What if my washer is below the garden grade?

We know we historically had beaver in San Diego county because the Kumeyaay tribe that lives in the area have a name for beaver eventhough few exist here today. Great to see a new video from Brad.

For a great book on beavers and their benefits (in audio or written format), check out "Eager: the surprising secret life of beavers and why they matter" by Ben Goldfarb. www.chelseagreen.com/product/eager-paperback/

Do we have an update from this area? Take care and cheers from Germany!

That is a gorgeous setup

Hi, from Namibia. Thanks for the great video!! Which tool are you using to measure the elevation?

Hola Brad! I lived in Tucson for several years and became aware of all your great work. I think I also discovered you from Kirstin Dirkson's video. I bought your fun mesquite cookbook! ;) I'm down in Lake Chapala, Mexico & would love if you would consider working or consulting with the youth & municipality here as we are rapidly growing and we need help! I'm linking your website & videos on our community pages. Our rainy season has become shorter and shorter and this was our hottest dry season ever. I would also like to create a shade project in my neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta. We lost a lot of big trees and last year's hurricane and folks desperately need shade! We have a rainy season here in much of Jalisco that we should be making more of! Please keep doing what you're doing - more crucial than ever!

Awesome, great share. Thank you!!!💞🌎💞

theres that tucson train in the background!

DUDE YES! I NEEDA FIND OUT HOW I CAN DO THIS IN PHX

I LOVE THIS!

I’m a big fan of your literature and RUclips content. I would love to see more on how you take care of your goats and other animals.

that's great that when the pipe broke all that water went to good use!

👁👁😳

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯❤️❤️❤️❤️

Any tip if your curb also has a 3' cement sidewalk?

Imagine what could be achieved if even 0.1% of the world's population was made up of Brad Lancasters!

Omg i just saw some in my front yard!

This was hilarious! Loved it

Don't mess with them... they're always in a fowl mood.

Most frightening thing I have seen in all my years on this planet !😉😁🤗👊😜 I don't think there is any way I can unwatch that...😝👊

Ha Ha Love it!!

Hahaha, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!

Hahahahha. Nobidea what this is, but it's brilliant! 😂😂

My wife will love going outside to the laundry shack to do laundry.

This is amazing project Brad. Using native plants to restore this area is a definite show of your and others accumulated knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for continuing to inspire others in these projects.

how can hell look so much like paradise? is this during the monsoon?

Love this less passive but "active" water harvesting technique to increase your watershed!

SWEET!

Any tips for doing this off a dirt road?

Hey Brad, hope you are well! You said that the city has legalized curb cuts and you've shown one example in a video. Do you think you could do a drive-around town video to show more of these new installations? Cheers!!

Greeeat work!

Thanks for the content. Always great and inspiring. How long do those tanks last you during the dry season?

In a concrete jungle, where we have concrete curbs and driveways, would our driveways be the "basins" that you are referring to here?

Thank you! So interesting to see the test in live 👍

Here in South Carolina, we get plenty of annual rainfall, but there can be long dry spells between the rains. These techniques are great for making things more reliable and predictable, as well as for controlling run-off that can be quite problematic! I really appreciate the focus on using native plants, too. We complain about the environment, but don't realize that we're destroying the environment by introducing all these non-native plants into the local ecosystem. Most insects are specialists, not generalists, and fragmenting the ecosystem with a slew of plants that they can't use means we're literally undercutting the entire food web. No insects means no songbirds because the songbirds need insects as the protein source for chicks in the nest. So far, I've been able to get a good handle on how the water flows in my land, redirecting it and collecting it as needed. I build "beaver dam analogs" in some places and berms in others, all depending on what I have on hand, and it's absolutely wonderful to see it working with the very next rainfall!

Dude this work is so incredible. Thank you for making civilization smarter more efficient and better hydrated!! 🙏

This guy gets so excited. It's wholesome and inspiring.

Genius!

CRAZZY.. YES but he hast Aqua

The metric conversion here is 7'568 liters, or 7.568 (slightly under 7 and three fifths) cubic meters

Just had a thought which comes to nothing: theoretically, if people were daft enough to be using wells for their water in those zones (which would cause these basins to dry out because they live off the same unconfined aquifer that those wells would), this'd probably raise the level of water in those, nah?

Absolutely brilliant on every level Brad. Thank you!

"access denied" 😢

In my country it rains sometimes for days, not just 10 min. I don't understand these ideas to flood trees and plants because trees don't like to stand in water for days. We made channels to drain water from trees and vegetables. So waste of water

Dude you are my new best friend!!!!! Jack Spirko recommended you. I’m in central Florida working with terraced gardens. You have given me so many ideas

this is great to see!

Goodness Greatness ! This is the way to go ! Thank you sir for being a great sharer ! Unfortunately in many places on this earth where water is seasonally abundant, like in southeast Mexico where I live, the loss or lack of healthy/intelligent water culture is astounding and depressing. In our rural environment, in almost any stream where there is a natural dam of logs and branches, you will inevitably find hundreds or thousands of plastic bottles of all sorts, plastic bags, styrafoam articles, flip-flop sandles, tennis shoes, insecticide spray cans, all things plastic and garbage and to top it off... even disposable diapers by the large bag-fulls (and of course used), light bulbs etc. , etc. , etc. I must thank you for everything you share and your educational manners. Education IS culture ! Sooo sad when we lose or never acquire proper and caring water culture. Apologies for my rant folks, but I do not exaggerate

This is inspirational. How can I find which plants will live as living sponges in a northern environment (Michigan)?

That needs to be done in mass effect, otherwise the surrounding area will just leach away your collected moisture within a few days
