How Much Water Did We Collect In Our Earthbag Cistern | Harvesting Rainwater Off-grid
We had a couple of decent storms roll through and we got nearly 2 inches of rain. The poly tanks were immediately flowing into our cistern, so we answer the question a lot of people have been asking... How much water is in our off-grid earthbag cistern?

We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who made the leap from city life to an off-grid homestead in Southern Arizona. We've started this lifestyle equipped only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
We’d like to share our journey of starting a sustainable homestead from scratch with all its ups, downs, and lessons learned. Watch us take on the challenge of modern homesteading, off-grid life, and turning this barren piece of land into a desert oasis.

Hey dude. On your PVC piping and all of the connections. You should use a purple primer before you use the bonding agent in your final connections that your happy with. And yes you should have striped away the paint. But, for your low pressure gravity purposes it may not be an issue for you as you already have PVC lines unglued. But, you may see leaks because of continuous temperature fluctuations being above ground. Keep up the good work. This is my first viewing.

Old settler's farming trick for you. When you harvest the first crop save the seeds for next year. The 2nd gen seeds will have semi adapted to the soil condtions and will grow larger. Repeat that cycle and by the 3rd gen the seeds will have almost fully adapted to the local soil conditions and will grow even larger and healthier than those straight from the store.

I love you guys and do not wish to be a downer person, but, as a native of Arizona I know that you are enjoying in the growth of the desert flora and fauna. Just remember, the Monsoon will end and all of that green will dry out and become fuel for fire in the desert. I've seen fire sweep across vast areas of the deserts being fed by all the dried weeds and other plants. While the ground is soft you might think of clearing a defensible fire space around your place so when the rest of the desert drys out your place will be safer because you pulled out all the non-native weeds and other plants. Keep up the great work!

SOME ADDITION ADVICE ,! Now that you have a ton of flowers, grass , weeds etc growing around the property go out every day or every other day and cut a bunch of grass and flowers and feed them to your chickens , they will eat bugs that are on the vegetation and even eat some of that vegetation, what doesn't get eaten will soon turn into mulch or manure ! It's a win win situation

@@michaelvangundy226 ... I suspect that even with a chlorinator system they would still need some periodic cleaning, mostly due to the added heat, which will make stuff grow inside. Might be wise to have a few spare containers in rotation just to slip in as they get cleaned and reinstalled. Even still, this would not be good for potable water. That should be another series of containers under a more stringent cleaning schedule.

Thornless honey locust is a great tree. The leaves are small, great for compost and the tree itself is a nitrogen fixer. They grow just about anywhere under any conditions or soil quality. The pith inside of the seed pods can be used as a sugar alternative. The branches that shed in the fall (Thin and flexible) are great for wattle and daub or for weaving.

Howdy, Jim & Jessica! FYI, I also have a plastic water tank, same material as your IBC totes, except it is a cylindrical 500 gallon one. it wasn't painted and when I rolled it onto its side for easy cleaning, it cracked because the sun had caused it to become brittle. Gonna paint it with white latex, which will block sunlight just as well as black, but without generating heat. ;-) Also, I have a shovel with a fiberglass handle, just like yours. The sun calcified the surface, leaving glass fibers that got all over my hands and gloves every time I used it. I went to Ace and asked for latex paint to coat the handle, but they had a spray on rubberized tool handle coating. Feels much better. Last but not least, Why don't you use a 10 ft long PVC or wooden dip stick to check your water level in the cistern? Beats falling in head first. lol :-)

I love your videos the fact that you're storing rain and you two kids are really making it out in the middle of a desert and the only thing I got to say about you young man is that you are continuously hauling way too much weight, youre really blowing your muscles out, your whole body. At your age I was really strong for being a woman, my mama's work horse if you know what I mean. I did the same but, around 64, 63 I really overdid it, thinking I was in fallible, still strong, stronger than a lot of men. You're young now, and I know you got a world of work to do ahead of you both you and Jess. Course you're a man and you got the muscles for that kind of stuff but it doesn't hurt to be kind to yourself, either!!!. You're too very active people, but oh crew he knows what he's doing, you got to take time to rest, those bodies!!! Listen somewhat to the old folks what they got to say,cuz I can prove that if you don't you definitely going to be hurting one of these days and it ain't going to just be a little hurt here or there you going to be hurting all over and wishing the hey you would have treated your body a little bit better.not trying to ball you out and just give you a little old time common Sense from the old folks it's been there and done it GB&KY& Y's.......

Water! Worth its weight in gold in the desert. A 12 volt marine bilge pump makes a great transfer pump. You can put a car battery on a small solar charger. Install a standard plug on the pump and battery so you can use a regular extension cord instead of hauling the battery around. Cover or shade those containers the sun will take its toll. The frames and tanks cut in half make good planting containers.

We used to live in Cochise county and it's amazing how lush the high desert can become during an active monsoon season. I've seen grasses over 6' tall in Sept.

Measure your cistern fullness: Get a long clean dry pole (like a saguaro rib) dip it into the water so it touches the bottom, pull it up and measure the wet mark.

A question for Jess; have you researched the "three sisters" corn, squash, beans as the native Americans used to grow; I think in your area....

Arizona has so many good qualities and Homesteaders earth bag, earth ships, arcosanti, Frank lloyd Wright geodesic domes, rammed earth construction , artistic and Architectural wonders by very innovative persons like yourselves. I wonder how New Mexico laws are favorable to this kind of homesteading?
