Build a tree propagation nursery. Collect seeds and grow tube stock of the trees and plants you want to grow on the property. You are going to need tens of thousands of trees to do what you want to do with the place, it will be cost effective to build the nursery. It will also be faster to get to where you want to get to. Just need a bed with a heat trace in it and some misting sprays on a timer. Some shade cloths to protect the young plants from the sun. An automatic spray system and build dome stands to sit the tube stock on.
Great effort. Can this be done with bamboo instead of plastic hope?
@@Neicorr Gardener here; bad idea, you'll be filtering too much sunlight. I tested some meshes and the ones not producing shadow have way too open holes, so it would not protect the plants.
Also, there are tons of plastic waste already, better give it a second life than rotting in a dumping ground...
Edit:
2 points I thought after posting this.
-If you use bamboo for structural uses it is a good option, but you better be careful because if you don't treat it correctly, it all will crack. Inside this fractures water will accumulate and rot the bamboo from the inside.
-Bamboo is not native to Portugal by any means, if you find a small bamboo garden in a neighbouring town or so, you could help and clear the old canes so the little ones can grow. You help somebody and get free material!!!
Remember to treat the bamboo with fire while it is still green :3
@@Neicorr good idea. Bamboo would probably be a perfect replacement for plastic tube stock.
Tree nursery is probably one of the best ideas in this comment section :) I wish I could upvote more often!

Integrating into the neighbouring community is the single most sustainable thing you could do! You, as young people, must be truly valuable to them, not only through your workforce, but as a spark of hope, that their home and way of living is not lost completely.
sustainable? these old neighbours are dead in a decade or two max, young people move to cities. how is this sustainable ?
@@DEVINdevdev preserving local communities (and even languages) is a great way to protect Biodiversity. Ghost towns are wasted infrastructure. Only two examples. So it's better to keep this community alive and maybe even work on it to make it more attractive for young people, than to simply let it die out like so many other villages in southern Europe.
@@DEVINdevdev mwah
@@DEVINdevdev having an innovative project like this can help young people stay.

Why not start growing your own oak seedlings to replant later into areas you have cleared?
It would speed up the natural species coming back rather than the haphazardness of waiting for it to happen it to happen on it's own.
Just collect some acorns come autumn and pop them in - pretend to be squirrels!
Oak does not transplant well - it has a taproot which makes it difficult to grow to any size and then move.
@@kittimcconnell2633 All round better just to plant some acorns, enough for some losses, just as the (missing) parent oak tree would. Better to put the effort into keeping the oak (and other natives) saplings free from mimosa (and other non-native) competition.
I swear i am starting to count the neighbours as part of Project Kamp... 😊
Please don’t swear at your neighbours
@@Neicorr 😂😂
Dave, I'm sure this advice is probably too late, but when buying equipment or large purchases from out of the country, you can use a buying agent. This can be your bank, or a professional firm. They basically hold the funds in escrow until the delivery is made. They give the seller a bond or guarantee of payment to release the goods. There is a small fee for this service, but is a big piece of mind and minimum risk. Maybe next time.
I had no idea this was a thing, brilliant
@@katiearthofer9544 Great, glad you know now! Maybe when you buy again, you can try it.
I searched for that company's name "RDS Plant" and "scam" in Google and I did not like what I found!
I hope nothing bad happens to Project Kamp, but I'm afraid that the company went bankrupt some months ago so someone might have kept their money...
Let's hope for the best...
Three things I would like to see you guys add to the project.
1. Tree nursery to help accelerate the reforestation efforts.
2. Bee hives, because they are cool and will help pollinating all the different plants in the area.
3. Mushrooms. Im not sure if the climate is right for this, but it would be a delicious addition to the kitchen. They could also be used to break down all the organic material that results from cutting down the Mimosas etc.
second this; by far the most important factors in a regeneration project. Nursery because you will need thousands of trees, bees will be the front line pollinators and fungi for decomposition and food, I am sure common pleurotus varieties will very quickly adapt to growing off the dead mimosas on top of providing a quality food. You have the trees already, you need to add variety by establishing a nursery which would also help in propagating the native oaks, fungi will be the necessary symbiotic relationship and will also be the communication system of the whole area (it's wild but that's how a forest communicates especially in the cases of fire, through the web of mycelium running underground) also mushrooms turn dead wood in healthy alive bunched up logs of mycelium effectively eliminating the risk of the dead wood catching fire, and bees as a line of pollinators to close down the loop and tie everything all together. If you dial these 3 adding to the kampers effort, the land regeneration will take off and automate itself.
Wouldn't it be better to just cultivate flowers that native bees like? I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the bees humans keep are not the same bees as in the vast majority of ecosystems
I know this is something that has already been considered (perhaps discarded due to ethical concerns?), but a couple of goats could be useful to contain the regrowth of mimosas
Bee hives are a really bad idea if you want to help pollinating native plants because they have a strong impact in native pollinisators. They will indeed have a' impact on biodiversity.
@@RaffaeleBennoli I agree some herbivores would help a lot in creating a healthy forest. Protect the important plants but let them clear the bottom branches of trees and they will grow straight and tall. Also let them eat mimosa sprouts and they will save a lot of work.
Concerning the smelly compost: typically that means you have too much “green” material. Thats the stuff that decomposes fast: food scraps, fresh cuttings, grass, etc. Try adding more “browns” or slower decomposing things like waste shredded paper, wood chips, sawdust, fire ash, dried leaves. If it is consistently smelly, you might need a higher mixture of browns to greens. Another solution is move it farther away from people so the smell isn’t as bothersome!
The best way to deal with the smell is to add ash. It absorbs the odors in seconds.
They'll have plenty of mimosa wood chips soon!
Perhaps you could used some is the smaller young mimosas to weave a section of branches to create movable walls (woven wattle hurdles) for the compost and other areas.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. To have fresh food scraps open on top is not the best. Better to have some wood chips (which they will have plenty soon) in a pile next to the compost. Then when ever you add a pile of "green" material coming in they could turn it over with the top layer of the compost and add some "browns" in. It's the middle of the compost that majority of the action happens anyway.
@@bobweiram6321 You're completely right! And they should have a good source of ash from that pizza and bread oven, I hope they learn they can utilise it!
As a portuguese, I think that is marvelous what your are doing for that community, with so many elders, I think you brought some life to them and to the things they do!! Nice job.
Those elderly folks have a lot more energy than I do. Bending over and harvesting potatoes would kill my back.
I absolutely love that you help the local community with the planting of potatoes (and the harvest).
Getting down and dirty with knowledge. Get into it!
I'm from Ireland & was going to offer that I could go and check out the company selling the digger to see if they're legit but looks like you've bought it already. Hopefully it arrives safe & sound 👍🏼
OMG I hope the same!
Just 2-3y back I have almost drowned few k EUR by being scamed on a tractor/digger. I was lucky and got this idea to call other phone no. of the same company and got to learn that they don't have such digger in the database and they had already a few reports someone scamed people saying they are from this company... o.O
I think they asked under last weeks video if there is someone from ireland
Ah I must've missed it. I would've recommended to get a tractor personally & then buy a digger attachment. @@EmperorDruggy
I'm from Belfast and could check it out and video call you with the digger?
I noticed that the RDS website isn't working, and there’s a warning about the company on the Yell site. I hope I’m wrong, but it doesn’t seem to be a promising party to deal with.
The pond needs to have some type of air flow through it to stop all the algae over powering it, if you can get hold of a couple of solar power pumps and just let the sun do the work of aeration for you, also do some research in beneficial bacteria for a pond of your size in case you need to add some and the right type of plants that will work to keep the pond healthy, then with a bit of luck thrown in you should have a healthy bio diverse pond that will not be so hazardous to your health should you need to jump in there again. The sooner you can get some pumps in there though to aerate the water the better as it’s a honestly a health hazard that is totally avoidable and any type of pump is better than absolutely nothing but I know a solar pump of some kind would be preferable, maybe if you find a electric pump you could convert it too solar if you can’t find a big enough solar one. This season is so good and I am so glad to have the vlogs back as it’s a staple part of my summer, watching how much hard work you put into getting the land safe and healthy again not just for people but the wildlife around you makes me happy ❤❤ sending love from the uk ❤❤
Also a simple way to check if the man you were talking too was real and with the company ( and the company was real too ) was to do a FaceTime call with him, you would have been able to see the buildings and where the digger was where it was supposed to be, it’s obviously not fool proof but with all the research you did into the company it would have eased you mind that you saw it all in the background of a call. ❤
@@gillyt2752 he said he did so in the video, i think you've missed that ^^
Once there is aeration, could probably also drop some native small fish and crayfish in there to help deal with built up matter in the water.
yeah it seemed the fallen mimosas were actually catching quite a bit of the algae too.....but I agree...leaving it like that doesnt make sense........
I would be more concerned about mosquitoes. They love standing water.
An idea, for future composting. Consider a steep rather than flat location. Multiple, tiers,( the height you want. You start filling the top, or highest bin, when time comes to turn it, simply scoot the compost over the edge, into the next lower bin. A multiple stepped operation. The actual design is up to you, removable gates, or walls, maybe partially dug out of the hillside you are working on. The top level would be the receiving area, the steps, variable stages of working compost, with the lowest level, the place to eventually gather the finished compost. I hope you like this idea.
aerating the compost speeds up the process a lot....you can add worms too.....the mix of greens and browns is important to make sure it breaks down well, too
Yep, a stepped compost system needs to be set up to aide in breaking down materials. I like your processing downhill suggestion - helps in the physical labour side.
Genius plan!
some permanent posts and using some of the many logs you have, form a front wall and stack composting material behind it. When time to move to next bin, simply remove the wall logs and allow the compost to fall into the bin below with some manual assistance - far easier then digging out permanent bins
I would not wait too long with chipping the dead wood or getting rid of it.
If you leave it like this and a wild fire should come these piles would make nice bonfires...
You also could invest in some hardy bushes or native trees instead of waiting for something growing by itself.
In any case I wish you a lot of successful and happy "kamping".
Great work you are doing on this beautiful " test land"!
I loved the part when you were helping your neighbours, and you pointed out how, even though you do not share the same mindset, you can still help and learn from each other.
Compost: add more carbon rich materials like wood chips, leaves, straw or even paper.
Many people suggest to turn it more often but that is totally not necessary if enough carbon is added frequently so no big pockets of kitchen waste turn into smelly goo.
Lazy composting trick: pile of wood chips all around the compost + shovel/fork next to it.
Hope your digger has a pto attachment so you can attach a chipper for the mountains of mimosa you need to shred.
Pros chip away at everything. Attaching now darling.
Diggers don't have PTO.
Hydraulic chippers are available.
They're a peaceful bunvh. They don't need any chips on their shoulders.
If the compost is smelling (not just the new stuff,) it isn't doing what it is supposed to do. You need to turn in fairly often and add roughage (straw/dried grass is best, but you could also use woodchips.) You need air moving through the material to make things run smoothly, and you should be getting good dirt in less than a year (although if you use woodchips it could take a bit longer than that.) I'll log onto the project camp and put some notes there as well, showing how I've done it in the past.
Everytime i go clearing out my tiny bit of land and find a new patch of invasive wild roses i think of yall with your spikey booshes makes me smile lol
That area next to the pond would be great for chickens.
Omg you're so right! Chickens could also eat many of the food scraps, which would help decrease the smell of the compost. Chicken manure is incredibly rich in hydrogen, which would make it a great fertilizer. The one downside to having them close to the pond would be that rain could wash too much manure into the pond, which could increase the gunk-levels and algae in the pond... 🤔
You can utilise the area near the pond by building a hen house which will also provide eggs
I'm not sure that is a good idea. Chicken poop has lots of nitrogen, don't want that is the pond water.
How old are those neighbors they seem Verry happy and healthy still working on their fields. What an awesome way to get old
It's right next to the pond. Set up a bunch of hammocks for an afternoon break after a cool off swim
I cover my kitchen scraps(high nitrogen content) with chipped green branches and leaves(carbon dominant content) in the compost pit of my tree circle(3banana+3papaya) and have no problem with smells.
When adding “new” equipment, learn to obtain/read and study operating manuals/maintenance/parts manuals for the product. Sadly, owners in all countries delay/neglect maintenance since they know they are selling the unit. CZcams can be an information source. Thx for bringing us along.😊😊😊 John Ken
Couple dozen updates ago you removed some of the native trees and put them in pots to be replanted elsewhere later... Have you officially stablished a nursery of native trees already? Are you planning to? You should definetely start a nursery/greenhouse for native and fruit trees... Also, look into syntropic agroforestry

The Reason Why The Climate is Hot: Nothing Can Ever Surpass the Truth
“I have always been keen on guiding the astray who followed those who earned the wrath of Allaah. Unfortunately, they were never guided because they did not use their minds to understand the Words of Allaah in the Great Qur'an, to believe it is the Truth. But, they will never understand it (the Qur'an) except through the torment of Allaah, Lord of the heavens, earth, and what is between them, and Lord of the Great Throne. In line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted:
{وَإِن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا ﴿٥٨﴾وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَن نُّرْسِلَ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ۚ وَآتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا ۚ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا ﴿٥٩﴾} صدق الله العظيم [سورة الإسراء]
Qur'an - Surah: al-Israa' - Verses: 58-59
O mankind, here you are feeling the approach of the torment of Saqar, the greatest calamity. And I have already told you with truth that you have entered the summer of Saqar starting from 2023, despite having been constantly warning you of the passing of planet Saqar for 19 years. Unfortunately, the more I warn you, the more you run away and disbelieve in the existence of Allaah. Today's nations are like the people of the prophet Noah, they do not fear the majesty of Allaah (See Qur'an, Surah: Noah). Anyway, following a sweltering summer at the North Pole, the people of planet Earth, in both north and south, have declared the arrival of the autumnal equinox. At the same time, residents of Antarctica declared that the vernal (spring) equinox had begun there. And far is that from happening.
I had already given you a ruling before with the truth in a previous statement that the summer of Saqr was on the horizon of the Antarctic continent of the planet Earth, eliminating the winter of the far pole where nobody lives. Then, Saqar annihilated the winter of countries that share the Antarctic climate. Their winter has been replaced with heat, so that they may understand what I am warning them of. Those who live in the Antarctic are waiting for which spring after the annihilation of the Antarctic winter? Do they not reason?! Here is the summer of Saqar, which will attack the two temperate seasons (autumn in the north of the Earth and spring in the south of the Earth). And it will scientifically fail all your weather forecasting devices. It will mystify your knowledge and destroy your credibility among the peoples of the worlds. Indeed, ultimate proofs belong to Allaah, O worshippers of the Physics of Nature. We shall wait and see if the Physics of Nature, given to you by Allaah as a means of mercy for you, will submit to the power of Allaah, thus it turns against you and makes your knowledge equal to zero. Anyway, given that the summer of Saqar swept through the four seasons, there will be a war of hurricanes of fire attacking forests and homes, and a flood of water pouring down at the suitable time whenever Allaah wills and not when you will. So where are the inventors of artificial rain to extinguish wildfires if they are truthful? I truly pity Arabs for being manipulated by Arab and non-Arab devils to demolish the fundamental beliefs in the clear verses of the great Qur'an, thus they believe in the opposite of the challenge of Allaah in His Words:
{أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ (٦٨) أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ (٦٩) لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ (٧٠)} صدق الله العظيم [ سورة الواقعة]
Qur'an - Surah: al-Waqi’ah- Verses: 68-70
Lo and behold, non-Arabs and Arabs! I swear by Allaah, I am thinking of disbelievers in the eras of prophets and I find them closer to knowing Allaah than the nations of this atheist world in the era of Allaah's caliph al-Mahdi. Disbelievers in the era of prophets were closer to becoming believers if it was not for their association of partners besides Allaah owing to their blind following to their fathers. See their response to the messengers sent by their Lord in the Word of Allaah the Exalted:
{وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾} صدق الله العظيم [سورة الزمر]
Qur'an - Surah: az-Zumar- Verse: 38
So call upon your gods that you worship other than Allaah to save you from the evil of Allaah's cosmic and Corona war if you are truthful. Here you have entered the summer of Saqar, so do not wait for the four known seasons from now on because they along with winter in the south pole and the coming winter have been replaced by the summer of Saqar. Do you reckon I am talking nonsense? How strange your stance is, non-Arabs and Arabs! Logically if Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani were truly truthful in announcing the entrance of planet Earth in the climate of planet Saqar, the four seasons would be annihilated that perhaps you may think. Indeed Allaah's proofs are far-reaching. Planet Saqar is going to be blazed by the command of Allaah to be a mercy from Allaah upon you for it is better for you to feel its blaze than aboding inside it. Also, perhaps feeling its hotness causes you any remembrance. Indeed, Hellfire (Saqar) will produce fuming and growling sounds towards the Earth and they shall surround the four cardinal directions (South, North, East, and West). This is the loud roaring of Planet Saqar which appears to mankind on the horizon from time to time, in line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted:
{إِذَا رَأَتْهُم مِّن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا ﴿١٢﴾} صدق الله العظيم [سورة الفرقان]
Qur'an - Surah: al-Furqan- Verse: 12
Because it will pass on the Earth from a distance, it will not collide with it. You will see the circle of planet Saqar when it rises from the far Southeast to the far Southwest. It will be conspicuous in the visible universe. On the night it passes, it will obscure the horizons of planet Earth from the four cardinal directions. You are also going to witness the sign of the evident smoke of a painful torment. So wait, indeed I too am waiting with you, and I know what I am saying, in line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted:
{حم (١) وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ (٢) إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ (٣) فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ (٤) أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ (٥) رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (٦) رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ (٧) لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ (٨) بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ (٩) فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ (١٠) يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (١١) رَّبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ (١٢)} صدق الله العظيم [سورة الدخان]

Well make your merch
At the top of the "pond/lake/swamp (whatever you want to call it)", I think you can build a water tank (or more) to restore some extra water during the winter and release the water into the "lake" during the summer. This can create some water flow, maybe can help you to improve the smell of the "lake".
I always enjoy the Land clearing vids, Thinning the old manosa forests and letting Sun in. When the grass is green it is like a Park. Perhaps planning for results of a hiking trail along the whole property with areas to rest and picnic along the way. Multiple Parks in the Camp, That can be named, Or even to camp at on weekends. Go Project Kamp!!!!👍👍🙏🙏Be blessed. Romans 10 : 9-10
I'm not sure how viable of an option it would be based on the size of the pond, but maybe stocking the pond with some algae eating fish could help it maintain a cleaner look while staying natural
For me it was the magical word "potatoes"... so I needed to wach the video.❤😂
That pond could really use some professional attention, instead of relying on the trees to hold the soil it could have a retaining wall and a bog filter for safety and water quality.
Hello ! just to say I love seeing interaction with the vilage people, it's hearth warming ^^
Love your collaboration with neighbours. The way the world should be.
I love seeing you all helping the neighbors and you get a very nice meal very time even when you go and harvest they feed you and give you some of the harvest I love seeing what a great local community you have . Keep up the great work cant wait till next Video.
This video felt so short, because its just so easy to watch! And I loved the stare down of the team❤
Couple suggestion. 1. Adobe audio enhance when you record audio in the echo chamber.
2. Use your audience to check out the digger in location. Here in the US the scam is people using established business or recently closed business as fake locations.
3. Find brush grinder that will take the stumps to the ground that attaches to your digger. Looks like it is a regional issue and your neighbors could use someone with an attachment that can clear brush
If you're concerned about the stability or legitimacy of a vendor, use an escrow service. They hold your funds and only pay the vendor if they've met all the obligations of the agreed upon the terms of sale.

Some red flags for this company:
1. It's a new registered company,
2. there are only 4/5 star reviews on google, all from people with only 1 review written, and all of them written in the same time period.
3. There's a 1 star review on another site from someone claims they are a fake company and stole 16.000 euros.
I'm also concerned about this. They could have asked in one of the videos so people could help with the legitimacy of the company

"stare down" - proceeds to fully commit 😅
Рядом с компостом должна быть лопата и кучи материала для засыпки. Лесной грунт и щепа. Если сразу засыпать то, что принесли из туалета или кухни несколько лопат почвы или щепы - уменьшится запах и мухи, компост будет быстрее созревать.
В засушливый период надо поливать!) бактериям нужны тепло и влага.
Totally agree, and you can add fresh cutted as leaves and green branches 👍
Food compost must be covered to keep smells down. Add brown or green to the pile to cover it.
Wood chips will eventually turn into rich soil. ❤❤❤
Love your Portuguese neighbors! Very kind and wise...
I put a thin layer of soil (usually the not nice soil) on top of my compost every week. Keeps the smell down. Helps speed up composting, and improves the soil that I add. I have two compost piles. When one is full, I start on the second letting the first compost down. My no. 1 composter is almost full so I will be switching soon to no.2. I mix and stir and add soil to no. 1 while I am filling no. 2. By the time no.2 is full I can use the soil in no. 1 so it can be started again. I have in the past had a third compost pile for the really hard to compost items - like melon rinds - and I also throw soil on it once a week. I do not compost weeds, seeds, or tubers as they grow so well in compost piles.
It might be a good idea to plant some fresh white willow (native to portugal and relatively fire resistant) branches along the far side of the pond and weave them into a natural barrier to really shore-up the pond against erosion. Then plant some natural water filtering plants around the low edges to start filtering the water.
Over time, the willow branches will grow and provide a sustainable source of weaving material.
Yes! That bank has great risk for erosion and local willow is an excellent structure that is easy to keep trimming the small shoots. And now that light is getting to the retention pond, serious algae bloom has occurred, which depletes the dissolved oxygen in the standing water
Helping the neighborhood is so nice. Love to see that kind of community
Have you considered creating a space to have as a nursery for growing trees? When the time of year comes when the acorns fall from the Oak trees, gather them in a bucket, and leave them in the bucket ,they will soon sprout, and you can plant them in rows, and water them until they are big enough to transplant.
That is what a neighbor is for! 😊
Could make a water tank there or a place where you can control the water in the lake/the pipe in the lake so you don’t have to keep jumping in it, which I think everyone would like 😊😊
Great to see you assisting the local community!
Good job on the idea of reforestation of native oaks etc.
If you do decide to help the oaks regenerate, here are two things I've learned from my own experience in planting native oaks (Garry oak or Oregon oak) for my area to restore the ones that were cut down 100-150 years ago:
Gather the acorns and put them in batches in buckets of water. After a day or so, the ones that float are the "bad" ones. The ones that didn't float are the "good" ones.
When you put the nuts into pots, be SURE that you cover the pot with something that is squirrel/rodent-proof. I lost more than a dozen acorns to squirrels digging up the acorns that had already begun to sprout, and they even dug up and destroyed a seedling that was almost 25 cm high. For us in the States, "chicken wire" is a good solution. I don't know what it is called in Europe, but it's wire fencing that's formed from multiple strands of wire linked together to form hexagons. It's cheap and it works to keep squirrels out. If you suspect you have lots of mice, use wire netting with smaller holes.
i planted potatoes when I was little (around early May)and then watered weekly and finally harvested around end of August
Great job Camera Operator who walked backwards uphill through trees and erosion control berms while keeping moving speaker in scene. Excellent video quality this episode.
I was reading on the research module about the compost, but I cannot reply there so I do it here. The original reply from Reifersam is correct about adding the carbon rich material. If the pile is too smelly you will need more air, less moisture, and more dry carbon rich material. Probably the best method to make your own compost without manure and without having to turn it regularly is the Johnson and Su bio reactor. Sounds intimidating, but it isn't. And another very good scientific source about producing compost is a channel called Transform Compost from a Canadian scientist. It is all about enough but not too much aeration, enough but not too much moisture, the correct mixture of ingredients, and temperature. You want about 2/3 carbon rich materials, and about 1/3 nitrogen rich materials. A good functioning compost pile does not produce any bad smell at all. But instead it will produce an earthy smell.
About the compost try to check “compost tumbler” 😊 maybe you can craft and weld one or two, therefore you can compost faster and start some garden of yours 😊
Your dedication to finding solutions like searching for a digger and efforts in trimming invasive trees while planting potatoes truly highlight your commitment to environmental stewardship. Your proactive approach to land management is inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life, celebrating your impactful actions
I love that funny Plop Sound 🎵when you show something on Map 🤗
For the freshly cleared area, how about looking for flowering shrubs and perennials and other self seeding flowers for a pollinator garden. You could even think about getting hives if anyone is keen to take it on.
use the space to build a food forrest, aka plant some fruit bushes and trees / nuts / veggies and whatever else you want to plant
Controls can be taught.. Manuals can be read..
But.. ACTUALLY DOING MAINTENANCE.. It has to become a way of life for you guys..
If you could find some native willows, you could plant a fence of willows to hold soil and weave them into a pattern. They are not flammable like the mimosas(acacia) and the Eucalyptus.
I totally understood your apprehension regarding the digger purchase. But know that you have fans from around the world who I am sure would only be too happy to check companies out for you. I'm from southern Ireland, so if ever you need anything checked out near me, it would be a pleasure to help.
❤
Best part of my Mondays!!
Never ever buy machinery online without a reputable escrow service. There are services that will go over there, check it out in person, give you a full report listing every single defect/issue for to approve before they buy it, and then they hand over the money and immediately load it onto a trailer.
It's more expensive, but it removes most of the danger.
I've grown up in the Swedish countryside. While it's very different environments and climates, my mother brought us up to be aware of our environment and how our behaviour affects it. She's a biologist, and despite trying my best too, I have never been able to find a native Swedish plant she can't identify within minutes. (And if it took longer than two minutes, she was humouring me to make me think I'd won. If I'd found one, she promised to buy me ice cream)
Safe to say, I also find it very conflicting to cut down trees and bushes. But I comfort myself with knowing that invasive species are long term harmful, no matter their current effect. Sometimes when I'm in need for some emotional processing, I'll grab my gardening shears and bike down to the riverside, and rip and tear into the invasive weeds. It's quite the comforting feeling for me to be hacking away at lupins and other invasive weeds that suffocate the native environment, and go "SLICE!, MAIM!, DIE!" 😄😅 exceptional anger management.
And then when I've hacked away at evil invasive species and calmed down, I'll sneak seeds for native low-growing and mow-resilient plants into the lawn of my apartment complex.😉
I am grateful, that you are taking us with you on jour Big Journey 💖
New Monday, new video. Love your Videos ❤
It is really good to see you starting on the clearing of the invasive species to begin the process of restoring the land. I am sure you guys are looking at all possibilities but here is my short wish list.
1 - Water harvesting and slowing the water down (hugely beneficial to the land and the best defence against drought / fire). The “leaky dams” you started with the felled mimosa in this clip are an excellent start, and your new digger for Swales will be fantastic.. Great CZcams clips all over. (Dutch Farmer/ Salah 50 years / Indian Water Competition / Australian Water Harvesting / Jon Lui Loess Plareau).
2 - Holistic/ managed grazing reintroduces animals into the eco system and that will be vital for the land regeneration. (Mixed small herd of goats, pigs, chickens, a donkey, cows, sheep within one portable electric fence would do a huge amount of clearing the invasive species, activating and feeding the soil, and allowing the native seed bank waiting in the soil to propagate). Fantastic videos on this as well. (Gabe Brown / Knepp Project / Alan Savory Zimbabwe).
Basically this would be helping nature to do the work rather than telling it what to do, which is the danger in the tree propagation and planned reintroduction of species. Help the land to breath and it will heal itself.
Hey guys, great that you were able to afford the digger?
I noticed you didn't have any sponsorships this season yet. I really hopen you arent scared to those. Everyone understands that projects like PC need money to work. It would also make the videos more exiting or informative if you can pay experts (like a scientist on Forestry for example) or just have better tools for bigger projects.
Use the attention that the algorithm is giving you now to build a solid financial base, you never know when youtube is deciding to change how things work.
Make a food forest area next to the pond. you already have water for irrigation. It would make a great orchard/ fruit tree area
There is a way easier way to plant and harvest potatoes. Take a look into bucket potatoes. And more important than that is that you can empty the buckets as you use them and that way it preserves better. It would be an easy project to try food production to minimize costs. Collect plastic buckets from the neighbors and use them to plant potatoes.
It is very fun to understand English and Portuguese in your interactions with the other people from your village...
It's too late to mention it, but a backhoe would've been far more versatile than an excavator. It has a front bucket for clearing and level debris , brush and soil as well as rear excavator. They are also a bit more nimble and easier to move around.
What's weird is that they've brought in at least one backhoe showing that it can do what they need perfectly fine.You also don't have the expensive turn pass-through that eventually needs replaced because it will leak hydraulic fluid. Honestly it seems like the person that was looking for something is just dead set on an excavator when they would get more use of a backhoe or loader tractor with removable backhoe.
@@shoopnooop2952 Exactly! It's soooo useful for general hauling, ploughing, and excavating! Come to think of it, aside from digging, they would be much better served by a Bobcat than the excavator.
The decision makes no sense to me unless a backhoe is significantly more expensive (100s of thousands vs 1000s). I doubt it though. Plus, they're so common that parts are easily available and may even be interchangeable across makes and models.
Our house is next to a huge oak which has a preservation order, and we also have a squirrel so we pull up so many oak seedlings from our patio pots every year. I'm not sure we can send those to you as I'm pretty sure they'd die, but we can definitely collect acorns for you to seed your land. The squirrel will definitely find and eat some of the acorns he buries, but not all of them. Just throw them on the ground, and some will feed your local wildlife, and the rest will become seedlings for future oaks.
uu digger is going to be game changer for landscape forming.
Rocks are good for erosion control, then plant natives, like Gladiolus illyricus bulbs. Once you have an excavator you can terrace the areas around water features, then use stones you find for steps. Plant natives’ plants and grass to hold the soil. The willows and eventually the oaks will shade the water and prevent the algae, till they do skim and then use the algae to cover the compost.
respect to whoever was cameraman for the walkthrough review of work done leading to meeting the car. really well filmed
A wood chipper added to your equipment stock would be a good idea. You’ll always use it.
Good purchase. I am always impressed by how much you guys get done and how you spend your money. Unlike other similar projects and stuff I never see you guys buy something and think "wow what a waste of money." Every time it's "yep that's going to save a tonne of time and money in the long run."
I think I've seen some other people say this, but the pond could really benefit from some water-growing plants! I don't know if you'd want to plant them in the pond directly as that would take up a lot of the free space for swimming and water storage, but maybe some floating plant islands? I've seen them made in a few ways, like planting the seedlings of water plants in rafts made from jute bags, linen fabric, or even straw or flexible wood shoots (baby mimosas?) At the start they might need some floating assistance, but when the plants get stronger I've seen the rafts able to float without plastic bottles or the like. Maybe some plant islands would be a good shout until you can get your hands on some good plants for the sides of the pond?
Suggestion: Johnson Su bioreactors for making compost
With all the potential wood chips from regular tree clearing, start multiple Johnson Su bioreactors and make compost! Add several more reactors each year and rotate them out gradually. No turning, reusable setup materials, environmentally friendly, lower maintenance. They do take time and space and wood chips, but it seems like you have all of those.
And it’s a good way to put the mimosas to work for you!
Whilst I can't speak for its effectiveness with composting human waste, a methane digester would help to deal with food waste and provide you with methane gas, which you can probably use in one way or another
Human waste is great stuff, isn’t this the crux of the site? Keep commenting. I’ve not read a better response!
Hola amigos! A proposal: Rent a saw mill. 1-2 persons sawing around 2"x 2" wood from the mimosas for secondary structures what you most likely will have there. Even bigger timber is possible too but just thinking that amount of mimosas and you will have projects there in future too, so why not use it for better purposes than just burning it? Also 22mm x 45mm is quite usefull size too, if you have plenty of it. (Shadow fences, gardening, under structures on outside walls, light roof structures etc..) So, if getting pile of it to dry for later use, you will thank me later ;)
For the compost bin, it needs to be turned more and the moisture level needs to be not too much. Also you need to check that you don't have too much green matter to brown proportion. Another way to help this is to keep adding soil to the pile, the soil will have beneficial bacteria and worms to break down the plant matter and your compost will be pre mixed and ready to be used for growing plants.
Please explain where the soil comes from, do they further disturb the soil and fungal growth that requires years to establish? So little, so mulch.
@@Neicorr It doesn't take much, please also see the ground contouring they did during their swale making between the base camp and the office. A shovel or two tossed over the food scraps will accelerate the decomposition as well as reducing the smell. Adding leaves, bark and small wood chips will also help.
As far as disturbing the soil and fungal growth, yes, yes it will, along with almost everything else they are doing. You're going to be really upset when you see what they do with a digger.
Looks like you need a wood chipper. Regarding the compost bins, they really need to be bigger. At least 2m x 2m to get hot enough. Air will only penetrate about 60cm into the heap so u can add some drainpipes with holes in to aid airflow. Lastly layer the heap, woodchip, grass cuttings and kitchen waste. Fill to the top then leave to settle, when it halves in size turn it into another bin and repeat. Collect and add all of the teams urine.
Great update, so much progress!
You could enhance the yoga wood stand and small pond area with a few additions. Create a meditation corner for peaceful reflection, set up a body workout zone with outdoor diy fitness equipment, plant a small herb garden for fresh aromas and add some comfortable seating for relaxation.
Appreciate the updates. Keep up the good work...y'all are awesome!
Layering the compost with a little soil and then turning it occasionally helps. Buy a sack of lime and layer some of that in to for smell.
Buys a digger, doesn’t buy some real ropes for tree work 😂 next next update perhaps
