I'm just sorry you had to get rid of those beautiful trees. TRY THIS. Instead of fighting water ruts and run off go with the flow rather than trying to stop it. Make a wet weather creek all the way down the hill. Think outside the box. Maybe make another pond at the bottom. Or some sorta catchment.

When are you going to reveal your new lady friend?!?

I was coming down 77south yesterday and when i got to the Virginia/ North Carolina line, Stoney Ridge Farm popped up in my mind....thats some beautiful farmland up there....yall have a good day on the SRF!!

Another great video Josh. Subscribers and future subscribers please hit the like button.

What about the rest of it

Wow! That quite possibly is the coolest grill ever...! Any chance that you could harvest some of the water from the roof, and collect it in a huge tank?

Was hear. Wooooo

Hey Josh, there's a lot of ways to go, why did you not try to retain the water off of the roof and recycle it for irrigation water? I'm guessing you have ample rainfall and don't need to supplement with anything ? My other thought was if your soil is well drained and permeable then you would not have to worry so much about drain off if it's soaked in . Otherwise I would wonder or think why you wouldn't want to put in some deep growing rooted plans to break up the soil. Like Sweet Clover alfalfa and maybe even some tillage radishes for a really big effect which are great for cows. What's your thoughts if it's okay to ask

My experience on my farm, never get grass to germinate this time of year unless you plan on watering it constantly in the beginning. With the expense of grass seed, I think I would have waited until fall especially with this mini drought going on...OH! and BTW thanks for the advice on using supersoil, my lawn around the house has NEVER looked better!

Put up a game trail camera

Along your patio area you may want to consider installing a "French drain" with a river gravel cover. It could be tied into your building drain to carry off the excess drainage. Best wishes.

It may surprise you but your wood chipper makes a good straw chopper/blower. I chop chunks of round bails for use in the garden around onions.

Very impressed with the versatility of the ventrac. Great tool.

your backyard looks amazing. Water problem, you have a ton of stone make a river rock runoff all the way down have it turn into the woods.

I had similar problems, even with heavy seeding it still eroded. Ended up throwing a bunch of good size river rock from around the farm into the gullies, up to ground height. Worked great - dirt eventually filled in around the rock, grass grew in, and now you would never know there is (was) an issue.

A chisel plow works great on solid ground to pull up rocks. I set it only for 4-6 inches deep and travel in very slow gear. It flips out the big rocks. You can stop in time to prevent tearing up equipment if watching closely. On 1st pass I only went 4 inches. It loosens top soil and rocks. The next pass is at 6 inches. The heavy duty discs work great after removing these rocks.

A way that worked great for me to seed center of drainage areas was to staple the manufactured rolls of straw in shingle overlaps up the grade. The top last piece of straw was dug in and buried on the last 6-12 inches. The goal was to get the water on top of the straw. If the stream of water gets to flowing under the straw, then the straw is useless. Done this several times and it worked every time.

Awesome and outstanding as always

Nice seeding job. 👍👍👍
