Do you only work, or can you talk too?

Yes, tree is planted too deep, it will struggle or die. Try putting pipe in the hole to water from the bottom. Encourages roots to grow down. Especially important in arrid climate.

If someone is interested i have a barn and agriculture land for sale, in Santarém (center Portugal).

If you want stacks of firewood to be vertical lined up at the edges, stacking the 3 outermost logs perpendicular every second layer is stabilizing the stack and avoids 'log-slide'.

Hi, just find your channel, love it ❣❣❣, we leave in Swiss but, my family comes from Alentejo… I can almost smell it, wen you're going around ,and I miss it soooo much…. I know it's very hard work ,keep the good work.

Hi from Australia. You may need to check that the plant with the ants doesn't have aphids or mealy bug, they bring the ants up. Have a good week. 🌺🙂

You guys are great…..Good luck and much happiness to both of you.

Hello, Love your drawing of the flowers. And so lovely and funny the dog tails. 😂

A tip for making your logs last longer. If you go to your local olive press and ask them if you can have a few sacks of last year's (remains) of the harvest.
The olive press throws out the pips and skin and over the year it dries out into a breadcrumb texture if you open the vent on your stove and get the logs red then put a small shovel of the (olive breadcrumbs) on then with the vent still open get it red then turn it down your fire will last longer and the stove will get really hot.
I was taught this on a Greek island by some old age pensioners and the owners of the press they gave us these olive (remains) for free. So it stretches out your logs, your logs and the olive (remains) need to be dry and be from last year so if you go now before this year's harvest with a few sacks and a shovel hopefully they will give you some. This only works on a closed stove as it does smell a bit when it's burning. Hope this tip helps it got us through a few winters.

We’ll done guys….not just the synchronised tail wagging but the rescue of the biggest puppy in the region!!😂❤

I just want to commend you guys on the fantastic dog rescue (Eddie the dog from Ken and Gina @ Portugal Farm Life)!! Great job!!! It’s another example of people joining and helping each other out in a new place you are all now part of the community!! Excellent!!!🎉

Beijinhos 😘 de Lisboa

Like 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Oh rain!!! Our garden is looking nice and green now we have had a couple of rainfalls. Love how quickly the ground responds to a bit of water by straight away sprouting lovely fresh grass. On the less good side of rain…weeds! Also sprouting very quickly but ahh I am loving the tease of cooler weather… when will not actually ARRIVE I wonder… it’s mid October! Your garden is indeed looking lovely 🌿🦋🐛

The part with Iwan holding the dogs both wagging their tales was great 🙂. Ken an Gina are fortunate to have you guys as friends and that Eddie wasn't injured in that fall! He's still a puppy so hopefully he'll mellow out. Iwan and Carissa are truly good people folks. Being that we watch you and OK PT, was surprised to learn this was Iwan's THIRD rescue of a dog from a well. IMO he's a very humble hero. Thank you Iwan! #unsubscribetheindieprojects

Subscribed due to your Eddie rescue you legends ! Look forward to following your journey !

I find it intersting that you guys make an appearance on almost all of the few portugal youtube chanels that I follow. Mostly, it has to do something with climbing 😉 Well done rescuing that dog!

Saw the amazing rescue you were both brilliant… Well done.

I know Iwan likes to do rock climbing, but only people with heart will go over at night to rescue a friend's dog (this includes you Carissa). Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You two are good people. BTW loved the clip of Iwan and the wagging dog tails (So cute) 😁

Wonderful job helping OKPortugal. You two are so inspirational in helping others.

Gj guys saving kens dog 😊😊🎉🎉

Great job on the rescue of a naughty dog that fell in a well.

Chicken of the woods mushroom on that tree 🤩😳

I love how your pets check out everything you do and have and take a full on interest as to what it is you do!! So cute!! LOL!!

OMG, Iwan. Just saw your incredible rescue mission. Who'd a thought your climbing gear would come in handy so often.

Fab video once again, beautiful scenery and gentle music, your channel is a joy to watch!
As for Eddy’s rescue, Iwan and Clarissa you are proper 🌟 🌟🌟
Take super care, Laura 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

Lovely video, I’m keeping an eye on the olives too, I’ve never preserved them, so interesting to hear your thoughts on them re the different methods. One bit of advice on tree planting, some trees are tough and will just survive anyway, but I always try to give them the best start. You dug a hole and filled it with water, good move as you have soaked the surrounding soil, however you only put compost in the hole when backfilling, what happens when you do this is that the tree roots are so happy in the compost hole, then don’t bother to venture beyond so you get a massive rootball that is not well anchored to the surrounding soil (bad news in high winds). So, always mix your compost with soil to get the root system in touch with the biology of your soil. Trees always drop down a bit, so plant them a tad high in the hole and I always add grit, stones, sand in the bottom of the hole to add drainage, it sounds weird in a dry climate, but when it does rain, your tree will be sitting in a soil bucket and might start to rot if it’s prolonged rain. Also if the water can drain away better, it can be held in the ground better for the tree roots to go find it, better anchoring your tree. Always water round the drip line of the canopy to encourage root spread and mulch, mulch mulch! Linden trees are wonderful, a great addition, great sketching the leaves and flowers, great shapes, and the tea makes you sleep like a well stacked log. All the best 🌱🌱🌱

I just subscribe your channel for what you did for Ken and Gina rescuing their dog. The world needs much more people like you.

brilliant video!! loved it! new sub and bell ❤
