New YT Video: How to build a Spring Box
I just wrapped up the spring development on my homestead. If you have water on your land but haven't tapped it yet, this video is for you.
We needed a system to catch "infinite water" and move it to our swales. Here is the breakdown of the build:
- Excavation: Cleared the source to hit the flow.
- The Box: Used a modified plastic tote as the waterproof barrier/gravel cage.
- Filtration: 2" pipes with drilled holes, surrounded by 5,000 lbs of gravel.
- The Test: Clocked in at 15 seconds for 5 gallons (20 GPM).
This setup saved time compared to concrete but required massive back-pressure with earth to stop leaks.
Check out the full process (and the messy install) here: https://youtu.be/0nI6U0Xopf4
