New Pond Visual Update & Seeding Strategies
At 4:05 in
Hurricane Sally is Hitting the farm!
What happens here
The farmer drives the Kubota RTV utility vehicle slowly past the new pond area, providing a visual update on how it's filling. He reiterates that it's filling up slowly, which is ideal, and mentions expecting between 1 and 3/4 inches of rain tonight. He also discusses the seeding process, revealing that some areas were too rough and rocky for a seed drill, necessitating the use of a broadcast spreader (spoiler for an upcoming video). He highlights the importance of effective seeding on new land, mentioning a lesson learned from spring clearing where some areas were sparse while others showed explosive growth, emphasizing the benefit of proper technique. He plans to share these tips in an upcoming Sunday video. He also mentions the use of mud boots for working in wet conditions, noting a 20% coupon available for these boots.
Goal: Showcase the new pond's progress and discuss effective seeding methods for challenging terrain and promoting grass growth.
