Hi guys! Hope you enjoyed watching this exciting project unfold. This pond will surely increase the biodiversity and resilience of the homestead and we've been getting HUGE quantities of duck eggs already! Can't wait to share the next episode. Want to start growing your own food? In my free guide I go over 6 steps to help you go from beginner gardener to year-round abundance. Download here: www.rootsreconnected.com/
You too . Thank you for sharing 😍
Is that an electric fence?
Beware Jaws 🦈😂
What seed did you sow on the edge of the pond? Grass seed? Your videos are great and it would be helpful to have some explanation or documentation to accompany them.
Love your videos! Could you add a little narration or explanation sections to your video's where you explain why you do certain things? Im really curious about the straw, seed and ducks!
i am really starting to love that guy in the bobcat
The dog was so excited when the ducks entered the pond and were out of reach! 😂
Would love to have you narrate these great videos so we can follow your thought process more. :)
I agree completely
And make them longer in the process. These videos are enjoyable but they would earn much more money by viewers if they made it 20-30 mins long.
Your ducks looked like they were in heaven as soon as they got in the water! 🦆😎
Loving the editing but there are so many questions unanswered:
Is the spring filling up the pond flowing all year round?
Why putting out all that straw?
Was it grass seed or fertiliser that you scattered around the pond?
Did you bring the ducks with you?
You see, I’m trying to trick you into an explanatory voice over of some kind …
@Lo Malinke. I was wondering exactly the same thing. Also was thinking a voice over or incerted text to explain what and why he is doing that. Let's hope he replies to you. I am going to ask him the same question.
@@johngrisham4097 For me also the same question. I love to know why he does what he does :D
Same!
Straw to avoid soil erosion. Loose soil erodes when it rains especially with a slope
I would also love a voice over. I was going to make a comment with some of the same questions and then saw your comment. 🙂
Moreno...it's fun to watch the progress being made on your homestead. You might have said this in a previous video but just wondering if you have always envisioned yourself living this lifestyle or if you're surprised by where you are today? You seem to be a natural at all you're doing and what you are creating for your family will be a legacy for your children. My guess is that you go to sleep at night with your heart full and your mind at peace by seeing what has been accomplished. Happy for you and proud of you! (Kentucky, USA)
Very good questions and I am curious also. ✌️
Wait a second, there is no negativity in this message 😂 Only joking, great comment..
the best of luck , I would love to do something like this , looks amazing.
You have to be a very patient person for this.
Looks like everyone is enjoying the pond! Good job!
The type of life I desire and am working towards 😍😍😍✌🏾
You and me alike mate. I just hope you are younger than me. Then you will possibly do it more that I would. Go for gold mate. Life is too short to second guess yourself. Before you know it you are 60 years hold. Don't wait, just do it.
Think of when your great great grandkids will get to watch this.
What an inspiration!
Well done!
Welcome to Portugal Mr Moreno,
You will inspire many here!
Wish you and the fam have a great time in the new home.
Brilliant! 🦆❤️
Thanks Moreno,
yes I like to watch as things unfold
this is so beautiful seeing the project growing
and may I ask you a favour?
Could you explain in a special video maybe
where you buy the stuff, the watercontainers, ...
how the prices are,
if the bobcat is rent, ...
It seems that there is a lot of money necessary
after the land is bought
and hopefully we can learn about that too?
blessings
and may all the land
bring you and your family fruit and love
and nourish your souls
Hey moreno is so amazing have someone like you in Portugal, i am Brazilian living in Portugal, i am big fan of your work i have got also a land here in Portugal maybe someday we can meet each other and trade some experience i wish you the best lucky 😁
cool! 😁... nice, looks great, nice to see the animals 'happy' n excited going in the pond for first time. like cows setting foot on pasture after long winter inside.... you can see joy in their eyes...like child at disneyland...hihi... good for land=good for animals =good for farmer 😁
I have seen all your vedios of your old farm. It was so inspiration. Now you brought your own new farm land. Congratuations. Have a progressive green future(organic way of blessing)😀.
Your family looks great especially.
Past 5 years I was thinking of leaving the job. Finally did 2 months back and now looking to do own business.
I've been looking at Portugal for a while and really looking forward to seeing the process
As already mentioned in comments more information is needed for us non farmer types
Ie the straw the reason for fencing the pound
So a voice over on future vids would be great 👍
Ahh.. grumpy excavator guy is back!!
great video! but i would have preferred it without music, like your older videos. i want to hear the nature 🥰
I'm so jealous 😭😍😍😍😍😍
LOVE THIS ❤
Great idea indeed to put hay first before sowing seeds! Beautifully built coop for the handsome ducks!
I just had duck eggs for the first time a few weeks ago on my anniversary! Another lovely video. Thanks!
The pond and ducks are a great addition to your project. A self-renewing food source. The ducks seemed happy to be there.
Great set up for the ducks with the pond and shelter well done!
Wow this looks great!! Beautiful little pond 🤩
I desperately want to buy a land and start working on it .. this is amazing !! big fan of your work !! Keep going !
So inspirational! I love what you are doing with the land, it'll surely turn up amazing in a few years. And a perfect environment for raising children!
Very nice! I’m interested to see the pond development as a biosystem
Supper amazing👍
Wonderful video! Will you add more commentary in the future? I have so many questions watching your projects! Like why use all the straw or how you know the pond is not going to dry out! :)
Same here. Was wondering about the straw…
Groetjes uit Kanada!! Love your channel. The swales you've made and the duck pond are amazing! All the best in you endeavours!!
You guys are living the dream.
Keep it up
That's a smart setup indeed. No watering, they get their own. What a Heavenly place for the poultry 😁😁🕺
Zeer interessant poolproject, veel geluk samen 🙏🇲🇨
Thank you!!
Ha, hier zitten nog Nederlandstaligen 😉, hier wel van België 😉
Do it good my friend! 🤽♀️
Hi guys you are something else i loved you made duck coope close to the pond perfect idia.
Is their any way I can reach you by DM? Please advice. Love the videos and all the hard work you and your wife have put into this amazing dream project. God bless you brother..keep the content and progress coming
So we'll thought out, excellent!! What did you sow on the banks of the pond ?
Cheers from Victoria Canada
oh Frank the Digger 😁😃
Loved watching it ❤️
Great addition to your land. Was that grass seed you scattered around the pond, or was it a meadow mix of seeds?
Would also like to know :-)
Or was it somekind of cover crops?
Bobcat fixes everything 😂
Great acomplishment already. Looks really awesome. Did you use keyline design to figure out where to put the pond? Thanksgiving for sharing
Nicely done, Sir!
Question: Why didn't you set the fence on the exterior part of the dam? The ducks' manure would help fertilize all that straw-covered area, and I'm guessing you'll plant the upper part of that dam at some point.
Good point. Just put in a 100ft wide pond about 3 weeks ago and I wanted to broadcast some cover crops but going thru drought here in Arkansas so right now the whole dam wall is just bared. Have no way to irrigate it since have no rain.
The duck's poop will fall to the bottom of the dam and mix with whatever vegetable matter is there. (Grass clippings, etc can be added to help.) This forms what is known as 'gley', which becomes in effect a membrane that helps prevent water from leaching away from the dam.
Mooi voorbeeld om naar de toekomst mee te nemen als idee! Dankjewel! 🙏🍀 ziet er mooi uit!
Ja, party mense leef die droom (ek skryf in Afrikaans). Portugal bied vele geleenthede. Ons moet net die moed end durf hê om dieselfde te doen.
Bonjour à tous, je vous suis depuis un certain temps sur votre potager, je trouvais sa incroyable, mais je ne comprenait pas l'anglais je suis content d'entendre la petite fille parlait français.
Je trouve que vous êtes en train de faire un paradis sur terre.
Enjoying your video in your new place, just wondering how long it takes to dig your pond, Planning to do in my same size for multipurpose also. Please continue sharing your experience.
A question regarding the spring of water running to the pool. Since water is an issue in the area, will the spring provide water all year long?
From what I heard in a previous video the swales on contour will catch rainwater and the excess is directed to the dam. The swales also hold water for some time and allows a lot to be absorbed by the soil below.
❤️ C'est génial que votre fille est bilingue!
You and your family are truly Blessed... Stay Blessed 🙏
Inspired by your meaningful and engaging content.
Bonjour , toujours de jolies vidéos et les enfants sont toujours content de voir arriver des animaux à bientôt
Just beautiful :D
Sensational video!
Beautiful pond, family and dog. Nice Duckmobil 😊🇦🇺
Looks like Justin Rhodes mobil coop
Yes it does and that's probably where he got the design from I'm guessing 😊
You went with ducks over chickens? Nice to have a spring on site and help spread that water out and really soak in the soil. Plus rehydrating the soil and aquifer is key.
Wow! Looking fabulous!
Simply...a Blissful Life 🎉
Looking good.
Can you please tell us video posting schedule . love your videos
O cachorro do cara é mais feliz que eu, ta loco
Absolutely beautiful!
Very nice episode Moreno! Hopefully we can meet in Portugal...!
nice
Nice man! Ziet er goed uit.
Bien joué!
geweldig
What did you spread on pond banks over the straw? Were those any seeds?
Hi. Are you going to plant some special water plants in your pond and channels?
Amazing 👍, NAMASTEY 🙏
Love it!
Me too!! 😀
Finally new video !!
It’s waterproof is the children
Perfect
You should grow duckweed in your pond the ducks and goats can eat it
What seed mix were you sowing on the pond banks, and is it common to sow after you lay the straw?
umm wont the heat of the day dry it out in few days? it didn't seem like a rainy area to me hehe
Thank you so much for the upload!
❤👌👍....A voice over or side captions could have been a help to us to understand what you were doing exactly....
Shouldn’t spread the seeds before putting on hay?
Hey Moreno,
Do you have any books you could share with us that would help anyone who wanted to start something like this ,but didn't have any experience?
Maybe add cattails to the pond for some food and will filter the water.
I really really like your videos - sometimes especially because there is no voice over. It would be more work, but since people seem to be so devided about this topic, you could start uploading two videos. 😅
Very nice! Are you going to put duckweed in the pond (food for the ducks and should reduce evaporation a bit)? Easy enough to get some in a jar from a town pond when you get supplies.
The pond suddenly filled with water? The ducks suddenly laid a bunch of eggs, almost one per duck?
I have to wonder, who is shooting these videos? Are you having to do all the work PLUS setting up shots, maintaining the cameras, and editing the footage?
really nice job, where did you get the fence?
You have been an inspiration! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next upload
A little bit late. If slaughtering of the muscovies is part of your plans, I would suggest that you replace the drakes with white drakes or just keep selecting the whitest drake in the future. The black feathers will always just give you some colouring in the skin of the dressed duck.
Great. If I may ask, what is the purpose of grass/hay around the pond?
the hay helps with coverage of the seed which has been scattered. Grass around the pond helps lessen soil erosion and adds biodiversity (eg. frogs etc).
Helps prevent erosion until the grass/forb seed comes in
I think it's to help prevent erosion and provide some mulch while waiting for plants to take over and hold the bank together
@@happycamper4329 Why he put down the hay first then broadcast seeds? Should it be seeds first then hay? Or am I missing something. Would be great if he narrated the process. Does he depends only on the rain to irrigate those seeds or does he have some kind or irrigation system which I don't see. Thank you.
@@mandiegarrett1706 I don't know exactly why he did that but, my guess is that the seeds would fall through the straw when it rained or was watered. Sometimes, when you cast the seeds first and then cover with straw, the seeds don't always have a chance to germinate because of the covering. The straw will soften through watering, and the seeds will germinate within the straw (which will also act as mulch).
Beautiful DREAM to become truth we Love it to watch it how you make progress
We live on Crete island on 4ha mountain with 60olive trees
We are getting there now to how to keep the water on our property!!
Do you maybe know somebody with your knowledge on the island by coincidense🥰💜💫
Well done! You should narrate your videos to explain the process.
Where did the water for the pond come from?
Hoi Dutch Farmer, succes met jullie droom. Zoiets is ook mijn droom en er zijn plannen om naar portugal te gaan. (heb nl Portugese vrienden) Mijn vraag is of er een manier is om met je in contact te komen? Groetjes vanuit NL
What does all the hay do?
What seeds did you spead on the straw?
Is the pond spring fed? Stagnant water in hot climates (at least here in the southern US) can host cynobacteria and amoebas that make swimming dangerous.
What did you spread after the layer of hay? is that fertilizer or grass seed?
Same question here !
👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😘
Never taste duck eggs:-) looks amazing
They're delicious!!
Never have duck eggs? oh...if you get a chance, you will never go back to chicken eggs. That's what happened to me about a year ago. Never have duck eggs all my life, only chicken eggs and quail eggs. I went farmer's market and this guy has duck and chicken eggs. I was going to buy chicken eggs but question him on duck eggs. He said once to eat duck eggs you will never go back to chicken eggs. So, I bought home a dozen. Next morning, cook them for breakfast and ever since then NEVER go back to chicken egg. You should try it.
