Today we are discussing the water capture system at Sage Hill Ranch Gardens where they are using the water from washing vegetables to water their gardens in Southern California.
We discuss a de-silting tank setup, the pumps they use, recapturing farm water to save money, and more.

Fn geniuses and a hard worker to make all that happen through trial, error, and money to make it all work together. I really appreciate this

1st thing I built before starting my urban garden was a rainwater harvesting system. Two 55gal (415l.) drums connected by a syphon hose. Due to the placement of my overflow holes, the net capacity is probably closer to 100 gallon (378l.). They've yet to go lower than half full (or half empty - lol) but we do get a lot of rain in Puerto Rico. No first flush system as it's not meant for potential human consumption; just a chef colander to filter debris. My plants love that water and it makes for some 60 toilet flushes if, after a hurricane, the water authority cuts out...

This is awesome! My area averages 17” of precipitation a year so it’s pretty dry and I just installed gravity fed rainwater drip irrigation to my garden and orchard that to my surprise is working excellently! I already see that trial and error will cause some re tinkering but that’s how these things happen. Also use a lot of grey water for orchard and bolstering native mesquite, juniper and piñon trees around the property. Huge success with this. Thanks for the inspiration. Every context is different but seeing how others are doing it is super helpful.

One expedient option for the two big tanks would be to have a hose between the two, automatically siphoning water so they maintain the same level, rather than having both going to the pump. You would need something like a bowl stuck to the bottom of each tank where the hose ends so that the siphon hose always has water at both ends

@hoosierpioneer Ай бұрын

That bowl idea is great. It keeps from losing siphon when one of the tanks is empty, right?

@davidpenfold Ай бұрын

@@hoosierpioneer indeed! They would need to be level with each other too. Another idea is to potentially prime the siphon with the bowls/buckets before lowering them into the tanks to make priming easier.

My Grandmother, born in rural TN in 1923, would dip the water from the washing machine before the final rinse emptied. That water would be used to water flowers, vegetables, fruits or trees as needed during the hot, dry summers in North Central Alabama. Wash water from the market vegetables would go back to the garden as well.

I love all No-Till Growers videos!

@cgriffin5380 Ай бұрын

Tell him to put a siphoning pipe between the two large holding tanks and the upper tank will automatically flow into the lower tank removing the need for the sump pump transfer. I hope this helps.

Nice set up for watering , saving $3000 a month is a lot, must be expensive in California for water.💧

@ohmimprovement5767 Ай бұрын

In Chicago we use traps like that, they're called CB Traps for catch basins. Grease floats to the top and clean water is pushed up from the bottom of the trap into the main sewer. It's essentially a giant grease trap that's a manhole in homeowners back yards.

Ive become a big proponent of ecosystem ponds for ranwater capture, they can hold several ibc tanks in a small pond, and work with nature in a way that is as beautiful as it is beneficial. Might not work alone for wash pack, but could be part of any system i think.

@Dirt-Fermer Ай бұрын

Doing this on my own property. Will have one big pond for fish and wildlife but can easily steal 5-10 gallons from if I had to in between rains but I will have many small ponds for watering crops all year at different locations. I plan to have them lead into a hose at the end of each small pond and the ponds would be slightly raised so you could easily fill up any buckets or watering can with the hose and any crops nearby could be watered if it was beneath the raised ponds.

I would love to see how farmer J would do a video of companion planting but how the hell do you properly irrigate rows of random planted swapping plants with different spacing I tried this yr to try a 100 ft row 4 ft wide and do it. I'm missing something here

@AlexHaser Ай бұрын

Love your videos! Very cool setup, especially given the geography of the farm. I'm working on something similar for my farm and this video gave me some new inspiration. Curious if there are any concerns/ precautions taken for food safety using recaptured water, especially on things like greens.

@lksf9820 Our states are as big as many countries. The geography and people are as diverse also. You could spend multiple lifetimes in the States and still never see or experience all of it. Needing to leave your country to experience more diversity from life, really isn't the flex you seem to think it is.
