A Squirrel Eating Poison Ivy Seeds!

I was just messing around with the new camera. I was filming squirrels to test zoom / focus and other videography features of the camera. When I sat down to check out video I realized he was EATING Poison Ivy seeds!

Sep 9th 2024 - A Discussion With Nik From The Rooted Leaf Agritech About Their Nutrient Line Part 1

In this video Nik tells us some basic s and some finer nuances about his product line. Nik is a very knowledgeable Regenerative Ag farmer and educator regarding nutrients and how they work and interact on a very finite level. Every time I talk with him I learn so many new exciting things about plants and soils! Nik will be returning on a regular basis to discuss more details regarding his nutrient line from a practical perspective as I try them out and learn to use them in my Grow Lab. We will be following along with many different species of plants, making observations and adjustments, and monitoring together ongoing. I'm very excited to bring this new series to TFSN. @the rooted leaf @eaglegardens @MedicallyFit @smileysgarden

Testing The Beelink SER5 PRO Mini PC W11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H(8C/16T up to 4.44 GHz),32GB DDR4

My friend Marty bought this for our second workstation at work. I had been eyeing one for a while since my friend Steve told me about them. So, since we needed a new workstation and this fit the bill, we took the risk to try it. It's a CHAMP o farm and VERY low power consumption. The one we got is a mid-range model, they make even faster versions! This is the one we got: Beelink SER5 PRO Mini PC W11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H(8C/16T up to 4.44 GHz),32GB DDR4

Ram Pump Impetus Foot Valve Weights Comparison Flow Test Delivery Line

This video is a series of tests on my 1.5 inch ram pump comparing different adjustments of the foot valve that is the impetus valve for this pump. With the use of different weights, I am able to adjust the "stroke" frequency of the valve. I test 3 different scenarios of adjustment to determine which delivers the most volume up at the barn which is about 60 vertical feet and over 800 linear feet distant from the pump. The pump is fed with 6.5 feet of head and has an open-flow supply line capacity of 42 GPM on the inlet, at the standpipe that serves it.

How To Calculate A Hydraulic Ram Pump's Efficiency Calibrate Measurments

In this video I demonstrate how to calculate a ram pump's efficiency precisely. By being able to calculate efficiency, we have a measuring stick, so to speak, (a calibrated measurement) for determining if changes we've made have improved overall pump performance in relation to water usage. We are examining total throughput (waste plus pumped water) vs pumped water. #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #grassfedbeef #livestock #waterharvestingsystem #water #rampump #hydraulic #hydraulicrampump #diagnostics #repairs #problems

The Ram Pump Design Manual Calcs Pressure Elevation Measurements Sizing Operation

In this video we discuss the logistics involved in designing a ram pump. We cover everything from site selection and analysis to measuring elevations as well as calculating Hydraulic Ram Pump data to determine water delivery, pressure, volume and more. Included in the video (and below) is a ton of resource information from calculating expected delivery volume to standpipe sizing as well as pump operation theory. Included are some video clips that show my 1.5 Inch pump operation in the field with detailed explanations. If you want to build a ram pump for your homestead, farm or bugout shelter, this manual will help you determine if your site will support a ram pump and calculate the best design for your property and terrain. See below for many other videos that go into greater detail if you are looking for more specific information.

Greenhouse New Thermal Mass Tank 275 Gallon IBC Tote Hydronic Heat Exchanger Raspberry Pi Controlled

In this video I show and explain my new 275 gallon tank as thermal mass. I use a low power 12 volt circulator pump, a Raspberry Pi, thermal sensors, and some python code to turn the circulator on and off. The circulator uses a copper coil as a hydronic heat exchanger to capture heat from the pot on the wood stove to the thermal mass storage tank. The thermal mass storage tank releases it's heat over time, thus regulating the greenhouse environment especially for cold nights in the winter. The Raspberry Pi also acts as a data collector to collect data from the greenhouse which is captured to a database and charted on my home computer via MySQL and PHP.
