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

Video Description
Transforming a wasteland into a lush desert forest is no small feat, but every journey begins with a single step. Today, at Dustups Ranch, we're taking a crucial one β replanting cactus. π΅ These resilient plants are more than just symbols of the desert; they're key players in enriching the soil and preparing it for future, more diverse vegetation, and eventually...trees. In this episode, we're not just planting β we're laying down the groundwork for a greener future. You'll see the hands-on process, understand our thought behind each step, and hopefully, get inspired by our vision of a desert forest. From barren to bountiful, we're on a mission to make a difference, one cactus at a time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - π Shaun's Amazon wish list: https://amzn.to/4gWzhzI - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - π You probably noticed that I post many of these videos on a delay.
