Is it possible? Making An Organic Pool for Goat Yoga

I must admit I had not heard of goat yoga before I met Fran on one of my DIY pool courses. She had this vision of a pool for goats - the concept of which I found befuddling but intriguing . This film contains images of yoga and strangely hypnotic goats.

What a great film! I hope you do another when more plants are added and stuff!

[@organicpools-davidpaganbutler]

There is a saying here in the US ... Its about one particular state Wyoming . They say .... " Wyoming where men are men and sheep are nervous "

7:20 How deep should the regeneration zone be? I heard 90cm deep...Is that 90cm of gravel.

[@scrumpymanjack]

I'm pretty sure David is talking about the water depth, not the depth of the substrate.

[@organicpools-davidpaganbutler]

Hi Nandodando, The regeneration zone can slope down to 1m deep for the large lilies. Especially for warmer climates, basically the deeper the better. Normally, the depth of water slopes down to 70cm (with 30cm of gravel layers) but it all depends on the size of the pool and the space available.

Nice crocs David

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Amazing as always! One question, how long does it take to stabilize a planktonic community?

[@roymeharg9926]

Would you be able to say if fish could live in one of your ponds without hurting the balance? Or if a pong could be built in a hot climate?

[@organicpools-davidpaganbutler]

No fish. see my other films for example of pools other people have made in warm climates.

Might not be relaxing for the boy but sure looks like the magpie is relaxed. 😂

[@goooooooogle]

goat?! okay, time for yoga barbeque

[@fabioaraujo1477]

Amazing 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@wijesekerafamily]

Son might enjoy yoga more if he didn’t have a magpie on his back trying to attack him 😂. Question- is it possible to have koi in an organic pool ie dual purpose?

[@sourabhdubey4465]

At 6:39 dive 👌

[@stephan2357]

🤣10:48 MAGPIE yoga! 👏🤣

I was under the impression that gravel was an option for these pools? I know he have used sub soil for his own ponds in the manual and videos which I own. I am half way through making my own and had intended to use just 20mm gravel... Anyone else with experience of substrates? If using gravel for the bulk of it would sand or soil mixed through help?

[@organicpools-davidpaganbutler]

Hi Brian, a 50:50 mix of sand and gravel/ pea shingle is used in most cases.

[@MrBsmurfy]

@@naphtalilittle8720 thanks! I had seen- and forgotten- this video so tha ks for the reminder

[@MrBsmurfy]

@@organicpools-davidpaganbutler that's great david. Thanks for response!

[@billycrotty4102]

@@organicpools-davidpaganbutler I'm half way through doing a reasonable size pool, the generation zone is deep enough I think, as it's on clay do you think I could just cut through the gio textstyle Iv put under the gravel and just plant my plants directly into the clay? I intend to have airlift pumps running perforated pipe under the shingle.iv diverted all my roof water into my pond so I'm now waiting on the rain and being a big roof I think it will fill it fairly quickly. Every one thinks I'm mad but Iv been following you and your ponds for sometime, I have faith 😃😆

Getting to watch you attempt to do Hot Yoga in a pink tie dye T shirt was totally worth wasting 11:08 minutes of my life. Precious moments.

[@romawild4410]

Funny magic simplicity

[@TomOkkaTom]

Hi David, not that it's personally bothering me but I think that Fran might be revealing a bit more here than she intended. 9:15 . I would suggest that if you can't edit the video, delete this comment. Would have sent you a private message but didn't see the option.

[@salvadorpalma8173]

lol, incredibly nobody else seems to have seen it. I came to the comments to see if I was the only one.

[@Geezerelli]

I raised goats in Sonoma 😂

[@scrumpymanjack]

Cearly very frustrating experience - student promises the world (ie. goat yoga), goes away, ignores everything you taught her about pool dimensions/ratios, doesn't bother with the plants bit and then, on top of all that, fails to deliver on the goat front. Good thing you only had to drive 300 miles to get there!

[@organicpools-davidpaganbutler]

It was worth it. And the pool is on the mend.

[@r3sistxwampa685]

thumbs Up xD

[@kombiblyer]

I am getting conflicting reports on how to deep the regeneration zone should be...Anything from 30 - 100cm? I have also read that 100cm is needed to form a decent biofilm. I'm in Cape Town SA , Mediterranean climate Was this the minimum you talked about - 15 cm shingle and 15cm sand and shingle mix (30 cm in total ) in this video - ..- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXPIi6OiicRoo80 Thanks - absolutely love your video's - CLASSIC!

[@sonyj87]

Leave goats alone......

[@Geezerelli]

Yoga or yogurt?😂

[@mrtjackson]

So what happened to Frans pool, did you fix it?
