TripleThreatRC - 7 years ago

Nice. I'm keen to see how this project progresses...Subscribed. But such a big hole for such a little Bobcat. Just curious why you didn't go with a proper backhoe? Could have dug the hole in a fraction of the time. Thumbs up!

oh my god he's a koi master.

Mascafequeleche - 8 years ago

You guys are amazing and so much fun too! Just what I needed to find today (tired of the politics and work is KILLING ME!). This vid helped me breathe :-). Looking forward to part 2

Daniel Alexander TFT - 8 years ago

I wouldn't do a Liner. Plenty of clay in that soil.

Daniel Alexander TFT - 8 years ago

Always go bigger!! My brother and I regret not digging a deeper pond at our urban permiculture food forest in Houston, Texas. If you want to check it out and follow progress you can like the facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/SardisLaneFarm/

Camelback Adventures - 8 years ago

What an amazing concept, love the vision - looks awesome!

LeJimster - 8 years ago

looking forward to this series. that space is massive. I know Seamus said it wasn't about fruit trees, but it'd be cool to see a few hundred trees in that space.

wildchook (Mary) - 8 years ago

Oh, I want a machine like that for my garden LOL Great project Jake. I can't wait when its done.

wildchook (Mary) - 8 years ago

What a great initiative. I like your friend Shamus. He is a valuable source. I love your Koi pond Jake.

Ashley J Smith - 8 years ago

I have a question. When you say the property is hooked up to flood irrigation, you are obviously referring to the water thing emitting the water. But where does the water come from ? Is it well water ? Or City water ?

Ashley J Smith - 8 years ago

WoW This will be interesting to follow !! I am looking forward to it !!

Chia Chuchu - 8 years ago

Jake I binge watching most of your video. You inspire me to start growing in my back garden. Thank you so much. I love you.

Bluerose11 - 8 years ago

I am so looking forward to watching this come together! I think its going to be wonderful! Please show us the liner going in so we can learn from it. Blessings!

per sebra - 8 years ago

Just found this channel from Life in a Box. This dude is a little weird and seems to love showing off his body a little too much. But he is quite likable, he knows his stuff and his enthusiasm and passion is infectious. The results of all his hard work are just amazing.

#1 rule of pond building, Remember that nobody ever said, I wish I would have made the pond a little smaller!

Buster Brown - 8 years ago

_ Gerbilrancher - 8 years ago

Great camera work, Jake! Is this NW Phoenix?

Chris Nicholas Bushell - 8 years ago

Bamboo is not a good idea the roots will punch through the liner needs to be grown in big pots so it don't spread

valencia x - 7 years ago

Chris Bushell there is another variety of bamboo which does not spread!

Chris Nicholas Bushell - 8 years ago

yes correct I love the plant, you plant one and your find roots speared bigs as football pitches

Ashley J Smith - 8 years ago

Yeah, I actualy thought about this too. Bamboo can be very invasive. And it will grow twoards the water.

Kelly Richardson - 8 years ago

There are non invasive Bamboo he can plant, Black Bamboo (zone 6 - 10), Sunset Glow (Zone 7 - 9). there are others too.

Amateur Gardner - 8 years ago

VirtualLife - 8 years ago

That paint... um... major chemicals ... contains a boatload o acute toxic chemicals as bad as genetic defects causing to carcinogenic category. Yall should have used a safe biodegradeable spray paint.

VirtualLife - 7 years ago

+Alexander Grimsmo Not a matter of comparison. But if u feel that that is a good thing to do, then u don't ever need to worry about wat u put into your soil.

J Hess - 8 years ago

This is one of the things I was wishing for from your channel. I always see your amazing pond in your backyard, but I would have loved to have seen the process. Please keep us caught up in the process of the pond, and possibly transforming that empty space with fruit trees and other vegetation. I would love to see and hear the reasoning for picking certain plants near and in the pond to create a microclimate. Thank you for your hard work making these videos Jake, please keep us updated. Im thinking of doing this in the future so theres honestly no one else I would trust more to learn about ponds and gardening than you and shamus.

Joyce Dekkers - 8 years ago
