The BIGGEST Project I've Ever Taken On! | The Yard Geek Episode 3
After planting a forest of trees and shrubs, I was in a massive time crunch to get the irrigation system built and operational!
Subscribe and come along for the ride as I show you every satisfying detail of the construction of my acreage! From building a custom detailing studio and shop, to building a new house...that's just the beginning! The projects only get bigger as I build one of the most beautiful, unique and epic acreages around!

[@inquisitive_stranger]

Glad I found your channel.... I too will be doing the same thing on 11 acres in south Georgia... Nice to see others with the same idea

[@ignacioalmonacid6153]

I was so looking forward to this video. All looks amazing, keep up the good work.

Thank you!

No “crops” but a big garden yes!

[@alexburke7704]

[@valeriereynolds2799]

Amazing Well done. Will u dig a pond.

[@TheYardGeek]

Thank you! No plans for a pond

This is overkill for some tree irrigation.

Overkill? That’s the only way to do things! 🤣

[@joelbuchanan471]

It's not done until it's overdone is Mitch's theory. He thinks through everything he does and then tries to supersize and improve it. It will be an amazing system.

[@tantejopie268]

It sure don't seem like 4 years! I remember when you said you had a big surprise in store for all your viewers. Gosh, doesnt time absolutely fly !!! I must say that you've done so well thus far. Don't give up! Your own little piece of country will be so valuable in the way of flora and fauna, trees, ... the list is endless. I'm so proud of you and happy for you, to have your dreams come to fruition ( some of mine were stopped due to hubby's health ). Best of luck, Mitch. Keep on keeping on. ❤❤❤

[@TheYardGeek]

Thank you very much!

[@najda9736]

I agree wholeheartedly with you. I remember the announcement. It has been a pleasure and honour to watch you achieve all your accomplishments and share it with us. Thanks Mitch for inspiring all of us to achieve our goals and dreams…and learning some cool things along the way 😅

[@amandacalderon4023]

A chair at the back of the property on a clear day watching the sunset would be on a whole other level of inner peace 🤗

[@TheYardGeek]

Yes!

[@jasper2207]

Mitch…you are probably one of the most organized and methodical people I’ve ever seen. You are truly an inspiration on how to do something the right way. It’s a joy to see your projects come to fruition. Stay well!!!

EXACTLY!!!!!!

[@TheYardGeek]

Wow, thank you!

[@eugenedanker2377]

It would be great to have a tour of your new house. It's nearly as big as your shop.

[@Darsylle]

Came straight over from the yellow car.... been waiting on this :) I love both videos :) This channel is going to become one of my fave channels :)

[@TheYardGeek]

Awesome!

[@anderspjorgensen]

Amazing work Mitch 🌳🌳🌳 And remember - "weeds" are just plants that naturally thrive in your area. Many of them will bloom and create structure and diversity to your view. My best tip is don't fight them, but guide them or overpower them. Meaning leave some zones wild, and others more controlled. And plant things that overpower or overshadow weeds in select zones. Less to manage, and makes for a more exciting landscape 🌼

[@leonardo3011]

Today you presented us with two extremely satisfying videos. Thanks so much for this, Mitch. And please tell Mike we want to see him do the hard work too.

[@Nemzy789]

Mitch Build a campfire space and spend time with family 😊 u deserve it ❤️

[@santaanaroadwildman3614]

Attention to detail! And I struggle with my postage stamp Calif subdivision yard 😁 water must be abundant up in Canada tho

[@yamo_chan]

If you haven’t yet done so, I recommend making an extension to your home plumbing map to include your irrigation system. It will make your life so much easier many years down the road, or for whoever might end up buying / inheriting your place in the future.

[@TheYardGeek]

Absolutely great idea! I’ve actually done this will all the houses I’ve built….measured where everything was and took pictures, etc. it’s come in handy a few times!

[@brian102256]

Hey Mitch! Love all three channels! I assume that you'll be winterizing the irrigation system or is the pipe below the frost line there in chilly SK? Oh and another question which you may have addressed in other videos - besides Mike, do you have other siblings?

[@randallsmith7124]

Nice work Mitch... while I know it's a HUGE amount of work, it must also be extremely satisfying to realize your vision EXACTLY as you want it!

[@TheYardGeek]

It really is!

[@grogers8925]

Wow! Alot of work Mr Mitch! Bet you sleep good at night! Looks good! Wonder 🤔 how Yard will look in 5 years?? Great job!! 👍👍

[@to5msheppard]

Mitch, you’re a beast for such a young kid your channels filming editing plus all the work you’re doing is amazing. My question is you don’t have to have the irrigation pipe down farther into the ground for freezing.? I’m in California so we never have to worry about it but I thought you had to go a certain amount of inches just asking other than that amazing your property your shop everything you’re doing you’re incredible young man and I bought a lot of product and I’ve started my Golf Cart patio furniture and once in a while, car detailing just for fun make extra money cash not really a business

[@lilliethornton9353]

Mitch, I've been watching you for quite awhile now and looking at all the work you're doing, I'm really looking forward to the results. 🤗

[@nemoemanon6679]

Way to go man. Get it done while you’re young.

[@TheYardGeek]

Thank you!

[@develhuntr75]

been waiting for a new episode, love the progess

[@kaseyfarmer8232]

Why would you buy seedlings and not at least 3 ft trees,,, you are going to be in your 50's when those trees finally do what youwant them to do

[@consolw]

The more advanced the plants, the more they cost, maybe?

[@Bob-w2b8j]

Because that would be less economical, especially with planting hundreds or thousands of trees. Also availability from nurseries for that many trees

[@citibear57]

Mitch, I am really impressed with your work ethic. You certainly aren't afraid of hard work! Your efforts now are going to reward you handsomely in the future. I look foward to seeing what else you have in store for the rest of your massive yard in the years to come 😊👍

[@TheYardGeek]

Thank you!!

[@PeterEspinoza-vt5qh]

This video is absolutely so very very SATISFYING to watch. Great job all around. With filming to the work and to your yard design and even the so "KEWL" music !!! Thank you lot's! 👍👍 2 thumbs up 😉

[@TheYardGeek]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DavidWalters-k4p]

So fun seeing you getting closer to having a beautiful yard. Im surely learning a lot. Be sure that you pace yourself because you want aviod "burnout" and avoid injury.

[@joelbuchanan471]

Oh that was so fascinating. I LOVE how you explain why you're doing things and how they fit into your plans for this property. So if I understand it correctly, there is both an electric line that goes to these junction boxes as well. Are they controlled by that electric connection to then the main controller in the studio? And the water lines converge in the box so they can distribute water to individual planted areas. This is very cool. Must be comparable to how they do the irrigated lawns that rich people have for lawns. What we used to call a "sprinkler system". At the end I was chanting "throw the switch, turn that baby on". But I know you still have a bit to do there. Great update Mitch. This was so much fun. Truly a crowning achievement when this project is done. Have a great weekend! Thanks for this! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@cynthiahopkins7090]

Yippee!! Joel, You are here. No wonder Mitch keeps busy man to work his LOVE on the yard. I can't imagine how stunning is the yard. Have a nice day and an enjoyable weekend.

[@TheYardGeek]

Yep exactly! The main controller will open up each of the valves to water each tree line! It’s also got wifi so I can schedule and control everything from my phone 😎 Can’t wait to see how many leaks I have though when I turn it on 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great weekend Joel!!

Can’t wait to see this in 12, 24,48 months etc. you’re a machine

[@TheDragonhawkKnights]

All I have to say is I wish I could do something like this in my yard...this is going to be amazing once all the work is done and the trees grow. When I was 5, my grandma and I planted mugo pines all around our yard to act as a privacy wall and bird habitat. We also planted some blue spruce and lilacs and some other flowering bushes. Now that I'm an adult, my trees are 20 feet tall for the mugo pines, my blue spruce are 30+ feet tall; and with the lilacs and other flowering bushes it's a haven for bees, birds, rabbits, and I've even seen bobcat and foxes in my yard. It's sooooo cool!!!

[@wrenchdoozer]

The compressor to blow out the water lines for winter must be huge. The one that comes to do my system here in southern Manitoba is on a trailer, that said, they blow out a few zones at a time as opposed to one by one.

[@mujtebaalhajaj7428]

Can't wait for another episode

[@elliotsimpson3591]

Tilling doesn't really kill weeds, I thought. Sure, it deroots them, but they'll just grow roots that stick back into the ground and come back up. In the long run I imagine the eco buffer will try to take up enough sun that the weeds can't grow, so it seems tilling to weed is a little silly.

[@ExcellentsharkingYT]

The king is back! Goodness that is a lot of work! I know this is random but how many steps a day are you getting from this work?

[@brandonnelson3578]

I was glad to see you using emitters around your trees and shrubs. Years ago when I installed irrigations home owners would want us to use rotors to water the trees over time that causes damage, we always said imagine watering your trees with a pressure washer lol
