    Run the soakers at late evening or night for 2 hours minimum. This gives a chance to soak in before sun evaporates the water. Also put the hoses under the wood chip.

      By the way, goats like to climb fences, not to get out, it's to get after something they see on the other side. But they're fun to be around and they get to know their keepers pretty well. A ram always keeps things in order. Need one of those like a rooster.
      Be well.

    If you spray paint a bright orange spot on the snake, it makes it easier to see and then you'll know if there's more than one snake. A little paint won't hurt them. Just a suggestion.

    Nathan,
    I have been using soaker hoses for years. I use the hoses like you have in your garden for row crops like beans, okra, corn, squash, etc.. I use 1/4" lines with 1 gal./hour drip emitters for individual plants like tomatoes and peppers. In hot weather I run the water 2 to 3 hours every other day. I use a mulch of leaves or wood shavings otherwise you would have to run it every day. Your wood chips should work ok.

    I covered most of my garden with black plastic, it keeps the weeds down and holds the moisture in the ground, just use a pitchfork and poke some holes in the plastic in the low spots to drain the rainwater into the ground. This method reduces the need to water the garden every day, I could usually rely on a weekly rainstorm to keep everything growing. Had to water 2 or 3 times during an average summer.

    I use the drip irrigation in my raised beds on a timer, 30 minutes in morning before it gets hot, then again in late afternoon for 30 minutes. So far it's been okay. Your garden looks great.

  • @ascienceguy-5109
    @ascienceguy-5109 3 місяці тому +1

    Having used both drip irrigation and soaker hoses, I can say that the frequency of watering depends intiraly on your local situation. One tip is that you may need a pressure reducing valve, because plastic fittings and hoses can pop off or rupture if the water pressure gets too high. If water conservation is the goal, then drip irrigation is more efficient than soaker hoses.

    @iwginc2877 3 місяці тому +1

    The mulch is important mainly because it lowers the ground temp. Lower the pressure with a regulator but you must split your water hose and have a manifold on both ends. This equalizes the pressure in the leaky pipe and you get even water distribution. Low pressure constant flow you can water as long as it take to make the soil wet down for 3 inches under the mulch. Low gal per min for a long time. Cover your hose with the mulch so the hose lays on the dirt and the mulch prevents evaporation. Raw chips decompose release tannic acid which is why you want to ferment and compost the chips before you use them. As your work your chips that are raw into the ground you will have to add lime to neutralize the soil.

    Instead of board and bat, ever think about shiplapped? It takes some extra milling but saves the extra bat production and installation. Barns in our area use it with grat success. As the boards dry, they create just enough clearance for the joint to dry. Bats wick in moisture between itself and the board and eventually rot.

  • @liquidrockaquatics3900
    @liquidrockaquatics3900 3 місяці тому +1

    Soaker hoses are great, but if you make raised beds, you can bury irrigation pipe in the bottom and fill it halfway with porous material, and extend the pipe past the surface. Ideally, you can fill it up with a rain barrel and let the plants drink it down. The raised bed just gives you a permanent location for the water so that you won’t hit it with equipment and it’s easier on your body. You can just add layers of soil and compost like lasagna.
    Irrigation times really come down to how much water you need to put down, and what you time frame looks like. I used to irrigate sports turf and we had to either water early morning or late evening after the sun was down for a few hours. The summer heat caused mold issues if you watered too late, but would burn the plants and then evaporate if you watered during the light. So our watering schedule was set up to 21:00-01:00 then 04:00-07:00 for the systems that we could automatically run. The biggest help is more green mulch.

    Hi Nathan, love your channel and all the variety of project and equipment you demonstrate. With all the different woods you come across, have you ever cut thornless Honey Locust? I heard it was pretty rot resistant and have a neighbor who will be cutting one down either is Fall or next Spring (36" at the base). He would have a tree service cut it down, but I was thinking about having them cut 8' lengths out of anything that was over 12" and straight and then take that to a Wood Mill near by to slab up and kiln dry for me. I was thinking about making an outdoor table for me and a 3' x 8' arced bridge for him. What are your thoughts?

      It’s a good wood but would do poorly outside

    Because it is wind-pollinated, corn should be planted in blocks, not single rows.

    When you nail the battens over the boards does the board split under the batten when it shrinks?

    SW Kansas. Soaker hoses don't get it..even if you run them 24 hours a day. We have to use a drip system. Run it 24 hours, and rest it 24 hours. During windy days event that's not enough. 90 degree heat with no moisture in the atmosphere and 30 mph wind, will evaporate more water than a drip system can put down.

    Constantly exposing a soaker hose to sunlight will cause it to degrade and break much more quickly. Burying it prevents this and, as others have said, helps reduce evaporation. But, burying the hose causes other issues such as being able to easily identify and repair leaks. I ended up treating soaker hoses as disposable with a 1 to 2 year lifetime. Then I got annoyed with that and switched to drip hoses. YMMV.

    I wouldn't run those soaker hoses in the daytime in full sunlight. That black hose will act like a solar collector and the water will heat up to the point where it will be too hot to touch. Have you ever run water through a garden hose that has been setting in the sun?...it is extremely hot. Can't be good for the roots. I would run it at night after everything starts to cool down.
