Farm Project; Harvesting Water to Improve Fertility of a Lifestyle Property

[@aischaparker9471]

love the A frame method, thanks so much for sharing Tim

[@martinburns3226]

Land regeneration 101. Just priceless. Congratulations Murray on the wonderful transformation of your land and thank you Tim for promoting awareness of these ancient but invaluable techniques. 🙏

[@billroks313]

Wow lots of wisedom thankyou Tim and Murray.

[@pjfmachine]

That Egyptian surveying - A frame method is golden. Stabila levels claim an accuracy of 0.5mm per metre . More than 25 times more, than required to ensure water either runs up hill or down. Disclaimer. I've meet Murray a few times. His passion for doing what he does is admirable. Regards Phil.

[@petermarles5359]

Is it possible to see a better photo of the mounder please. Thanks. Great video as usual!

[@elwood212]

That one was a ripper TIM 👍🇦🇺

[@aussiefarmer8741]

Tim good to see you are branching out to Regen farming. There is lots to discover & share on the subject. Also anybody can apply the principals on any scale. Well done. I look forward to seeing more.

Hello Tim and Murry, This was such an informative podcast, what an effective levelling device, Kind Regards to you both, KPP

[@anitawood6878]

Loved this video and the explanation of the A frame. Thanks !

[@rogerramjet1038]

Great video! Great job Murray, Geoff Lawton and Mark Shepard would certainly approve! I would love to see that disc plough in action making a swale. I have tried a box blade and a grader they do the job as well.

[@pinevale6356]

Nice tip. I've got a box blade 👍

[@slamshed]

Classic permaculture techniques, have been using them for years with great success :-)

[@EiderJChavesC2]

Great job, dear friend!. Thank you for sharing, Tim. Next time!.

[@Raj-yy7xx]

Fantastic to see Permaculture 101 farm design systems and tools. For more info lookup Permaculture by Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton. Founders and teachers of this resilience to abundance farming discipline.

[@brentonkelly3780]

Brilliant video and love the passion you guys share. Great info, thanks

[@melissagonella6137]

That is very, very cool. Thanks.

[@mattkathforth2300]

Thank-you Tim and Murray for this video. We have a steep property in northern Tasmania water run off and springs have been a real problem for land management. With what I’ve seen here I to will be able to slow the movement of water across our land and save money in costly surveying. Thanks again.

[@awbegg]

Great information, thanks Tim & Murray.

[@drazenka2583]

Great video, very informative! Congratulations Murray!👏

[@PatrolAdventuresAustralia]

Love your work Tim. Great video once again. Using the KISS principle Murray has proven that even the most undesired land can be productive.

[@iansykes2524]

would love to hear more design detail of the dam backflow contour

[@FarmLearningTim]

Lots of material still on the cutting room floor so to speak..... Might do one in the future if there is interest.

[@bretdavisdmd]

Tim, you’re super practical and super eloquent. Nice job on these vids

[@mattsmith9656]

Great stuff both, if interested Tim you should look up Geoff Lawton permaculture.

[@jfitzrecluse]

Great clip 👍👍 I’ve just started planning and planting

[@martinlee9391]

Brilliant!! Thanks Tim, and Murray. I can use every bit of this teaching on my property..And I will!

[@pinevale6356]

Amazing! Given the incredible weather volatility were now seeing this stuff is going to be essential. Thanks so much for showing us this 🙏

[@grumpydad4729]

Awesome work Murray. Thanks Tim for the great video. Still got my eyes peeled on marketplace for my twin disc unit :-)

[@pappysproductions]

I love learning this stuff. great video

[@thisisalljusttomuch]

Thank you both so much for this video. It's pure gold and could not be at a better time for me.

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

Excellent! This is something I,was looking for.

[@anthonylawrence3265]

That was excellent

[@icryostorm3727]

great vid Tim - more landscape design stuff is great - yeomans water in teh landscape stuff is always interesting as is his (and now Darren Docherty) scale of permanance for designing your property layout.

[@andrewradford3953]

That's such a simple way of following the contour. I've used a $30 level with a laser in it at night to sight the height of the overflow into the neighbours about 75m away from the dam. Its like the final Swale on my farm that harvests water, then when the dam is full it slowly overflows about half way along. Fast moving water takes away nutrients. We've used 100s of metres of tin to create large yards to rotate pigs in. You could use a small yard, with long runs of electric tape, stakes and a mower. The largest pigs will not go near a 12mm strip of tape. But little ones get under. You've got some great management practices and ideas. Hope we get some updates in coming years.

[@ronaldbarrett9148]

Great video . Murray you have done a fantastic job . Very interesting way of improving the land . Tim thanks for the video . You always bring great and useful information .👍👍👍👍

[@waynevernon6860]

Great video guys. I second the call for more information on the plough Murray uses for digging his swales. It's one thing knowing where the contour is, it's another thing driving a tractor along it accurately and making a tidy swale.

[@ozlakota1]

i have created 30-40klm in very steep country water control the 2 disc plow would have been a good to see demo done klms with that but prefer the D3C

[@proteinman1981]

Thought this was a great video, really enjoyed it. Look forward to trying done sales of my own.

[@peterwooldridge7285]

Excellent

[@duncanwalker]

Fantastic. Have you looked at Yeoman’s Keyline?

[@rowannewton8017]

Are there any legal issues / entitlement to water issues you have when harvesting through swales etc?

[@bencuthbert8915]

Thankyou! Looking to start something similar on my property. Wondering if Murray ever opens his property for tours?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Murray loves to share his ideas. contact me via my website. timthompson.ag

[@michaelclarke8507]

Wait army used that up till 1979 but had 3 legs and double up as black board holder, then laser was given too us

[@FarmLearningTim]

😂

[@Jase013]

Does Murray have a KZbin channel? If not, he should.

[@vsvnrg3263]

i would have made an a-frame that takes bigger steps than 1.5m. i'd try for 2.5m or larger. but he might have tried a wider a-frame but it may not have been better.

[@pjfmachine]

How would you think you would go, swinging a A frame longer that a modern sedan? And why bother? The point is accuracy. The level you would still be using on it, will still have the same bubble. Deviation is deviation. I calculated your proposal. 2.5 metres at the feet, 30 degree, A frame. That's 3.34 metres tall. Its higher than the Crucifix. Try dancing that down a sloped incline. I'm not sure you have fully thought that response through,

[@vsvnrg3263]

@@pjfmachine ,3.34 metres high would be a nuisance. can you explain to me why the a frame needs to be that high? the angle between the 2 legs can be increased so the overall height remains the same. more importantly, every time you screw the a frame around you alter the height of the pivoting a frame leg unless you are working on concrete or other hard ground. in these modern days i prefer to use laser levels. they are so much easier to swing around.

[@anthonyburke5656]

Egyptians and Romans would recognise his survey equipment
