Water in a tank would be useful for a bushfire, make sure you put a STORZ fitting on it for the BFB and a SWS sign on the gate to help them.

[@salo7227]

G'day Ben, congrats on the bore! I just wanted to throw my two cents in on the par 3 design you showed at the start of the vid. As a golf course architect nuffy for most of my life, it looks great, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. Please don't build the bunker numbered three in the diagram. The reason being is it will totally take away any option of a ground game, or the ability to run a ball onto the green. You already have the dam there as a major hazard, you certainly should therefore leave yourself options for playing a variety of shots into the green. Just bombing high short irons in would get boring after a while, but running 7 and 8 irons in provides variety and challenge. Also, with that front bunker, it'll take a monumental effort for your kids to hit over it, as opposed to letting them run the ball up and on to the green. So I would suggest removing that front bunker (labelled 3), and instead continue with the fairway grass up to the apron of the green. I'm sure this will provide you with many more options, and far greater playability.

[@TiffCat]

this guy is right

[@Quickstepz-OG]

💯 need options to play different shots on your everyday par. awerosme dude for suggesting it. That is very professional advise.

[@LawnTips]

Mate, great advice!! What are your thoughts on putting that bunker on the back and bringing it into play with the other tee box?

Brian's a champ! CBJ got a great bore for us just over the hill from your place at 34m. Flows well enough not to need a tank! Loving your vids-very informative and entertaining.

[@connormitchell9396]

So happy we finally have the bore. Bring on another golf project

[@TheOfficialScrub]

Woooooooooooooo liquid gold! congrats!

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

Last Aussie 😁. Ben , great insight into the process mate . 😎

[@Whittaz85]

I reckon Schnitty would give CBJ a run with his digging skills. Glad to see he was there to supervise.

[@bbtank3000]

Finally! So excited for this part!

[@stupac10]

Best video yet! Can’t wait to see the plumbing and this thing hooked up

[@garysheehan6850]

Love the EAL cap. Good to see you sharing the golfing love.

[@danielslawncare]

Yeah boi 💪🏼 time to get these projects really happening now 🤙🏼 Can’t wait to see that Par 3 taking shape

[@richardportelli1983]

Great explanation on how the drilling works! You should think about stocking the dam with some native fish like perch?

[@anthonyb8208]

Great vid Ben, good explanation of the process.

[@siggi5395]

Nice Water is good vor the lawn 😁

[@jasperirving007]

beautiful !!!!

[@-nellie-m3711]

That was interesting Ben, Thanks for sharing, my hubby’s cousins own a drilling business up here in Queensland, but out in the country part of Queensland, and I’ve often wondered how it all works, looks like Schnitty was having a Great time also Lol 😂, he looked so cute sleeping with your little girl on Facebook, I’m sure she loved it as much as he did, he’s a little inside puppy 🐶. Cheers from Janelle 😎😎🐶

Huge fan of this project! Can’t wait for the irrigation.

[@abowden5079]

Think i'll need to call these blokes to aerate my lawn. Rock hard ground just laughed at my bunnings manual aerator.

[@billyjohnson4197]

Just top dressed my lawn and it’s looking good👍

[@adriangrubb8853]

Last bit I didn’t listen just kept thinking I hope dog doesn’t go down shoot 😂 perfect fit

[@ExIniTiaLD]

i like your cap

[@MRBLACK1080]

My 2 cents worth would be a grundfos solar SQF2.5-2 subbie with 6 panels on the bore pumping to the tank. Helical rotor pump will handle the head and can slow it down if bore yield ends up dropping. Then out of the tank doing the irrigation I would recommend a Franklin MHQP 5. Or a grundfos CRIE 5-5 both will give you 100lpm at 4 Bar with room to spare

[@tesstickle6035]

Can’t wait for the next Reno vid

Just perfect time! Love what you're doing!

[@johan-zs8nc]

You wont get bored with this bore...

[@MrThuggery]

Peeps who don't live in a rural setting won't fully understand this. Especially if you rely on catching your own water for everything! Very exciting when you dig it and even better when it less than 200 parts/Pmil, beautiful just like ours!

[@jocksinclair6188]

We just bought 2ha in Samford Valley. 100k L of tank storage already but trying to weigh up whether it’s worth sinking a bore. 2 active bores within 500m of us with potable water @ 20m.

[@darrtoo5767]

Are you going to get a water analysis done Ben? Just to see exactly what’s in the water.

[@LawnTips]

Definitely will 👌🏽

[@EXTREMEGARDENS_]

cool vids man

[@samistheman69]

Soooo jealous. I enquired with a few drilling companies for a bore and unfortunately they all said it wasn't worth it as my area was full of salt :(

[@dylan8285]

500 gal hour = 8 gal per min which is good but is still a low flow. For U.S folk like me, 62m= around 186ft which is an average- shallow depth well to be honest. Here In the southeast U.S , I know someone that said they have a 130 gallon per min well, idk how deep but they use it to keep a 1 acre pond topped up

[@rowanclare7093]

Yes!

[@Holdmybeer111]

Yo mate waddup that's 2 eps now without a yo mate waddup 😂

[@LawnTips]

Soz haha

[@TLF-ABC123]

does your pond normally have a bunch of sediment in it? any plans on possibly introducing any fish to it?

[@damienquinn]

WE GOT WATER, BOOooooiissS!

[@damienquinn]

Here's a cool nerdy suggestion... Use your pool water sampling kit and run some pH, alkalinity, chlorine, calcium hardness tests. If for no other reason than to wear a white jacket and carry a notepad.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Boooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggg!!!! 😂

[@liamkelly2157]

How do they determine there is water there? Is it just luck?

Dang, things are getting serious now!

[@colonelharlanddavidsanders6754]

Global Roto Moulding have a sale on 45,000L Rainwater tanks and ask for a JAZZ tank if you want it even cheaper

[@mtiken]

Coming from a place where one in every two houses has a bore for day to day water, I am not a big fan of bore considering it's long term implications. There should be some regulation around this.

[@benn4342]

Yep, we’re all screwed. But it’s because there are just too many people on the earth

[@callanmurphy9807]

Finally got it done mate, just curious on a rough costing if you don't mind all good if not mate, I remember a few videos back you Said around 30 to 40 that's all

[@LawnTips]

Talked about pricing at the end 😉

[@MrBullseye141]

Here’s a dumb 2 part question; Is it normal to have that much water just continuously spilling out of the bore hole once it’s done? Will it stop free flowing once you’ve got the irrigation pumps all setup? Genuinely curious never seen anything like it!- cheers

[@callanmurphy9807]

Could be due to the drill still running maybe lol I thought the same thing mate

That bloke operating the machine seems crazy to me not wearing any kind of mask standing in the middle of plumes of rock dust. Andesite is over 50% silica, if he's been making a habit of that it's going to catch up to him and he'll regret it.

[@LawnTips]

Hey mate, They actually wear masks all the time. He had left them in town that morning and as you can imagine they run on a tight schedule. He made sure I knew that the wear them for that reason

Great work with the bore mate. In 2002 i sunk a bore at Macarthur Grange Golf Club. Went down 120 meters, and didn't hit water. A 15k gamble that didn't work. Please get a proper water analysis of the bore water. The results will be really interesting.

Will be fine mate 👍🏽 Using all warm season grass apart from the green. Have two 20k tanks and the dam. I won’t be watering every night. Definitely is a low flow rate though

[@mkzenthusiasts]

@@LawnTips 20,000 liter tanks or 10,000 Gallons either way I have no clue how many Gallons I use to keep my lawn green. But we get 30 inches of rain on average or 76 cm plus whatever snow we get
