Howdy!ποΈ I'm turning 320 acres of Texas desert wasteland into a desert forest in the MOST isolated spot in Texas! My name is Shaun! I live in Texas and I run my own business integrating software systems. And now I'm buying 320 acres of West Texas wasteland?!? You might ask, βWhy buy this land?β I want a challenge. One of the first properties that came up matched absolutely everything I was looking for. -,The land is almost completely barren. -,Monsoon rains bring water at the height of summer, when itβs most needed. - Itβs under $250 an acre - A wash in the middle looks like it has potential to capture massive amounts of water I don't know if this project will work out for me or not, but one thing is for sure: it will be interesting. Do you want to mail me something? Please use the address below. But, please let me know to expect some mail. Dustups Eagle Mountains, LLC PO Box 532 Sierra Blanca, TX 79851-0532

Creating a sustainable ecosystem in such a challenging environment requires innovative solutions. With the help of a grant from the NRCS, Iβm setting up BDAs to capture and infiltrate water more effectively. This new structure will complement the dirt bathtubs, terraces, and check dams that we've previously established. Despite the difficulties of rocky soil and unpredictable rain, progress is being made. We aim to establish a robust underground water flow to support plant life. I'm just trying to make the most of every opportunity to learn and grow. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - π‘ Useful Resources π Sign up to Dustups newsletter https://dustupsranch.com/ π BTC Donations: 3MbcxZzYpRjNRJJP55ZdBtt8TWfp7SS9bR π Get access to Dustups 2D/3D map by joining the membership program at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dustups/membership π The Facebook group where like-minded people connect: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dustups - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - π In case you missed the previous episode, hereβs a shortcut: Why This Grass is a Game-Changer for My Desert Ranch https://youtu.be/0p9bWku6Yww - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #desertforest #desertplanting #greeningthedesert
