New dumper needs to be called Jeremy after the man who found it for you!
I'd still build the haha but do a small amount of planting on top the prevented young children or something getting too close to the edge but didn't block your view therefore no livestock can get in your garden and Munch away on your plants, a soil shifter the same d&j projects have in their yard

I’m about 10 miles from you, I love seeing the extreme weather days and knowing roughly what day the filming took place, that down pour was last Thursday right?
Your videos are awesome, better than any tv show that focuses so much on being perfect in everything. This is 100% authentic and honest. Great work.
Sh1t shifter for the dumper . Where can I hire one of those pallet levellers 😅
I would probably have some sort of low lying ground cover? Clover, thyme. Something like that so you don't have to mow it! Banks are a pain to mow
Not sure if you were going levelish rather than flat so water runs off?
Choose your bank covering wisely, its step so going to be very hard to mow.
Do the same as they do on some of the banks beside roads in the US plant day Lillies, the root systems hold the bank together, cheap, and looks good.
And now I have that song from O-Zone stuck in my head.😂
Re the brakes: give Eden a couple of spanners: I'm sure she'll fix it for you! 😊
Rubble dumper for the barn build
Barney rubble best at dumping flint and stone
Sorry to ask a daft question but what is the size and/or weight of your mini digger? 👍🏼
Humptwo dumptwo.
Don’t know if you have any large rocks around the farm but you could layer them up and make a low maintenance rockery garden on the bank that would also help as a retaining wall to stop the lawn subsiding in the future. Interesting videos as always.
Mowing may be an issue, the water race outside our property is around the same gradient and around 100-150mtr long and an absolute b** to keep tidy, so perhaps hessian with smaller size grasses planted into it or a hardcore slope (expensive)
Tommy Tipper, Yellow Tip Road, Top Heavy Tipper 😂, Sir Tipsalot
Mrs bucket good name?
The name? PITA, prononounced Peter of couse… Its what you get after sitting in the seat of those machines all day!
We live near a Ha-Ha road and I don’t think I ever thought I’d see someone build one. Great updates btw.
Bank with natural stone and wild flowers and herbs.
Gyoza (dumplings)
The ugly dumpling
The triple dump (drop, tip and dump – or something else that rhymes with hop)
Dumpster fire

If you dig your Haha deeper it becomes a hoho ! 😀
You could always sort you lawn out to satisfy the building inspectors. Then remove said fence 😂
How about Dumpledore for the dumper?
You should build a ho-ho. It's like a ha-ha, only deeper.
Lo Tim, seen the thumbnail and i was sure you were extracting the urine. Thankfully you wern't. Forward thinkin,that's the name of the game. Keep up the good work. Later.
Can we have farm update with animals please
I like to think they called it a ha ha for wjen one had one tipple to many and falls off and everyone laughs at the person.
Contest, how many time was Haha mentioned! Any underground water tank for irrigation/grey water use?
Its all looking good Tim. When is your new baby due? Great video 😊

how about herbie ???? loll what about nice steps down the bank in the middle
Just saw a ha-ha setup with Gabions and thought of y'all. They allow for necessary drainage and look nice.
So all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again.
The word you were looking for was "Riddle". These can be made with either 5' lengths of 1/2" steel bar welded to a square frame or if the stone to be riddled is fairly light stuff you can use " Piano Wire" as it used to be called. We used to call it a "Banjo". The frame needs to lean at about 60 degrees. The spacing of the bars or wire determines how fine the bits are that pass through. I used to use 1/2 chicken wire on a wooden frame for sifting sand. Also I think you will come to regret leaving the edge of the lawn as a bank. I'v seen lots of Railway sleepers around the farm and these would make a good retaining wall. You could back fill with riddled concrete lumps for extra drainage against the sleepers.
Dont forget youll need a permit for your effluent discharge to a watercourse unless you can meet ALL the standard binding rules. Just a heads up dont want you falling foul (haha) of the rules.
