Rainwater Harvesting For the Goats - With DIY First Flush
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2024
- After the move to it's new location and the re-purposing to a hay barn for the goats, the rain roof is finally getting back to its roots.... Rainwater Harvesting! In the video I'll show you how I set up the PVC downspouts, created a DIY first flush system, incorporated an IBC tote for storage, added a water trough and float valve for the goats to have fresh water. And of course.... I'll show a bit of good ol' footage of the goats playing and having a good time! NOTE: for those wondering about if I will paint or cover the IBC tote.... yes I will ;)
And thanks to Mike at www.coloredredleathergoods.com/ for sending me the awesome leather patch hat!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

Please take this as a compliment but your projects remind me of the kind of projects you might see in vintage Popular Mechanics or Sunset Magazine. Simple, ingenious, well crafted.
I certainly do….Thank you! I love those older magazines and the information they showed. More sound in many ways than you’d find in todays publications😂
and the quality and finish of everything is excellent.
@@homesteadonomics Hello, how are you, can I talk to you about agriculture?
@@homesteadonomics Hello, how are you, can I talk to you about farming, raising cows?
I did the exact same thing a few months ago. The problem is here in the desert the water would literally get dirty in a few days and our goats wouldn’t drink it. I changed the bucket to a nipple waterer for goats . Clean water and no maintenance. Our goats love it. 👍🏼
Joe, my wife and I are getting ready to move to a new place where I will do some rain harvesting and so you were my 'go to' YT channel for doing stuff like this. I feel like you're part of my YT University degree when I need to learn something I've never done before. Great explanations with no short-cuts or hacks to make life simpler in the beginning and then have to pay for those short cuts in the end. Your projects are always top-shelf material.
This is pretty awesome. It's a great way to collect and store rainwater. Cheers, Joe! ✌️
Thank you Dwayne😊🙏
The homestead just keeps getting better! Love it!!
One step at a time…. But pretty soon taryn thinks it’s gonna look like a little town if I don’t stop building structures🤣
@@homesteadonomics Hello, how are you, can I talk to you about farming, raising cows?
Thanks for the 'first flush' explanation. I had a basic understanding, but this helped me grasp it better. I love seeing Belle play.
Yes, it’s so sweet to see her having fun with the kiddos! I hope you’re able to see her get excited for a walk…. Only happened once where she was hopping and prancing but it was SO sweet to see😊

Hi
Another great project , you always recycle the materials very well , no waste 👍
Thank you! The PVC in this one was about half left overs and half new. And I will say….the new stuff makes me wish it was all leftovers…. So expensive 😭😂
Nice hat, Joe.
Thank you!
Short and sweet. Nice little system.
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. Not only nice on the eyes but a genius too. What a great, simple and straightforward system. No need to pay out lots of money for special filters. Thank you again for the great video.
Great work, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
i just loved your nice project .
Thank you 🙏 😊
At the very beginning of this project for goats so thanks for this video. I'll be back often!
Easy is awesome. And a project is completed! Satisfaction!
The goats are darling, what fun. You should see how they react to Olive playing with them!
Great job Joe! Love the very entertaining goats and chickens. Adorable. Your projects are always so well thought out and well executed, including the videos. Always impressed.
Thank you so much🙏😊
@@homesteadonomics good job sir
Where are you sir?
Joe, you are such a great guy of information & making it all work wonderfully. 👏 You should write a book of all your projects. I'm sure us folks would buy it in a heartbeat, sir.
Keep up the great work & showing us your cool projects,
Chris from Missouri
Very much appreciated. Thanks for explaining 'first flush'. Been wanting to do the same in rural Kenya.
Thank you very much! And great to hear from Kenya 🇰🇪 😀👍
I was worried about the ball blocking some debris when the pipe was full and then I seen the pin hole at work! Nice job.
Thank you! Yes eventually there will be enough sediment to cause some clogs but it’s easily remedied by opening it a few times a year.
Sounds like Belle is ready for an adult beverage too, after doing zoomies with the younger gals! 🤣
Thanks for the reminder of how to do the first flush set-up. We've decided we'll be adding a shed to the yard and I will be making sure to add gutters so we can catch as much rain as possible. This showed me right what to do since we won't have space for as big a cistern as off the house downspouts.
Nothing like spending quality time with the goats and a delicious adult beverage! Thanks for another great video.
Yes! Watering the garden, checking on the animals or just sitting on the porch swing… all great times for an adult beverage in the afternoon 😊
This man has talent , thanks for the videos Im putting 3 icbs together for my vege garden
That drink looked good 👍🏼
It was!
Joe, perfect length. I like the first flush. Great hat 😊🌵. Bear Down!
Thank you Henry! Bear Down!
Fantastic!
Thank you!
great plan
Thank you!
That is a well built system. Goats are 4 legged crackheads. LOL
Haha…yes they are!
That is an interesting way to put it! I have goats myself and they will be running in all of a sudden get a thought and jump up in the air and do a twist and a kick they're funny to watch hilarious especially when they can climb up on things and jump off!!😅
Concerning algae, the IBC tank can be pulled out of the cage and wrapped in 6-ply black plastic then reinserted in the cage. The lack of sunlight with prevent growth. Great vids. Glad I found your channel!
These goats are the happiest goats ever.
love the diy first flash
Thank you
Hmmm, adult beverage and goat milking…. Is that a new thing like the yoga thing! Very nice Joe!
Haha…I don’t know. But works for me😂
Neat, thanks.
I love watching the goats ripping around the pen and up and over stuff at full speed. I've never been exposed to goats much and they're just so different.
They are pretty hilarious to watch😂
They are such cool creatures! I never knew they were very intelligent and until I started raising them myself now I have Alpine dairy goats and realize how cool they are!
Hello dear friend Joe 🙋 What a father that you already have goats, I love them, .... and apart from that they will give you organic fertilizer for the organic garden and for the fruit trees, which you can add to them once they leave, comrades Composting several months, .....it is rainy time and to collect rainwater in those huge cisterns that you have What a good friend you always think of everything I love that you like the water and that you every field says prospering! Receive a cordial greeting and we will see you again very soon 🌵🌻👩🏻🌾🇲🇽
Thank you Rosario😊🙏. Always love hearing from my neighbor to the south! 🇲🇽
Thanks to you friend Joe, greetings also to your beautiful family!🌵🌻👩🏻🌾🇲🇽@@homesteadonomics
Hi
Great video as always.

Thank you for checking it out😀🙏
Our family did it for generation...its really nice idea and also keep the yard long lasting
Wow super ! Goats wood table stand exercise very good , which is help them to stressless life ,
the first flush is a good idea...cheap and easy
Thank you!
More goats! All the time please.
There will be more for sure!
this goat pen is a work of art
Thank you!
All I ever used was Bic, So I wouldn't know..
so wonderful beautiful video friend i love it see
Schönes Projekt. Wir machen das in Deutschland auch schon seit über 30 Jahren. Gartenbewässerung und Toilettenspülung. Die Gitter wassercontainer noch streichen. Gegen die algenbildung durch die Sonne!👍👍🇩🇪
Yea…Rumble! Thanks for the vids. Great content. Informative, Inspirational and Entertaining. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
What a awesome way to water the fram 🐴🐓🐖🐄🐂🦬🐑🐐🦌 happy framing
Beautiful shareing
💪Joe's G.O.A.T. water collection! It looks like you might get some rain, maybe alot from that BAJA storm!🍹
We sure are hoping and praying for some🙏😊
@@homesteadonomics Us too in SoCal!
Awesome job 👍👌👍👌👍👍 I'm working on auto matic water system for my chicks , right now , just off blue food grade barrels
Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Have you considered adding a small pan under the first flush drain hole to accommodate your chickens? Hopefully you will continue capturing rainwater as your monsoon season tapers off. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, nourishing rain, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
Not sure, but it’s not a bad idea. But more likely I’d add a bucket so that I could pour over a plant.
And May you and your family have a blessed week as well CG😊🙏
Beautifull farm....Good luck friend 🙏
A BIG HUG FROM BRAZIL, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROJECT I'M STARTING MINE IN THE SAME WAY
This is awesome. I love the metal instead of wood. I spiked the 👍🏾
Happy goats!!!!
Love that water tank! Cheap, simple, effective!
Thank you! I love the utility of the IBC totes!
@@homesteadonomics I actually meant the galvanized goat waterer but same goes for the totes 👍
Short and sweet is good!
Awesome
Always fantastic projects, and very well explained, looks like a very peaceful homestead. 👍👍💛🍷
I like the water system
wow fantasticfarm
Great job, congrats.
Your living a dream buddy
Very nice. Keep it simple solution.
You are doing good 👍
First year after getting my IBC tote for rainwater it stayed quite clean all summer but every year after that it pretty quickly grows a lot of alga despite me powerwashing it thoroughly every spring. I probably need to either paint it black or build some kind of plywood cover for it. Luckily it's just for watering the garden so not a big deal. These videos are extremely insipring. Really nice place you got there.
Yes, the light is the biggest thing for algae growth. So I will eventually paint it or cover it. But it is unpainted in this video as I needed to get it finished to be ready for our next rain as we are getting close to the end of our monsoon.
Thank you!! love your videos they are so helpful 👍👍
One of the nicer one I've seen. Great job
They can really jump!
They sure can!
Great looking hat brother
Inspiring Thanks Joe 🤝
Great system.
Something to be aware of - PVC should not be used for drinking water. Copper or CPVC should be used, but it's most likely good enough for the goats!
Man you have done great job 👍
Pretty simple and informative
Yes we like short videos! 🙏🏻
You did amazing job I like all animals and I hope one I’ll make like this
Thank you for this!
Great video. Looking forward to seeing more. We are just starting out in Central Washington .
Pretty cool goat's are awesome animals i had goat's when i was younger goat kid are the most adorable animals that i have ever seen i am a new subscriber
Very very nice video
Magnificent GOATS 💪🐐
Great job!
Fantastic video
Goats are so much fun! Omg. How cute are they!??? That drink looks delicious! I remember that feeling of needing to be milked. 🤣 It’s a bit uncomfortable to say the least. 😂👍🥰
😂 oh yeah, Belle WANTS to be milked and gets up on the stand when we come in with her treats during that time. While I don’t know first hand, I do know that it can be painful from when Marley was young! Moms are the best!😊🙏
@@homesteadonomics 😁❤️👍
Goats are awesome lol I have Alpine dairy goats and sometimes just sit and watch them play it's like therapy! When my girls are ready to be milked they jump up on their stand have to do it every 12 hours!
Very nice job and workmanship on that. would love to build one of those for my chickens and that fence is really kewl too. 🙂✌🤘💯
Thank you very much! If you scroll back in my videos tab, you can see the rainwater system I set up for my chickens about a year ago.
Beautiful farm
Thanks mate I enjoyed that video never thought about platforms for the goats to play on , nice one
I had no idea goats were so playful. Might have to get some!
Very good thank you ❤
Very good brother
A really good video, short and to the point, I like it. Enjoyed watching the kids doing zoomies, lol.
Oh yeah! They love zooming around😂
This video's the GOAT!
Greetings.👌👋
Simple yet Brilliant Design, Joe! And what a great activity to involve your daughter with! That mama goat and those 2 kids (unrelated, lol) provide an entertainment spectacle all by themselves! They are hilarious 😂!
Love your videos, been watching since the beekeeping days (always hopefull for a resurgance) but have been inspired to put a rainwater collection on my roof even though I live in a super dry part of CA
Great and simple video Joe! I may be busy getting ready for winter here but I really need to do some rain catchment (next year) and you are the channel I go to for that! You have explained it enough times that I think I am finally getting it 🤣 The goats are so much like puppies!
Hi
Thank you.
Three billygoats gruff😂
Looks like a great idea with the debris catcher.
Interesting content!I want to have it in my mini farm.
You have done a great job
Nice video brother 👍
Very nice
