WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FARM? Asking an Expert to Judge My Farm

so I bought the wrong tub so you probably bought the wrong tub this is actually going to be one of the biggest mistakes that firsttime livestock owners actually make on their Farm uh-oh homesteading is hard especially when you have no idea what you're doing 10 years ago I planted my very first seed and picked up my first tool I had never even had a dog or a cat and 4 years ago we moved our 1 acre Farm to a 30 Acre Farm and I still kind of have no idea what I'm doing but I love reading and asking for help and to that and I've invited my friend Carson who is a sixth generation farmer a soil and animal nutrition expert to come and tell me how I'm doing okay Carson why don't you take a look at what's going on around here and give me a grade perfect so the first thing you're going to look at an when we're trying to evaluate how your cows are doing is first their poop second their hair coat so let's do that let's find some good poop to look at there's plenty of it then we'll look at their hair coat and we'll kind of see how your cows are doing perfect let's go okay and so what you're actually going to look at here when you're looking at their manure is first the shape of the Patty this will tell us if they have enough protein or not enough protein or too much protein okay so if a cow has not enough protein this pile would be a big tall pile and look extremely dry oh interesting if they had too much protein it'd be like a wet mess that had no structure to it okay and this is showing me that they have just about the right amount of protein now like they're eating grass where's the protein coming from well it's coming from the grass okay you know even even dry hay will have protein in it yep oops are you getting over here he's just like getting me a little bit he's being nice he's just checking me out so anyways the protein comes from the feed you're feeding like hay even hay will have protein in it okay then also you're supplementing a protein supplement which we'll check out a little bit later but that's where the protein coming from and also even though this looks like dry grass this green grass here has a good amount of protein in it so cool so like a round Patty flat not tall not tall and dry yep but you and you also see see these little tiny things of hay that or grass that have been you can see just little tiny partial pieces of hay if they're like a couple inches long you are having digestion issues these look perfect all right well cool I mean there's another pile like right here actually should we look at this one and this one looks really different the reason I think that it looks so different is it's probably from one of your younger animals just by the way it's like clotted together instead of a Patty as much younger animals their gut works just a little bit different so I would be judging off your cows not so much your cows yeah the adult cows cuz you can see they look completely different look by the way oh that's beautiful pee okay just the right color yeah good good to know this evaluation comes with a free back massage too so just so you know yeah it was actually a good massage wow we're in the middle of a tornado too oo not in Kansas anymore so the next thing we're going to evaluate an is their hair coat hair coat usually is one of the best indicators on how your animals are doing the problem is we're kind of in Winter right now yeah which winter hair coats make it a little more difficult okay so let's look at a couple of your animals tell me their names okay so this is Ella here okay Ella and Ella was raised like like she's been raised here her whole life she she's my Cal Reba's daughter this guy Willie Nelson he just arrived okay perfect so let's evaluate these two okay so looking at this cow here y you can see even though it's winter and her hair coats a little longer their hair coats can be completely different in Winter than summer oh oh yeah totally they get their their summer haircut and they shed it all off and then they like they're like slick slicked off right so looking at her hair coat her hair looks healthy and vibrant you're not seeing really dull colors like she looks really really good that's what your cow's coat should look like in the winter you're doing good there but let's look at him yeah so he's going to be a little different cuz he's a Highland cross right so his hair is going to be longer and kind of more ragged but you can see he's kind of got little bit doer mutter colors totally and I think that's probably because of his age yeah he's 12 yeah he's 12 which is a good age for a bull so like for him he's not doing near as well as she is y that comes from he's new to your place he's learning your nutrition program and he's a little older yeah but overall I think they look okay there's not anything you're seeing that's like concerning here that's that's the dream because I've been in and out of a lot of different therapy offices over the years I know the struggles that so many people have trying to figure out if their insurance is taken or trying to find availability and better help the sponsor of today's video helps to eradicate a lot of those issues because you literally fill out a survey online you can find a therapist within 48 hours you can schedule your appointments on your phone and then you can actually have your appointments right there from your phone or your computer as well for the last several months Monday evenings at 9:00 p.m. are when I meet with my therapist from the convenience of my own office I make a cup of tea and I sit down and we chat about life and because of that my therapist actually almost got to see some goat births of her very own when you know the goats didn't really follow the schedule like they should have if you're struggling and you need to talk to somebody about it check out betterhelp and if you go to betterhelp.com animal trades you will get 10% off of your first month therapy okay Carson this is Otis and this is Duke so their hair coats looks a little ragged but I think that's mostly coming from the fact it's winter not because they're like in poor health okay one of the things you can tell is just by the color and they're not like a muted color or anything like that so if it's like dull looking as opposed to like you know vibrant colorful like look how dark Rich red he is and that's part of his coloring but like it's a vibrant color it's not a dull color totally so like on a black cow you can tell because they'll be like more of a brownish color than a black so that's kind of how you tell oh du good boy boy Duke's a very good boy he was a twin actually believe it or not you can tell he's really wild too yeah he's he's a good boy you can tell he's been licking himself that's also a good sign that they're content and happy Oh I like happy animals well Duke you get what what would you give him like a I would give him like probably like a B+ like he's doing really good well above passing huh he might even be better let's go a minus well we don't have to you know we can gr on a scale here okay he's doing awesome overall they look really good the only one I would keep my eye on is Willie Nelson The Bull little will and I really just think part of it's just his age so I wouldn't be too worried but just keep an eye on him okay we will do that you want to go over by your mineral tub yep so let's go talk minerals all right I literally didn't even know what a mineral tub was but but the guy at the co-op told me I needed a mineral tub for the winter and so I was like great one of the biggest mistakes that firsttime calers make is they buy the wrong tub and it's kind of expensive purchase like these aren't cheap oh yeah this is like I think this is like 150 bucks yeah so it's not like it's like a small purchase to mess up on yeah and I think if you want to have like good healthy cows that are like sustainable on your land you're probably going to want to buy the right one okay well tell me do I buy the right one or not let's look at the the label so and looking at here so very typical that the first things that are going to be in it's molasses because it's a molasses tub right but as you go down the list one of the things you notice is one of the top ingredients on the list is Ura is Ura like the same thing that's in our PE yep it's it's also a nitrogen fertilizer it's not really built to be a cow feed oh so I bought the wrong tub so you probably bought the wrong tub okay so one thing to look at like a quick cheater to be to know if you bought the right tub is if you're getting above 20% protein on a tub it's probably got Ura in it okay so this is a 24% tub and actually the blue things that I use all over the farm are from the 16% tubs is that a guaranteed indicator or no it's not a guaranteed indicator but it's a good indicator like another way is usually tubs that are they'll put like the word a an after for all natural that will often times not have Ura but also check your ingredients yeah totally it's usually going to be one of the top ingredients see if it says Ura it's Ura my opinion is go to the next one yeah that's wild I mean like the thought that what's in our pee is also a protein which is also like a nitrogen fertilizer like I mean I'm not a scientist but I never really thought about things that way yep and like I said there there is a function for it and it'll function but your cows are not going to be in like their natural state when it's when they're using Ura okay is there anything I need to take into consideration like they have this tub should I take it away like like no no I wouldn't take it away cuz right now you could see your cows are like at the right level of protein y but you'd probably be at the same level if you were using the 16% that had all natural proteins compared to a 24% that had Ura another thing to consider with protein tubs like this and is in the spring when your grass is like really growing fast and it's really rich that's a time to actually take the protein tub away okay because the grass is going to be really protein Rich so that's why we actually look at the manure so we can be reading what the cows have going on inside their guts oh sure so like I do rotational grazing and so when there is fresh grass like the first day that I put them on the fresh grass like they like all get diarrhea for a day and then it resolves itself is that like what's causing that too much protein so they're what they'll do is they'll go in the pasture get the highest protein feed and then they'll get the runs and then they'll kind of go on Lower protein feed but yeah take this away once you start getting into like good grass season okay all right so already from the things you've told me I'm now looking at Willie Nelson in a different way because I saw the place he came from like they were doing things absolutely right and I was like really confident about like the health of their other cows but now that I am looking closer at him he does look like significantly rougher than all the rest of the animal here yeah it's it's something you can see and something you should be always paying attention to it's going to be one of the first signs that something's not quite right okay and so like is this something that could be like mitigated in any way with with minerals or with like something else that I could do or is it literally just like what would I do about it yeah I think that one of the keys is actually to make sure that they're getting other minerals just in free choice like a mineral tub okay so do you have another so you're actually giving them other minerals so there in Li is the thing I actually thought this was fine for the winter like because they have it but then I have been taking it away in the spring and then they have kelp meal they have red men minerals number 10 fine salt the bent night clay and oh the garlic one that helps them with the Flies so one thing to remember an that one of the most important minerals even in the winter is going to be your salt oh so they need that like year round and there's not enough in there for them yeah there's probably not enough in the mineral tub so when you have mineral tubs out also have free choice salt okay learned that would probably help him quite a bit really yes salt is probably the most important for the metabolic functions in the animal and here we've been told for the last 30 years that salt is bad for your heart salt is something that no one is talking about and probably the reason is there's just not a lot of money in it I mean that makes sense like this costs 150 bucks that much salt would probably cost like what 15 bucks 15 bucks yeah so follow the money follow the money all right Carson the guy who helps me cut my haze says that my grass and my soil in this pasture could definitely use some improvement and I'm doing my best I'm doing the rotational grazing stuff I'm trying to do stuff but do a do an evaluation on my soil and my grass and tell me what I need to do okay let's check it out okay all right Carson be gentle I'm doing my best here okay let's look at your grass let's do it so one thing that I'm seeing is that most of your grasses that are in the like that are legit grasses look like they're just Fescue oh yeah Fescue is a big deal around here according to the lady at the co-op when I was trying to buy my grass seed Fescue is all any farmer needs and cows love it and that's all I should plant and I think that's like a mistake a lot of people make is that they'll go in and like this one variety of grass works so great in my area so I'm just going to plant one variety yeah that sounds like a monocrop yeah even though it's supposed to be pasture right there there's a couple things you have to be careful with that one of them is most grasses either are cool season or a warm seasoned grass okay so cool seasoned grasses will grow in the spring and the fall really well and when it gets really hot they go more dormant okay warm seasoned grasses grow when it's really warm would it kind of makes sense to have a mixture of the both both of them one would think the other thing is you want to add more than just grass so like clovers legumes and the reason you want to do that is for fixing nitrogen there's a lot of reasons diversity for grazing for your cows cuz we just learned that cows will go out and they will pick the best quality of feed right so wouldn't we want to have the most variety so they can do that yeah totally the other thing I'm seeing is you do have a fair amount of weed yeah and most people would be like oh man weeds how are we going to get rid of weeds should we spray them Etc weeds don't bother me too much not even cocko burst well they bother me when they get stuck in like my dog's hair yeah they oh my gosh they're like literally they're all over you they don't bother me too much because it's probably just nature trying to heal itself sure that's what it does if you have a bare patch of Earth like something will come up right it's I like to call it Nature's cover crop will come up and like for instance since cockle bur it's going to come in some places that are really like it'll come in bare soil okay and places with poor drainage so it's trying to fix the soil so that you fix those problems okay that makes total sense but overall I think you have a good start cuz you actually have the ground covered Prett pretty well I think the main thing you're need to do is just add some more diversity and that'll make a big impact on what you can do with your soil here so like just plant more species plant more species and then once you do that plant some more and then you'll be good okay another thing that people have recommended around here is that I either burn the field or till the field and like just completely replant is there anything that you would recommend like should I till it my recommendation on that is no okay tillage is always a tool you can use but you have a really good start so I would not do that burning is always an option too but you have something even better it's called a cow that will take this rough feed and turn it into manure which will then feed your soil which will then help it out so you're doing it within nature cycle instead of like making doing a cycle that works best for you okay cool you can also use something that will like help stimulate the your the soil like fertilizer like you you know fertilizers actually sometimes do the opposite as much as we think but one thing I'd recommend is the Redmond mineralite products because they are great boost to not only the soil microbes and biome in the soil but also give the plant a big boost and so that the plant quality goes up okay so like I have 18 Acres of pasture here like is is that going to be an insanely expensive thing like I mean am I going to take like a tons of little bags and like put them in my little cedar or like how how does that work if you're going to like if you're going to remineralize a whole pasture that is a great question you can either if you have a small area just use small bags that you can buy online and ship but if like a larger area we can send it to you in a tote like a tote bag 2 like on a pet or like on a pallet then you put it in like a little spreader and spread it out okay well there you have it I literally had this question for the last four years because I truly did not know how like how to go about doing that I wanted to I didn't know what to do I didn't know like what tool to use but now we do now you do my other really big question is whether I need a barn or not because all the locals here would tell you like cows don't need a barn but I feel like they do and I would also like to build one but I also don't have a ton of money so like do you have any thoughts on that yeah my opinion is barns are very helpful and they can really help with shade but the main thing is you want to do it cheaply cuz you could also cause yourself a lot of problem spending way too much money on your barn oh I have some experience with that why don't we take a a quick field trip to Tyler's and we'll take a look at her barn and talk about like if I were to do something like that what you would recommend perfect let's do it okay okay Carson this is Tyler's Dairy Barn this is where we do our Dairy business and I just brought my cow cheder in so that we can look at Q animals while we talk about like using what we've got to get where we need to go so let's go on in when I was showing you this Barn Carson you were telling me that you just absolutely loved the the utility of this building I think so many homesteaders getting started think that they can't get started cuz they don't have enough money to do things the way that I think a lot of YouTubers show it and so yeah let like look around and tell me what you're seeing so some of my favorite things is how you've made like your staions over here add a literal 2x4s and it looks like maybe some scrap lumber from around the farm oh yeah there is no first used wood anywhere in this building and and that just like if you look around the building everything is reused this looks like an old cedar or something yeah yeah the all the posts in the barn were literally just cedar trees that yeah bark stripped off and used as posts and then all the lumber like the walls the the roofing and everything you'll notice like nothing is the same size it's all just like Cedar seconds from from the local Mill yeah and like you said some of the biggest Investments we make when we start our homesteads is on infrastructure and if we do something like this first yeah it makes a big difference oh yeah we're actually standing on a new and improved concrete floor we saved up for the last 4 years to to put in a new floor and to make some other improvements that would just make things better for us and for the cows while we were milking cleaning the floor sweeping when the cows would like poop on it and stuff like on the cracked concrete was so difficult and so it's like yeah I'm super pumped about this new floor it's real fancy even the milk room where like everything has to be really clean and temperature controlled I mean this was an old walk-in freezer that like you know Tyler just figured out how to put back together and it's I mean it works great it doesn't have to be pretty or perfect to work it just has to work function over form absolutely what do you think better cheddar are you looking everyone's bowls clean she is she's like I'm and she's like there's not enough now okay well I'll go get you a little scoop of food okay buddy chaff for you my lady okay well and actually since I have my animal nutrition expert here let's talk a little bit about ched you know she had a surprise calf very very early less than ideal in every regard and she wasn't Dam raised which is what we prefer but like what can we do to help her out a little here I think one thing you have to realize is we're talking about a dairy cow instead of a beef cow so when you look at her you might think oh my goodness she's skinny yeah but that is what they're genetically bred to be they're not genetically bred to be fat so overall like her confirmation and being a little skinny that's a normal Dairy breed animal is going to be like that I think the keys is just to make sure she has enough access to good quality hay yep like your chaff ha that you're feeding her yep and then also love our chaff ha around here it's great stuff and then also make sure if she ACC has access to her minerals I think she'll be just fine she'll just catch right up and be just fine if they're having like poor Rin function and anything do you have anything to do for that yeah I would usually recommend putting it's you called it earlier the bentonite clay which is called Redmond conditioner okay and the reason is is it ALS it helps with rumin function but it'll also help with acid problems and toxin binding it does a lot of really cool things so if I was having like function problems on my cows that's one thing I'd go to you said that was basically like the cow version of Tums right yeah yeah cuz your cow's stomach doesn't you know they have multiple stomachs that don't work off acid to break things down so too much acid causes a lot of problems okay so this will come in and like buffer we call it buffering but that's just like taking Tums it takes care of your heartburn huh that's so cool see we are going to get real Nerdy with this stuff have you ever heard the old wives tale about the rudimentary teeth she has six tits which everyone always said was like a like would create a lot more butter fat right I haven't heard that one but usually there's a lot of Truth to the wise Tales I always pay attention to like when people say grandpa used to say this because there's usually more truth to that than you know well I mean I quote my grandpa a whole lot on this channel so I love hearing that that's awesome so an you're doing I see you're doing rotational grazing M so do you actually know what the cows per acre that people can run in this general area is I asked the people at the co-op like what like how many cows I could have for like the land that I have and they say it's a one to one one cow per acre that's pretty cool cuz that's very important cuz everywhere in the country is different where I run my cows it could be like one cow to 139 Acres wait 139 yeah I live in the desert so it could be a little bit different people are usually running in the thousands of Acres not in like one to two to three acres it's in the thousands usually I literally can't even imagine what that's like another just question I have for you is do you have some special way to set up your rotational grazing fences because I'll definitely say that it takes me about 10,000 steps because I have like I can't carry very many of these at once I'll put them in the back of the UTV or whatever but then I'll have to still walk back up the hill and like then get the Reel and like unreal all the wire and then I have to go get the charger and then I have to come back down to the bottom and like hook everything up and turn it on and so I'm sure that there's probably a more efficient way to do this do you have one I do and I like that you ask that cuz it's one of the reasons people stop rotational grazing because they start doing that and they're like I'm not going to do that today I'm too tired I'm just going to take the reel down and we're done oh yeah when it's like 100° outside and 80% humidity I definitely like the first thing I want to do in the morning is not run up and down this 30% grade Hill carrying a bunch of stuff so let me grab your reel and some post and let's take a look Okay cool so here's the problem it's really hard to be able to like hold this and and be holding a bunch of posts at the same time oh there's no way like it's impossible so here's one way that I found you just put it right here on the back of your belt oh like you've got yourself a little tail yep oh my gosh and then as you go you could be carrying these no way and you might have to make some adjustments to this right might add some you can put this in the ground and then as you're doing it then you can just kind of reach back here and grab it as you go by put the fence in dude you just saved me like 10,000 steps just make sure you wear a good belt I guess I'll have to get one of those yeah there you go then you're just walking you're carrying the things and you're putting it down as you go well then my question is like does premier one sell special belts for this they better start so speaking about rotational grazing what I actually run into as I travel across the country is people have a problem with their watering system that's the biggest barrier for people starting to rotational graze oh 100% water has been the bane of my existence since we moved here so there's no hose spigots there's no water anywhere so for the last couple years what I've been doing is like I've been making Lanes or Pathways to one water trough that I can reach like a hose from the house to and then I spend time filling Waters every day it's it's extremely inefficient and because the lanes get so dusty in the summer from the cows walking over it I mean I had a calf who got summer pneumonia this year and I was genuinely worried about like that in the future so we have this 2-year long project that I have just finally figured out how to get water down here like this is previously a lot of buckets I had to carry all the time especially you know in cold weather and stuff but I just dug this little well and it does not actually have a pump attached to it it's an artisian well and I if I go down hill the water works but I still have no way to get the water up to the top of the hill to the top pastures so that's like basically half the half this now has water and half doesn't do you have any idea how I could get this up the hill or like do something more efficient than my hose thing well there's a couple ways and and when I'm going to come at this I'm always going to be at an economical like level we want it to be cheap right cheap is the best so I'd think something like a ram pump would be a good investment okay and the other thing I'd maybe recommend is maybe just using like a you know like a 200 gallon IBC Tote in the back of your pickup or on a trailer okay that might be an inexpensive way and it wouldn't kill you to carry the buckets anymore yeah just to take it up there and then you could water them a couple times a day oh yeah that's really smart I could put like I just like make a little trailer for my four-wheeler or something for the IBC Tote and just then fill it with the hose yeah fill it with the hose and then go up to the trough let the water out and it would be pretty simple easy peasy lemon squeezy we like it that way all right the next big question I have for you comes to pigs because this is my first year with pigs I mean we have a pet pig that we inherited from our neighbor but I mean raising pigs to raise pigs so I have nothing but questions however I also o did a pretty cool project I can't wait to show you using the pigs at the suggestion of our very wise neighbor let's go check them out yep okay Carson don't judge me too much as we come in here this is the pig pen actually my little chicken coop right there doubles as a pig pen at the moment because it's what I had and I needed to figure out something that worked that's part of owning a livestock it sure is check this out this is like maybe my proudest achievement on this property so far this Pond never held water until an Old Timer told me all you need to do is put some clay in the bottom and put some pigs on it so that's what we did coming from the desert this like really impresses me because we try to capture every little ounce of water we can absolutely so the other cool thing that you mentioned is that Clay is one of the best ways to make it so your pond doesn't just evaporate or just go into the ground yeah but the the interesting thing is not all Clay is created equal okay people all think that every bentonite clay is the same but it's not what what's bentonite clay as opposed to like I mean like our soil's clay what's right so bentonite clay is just a class or a family of Clays but within that there's a whole bunch of different types of Bentonite there's calcium Bentonite sodium Bentonite so there's a lot of different bentonites how am I going to find out if I put the right Bentonite on my pond well I think think it's important to actually find one you know you can always just go buy the local clay that's really inexpensive but I think you need to find one that's like been tested for that purpose okay if that makes sense so one of the good ones is pwn seal by Redmond it's a great one um it's been shown that the swelling ability of the clay is like usually about three or four times higher than just normal bentonite clay so could I put like could I sprinkle the pond sealer on like on the on it and like have it float down in it or or is it too late no I think that would probably work the best way to do it it's when the Pond's empty putting a layer but that will also work it's better than not doing any of it right yeah so I mean kind of going back to the scale of things like obviously everyone's like size of of area is going to be different with like spreading minerals on the field or spreading minerals in the garden or like doing anything here like what what kind of volume are we talking about for a pond that size um it would actually be more volume than you'd think I would think probably like four or five totes of like 3,000 lb totes would be what you that would be put a 1 in layer that's if that's if you want this Pond to never leak again yeah like you can do it what your budget allows but that's like if you want to do it one time and never have any other problems you can do that way holy moly okay well good to know hopefully it won't start leaking again hopefully I did put the right kind on but if I didn't we'll find out you know who to talk to right okay now I want you to actually look at my pigs and and tell me about them perfect let's go okay so this thing is a little worse for wear at the moment it's in need of some minor repairs which actually is why I took the chickens out in the first place but then when I needed a really dry spot for the pigs because they had been so successful at turning this into a mud pit I put a floor in there and just like filled it with straw and as you can see they're pretty cozy in here and this is kind of my favorite thing all of a sudden but one thing I am what is happening here I think he taking ya oh my gosh he's just napping my biggest thing with animals is I want to be a good Steward I've tried to find as much information about like Pig nutrition and everything else as I could find but like you know for for the cows we talked about minerals like I I I have a free Choice mineral buffet for my My Goats do I need to have that for my pigs because I definitely don't well that's a good question actually because of how pigs are fed and how they eat like a grain ration usually the the fee that they that's made for them has everything they need in it oh so they don't need like their own like licks salt licks or anything no it actually salt might be one that you could put out with them okay and they'll eat it if they need it but usually they formulate the ration to be exactly what a pig needs oh well that's good to know look at how cute they these these they're such good girls I love these girls so much they're like so gentle I mean like this is something that could absolutely kill me in a heartbeat like they're they're beefy babies but they're so sweet they know their names well both of them are named Kevin Bacon even though they're girls this is Kevin Bacon black ears and this is Kevin Bacon pink ears and I am hoping I just took an artificial insemination class so we're hoping to have some baby piggies but even thinking about that that's why I'm thinking like how how do I get them in absolute Peak condition so that they're ready to get pregnant I think the key to that an is actually most pigs are formulated for like stages of their growth cycle so like they'll be grower pig feed and they'll be finisher pig feed so just make sure that you have the right feed for the cycle in which the pigs like fing pig feed yeah yeah like make sure and talk to your feed store or your Co-op okay and that will kind of be your best thing but just make sure you have the right stage of Life awesome well that makes my life a whole lot easier that's one thing that's nice about pigs is they're not out on grass you don't have to be guessing cuz they have it pretty well formulated for them cool ah gosh if I had my whole farming life to do over again I think I'd just do pigs and cows I love my goats I like the chickens are awful as we know I do love my donkeys too but like man pigs and cows make life well I should say pigs and cows with the right infrastructure make life a lot easier literally since I've put in the automatic waterers like that has changed my life with with cows like 1,0% yeah when you don't have the right infrastructure it makes farming or homesteading miserable totally miserable oh gosh you guys are so cute all right we'll leave you alone sorry I disrupted your Slumber that thing when it was like yawning was the cutest thing I've ever seen I it's so good so and we talk about fishing a lot are you going to stock your or what you going to do with it well I I mean actually that's a question I have for you because obviously as you can see it looks a little bit like an advertisement for Gardia at the moment so like is there like I want to put fish in it that would be great but like what should I put in it I think that's a good question because just like your grass you don't want to just go put one fish cuz you want them to have different purposes so I think something like maybe a catfish and where you're in the warm warm climate probably Bass something like that that's what I would go with okay cool Adam we're going to go buy some fishies all right Carson you are the soil expert and that's the real reason you're here so what do you think should we grade my soil let's do it okay we'll see you in that video [Music] cheers [Music]
