@@KarasCyborg Sometimes birds fall in and die. We float boards in the tanks to help them get a drink.

@@kathiarledge9275 Yea, not everyone likes the earthy sweet taste of beets.

@@tyyolpi4660 I love pickled beets too. We use my Grandma’s recipe. 🌱👍

@tyyolpi4660 Yes, they are! Also easy to can, and if you grow your own, MUCH CHEAPER that paying $1.50 + per jar at the store. I've canned pickled beets and onions as well as spiced pickled beets with whole cloves, allspice berries and cinnamon bark used to flavor the brine. Just wonderful. And I had extra spiced brine left over after I filled all my beet jars, so I fished out the whole spices and chunked up a bunch of ripe tomatoes sitting around my kitchen, and cooked it down until thick. I had made spiced tomato jam! Great on meat sandwiches or served with hummus and pita bread with veggies. Also good served with cream cheese and crackers. I gifted my friends with those cute 8-oz wide-mouth canning jars filled with the jam, with instructions to eat it sooner since I didn't process them in my water-bath canner; I wasn't sure if I had the proper vinegar to fruit ratio to be able to can them safely.

@@Christopher-en7fm Me too. I can never grow big nice turnips, gets to hot here.

👍

Sometimes I just crave sweet dirt. 😉. (I know I need to up my minerals when that happens- but the beets make the medicine go down good.)

@@tawanda34 I like your style 👍🌱

LOVE beets! If I'm cooking them for a recipe, always have to make extra account I'm snacking them down as soon as they're tender. Killer with butter and red wine vinegar.

@@Judith-wq2jp That sounds delicious. Im looking forward to roasting some beets, then blending with beef broth and spices for a soup. 🌱👍

@@sogal4christ Thanks so much.

@@Bob-cx4ze I guess there is some water in there at zero pressure

@@Bob-cx4ze That would be better to have hose bib at ground level. 👍

@@KarasCyborg Thank you

@@edmwangi4223 2 horse pump. 7 gpm (I Think)? pump is at 360 ft.

@@rosemarygaeta8205 They eat just about anything. What they don’t eat will get scratched into the mulch and break down into compost. I have heard onions are not good for them. I do dump onion skins in their run. They don’t eat them, they just scratch them up. Thanks for tuning in. 🐓👍

@@rosemarygaeta8205 Yes. We have to make sure the wells are working. We did get a nice rain two nights ago that filled some ponds. 👍

@@thisoldmobilehomeinthewood8434 Thanks for viewing. 👍

We had a mare that would drink twice as much as normal when she was in foal. And a Holstein cow that just drained the stock tank.

@@ttooee2635 Yea, keeping the wells running in our arid climate is important.

@@martyvanord984 Thanks. The lids and weights are handy but kraut can be made with just a crock and a plate for weight. 🥬👍

Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

@@thewindmillgarden This probably is cheaper given what they want for antique crocks here

@@martyvanord984 Thanks. I will check it out. Sounds right up my alley 👍

@@JamesHollinger-lt8qx Thanks for watching Slaughter - $120.00 Processing - $1.15 per lb. hanging weight Cure - $1.10 per lb. Hanging weight

Getting a date booked now is a lot better. 2020 - 2022 our processor was one year out. Now I am just in the habit of making a new date a year out when I drop pigs off for processing. 👍

@@martyvanord984 I originally purchased the two filters and our well pressure tank from Aqua Science. I purchase parts from Softener Parts.com. The mazi valve I got from Drip Works. Is this what you were asking (source)?

@@thewindmillgarden Yes thank you!

@@thewindmillgarden Aqua Science looks to be an amazing resource. Thanks!

@@martyvanord984 Are you setting up a well and water system?

@@martyvanord984 Are you setting up a well and water treatment? Another good source of videos is US water systems. You can also talk to techs. at Aqua Science.

@@martyvanord984 Fleck 2510.

@@thewindmillgarden Thanks for getting back to me

What type of cleaner you run through your's? I picked up some oxy-p to clean out my Katalox setup.. I haven't used it yet just curious on your's.. ty

@@xmonte7835 I use Iron Out. 👍

@@martyvanord984From the well water goes to a cistern. Then the house has a water softener. The iron filters help a lot, they just require regular maintenance. There are other systems, like peroxide. The air filters have worked pretty good and air is free. 👍 Thanks for watching.

@@martyvanord984 Also when running a lot of water through filling stock tanks, water does not have enough contact time to remove all iron. It does get rid of the smell.

When this well is just sending water to the two ranch houses, it works good. The iron filters help out the water softeners. It is just too much iron for the softeners.

@@thewindmillgarden my research says that peroxide is the very best but as you say can get expensive. Those who sell peroxide systems say that air over will gum up and quit working. Looks like you have it under control by doing a solution clean and soak.

@@martyvanord984 That is true. Air over is not maintenance free. Takes more time and energy to run them. I think that the deep clean with Iron Out is key. It’s a trade off. A peroxide system in a home might use $300.00 in peroxide a year. Lower maintenance. The Air over valves use free air but will have to be cleaned once per month. Also I have to take valves apart once a year and change injector, piston, seals and spacers. 💧👍

@@Matt-bd5wc The pressure will be left at 90/110 all summer. We need it set there to push water up hill. When the cattle are moved back to winter pasture, which is mostly lower elevation than the well head, I will set pressure back down. There is enough elevation drop in the 5 miles of winter pasture pipeline run, that we need two pressure reducing valves. As for the floats, they work simply on water level. They are just larger versions of the old style floats used in toilets. Running high pressure is not ideal. It is hard on old pipes. It is just what we have to do in the summer because of were the well is and were summer pasture is.

@@amandajohnston6616 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐓 Nice comment from my beautiful wife

I did reply to this but it is now blank. The well water is rusty with rust chunks. I have taken anything visible out with a triple set of 20-inch big blue 4.5-diameter pleated filters.50--5--1 micron. To my amazement, they lasted a year and a half before I changed them out. Clogging with rust flakes was a problem before. Even though the water is clear, it still creates rust stains. I am looking at adding a treatment stage after the big blue filters. Air over with side injection and peroxide treatment as well as heads that create a top air pocket are all being considered. i

Sounds like you are dealing with both oxidized iron and dissolved iron. Those chunks could clog air injectors, so thats good to get them out first. Have you considered spin down filters? An iron filter or peroxide system will get the dissolved iron. Have you done a water test. Aqua science and Im sure others do free water tests and will give you treatment options. 💧👍

@@thewindmillgarden LOL After filtering out the rust, I realized that NOT having dissolved iron would not be logical.

@@thewindmillgarden I do have a 2 inch Rusco spin-down filter before the 50 micron BB filter. The water inside the clear housing is so rusty that seeing to the back is difficult. Even though I know better it seems to do nothing but I am sure is helping protect the first pleated filter.

@@thewindmillgarden I just received a water test bottle from Aqua Science today. Thanks again for the source. This company was not even on my list of possible companies to consider.

Thanks for watching.

It would be bad. It might also take a very long time to rebuild the electrical grid. If things turned to total chaos it might not get rebuilt. It would be a new world.

@@thewindmillgarden I completely agree. Not only would all the stuff like Transformers (the big things on Electricity poles) - essential for Domestic and Commercial Electricity, but the parts that run the machinery to make them, not to mention the machinery to get the NUke/Coal/Solar generators going again. Reliable Analog wind up watches might become essential agian, probably horses (look at the building of the Bismark, it used Donkeys - it was only 90 years ago.. ALso letters and mail may make a recovery - its a hell of a thing :)

@@thewindmillgarden Transformers (so I am told) are very difficult to build (especially at scale), they require uncommon ingredients, take a loong time to build (by skilled people), and if you rush it, they are liable to explode the week you get them online. It is actually the power providers duty to provide redundancy, I wonder if anyone is building a bunch They better be... Also Considering what happened at Fukushima, which was ultimately caused by water pipe connectors were incompatible with the Fire Truck connectors, imagine the mayhem that will be caused when most transistors or Electric Control Modules will be dead, are all the Nuclear facilities up to scratch, and is someone on that right now (it being "name every system at the (Nuclear Power) plant which could cease, become unpredictable or cause some kind of danger if small processors or even Transistors in the system failed".

Good to know. What are the side effects. I’ve heard they are bitter.

I will check it out. Thanks. 👍

Thanks for watching. This short is also linked to a longer video.

Thats right. Today I dropped out well pressure from 80/100 to 40/60. Dropped tank from 78 psi to 38 psi. Just can’t get all details in on a 60 second short video. 👍

@thewindmillgarden that's great, it's always a good feeling when you are able to conquer tasks on your own without calling a plumber! Good on you

I think if we all make small preps. Do what we can with what we have. We will all be stronger, and our society will get through an EMP or CME much better. Remember community and help neighbors out.

Plants are smart. They have things figured out.

Thank you. I love these old mills. Simple is a beautiful thing. Thanks for watching. 😀

I’ve only ever seen one pod. When I was 6 I found one while out with my older cousin, he told me it was the molt of an alien creature. He had gullible me running back home, and fearful of this rogue monster for days! Anyway they’re very cool looking, and I had no idea you could eat them. Solid Video!

They do look alien. I think they are related to Okra. I have not eaten them but have watched videos of them being cooked and eaten. 👍

It’s old. I didn’t dig it. Thank you old timers. 🤠

Thanks for stopping back. 👍

We call the local well service company. They are pros and have the truck and tools for the job.

Yea. I am a big windmill fan. Simple mechanical motors. Nothing can stop them. They just work. Solar has come a long way. I don’t think it will take an EMP or Solar Storm though.

Wow. I like your style. It’s not everyone who knows what a pump jack is, let alone uses one. We have windmills on the ranch and an old antique pump jack the old timers used when there was no wind. I myself have never used it. I do not know solar, but a lot of ranchers here have installed solar pumps and are very happy with them. You should check out UA-cam channel Engineer 775. That guy knows solar and well pumps. Thanks for watching. I am working on a windmill/drip irrigation video right now. Come back and check it out in a few days.
