We made a bit of a risky investment in a broken machine to hopefully save us some manual labor during the rest of our ~600ft long electric trench project. Can Alex can revive this little machine?!

ABOUT US: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
We upload a KZfaq video every Saturday night at 7️⃣pm EST, and post daily on Instagram and Facebook!

Nice work! In the future, just stuff a garden hose in the tench/dirt and let it run for a day. Much easier, faster, and better fill/compaction than a jumping jack.

That sounds pretty muddy! In our case we don't have water yet, and the mud river would end up over the neighbors driveway lol

@@MasonDixonAcres Oh, no, the river would be underneath the surface. Stick the hose down in the back filled trench and run the water. The water stays down in and you never see it (it flows within the trench and seeps into the ground under the backfill). The running water collapses the backfill and settles it. My trench was completely compacted/settled within a day or so just using a garden hose stuck down in the trench. That was a couple years ago and no settling since. But, yeah, you’d want thousands of gallons depending on length and soil type.
