Come along with me as I spend all my money at Home Depot, destroy my arms building a fence and going full on Bill Murray from Caddyshack on a gopher!
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!

Yes Mitch, we enjoy your videos and love watching them😌 I have one teeny tiny request, if possible of course. If it suits you, and circumstances allows it, can you make them a little longer? xx
@HxTurtle
@HxTurtle 7 месяцев назад
that is planned! 😉 -- he starts slowly. I think, it's a wise decision. it's a new channel and something like, "nah, I don't even click on a video that's half an hour long"-inhibition definitely exists. so, everything has to be taken into consideration and is at a slight trade-off at the beginnings.

My family has 2.5 acres, and my step-dad has made it his life mission to conquer the gophers! He's so passionate about it he can be scary. He's always trying to come up with ways to win the gopher war. 🤣 He's weird but I love him.

Like these videos? Yes. More, please. I especially like the explanations of decisions, your logic and reasoning. Even backing into the garage to park is preparation for the next time you go anywhere. I have often wondered about how much time it takes to get some of the shots in your videos. I may be part of that older generation of which you speak and have been using computers since the 70s and found your property on Google maps in about 10 minutes. Don’t worry, I won’t tell.

hi Shannon and super nice seeing you on her 👋 awesome observation. yes, you definitely have a good eye for the detail (that's how you knew how to find him. a constant concern of countless many RU-vidrs. I know one with over half a million subscribers on here. it's really difficult to avoid being doxed online. even when you think you play it super safe with everything you show, people still figure ways-including sending air tags to their Po boxes! 😲 I myself am eerily good in finding things and usually have a good dimensional awareness.) but what was my point again? yeah, I started because when I was in the army, it was mandatory for us to pull in backwards every single time. I mean, you might need to get away quickly, you never know. -- cheers! 😊

I know Mike makes a cameo from time to time but I think it would bring a little bit more depth to you and this grand project if we saw you interact with other people, like the woman at Home Depot. It would be nice to see you get a hand from others or crack a beer open with a friend. Just a thought …. Keep the videos coming! 😃 (P.S. yes I do like and am a subscriber.)

Gophers eat earthworms and earthworms like acidic soils. If you "sweeten" your soil by applying lime, the earthworms will move to more acidic soil areas and the gophers will follow them. Apply lime 2x a year (spring and fall), preferably just before a rain, so it washes into the soil. Most lawn-type grasses prefer sweeter soil, also, so the lime also helps keep your lawn happy. A golf course groundskeeper taught me this little trick...it works!

To keep out deer, you either need a taller fence or a double shorter fence. A post driver will be your best friend.
@TheYardGeek
@TheYardGeek 7 месяцев назад
The fence will be doubled, but it’s not intended as a true deer fence as it’s not high enough. I’m hoping it deters them enough that they just go eat my neighbours plants/trees instead 🤣

what happens to the little gopher after you catch it, you do realise of course that he and his ancestors were there first, what harm can they do?
@TheYardGeek
@TheYardGeek 7 месяцев назад
Gophers are a major nuisance around here. They wreak havoc in pastures, like the one behind my yard and if a horse steps in a gopher hole, they can break their leg (which leads to the horse being put down), so they are very unwanted rodents. You obviously live somewhere that doesn’t have gophers to think that they should be allowed to live. Do you not kill mosquitoes? Mice that get in your house? 🤣
