Tim when using a post rammer, lift from the bottom of the handles and on the dien stroke loosen your hands so the rammer goes down under its own weight and you don't get the shock through your arms of it hitting the post 💪👍

It may not be suitable but as a short term solution for the water a wolfcraft drill pump might be a good option to get the water out of the brook to the trough. If not suitable for this I can see it being very useful around the farm for emptying water troughs etc.

Honestly the best channel on youtube at the moment.. When the pigs came back I was hoping for a velociraptor scene through the grass. Drone footage once a week would be super nice to see of how much they get through. Dependent on what you're planning on doing with that area will inform what you throw in after the pigs, I'd be tempted to look at nitrogen fixing crop or grass just to cover it over, grass pea or similar would be good or similar to use as supplemental animal feed in the future (once you get through the mountain of bales) - Also, If you don't have a land management consultant I'd look into it, the way it looks like you plan to use the land you are in the perfect spot to make use of a lot of the new grants coming through in Ag and you'd probably get some really good ideas for other small things to look into in the future (lodges etc.)
@TheRestorationCouple
@TheRestorationCouple 2 года назад
Yeah, pigs doing a great job one week in. The current aim is to sow a rooting mix through that side which is a blend of grasses long with some cover/green manures in the open areas. Still need to see it through a few more seasons, as right now it's dry enough to get the sheep over there for a couple of months. Otherwise, that side of the brook is cattle or pigs only really. Have had a few chats regarding grants so just need to see what requirements are as far as the business side of things are. 👍

Always love seeing your progress. Consider building your own RAM PUMP for the pigs, it'll keep the water butt full and the run off can keep their wallow area wet. minimum impact and no electricity needed - like you say, IFY DIY. How Does a Hydraulic Ram Pump Work? - RU-vid.

The others are on proper reels and a repurposed electric extension reel which works great. Think those wooden reels were a little 'vintage' 😬 Hose pipe reel sounds good too.

Other varieties of pigs whose ears are not drooped in front of their eyes are better at eating the grasses as opposed to rooting the ground. Nothing wrong with these - I just prefer other breeds. All can be quite gentle and really do have a startling amount of intelligence.

Hoping for something lighter as it's super soft down there is the winter so mule/gator type might be a good fit, especially if we can engineer bridge to accommodate. Otherwise it's an old pickup.

Why not set up a webcam so that everyone can enjoy the exploits of the pigs in real-time? Useful for security and just in case any of them get into trouble. A form of crowdsourcing that could also be monetised if so desired.

Please don't take this the wrong way and maybe I have missed something. But why are you spending so much time on the land and live stock? Especially when it could be used on the accommodation build? I totally get you have a duty to upkeep the land and indeed improve it. But? Again please don't take this as a negative. I love your videos and the whole journey.
@TheRestorationCouple
@TheRestorationCouple 2 года назад
It’s one of the main reasons why we moved here. While we could spend every hour of the week building, we still won’t be living on the farm for several months so plenty of time to pace it. Plus you can’t really fit trusses and clad cabins as a family.. (unfortunately!) 😂 Also, without the livestock it would be hours of tractor work, strimming and spraying to do what we are able to leave to them.

@@TheRestorationCouple Also why strim and mow when you can have livestock to do the job for you and you get a nearly free dinner or 10 out of then. Love the work that you do and the way that you do it. Its called doing a "proper job" for those from a certain county. Thanks for posting
