model to suit your land. I'm curious as to why this model was prioritized over others? Is it for its efficiency? I also wonder if the different items in the model complemet each other well if they are separate. I prefer that you combined the trees, cash crops and food crops.

    • @snapfarming
      @snapfarming 23 дні тому

      @@johntukakira Indeed.. Very resourceful comments as always. I chose this model because it was developed in my country and therefore suits my context. I am new to farming so I don't want to start with very foreign ideas that have not been tested in my context But like you said, these don't complement each other well when separate hence the slight modification. I agree with you entirely

  • @ongwen-laodog
    @ongwen-laodog 24 дні тому

    good work but I think you did not explain the 4 acre model well. It is actually five acre model. The first acre is for he house and backyard farming. The second acre is for growing food for the animals in the backyard. The third acre is for cash crops like coffee etc. The fourth acre is for food crops. The fith acre is for fruit trees.
