    Mitch…you are probably one of the most organized and methodical people I’ve ever seen. You are truly an inspiration on how to do something the right way. It’s a joy to see your projects come to fruition. Stay well!!!

    It sure don't seem like 4 years! I remember when you said you had a big surprise in store for all your viewers. Gosh, doesnt time absolutely fly !!! I must say that you've done so well thus far. Don't give up! Your own little piece of country will be so valuable in the way of flora and fauna, trees, ... the list is endless. I'm so proud of you and happy for you, to have your dreams come to fruition ( some of mine were stopped due to hubby's health ). Best of luck, Mitch. Keep on keeping on. ❤❤❤

      I agree wholeheartedly with you. I remember the announcement. It has been a pleasure and honour to watch you achieve all your accomplishments and share it with us. Thanks Mitch for inspiring all of us to achieve our goals and dreams…and learning some cool things along the way 😅

    Amazing work Mitch 🌳🌳🌳 And remember - "weeds" are just plants that naturally thrive in your area. Many of them will bloom and create structure and diversity to your view. My best tip is don't fight them, but guide them or overpower them. Meaning leave some zones wild, and others more controlled. And plant things that overpower or overshadow weeds in select zones. Less to manage, and makes for a more exciting landscape 🌼

    So fun seeing you getting closer to having a beautiful yard. Im surely learning a lot. Be sure that you pace yourself because you want aviod "burnout" and avoid injury.

    @brandonnelson3578 7 місяців тому +2

    I was glad to see you using emitters around your trees and shrubs. Years ago when I installed irrigations home owners would want us to use rotors to water the trees over time that causes damage, we always said imagine watering your trees with a pressure washer lol

  • @TheDragonhawkKnights
    @TheDragonhawkKnights 7 місяців тому +2

    All I have to say is I wish I could do something like this in my yard...this is going to be amazing once all the work is done and the trees grow.
    When I was 5, my grandma and I planted mugo pines all around our yard to act as a privacy wall and bird habitat. We also planted some blue spruce and lilacs and some other flowering bushes. Now that I'm an adult, my trees are 20 feet tall for the mugo pines, my blue spruce are 30+ feet tall; and with the lilacs and other flowering bushes it's a haven for bees, birds, rabbits, and I've even seen bobcat and foxes in my yard. It's sooooo cool!!!

  • @yamo_chan
    @yamo_chan 7 місяців тому +12

    If you haven’t yet done so, I recommend making an extension to your home plumbing map to include your irrigation system. It will make your life so much easier many years down the road, or for whoever might end up buying / inheriting your place in the future.

    • @TheYardGeek
      @TheYardGeek  7 місяців тому +8

    Love the channel and I'm glad you put something new out. I saw a comment below about the ground being frozen in Canada during winter. I hadn't even thought of that as a reason there wasn't much content lol. Anyway, glad you're back and looking forward to what's next!

    I’m very impressed with your plans for your acreage and even more impressed with the work you’ve put into your home. I know that it’s going to end up exactly how you want it, you never settle for anything less than perfect. Great work Mitch. PS- l love those wide open Saskatchewan skies, so beautiful!

  • @wrenchdoozer
    @wrenchdoozer 7 місяців тому +3

    The compressor to blow out the water lines for winter must be huge. The one that comes to do my system here in southern Manitoba is on a trailer, that said, they blow out a few zones at a time as opposed to one by one.

  • @joelbuchanan471
    @joelbuchanan471 7 місяців тому +3

    Oh that was so fascinating. I LOVE how you explain why you're doing things and how they fit into your plans for this property. So if I understand it correctly, there is both an electric line that goes to these junction boxes as well. Are they controlled by that electric connection to then the main controller in the studio? And the water lines converge in the box so they can distribute water to individual planted areas. This is very cool. Must be comparable to how they do the irrigated lawns that rich people have for lawns. What we used to call a "sprinkler system". At the end I was chanting "throw the switch, turn that baby on". But I know you still have a bit to do there. Great update Mitch. This was so much fun. Truly a crowning achievement when this project is done. Have a great weekend! Thanks for this! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

    • @TheYardGeek
      @TheYardGeek  7 місяців тому +4

      Yep exactly! The main controller will open up each of the valves to water each tree line! It’s also got wifi so I can schedule and control everything from my phone 😎 Can’t wait to see how many leaks I have though when I turn it on 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great weekend Joel!!

I know it took weeks of planning , buying supplies and just plane hard work. When I was younger ,I could go like that ,but 70 years young ,those days are behind me. We should be amazed and encouraged to get out there and do something !!
