5 Inches Of Rain Floods The 5 Acre Pond And My Farm

It's called tannin, the staining from leaves and organic material.

[@Manoffire260]

Like tea!

[@TheBrushcutter]

I have a new property with a tiny pond(probably ¼ to ⅓ of an acre) on it. The water in that pond is black from years of leaves and straw falling in it.

[@TheBrushcutter]

@@BravoSeven do you mean Black Creek, the one that converges with the Pascagoula near Vancleave? If so, I worked doing oil and gas exploration all over that area. I've swam and waded everything wet in that area, and you are correct, that creek ain't called Black Creek because it was nighttime when it was found.🤣. Always gave us the willys when we had to cross it because you just can't see far into that water. The Eskatawpa is also dark stained and fast flowing down in that area. I remember the old bridge on Bloody 98 that crossed it was a highway nightmare 😬 there were big sections of the concrete guardrails missing that had been replaced with sections of heavy chain and cables. That was absolutely the most terrifying bridge I ever remember crossing. I know I'm way off subject here but there was a girl who would cut my hair in Lucedale who prior to going to barber school was an EMT. The stories she told about the wrecks on the bridge and highway were horrific, I still remember some of those stories today. That was 42 years ago...

Good for boilers

[@heavy_dayze88]

Yup, tannin. Came here to say the same thing. Learned this keeping freshwater fish tanks over the years.

[@paullangjahr4071]

No doubt your hard work has paid you back. What a property to relax and enjoy your time in peace and quiet.

[@richparks1966]

The Tannin in the leaves darkens the water.

[@vinnyhern]

Bealy Good & Chris both made a video about a pond so nice I had to watch it twice😂😂😂

[@twlyons1]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It's good to see the water aerated after the ponds ,, I too like the wind through the grass sound and smell, nothin like it :)

[@duaneayers6117]

Finally! It's all finished. Great Work Chris 👍

[@charleschapman2428]

That flooded boat and the unfinished dock is a crying shame 😂

[@stevelutzke9600]

Another advantage of a boat filled with water is that it acts as a great theft deterrent? 🙂

[@everestyeti]

Like you say Chris, when the ponds finished, with all those white Oaks it sure is going to look pretty. 👍🤗

[@twodogsandtheirfamily]

It's called Tannin in the water, pretty normal in most creeks in the woods.

[@timl3605]

Nice job Chris! You know your doing good in life/ business when you can spend some time & get along with your customers like you do.

[@pinwizz69]

Actually Chris, I don't think any of your subs doubted your work would fail in any possible way. Those who do haven't been paying attention to your past pond builds. Those of us who had complete confidence in you can't wait for the next pond build you take on. We're ever bored, never let down. It's especially awesome niw that you're working on your pond.

[@bradcasstevens1207]

I wish you were closer to me!! I have a pond I want fixed and nobody I have talked to even has 1/10 the knowledge that you have about a pond. Chris your the man!!

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

I agree. You know your ponds. Never would have started❤❤😂😂

[@febbral]

Chris, with all the pond builds, have you given any thought to building a small hydro electric generator to power your house or farm, you have the capability to build up a head of storage water and release to power the hydroelectric generator turbines.

[@dennisstolte1103]

I like this type of follow-up video on the good work you’ve done.

[@katherinerose446]

That's a beautiful field of grass

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Chris, you did an excellent job with Geoff’s 5 acre pond. The rye grass pasture at your place is so lush, can’t wait to see it cut & baled😊

[@stevekissel605]

Beautiful. Great video 👍 👍

[@heatherlane9270]

LetsDig18 builds a pond - it will fill, no doubt about it. Minnow was also included :) Great work on a beautiful pond in such a lovely setting - peaceful and serene. Loved the floaties - you might see a man but the boy always lives within.

[@retrodad6864]

Having watched Bealys pond from clearing to completion I can only say it’s been an amazing transformation. You should be proud of yourself. Looking forward to your pond build. Speaking of hay. There’s a fellow KZbinr Trevor Bales (his real name) he does nothing but plant, cut & bale hay all day. Trevor would no doubt give you some good advice. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍

[@doritleis2773]

A Visit by the 5 Acre Pond! A happy Mr Bealy, the Pond Full and the Overflow workt faultless! On the Farm all wonderful green. The Rain have flood great Parts the Wood! The Place from the new to building Pond, have You make a flowing off, a farther Work can always beginning. You have all Perfect make however! 👍👌

[@stevendufresne9994]

Thanks Chris for the Great Video 👍👍

[@donnamullins2089]

Great job Chris. Beautiful pond. Water is flowing like crazy.

[@babsyred9710]

Bealys pond is amazing.Great work Chris and can't wait to see yours all nice and finished 👍🏻

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.

[@fabulousfabrications1985]

That’s just a brilliant way to build a dock ! Like a deck for a backyard with joist hangers that are metal and are just going to rust in no time and then nothing holding that thing together

[@robmatthews7972]

Okefenokee Swamp in S. Ga. is dark water from rotted vegetation too - the stain is from 'tannic acid'. Chris is correct.

[@johnblecker4206]

Your main road seems to have held up great to the weather and your new pond with springs is starting to take off.

[@terryrogers1025]

I had no doubt about Bealy Goods pond filling up because I don’t think you would have even started that project if there was any doubt. Looking forward to seeing your pond going in and how much and what quality you get out of first cutting of hay on the hay field, be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for the tag along video sir, enjoyed it.

[@robinlane4939]

Boys having fun...lol. And how nice it must be to have a place like you do, Chris, to walk around and enjoy the peace and quiet.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

That sure is a beautiful piece of land. Thanks for sharing Chris.

[@george8873]

Looks great, both the Bealy Good pond and your hay field.

[@TheBrushcutter]

Tell Geoff the sooner he gets all the grass growing over the bare ground the sooner the water will clear up. It's really looking good... Bealygood.😂

[@paulbriggs8035]

Waiting to see the S.S. Letsdig18 floating in your pond Chris!!

[@spencer6764]

Awesome video Chris 👍 I never had any doubt about your dirt work because if it won't work you say so because that's how you roll. I enjoy your videos because of the honesty and the info you share. 👍👍

[@dixiebourne752]

Chris I would never doubt any of your work you do amazing jobs no matter what it is.

[@karuza82]

😮

[@chrispy104k]

7:30 - The colour is from the "Tannin" in the leaf and forest vegetable matter.

[@shadow83blk]

Maybe two little arched bridges over the inflows would be nice.

[@myrrdinanderson]

Very cool! I love follow up videos like this!

[@hydraulic-hum]

loved the walk around your new farm albeit wet .. nice in the woods

[@johnroberts8475]

Glad we got to see it finally full and the grass growing all around, honestly Chris it couldn't look better what a wonderful area that has turned to be, nicely done.

[@Kanooky_Jones]

You guys are like 2 kids playing around.good times.

[@alwayssearching1882]

Always good to see the overflow in operation.

[@Mtlmshr]

Congratulations on your hay field it looks great, I look forward to a video of you guys harvesting it all!

[@steveanderson9290]

Very nice job on the overflow drain. I just installed a 500 foot one on my 1/4 acre pond. My budget for materials was only 2 hunnert bucks, so hydrodynamic design took a back seat to the budget, but it seems like it has enough head to keep itself clean. Time will tell I suppose.

[@davemi00]

The Brown water is from Tannins in Acorns, Trees, Leaves etc. acidic Ph

[@bigjon1558]

Hey Chris, love seeing and hearing all the natural water features flowing on your property. They're quite chill and relaxing!

[@jameshendrick6476]

It's tanic assid that turns the water brown. You are right about the pine needles , and vegetation though that's where it comes from.

[@michaelpage1796]

When you asked Why the water was closer on one end of the dock than the other,my answer would have been that the guy who dug it did not dig it level.

[@williamsrmonroe8406]

The dock is not level

[@100mphClub]

HAHAHA... nice one!

[@jamielee9350]

Love this video Chris. I have always said " You can dig a hole in a day , but it takes years to become a pond " ..

[@jamesholtman4912]

Beautiful site!!!

[@huntz3215]

Boat just needs a Periscope

[@conniecorbett474]

Great video, great 5 acre pond! We love seeing your farm pond and beautiful field of grass!

[@jiggsborah7041]

Great stuff. Just great. Can't wait to see what first you stock up with

[@Todd.Roberts]

I didn’t think that the 5 acre pond would fill up so quick

[@buck3409]

Tea colored is from dissolved organics. The reddish or orange color we get here in the southeast is from one or two or all three of oxidized iron, manganese,magnesium.

[@mischef18]

Great video update of the 5 acre pond and how things are going at your place bro. Safe travels

[@randycharest4507]

I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

[@ronthacker211]

That input creek would be a nice place to build a scenic wooden bridge.

[@wayneullman5079]

Looking good!

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Chris 🇺🇸

[@sherryhigdon1817]

Coming along nicely 😊

[@mikeschian1163]

If you think that water is dark, you should see the Tahquamwnon Falls in Michigan

[@charlottemusser5484]

Beautiful

[@Kog_media]

It’s looking great, really glad to see the water flow and brown color flowing in👍 Bealy Good, on your next vacation, take Chris with you to Copenhagen 😇

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool video. All the rust from all those leaves turns the water rusty. What a great looking project. Enjoyed watching the progress ✌️ 😎

[@rondastump8930]

Enjoy the fruits of ur efforts; absolutely beautiful!!! U are blessed to receive so much rain. Midwest is so dry. Thank u so much for video! God's blessings and be careful.

[@brucemanning388]

Two clowns having a good time together! Enjoy yourselves!

[@mr.brooks3748]

That 2nd pond looks like it could be a secret fishing spot full of monsters

[@harrykeel8557]

I think we got that much the last weekend of March. And it took out just about every culvert in Chambers country, Alabama. Not only that but it also caused the nearby city of LaFayette, Al., to curtail water use caused it cut the dam at the city's lake for water into.

[@brunomckay1875]

We call that water colour BRACKISH, its actually caused by the tannins in the rotting vegetation.

[@smileywilson9972]

❤the Bealey good pond 😮

[@Gotblade]

That overflow makes me wonder about some kind of small hydroelectric unit for charging portable power stations. Like for use on the island or elsewhere on the property.

[@thumperrabbit6848]

Stunning pond bro

[@rossnolan2883]

Wow 🤩

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

No, not everyone. I certainly didn't. Just another beautiful pond project successfully completed. On to the next one.

[@CK-yi6pc]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇱 Nice work….

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

😮turtle Lake is definitely looking great.

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have greet day.

[@webefree3125]

The Brown Color of the Water is from the Tannic Acid from the Rotting Material in the Forrest!!

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love your take on the lake and thanks for showing the aftermath on your farm. Question, rather than hay, have you considered silage? The field is gorgeous and I love the sound of the little waterfall. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Brown organic tanned water might be amazing for lawn.

[@AnonyMole]

Like tea. Tannins & lignens. May have to lime the pond to keep the acidity down (tanic acid).

[@GARDENER42]

When I saw Mr B's version, I thought the outflow would likely straighten itself in time. Your own place is looking great. Done any gold panning downstream of the quartz? 😉🙃🙂

[@kylejones2075]

Ya, thanks for sharing 😅

[@martineastburn3679]

Need a fish net or minnow net to catch in the overflow. Nice job.

[@robcates2383]

That looks so amazing!!!!!?!

[@keithdunlap2701]

Hell, I don't know why anyone would have thought it wasn't going to fill up ?? Myself , I thought it would have been filled up a lot sooner than it was.... Man, your hay field really turned out nice Chris !! just a waiting game now, until all that water dries on up... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Day Man !! And, On too the Next !!

[@bosshogg3548]

Great job buddy 👍🏻

[@joywest8411]

🕵Quality work, as usual. Chris is top-notch..😌

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

You did a great job on Bealy Good's pond and I am sure yours will be even better. Have you eve thought about getting a V-bucket for the mini? A18" bucket would be just right and I am sure you could use it a lot to drain some of your wetland. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

[@Blazer02LS]

I would suggest building a couple bridges over the inflows, but at the rate the dock is being completed I'm not saying a thing.... LOL OH for the boat do the same thing they do in most areas, run it onto the dock and pop the drain.

[@garymessina1609]

maybe non-believers believe Chris you are the pond King great video thanks Chris

[@ramtuff2007]

good pond

[@cathiwim]

That truck was aredneck swimming pool!

[@DarrenChilvers]

Keep the waterfall for overflow but make more of a feature waterfall, be nice to have a feature waterfall feeding the pond aswell as overflow

[@dhabbott41]

The state of North Carolina wants all swamp land and low lying areas preserved. It you change it any way, you have to provide the same amount of land else where.

[@bobjoncas2814]

....WOW!!!
