What Joel Salatin Taught Me About Infrastructure on the FARM

As we continue to utilize the rented excavator to make infrastructure improvements on the property, I wanted to utilize something that I had learned from Joel Salatin by visiting his farm and even speaking with him from time to time. As we make improvements to the land, we should consider all the different place we can hold water for future use.

Nice job. Can't have to much water in the right places.

[@calvingreene90]

It looks like a skeeter hatchery.

[@jbaker4900]

Wranglerstar comment made me chuckle. He's different. You should try overalls sometime. My go to is Liberty brand. It's all I wear. Enjoyed the video as usual

[@thomasfields2082]

I'm not sure what the mosquito situation is like up there. But all that standing water looks terrifying to me down here in Florida.

[@tealkerberus748]

Slow spread sink store. How much you need to do of each depends on your site, and what you're trying to do with it.

[@chadgregory9037]

I'm in wetzel county in the process of starting a hog farm

[@toddcaskey9984]

Great job Troy

[@grantmeyer6097]

If you were to make a vid of just watching the pigs or chickens that was 4 hours i would watch it i really miss getting to see the farm life just as a day to day thing

[@tommybounds3220]

Thank you for the video

[@SmithyScotland]

Love the utilitarian channel. Hate the fashion channel.

[@davidgrimshire6671]

I found myself looking for moss. Water and shade should produce moss? As J Franklin asked aren't you worried about mosquitos reproducing in the ditches?

[@weijingburr2392]

Suspenders for the pants, belt for the gun. Simple.

[@3CreekFarms]

Great explanations as usual, Troy. Thanks.

[@jburch1544]

Good thoughts on water control. Should make one think before digging holes, swails,etc

[@davidestrich7055]

I feel your WranglerStar comment was a little out of line.

[@RedToolHouse]

It was a joke

[@sethvlieger6007]

I watch Wranglerstar so I can view his loctite collection.

I’d be interested in seeing what this looks like after the first significant precipitation event and then again after the spring rainy season. It’s definitely a cool way of controlling the run-off.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Great work and you are a caretaker for your ad fa and them amazing animals out on that nice farm. Be Safe and thanks for sharing. God Bless You

[@billykowalski4305]

Love watching stuff get tore up by machines

[@sixosixo]

Greta video, as usual. Always enjoy watching your channel.. don’t change a thing. I especially remember the video where you explained hot to tell what trees were what species. Take care.

[@bwillan]

Are you not concerned with breeding insects (mosquitoes) with the creation of standing water areas?

[@TN-Land-Manager]

As stated before, your land management videos are some of my favorite. Keep them coming. Do you have issues with mosquitos in your area? Never heard you talk, swat, or complain about mosquitos or ticks?

[@markbrayton5391]

There something about moving dirt that's rewarding, I always enjoyed it. Nice access to your property now, I see that your dad enjoys playing with the big boy toys. I enjoy watching most channels where it involves shooting, house repair, or improving your land.

[@Sparkeee1978]

Caution in some states, as after you do this, the state can come in and tell you that you now have a wetland, and they can section off an area of no further disturbance forever, including a buffer zone as well. I agree its a wonderful idea, for lots of reasons, just understand your local governance, codes, and likelyhood of intrusion on your property rights.

[@user-io3hy4zb4s]

How do we figure that out in our states?

[@chadgregory9037]

This is why we have guns

[@johnthompson6656]

"Go watch Wranglerstar" !! Lmao

[@Kamikaze3557]

Mosquito’s ?

[@colleen36]

Haha I never noticed what you are wearing. Just trying to learn from you

[@jethrob258]

Do you have to worry about making snake sanctuaries when building these water catchments? Just wondering

[@RedToolHouse]

No. I have never worried about snakes. We have some but they are all welcome.

[@TheOnlySgtRock]

"If you want fashion advice go watch Wranglerstar." Haha. Good one.

[@JohnDobak]

It's nice to have water for farming and self sufficiency but I can't help but think you're dooming yourself to ever present mosquitos.

[@ronnisimmons9992]

Maybe you could find out how Joel mentions using pigs as pond sealers

[@apostlepaulvining5688]

Happy New Year RTH & family may the God of our Salvation grant ur family His Shalom Peace of His Holy Spirit. Be prosperous in Spirit & Truth and ur be prosperous in health love in Christ Jesus Rev Paul M Vining Sr

[@wykeishacraft6820]

A Great Channel😄😄

[@KaleidoscopeJunkie]

Bentonite Montmorillonite (Koi Clay) is a cheap powder that koi breeders use to seal their ponds. It has excellent mineral content. Just sprinkle the powder on the soil or on the top of the water. If you get any standing water you can add Azolla. Is is excellent food source for livestock and people (in a crunch). -KJ

[@user-io3hy4zb4s]

Which type of adorable? Some are federal noxious weeds, so can't be transported across state lines.

[@KaleidoscopeJunkie]

@@user-io3hy4zb4s I got Mine on ebay from North Fla.

[@jdvlang464]

"Go watch Wranglerstar" Bahahahah, I tired of Wranglerstar quickly. The channel is clickbait and little else.

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

🤣 wrangler star is my favorite. Sorry. Just saying! 😂

[@DavidMiller-jc4pl]

Are you originally from Wv ?

[@gardenchums9625]

I'd like to see your overview plan to see, other than experimental, why things are being done where they are being done. Do you have a 5 year plan, a 10 year plan? I'm just wondering what your thought process in placing roads, culverts or anything out in the hinterlands of your property. I have seen plans but never really seen how people go from site map to planning to implementation. I don't need a college education about it, just a quick overview. Thanks

[@JamesKnighttx]

LMMFAO!!! Wranglestar comment made me spit out my drink lol.

[@jasonelliott2055]

BWAHAHAA....if you want fashion sense go watch Wranglerstar.....he's so click bait.

[@bullpuppy689]

oh great now i got to talk the old woman into letting me biuld a pond...lol

[@dw5523]

I belly laughed at the Wranglerstar comment. I followed him for the longest time, but all his preaching got tedious (and I’m not talking about his Christianity).

[@colleen36]

Haha I never noticed what you are wearing. Just trying to learn from you
