Regarding the roof tiles for foot paths. Do you mean, broken tiles? If so, I think you'll find the Romans used to break old plant pots and roof tiles into smaller pieces, and put them into a old wine vat with a handle and turn it with stones in there to round off all the sharpe edges to make foot paths. Id imagine a cement mixer is as good. The Romans called it bink! 😊

Hi! Lovely People. Florida, USA, here. All my life I have seen strawberries grown as follows: mounded hills are dug just like potatoes, then the mounded part is covered by black plastic and tucked under the edges, then holes are made to plant the strawberry plugs. This allows the plants to grow with very little weed infiltration. You can also do drip irrigation before you lay the black plastic. Other benefit is the fruit does not lay in the dirt! Another benefit is the fruit ripening quicker from the heat generated from the black plastic.

@portugalitis

2 ай бұрын

Hello !!! That black plastic which I used for path was bought for strawberries to use as you just mentioned .. but I just think this sun is so hot and it would do damage to the roots ... being to hot .. so I never used it

Great idea to reuse the horning from the caravan as extra protection on the ipc tanks. I agree the tarp won’t last the summer with the strength of the sun where you are. Hopefully the weather will start to settle and you will get a chance to dry the ground out before you put your tomato plants in to the ground. They really don’t like very wet ground. ❤

Thanks for sharing another video. I think that due to the climate change and the type of land there (shallow with a subsoil of bedrock under the top soil) u will have two opposite problemss depending on the seasons; in the hot season u will have dry soil and scarcity of water and in the wet season u will have flooding and saturation of the top soil layer. I don't think it will improve with time. As i believe the dry season will become drier n the wet wetter with the passing of time. U guys need to talk to locals that have similar problem to urs and find out how they solve the issue . A. had a good idea to deepen the bed of the side canal to make the water flow faster and easier. Maybe u should consider to dig some strategically located swells leading excess water to the canal. U will have to use ur wits to observe the layout of the land to see what places work best for a swell so ur excess water flows away. As usual it was nice to watch both of u in ur work and to listen to u guys thinking out loud about the issues u find. Btw Guffy looks so happy roaming around ur land, so do ur kitties following u around.Sorry to hear about the phone accident. May i make a suggestion? Get a transparent plastic pocket to wear ur phone round the neck whilst doing outdoor work. It will protect it from dust and water n u will always know where it is .

I suggest you have a pond dug with a spillover in place, which would give you all the water you need to irrigate during the dry periods, and be much better than those tanks by far. Other measures , other than a pond, are just and gimic that dont really solve the full issue.

Should have used the black plastic to plant the strawberries in.Get some u.v.i. mulch plasti, lay it down fasten at both ends and occasjonally between down the sides, Cut holes in the plastic and plant your strawberries in the holes. this will reduce moiture loss, reduce weed growth and triple yoir yield and you should get 3 crops per year.
