@@LumnahAcresEverything was going great untill you had to deal with a little rain from Beryl , always whining about the weather and I'm talking from Houston where I still don't have power
The first year I watched you started tomato plants in your basement at the old place in February. They grew tall and scraggly too soon. I thought to myself these people do not know how to start a garden. Over the years you have sure proved me wrong. Great job
You're sitting on a giant shelf of limestone deposits from what once was an inland sea. You're going to find sinkholes that drain down into friatic caves formed by rain disolving limestone at seams. You'll find that sand won't work, the next rains will wash it down the sinkhole. You need to plug it with large rocks dropped in deep and covered with earth.
I was thinking along simlar lines..But I speculate it may be due to a drop in the water table or change in migration route of water plume from an underground spring leaving a void (as a result of weather and, I recall you did have some natural wetlands on that property and beavers were causing some problems at the time.). I still think there may be some wash-out issues.
@@CRuf-qw4yv In Missouri and western Illinois, with our huge limestone bluffs we have a huge problem with developing sinkholes, what we do on farms is fence them to protect our cows and stop worrying about it, they last thousands of years!
Good 🌄 morning to the Lumnah Family and all visitors to the OGP site! We have a bright sunny day. I will take frequent breaks and stay hydrated! Thanks for the visit!👍🥧🪡⛺️🖖🫖📚🐈⬛✨️🙏
Hello there Robert! Having extreme heat warnings here in Omaha. Muggy too! I hope your week is going well and I am looking forward to your week in review! Cheers! 🤩👍🐶
Good morning Lumnah family. A sink hole is never ending sometimes. How often will you have to keep filling it in? That is really soft watching you drive on it. Kind of like quicksand. Be careful.
Good morning Lumnah family and all who watch. Be careful about filling sinkholes with sand due to ending up with a big patch of quicksand. Something is definitely collapsing underneath the ground. Take care and have a blessed day. 🍀 Blessings, Teresa 🦉
@@tonygrimes13 I respectfully disagree. “We have a problem… end of last winter this showed up.” Because it “showed up” they THEN filled it with large rocks, assuming the rocks settled and had gaps they are now adding more film. Al did not explain what the original cause was.
If you have a sinkhole, you need to contact the authorities at the New Hampshire Geological Survey, with the mining history in the 1800's, in your area where you live and as well the tailings pile that you have been using as gravel on your property and your parking lot. If the sinkhole is from a mineshaft of one of the gold mines, you may have a bigger problem that sinkhole, if the mineshaft shoring has rotted and the mine roof is caving in, it is possible you could have bigger problems. You may need ground penetrating radar survey of the property to see if it is a mine shaft. also New Hampshire Geological Survey also may have maps of the known mines and the tunnel under the ground.
They don't need to contact the USGS they caused that when they cleared the land of trees for the homestead. like he said he was hiding piles of rock that they turned up with the bulldozers.. you can go watch that video and see what they did.. also notice around that entire field area they have huge boulders they moved.. they were all dug up. just peaking out of the ground so they dug them up and moved them when they leveled the area a bit Unfortunately its downhill from their septic leach field or it might have been a good place to put a swimming pool heh. not good to have it downhill from the leach field hahahahah
If there are no known mines, it could also be a depression formed by 100 year old rotting tree stumps... or in farm country the remnants of a junk hole. IOW, buried garbage from 100 years ago.
@@raymondheckard234 certainly worth asking the question but I was pointing out that there are other and more common causes, without saying the sky is falling. Besides, filling in the hole is probably the easiest fix. Time will tell.
Good morning everybody! So sick of this rain and humid weather!!!! Tons of projects outside and had to put them off. Sweating buckets and chasing mosquitoes! WHEW!!!More rain on the way - should be building an Ark!!!
Hi Al,Gina, That was not a good thing to happen but that was a good attempt to halt the rain. Gina the planting is looking so good & those tomato plant are growing so high. Take care happy family & hope the storm by passes you.
Good morning! Here in southern Missouri I got almost 4" of rain from Beryl on my mountain. I moved up here from Houston TX last year, and have lived with hurricanes my whole life, and the darn thing followed me! 😂🤣😂 Well, we needed the rain and God is always good. Your garden is doing so well Gina, congratulations on all the yummy food you're growing! Texas Deb 💗
At 19:52 to 20:08 the vent pipe for Septic field on mound just above Sinkhole being filled-in, makes filling-in with sand logical, may need to fill in with sand again in about 5 years, cause goal is to keep the water underneath the surface of pasture !
Envious of the secret garden. Planting those marigolds was smart, natural bug repellent. Consider yourselves lucky to be getting rain, no rain here in a month now. We had one shower, provided 1.5" in 6weeks.
Good morning to all the Lumnah's and all the good people that follow them! Al, I think you could really use a track driven skid steel, it would have made this fill in job so much easier, just a thought. Have a great day!! Jay from Pa.
Al, you might want to check something out. In our area (we live in the city limits but I don't think that would change anything) there was a house a few doors down that a sink hole devoloso iped and the county was notified, It seems this is a big deal. The Department of Geogoligy of the State tracks these things and apparently is responsible for filling them in. They also want to check on them from time to time to see if any changes have occured. Many people would not have the resources such as a tractor or access to get fill to try and take care of the issue. Also it may be important for others to know where these sink holes are.
Sink holes are so scary. Praying that it will stay filled in once you get it compacted. But odds are that will settle some over the next year and may require additional fill. But your blessed to know where it is. With the rain coming so soon it might let it settle faster so you can see if any other action is needed.
GOOD TO EVERYONE! I am glad that you don't have to move all of the sand by wheelbarrow. Would using the compactor to vibrate the sand around the rocks?
Having watched channels like Dirt Perfect and letsdig, I figured out you need some bigger equipment! lol And with 500 acres up there.. is there no place you can grab some fill from? You'd need a dump trailer... but you got your excavator to dig it out... and then I'm not sure the tractor is the best idea. Almost like you could really use a heavy duty bull dozer right about now. Still... it's fun to watch you try to tackle these projects with what you got. Thanks for sharing this homesteading journey with us.
Al has said plans he on getting a dump truck many times this year, I don't think he is considering for taking off the farm, instead of paying for deliveries, tho' and Al has said he needs a second bigger excavator, so time will tell, but I watch all lets dig and most dirt perfect, their good, Camarata, Diesel Creek, Post 10 and more like Wild Wonderful and Life Uncontained, I catch their every !
Good evening Lumnah family from a partly cloudy Minnesota. Good evening viewers. Too bad Al that the rain came before you could finish filling in that sink hole like you wanted to. It does look a lot better! Nice job. Good job getting yourself unstuck with the bucket when you sank in on one side. That was a deep hole. That grass did really hide how deep and how big it was. I hope you didn't lose a lot of your fill when that 6 1/2 inches of rain from Beryl hit the homestead. I'm glad you tried to funnel around the area and you put an earthen dam in too! I got my apartment and I'm very happy with it! I've had some pain with my legs because of the displaced bones. I spent the weekend packing. By the end of that I had to ask my 19 year old son to put the boxes in the car for me I was so sore and having spasms. That was great that he did that. I moved in what I could on Monday. I have to take breaks. I could barely walk at that point. Monday night I didn't get any sleep because of all the spasms, stabbing pains, and hot spots in my lower legs, knees, and feet. I laid down at 10:30 pm and gave up sleeping at 5:50 am. I've had very strong coffee and I had to cut way down on packing and moving things. So far I have a blow up mattress and 2 plastic deck chairs as furniture at my place. I've been focusing on changing my address all over and working on divorce stuff. My soon to be ex-husband wants the divorce done yesterday! We were married for 14 years and I had kids for him 5 years before that. We were engaged for 2 years before that! He wants to pay me $12,000 for my part of the farm. It's valued at 362K. Nice guy huh? I never could talk to him. He was always too busy with work and he always took whatever I said the worst way possible! I'm so DONE with that! I was trying to talk to him about his proposed "deal" for me for the divorce and all he wanted to do is get me to say I lied to him when I said I would sign the divorce when I got back of his proposal of $12,000 for the house. He was calling me and emailing me and wouldn't stop trying to pin me down about the divorce. I wanted to wait until I was back in the same state! I said it to stop him from hassling me. I admit it, I said it to get him to stop! I'm a liar in that one regard. I was trying to get him to give the kids our farm. He wasn't listening. Now he's listening!
3 days of rain. 3 am. hard storm 45 min. Thunder was so LOUD that I covered my ears & jumped. L.O.L. All is well.❤ HARD 🌧 rain 6-7am 🌧 90% Humidity. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤ SE MICHIGAN
I sure hope it doesn't keep sinking. What you've done to fix it sure has helped! Your cows & animals will love it when it is covered in grass! Will you use your sprayer for grass or just seed it?
Gooood morning everyone, from David in Omaha, NE. We have been having heat warnings for the last few days. Dangerous heat wave. It is summer, I guess. That was one big sinkhole Al! Glad you got it filled up. Have a great day everyone! Cheers!
I like the views from inside the cab of the tractor. It’s an interesting perspective on what you are doing. Keep in mind that it’s pretty much impossible to hear whatever you’re saying over the noise of the tractor, though. Might it have been a good idea to just put a fence around the sinkhole? I know absolutely nothing about the subject and it’s probably a temporary solution at best. Gina’s garden looks great! I consider the strawberry a small payment for all of the work she’s been doing in the garden. That hurricane and her remnants made a huge mess along her path! Take care and be careful. Ken’s Karpentry channel had some horrendous footage of the flooding in a small town near his home.
What caused the sinkhole? Many people have found that filling a sinkhole after it appears does no good unless you find and fix what CAUSED the sinkhole. If you have limestone under that area and it has dissolved out, you might find the sinkhole swallows all your work and reopens even LARGER than this time.
Good Morning all!! Looking good Al I'm sure you will get it sorted out!! Garden looks great Gina! Hope Brutus and all the animals are doing well!! Stay blessed all!!
Beryl left my area NE of Detroit, MI with around 3" of rain. Our backyard French drain could not keep up with it and we did experience some temporary flooding. It all resolved within a few hours after the rain stopped. That was the first time the drain was extremely overwhelmed.
Too bad you didnt have time to put seed down. Gina, im surprised your garden is so pretty with no fencing and so many critters around. I cant keep one with the deer without fence.
Al when you drop a load of silt, sand or road rock in a pile and you back drag it to level it out jam the loader handle forward which should put the bucket in float configuration which makes the bucket float as you backup spreading the material making it easier to smooth it out
Hope it went well with Burle. My son lives west of Houston and was under it when it hit land. Luckily he is fine but exwife lost the huge, very old oaks in her yard and water in the house and under. I love Zinnia's. Have a patch of them every year in my yard. I live in Idaho and we're under a heat dome. Weeks over 100 deg. Feels like the high desert is reclaiming itself. Be safe and good luck.
Good morning Lumnah Acres … as I’ve said before you need a 3 point tipper trailer for your tractor and a second tractor so while the trailer is on one you can fill with the other.
@@samvalentine3206good morning to to you my dear overseas friend I hope you’re as well as I am, please have yourself a blessed week and keep smiling. 😊😊😊
You have a large "Seep". Fortunately it is focused in one area. You have had a lot of rain and the hill or slope is saturated so now it comes out. All the sand and silt in the world won't help it. It just adds to the soup hole. It is too soft of material and it has no cohesion to solidify. You need to dig some drainage to the woods back there to help it leave that area to a lower location!
We didn’t get a direct hit from Hurricane Beryl in Nova Scotia, but the level of flooding & damage was terrible & we sadly lost a 13 year old young man who was washed into a ditch & drowned. Such sadness & sorrow again for our community.😢
Good morning Al and Gina. This happened to me, but it was out by the road in front of my house. The city came out and put a dump truck load of road base in mine. It was easy for them to compact and when it got wet, it hardened. No problems with it yet!
Good, AM from MN. We had lots of rain a month ago. Finally, the water levels are getting back to normal... Stay Safe... Any idea what caused the sinkhole, or maybe I missed it???
It’s funny with Nh being such a small state how different the weather can be from the seacoast to the north country. Along the coast we could really use some steady rain.
Have you seen the diesel transfer can that Daniel Arms has? It fits behind and under his toolbox, and has a locking ability for when you are off property, and it saves most of your bed space. The only thing you would lose was the bed cover.
He could do many things, but if they had a 275 or 550 tank on the property, they could get fuel delivered for less than a gas station charges. IOW, off-road diesel that has no tax.
Love getting the extra discount of my Mary Ruth B12 spray! I've been using it about 2 years now and it keeps my B12 levels where they should be! I just put 2 sprays under my tongue daily. THANKS!
I could be mistaken. My memory and the videos do not put the proper layout/perspective on things. But isn't that 'sinkhole' somewhere near your leach-field? Intermittent flows of running 'water' underneath may be eroding the soil.
I live in Northern Alabama it is extremely hot here as well. I haven’t mowed since June 28th. We haven’t got any rain since right before I mowed. Everything is dry, dry. Pop up storms keeps missing us. When it does finally rain I’m praying for a s l o w rain otherwise we are going to be in trouble. Gina’s garden looks great!
Good morning! Ive😊been trying to remember when sink holes started appearing seems like forty years ago you never heard about them. Now days they show up everywhere! The garden looks great. You’re right, Zinnias are happy flowers. Farmers work is never shone . I think your whole state got slammed by Berryl. Farming is such a risky business.
I’m amazed at your secret garden. I live in a Jersey Shore community with highways to the west and water to the east. My raised bed garden despite my attempts to keep the wildlife away, became a deer buffet! They ate cucumber, pepper, tomato, onion and basil shoots, and half the large tomato plants and the flowers and tops of all the marigolds!!! Only thing I have left is in the green stalk where I have wind chimes and pinwheels doing the “protection”.
Olivia' helps in Barn and often holds Camera filming, she doesn't need to do anything more than the Cameo's, some people that comment are weird, rude and even assaulting, she needs to keep her distance at her age, and with 500 Acres the Jealousy ( by some ) is relentless, all video producers have the same protection for their children issues, Lumnah's Family gets more !
Good Tuesday mornin Moose🐓Crossing .... hoping all is well on the homestead👍🏻 Personally, I would have put a fence around that sinkhole, and just wait to see if it is done doing what it is going to do? Maybe then, fill the deep areas with rock (you probably have a few laying around somewhere) .... at least that is what my 20/20 hindsight is telling me. Have a nice day AL, Gina (garden is looking good) & Olivia.🚜🚜🚜🍅🫑🧅✌🏻
Round rock is not a good filler because the dirt will settle around the round and underneath the rock and cause that rock to be exposed over time. Jagged edge broken rock works best.

Never ending sometimes because an underground watercourse keeps eroding underneath. I hope, as do you, there will be no more trouble.

Goooooood Morning Evalina. Stay cool and dry
Good morning, Evalina! Blessings and prayers to you always!
@samvalentine3206 Good morning, SAM 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 CIAO
I sure hope it doesn't keep sinking. What you've done to fix it sure has helped! Your cows & animals will love it when it is covered in grass! Will you use your sprayer for grass or just seed it?
Gooood morning everyone, from David in Omaha, NE. We have been having heat warnings for the last few days. Dangerous heat wave. It is summer, I guess. That was one big sinkhole Al! Glad you got it filled up. Have a great day everyone! Cheers!
Goooooood Morning David.
Lawrence Kansas here. Check the radar rain is about here. Front is headed toward us.
Good morning, David - yes, lots of heat advisories here on Long Island, NY as well!
@@Heisstrong Good afternoon David! Same here with the heat! Hope we all get a break soon!
@@samvalentine3206 Hiya Sam!
I like the views from inside the cab of the tractor. It’s an interesting perspective on what you are doing. Keep in mind that it’s pretty much impossible to hear whatever you’re saying over the noise of the tractor, though.
Might it have been a good idea to just put a fence around the sinkhole? I know absolutely nothing about the subject and it’s probably a temporary solution at best.
Gina’s garden looks great! I consider the strawberry a small payment for all of the work she’s been doing in the garden.
That hurricane and her remnants made a huge mess along her path! Take care and be careful. Ken’s Karpentry channel had some horrendous footage of the flooding in a small town near his home.
WOW 😂 with the sand & silt piled & spread we can see how HUGE that SINKHOLE really was.
A very good morning from Gatwick wishing you all a pleasant and happy day 🎉
Goooooood Morning Hyland
Good morning, Jim - thank you and wishing you the same!
What caused the sinkhole? Many people have found that filling a sinkhole after it appears does no good unless you find and fix what CAUSED the sinkhole. If you have limestone under that area and it has dissolved out, you might find the sinkhole swallows all your work and reopens even LARGER than this time.
Good Morning all!! Looking good Al I'm sure you will get it sorted out!! Garden looks great Gina! Hope Brutus and all the animals are doing well!! Stay blessed all!!
Goooooood Morning Eric
Good morning, Eric - thank you and hope you and yours also stay blessed!
Beryl left my area NE of Detroit, MI with around 3" of rain. Our backyard French drain could not keep up with it and we did experience some temporary flooding. It all resolved within a few hours after the rain stopped. That was the first time the drain was extremely overwhelmed.
Great video Gina All we all are doing tbe best we can...
If the rock has snow it’s snowing, if rock is dry & hot it’s sunny, if it’s wet it’s raining ☔️ ❤
If the rock is missing...Tornado 😅
If the rock is "ROCKING" it's an earthquake !!!
If the Vans a-rockin don't come knocking !
What the F is this 💩
old Newfie saying the weather lol have a great day
Too bad you didnt have time to put seed down. Gina, im surprised your garden is so pretty with no fencing and so many critters around. I cant keep one with the deer without fence.
Past 2 days of rain , 50 mile west of Chicago we got 8" of rain plus a couple hail storms
A cave? A mine? You have several old settlers in your area. It's worthy to check that out.
Al when you drop a load of silt, sand or road rock in a pile and you back drag it to level it out jam the loader handle forward which should put the bucket in float configuration which makes the bucket float as you backup spreading the material making it easier to smooth it out

Good morning from Missouri!

Good morning, Cary - thanks and I hope you and yours have a wonderful week as well!

Good morning Sam!
Your up early. 🌞🌞🌞
Hope it went well with Burle. My son lives west of Houston and was under it when it hit land. Luckily he is fine but exwife lost the huge, very old oaks in her yard and water in the house and under.
I love Zinnia's. Have a patch of them every year in my yard.
I live in Idaho and we're under a heat dome. Weeks over 100 deg. Feels like the high desert is reclaiming itself. Be safe and good luck.
Al, try back digging N to S and then E to W. That will help level out the high spots
Good morning Lumnah Acres … as I’ve said before you need a 3 point tipper trailer for your tractor and a second tractor so while the trailer is on one you can fill with the other.
Goooooood Morning Martin. That sure would come in handy
Good morning, my kind friend Martin! Hope all is well and you're having a great week!
@@samvalentine3206good morning to to you my dear overseas friend I hope you’re as well as I am, please have yourself a blessed week and keep smiling. 😊😊😊
@@1MartinWaite - You give me reason to smile even more, thank you!
You have a large "Seep".
Fortunately it is focused in one area. You have had a lot of rain and the hill or slope is saturated so now it comes out.
All the sand and silt in the world won't help it. It just adds to the soup hole. It is too soft of material and it has no cohesion to solidify.
You need to dig some drainage to the woods back there to help it leave that area to a lower location!
We didn’t get a direct hit from Hurricane Beryl in Nova Scotia, but the level of flooding & damage was terrible & we sadly lost a 13 year old young man who was washed into a ditch & drowned. Such sadness & sorrow again for our community.😢
Oh no poor family. May he rest in peace.

Good morning from Missouri!
I hope you have a wonderful week.

Good morning Al and Gina. This happened to me, but it was out by the road in front of my house. The city came out and put a dump truck load of road base in mine. It was easy for them to compact and when it got wet, it hardened. No problems with it yet!
Garden looks amazing!
Wow! 😮 You have been given quite a problem! 😢 I sure hope that sink whole area is stable now!! ❤
Good, AM from MN. We had lots of rain a month ago. Finally, the water levels are getting back to normal... Stay Safe... Any idea what caused the sinkhole, or maybe I missed it???
We buried some rocks and they must have shifted when the frost came out
Good morning, Rob!
Morning, it’s always Nice to have a Project Done…. Before the Rain…😎👍✅
It’s funny with Nh being such a small state how different the weather can be from the seacoast to the north country. Along the coast we could really use some steady rain.
With the rain comes greener pastures!
Have you seen the diesel transfer can that Daniel Arms has? It fits behind and under his toolbox, and has a locking ability for when you are off property, and it saves most of your bed space. The only thing you would lose was the bed cover.
He could do many things, but if they had a 275 or 550 tank on the property, they could get fuel delivered for less than a gas station charges. IOW, off-road diesel that has no tax.
Love getting the extra discount of my Mary Ruth B12 spray! I've been using it about 2 years now and it keeps my B12 levels where they should be! I just put 2 sprays under my tongue daily. THANKS!
Gina, your secret garden lovely and so productive. ❤
I am amazed that the local fauna (elk & deer, etc) have not stripped it of the edibles!
I like that 'Hard Drivin'' Music You put down with filling the 'hole'...!!

Good morning, Tony!
@@samvalentine3206 Good Morning Sam.
good day Tony from the Emerald Isle .
Tony good morning
Thank you so much for showing us the garden can't believe how everything has grown. Great work guys love your channel.
I could be mistaken. My memory and the videos do not put the proper layout/perspective on things.
But isn't that 'sinkhole' somewhere near your leach-field?
Intermittent flows of running 'water' underneath may be eroding the soil.
I can't understand why you don't use an electric water heater for hot water in the summer. You have plenty of solar power.
Only few month summer, some times Winter is early and some times Winter stays late !
I live in Northern Alabama it is extremely hot here as well. I haven’t mowed since June 28th. We haven’t got any rain since right before I mowed. Everything is dry, dry. Pop up storms keeps missing us. When it does finally rain I’m praying for a s l o w rain otherwise we are going to be in trouble.
Gina’s garden looks great!
Good morning! Good luck on predicting rain!
Good morning, and have a wonderful day

Good morning, Travus!
Good morning Modern Steaders! I love my Mary Ruth's lotion!
Good morning, Frances!
Good morning everyone! AL & Gina & Ms. Olivia God Bless everyone just put the TYM in cruise control AL 😂 that tractor is a Beast…! God Bless
Goooooood Morning Doug. It sure is.
Good morning, Doug!
Good morning! Ive😊been trying to remember when sink holes started appearing seems like forty years ago you never heard about them. Now days they show up everywhere!
The garden looks great. You’re right, Zinnias are happy flowers.
Farmers work is never shone . I think your whole state got slammed by Berryl. Farming is such a risky business.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m amazed at your secret garden. I live in a Jersey Shore community with highways to the west and water to the east. My raised bed garden despite my attempts to keep the wildlife away, became a deer buffet! They ate cucumber, pepper, tomato, onion and basil shoots, and half the large tomato plants and the flowers and tops of all the marigolds!!! Only thing I have left is in the green stalk where I have wind chimes and pinwheels doing the “protection”.
So sorry, its heart breaking.
Miss feeding and you and Olivia getting eggs 😊 where is NY city ? I sure missed a bunch miss when Olivia quit the farm job ( cameo appearances ) ❤️👍😊
Olivia' helps in Barn and often holds Camera filming, she doesn't need to do anything more than the Cameo's, some people that comment are weird, rude and even assaulting, she needs to keep her distance at her age, and with 500 Acres the Jealousy ( by some ) is relentless, all video producers have the same protection for their children issues, Lumnah's Family gets more !
Al, why dont you invest in a small dump truck. Save alot of trips with tractor. 😊
I’ve been keeping my eye out for one. But I haven’t found one yet
Tropic Storm by the time it got to you. We added and extra gallon of water as the patten past US IN Houma La
Hello from South Africa 👋. Enjoy your day everyone.
It will be interesting to see if it holds up or keeps sinking

Rain is a blessing in the southwest right now. It is so dry out here and hot🥵🙏🏾
Good Tuesday mornin Moose🐓Crossing .... hoping all is well on the homestead👍🏻 Personally, I would have put a fence around that sinkhole, and just wait to see if it is done doing what it is going to do? Maybe then, fill the deep areas with rock (you probably have a few laying around somewhere) .... at least that is what my 20/20 hindsight is telling me. Have a nice day AL, Gina (garden is looking good) & Olivia.🚜🚜🚜🍅🫑🧅✌🏻
Round rock is not a good filler because the dirt will settle around the round and underneath the rock and cause that rock to be exposed over time. Jagged edge broken rock works best.
