Thats ok @mumster It appears to have stopped everyone else watching it too.... 😉

Thank you knews! I hope you can follow your dream quicker than you had hoped! Thank you for the comment!

You are always supporting mate and I really appreciate that. Chat soon my friend!

Hey Nat Nat, its never easy making decisions like this as there will always be pros and cons. Hope you can bring Mia to see the farm one day and play with Rudie. Take care and thanks for your supportive comments as ever.

Ah thank you! Thanks for taking the time to comment so appreciated!

Hi Oahu, thank you for your kind words and support. Really appreciated!

Hi There, Things definitely improving now, hope to see you soon!

I had to laugh out loud at this comment!. Yes you are spot on with the land mines and lizards. The good news here in thailand is that generally it's so hot the landmines are like little dried out hard bullets and don't fortunately tend to stuck to shoes or cause problems!. Thanks for the comment t made me really laugh.

Honestly I wouldn't be too hard on yourself! Any Ollas will add moisture to the soil around them and even tiny amounts can have a major impact on soil microbiology. Keep trying they can make a really big difference !

Haha thank you so much. There aren't even really my dogs they just sort of came with the land and stayed, and then had puppies and then....you get the idea. I love them to bits, for me they are such a blessing. Thanks for the comment!

I honestly thing this is one of the best ways of using Ollas, for specific plants that need a bit more support likesmall trees! Great comment

Very true - I don't think we are quite steep enough for terracing but you are completely correct! Thanks for the comment appreciated!

This is such an amazing comment, it really warmed my heart. Thank you for the kind wishes from the whole "family" sending love and best wishes back too ❤️

Sorry meant to say the first shirt she ripped off so I sort of custom draped one of my T shirts, cut a whole for her tail and then draped and tied it in key areas. It lasted nearly 4 days before she destroyed it!

Thank you for responding personally my dear . Sounds just like my little precious destroyers lol . My babies drive my absolutely bonkers but they are gifts from Heaven above ( better than any human friend I’d say ) . What kind words to say my dear . If only folks like us didn’t live a gabillion miles away I would love to introduce your precious critters to mine we could talk about all the terrible things they have done in the last 5 minutes lol . I do love them so , they are my prize possessions ( well I guess I should also include my husband who I adore and my two boys LOL can’t forget them :) . I have 11 bunnies( I bought one didn’t know she was pregnant then came 11 ) , 1 cat 3 dogs , yes - my life is a whirlwind. Your videos are wonderful but so much more delightful sharing your tender heart with those smiling precious luv bugs . Take care from Hollie 🥰🐶🐱🐰. Geez Louise , how could I forget my chickens : let me introduce you to Pebbles and Sweetie 🐔🐔💕and to think I live in the suburbs lol oh my goodness let’s not forget most importantly: Jesus Loves you Precious :)

Embarrasingly I had to order online. I have now found a local supplier right in the village which is great news!

These are all great ideas too! Thanks for sharing!

Hi there, it's mainly borehole water but I also use rainwater collected from the roof areas too! Thanks for the comment

Hi There, now I always thought she was a jack russel cross but now you mention it - I think it is likely she has some Decker (Rat) Terrier in her. She is an amazing hunter and has many of the traits of a decker!. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you so much for your comment appreciated!

Ah thank you tons for taking the time to make a comment - always appreciated!

haha maybe! Thanks for your support!

I completely agree with this and it is the best sustainable solution! Thanks for your comment!

Hi John, @johnlim6108 this is a really interesting question actually and something I have spent considerable time thinking about. FYI I started this journey 3 years ago - when I was 55 and I walked away from a senior corporate role. Its not really about age but you do need to prepare yourself and think a little differently the more years you have under your belt. You have actually given me an idea to talk about this in a video! Many thanks for the comment - really appreciated!

Hi Nate, @garfieldnate yeah amazing isnt it? Very slightly water permeable - they have also been used as water filters because of this! If they are glazed however they then become very water tight! Thanks for the comment - really appreciated!

Hi @environmentaldataexchange3906 Very Good! & Thanks for the comment!

Hi DJ, @djcoffman6505 sounds a cunning idea to me - work smarter not harder everytime! Thanks for your comment and input - appreciated!

Hi @rosemaryryan6455 this is wonderful and pleased he gets such great performance from such a simple system. I am shocked at how effective these seem to be - but they appear to work absolute miracles for the soil health and provide "just enough". I am also adding these to my raised beds by the way! Thanks for the comment really appreciated and great to hear your experiences too.

Hi @zoeyshoots yes!They're little grafters all 3 of them. All joking aside ...even though they technically aren't my dogs, they just live on my land! I love them to bits, they are such a huge blessing to me!

Hi @DGibsonxio - I think your last line says it all - it SIMPLY isn't possible. I did some thinking along these lines as I was making the video as I had similar thoughts - can we automate this. Actually we probably can but to do so would be pretty expensive and complex. In which case you might as well install actual drip irrigation or other irrigation systems. I think the beauty of this is in its simplicity. And can be used where the irrigation systems aren't setup for. Thanks for the comment its really appreciated that you took the time to actually comment and support the channel in this way.

@@TheSmartGardenRomYenHouse the slow way in my garden seems impossible because I can get it planted ok. When it comes time for actual taking care of it, weeding and watering, my farm related job comes into play and I am so busy from about 30 minutes after daylight till dark all summer and fall. Our projected end of season is November 15 this year. With sporadic calls all winter and random during early spring.

@Mr.G_Rattlesnake Legend! Many thanks for the sub and supporting comment!

Hi @DHunt-w2h It is definitely one solution worth looking into further! Thanks for your comment!

@daynight4902 Thank You for taking time to write a comment - really appreciated!

@annharlan8926 Really pleased you found it useful and a good idea. Thank you for the comment!

I didn't appreciate untill recently what a huge blessing it is having unlimited water supply. You can still use this method of watering aswell if you want too. The helpers are always gorgeous honestly. Thanks for the comment really appreciated!

@@TheSmartGardenRomYenHouse it was the "4000 YEARS OLD"... that caught my eye when your video just slid across my feed. As I am a Bible student (I dare not say scholar), those words always catch me. Yours was a very interesting video. Thanks for sharing! I thank God, though, that we have gotten .... (and i'm afraid to say this - lest I curse us) our share of rain for the season!

I love this lol

Hi @MarSchlosser Absolutely originally the design you mention is common across different cultures too. This is just a (not so wonderful!) attempt at reproducing cheaply with moden methods such an age old technology and have some fun in a sustainable way at the same time. Thanks for the comment always appreciated!

Hi Ken, @kenaar I agree that would be a more sustainable solution - I will try that in the future. Many thanks for your comment.

​@@TheSmartGardenRomYenHouseterracotta pots about that size by me in Louisiana USA would be near $10 for each pot and the bottoms would cost about the same! Also I have never seen an ​terracotta pots shaped just like yours. Ours all have straight angled sides.

Hi Will @willbass2869, Adding volume and surface area should aid water infiltration in general. In our situation though the soil is so overfarmed and compacted that the water just sits on the surface and takes for ever to infiltrate the soil (because of compaction). Over time this will improve as we grow more and more trees and other plants on and around the swales as the roots will aid water ingress. If you have good healthy soil already this will probably help alot. It doesn't hurt trialing different techniques such as this to see what performs better. Many thanks for taking the time to comment Will - really appreciated!

@conorgraafpietermaritzburg3720 Thats great! Glad you found it useful! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Hi Mum, They are soooo hard working!

@davewillcox All great ideas mate will definitely try these..!
