In today's video, I follow up on the urgent task of getting irrigation water to my tiny forest that I started yesterday. For the past 24 hours, the irrigation water has been flowing, but the big question remains: did it reach my 150 newly planted trees in time to save them from the scorching heat? Join me as I assess the situation and find out if my efforts were enough to protect my tiny forest from the relentless sun.
While monitoring the progress of my tiny forest, I also noticed a giant smoke column rising to the east. This could potentially be a wildland fire. I'll be keeping a close eye on this situation and providing updates to ensure the safety of the homestead.
In addition to these critical updates, I'll also be sharing some valuable homesteading tips. Today, I'll show you how to properly care for your fire shovel. This includes:
Cleaning it thoroughly with a rag
Sharpening the edges chisel-style using a mill file
Coating the wood handle with boiled linseed oil to preserve and protect it
Applying Ballistol to the metal parts to prevent rust and damage
