Update video on what we will be doing on our channel in the upcoming month. Thanks to all our new subscribers, appreciate you joining our journey. @buildingthephilippines #journey #retirement #filipino
35 pesos per month. Our water source is not affected by lack of rain. It comes from 2 water sources spring fed from the mountain behind us. The locals say those 2 water sources never change, plenty of water. The issue is the lack of infrastructure getting the water down the mountain and out to everyone's home.
@danielsimms3361 my understanding is that you need to go extremely deep to find water in this area. Even then, it's a 50% success rate around here. Not many well drillers either, lack of proper equipment.
Better to water during evening when it’s cooler the plants will have longer moisture rather than watering during extreme heat. Great idea for lots of fruit trees it will give shade over the lawn. 😊
hi guys a tip for you regarding your plants, i live on an island where we get extreme temperatures and zero rainfall for over 6 months of the year, all gardens here are watered after dark in those months, as watering during the day is pointless as the vast majority of the water evaporates feeding the plants very little, doing it after dark give the plant time to absorb water through leaves and what hits the ground time to feed the roots
lol...extremely dry! Thank you for the update, good to see whats going on with the Wilma and Greg Show..lol Keep up the good work on the channel, cant wait to see your interviews, Happy Easter, Wilma and Greg...Jim
With citrus, use the hose on low drip for extended time to get below the root ball a deep soak. My citrus are over 30 years old. Sprinkling with the hose by hand won't work that's why they are curling
We recently had a brush fire on our lot and our bunkhouse almost caught on fire! Fortunately our neighbor called the fire department and they sent out a truck to help. It's VERY dry in Dauin right now. We need rain 😢
Yes, we have seen 3 brush fires up in our area over the past week. All three were locals burning brush. Definitely not the right thing to do during the dry season. All three got away from them.
Well I like construction videos because I’m just starting a build on the north end of Bohol. Also I really respect Gregg & Wilma’s advice. Been extremely dry for several months in the Talibon region. Thanks Guys!
We ordered a lot of cheap beach garden umbrellas from lazada for our plants and a few normal porch 10ft ones keep the direct sun off the main plants 🪴 been no rain here also in cebu hot hot hot
Hello Doug and Wilma. Over here in Cavite. our well is almost dried up. We have many citrus, shrubs and flowers that are struggling. One thing im doing. Getting last years rice straw and putting it around plants as a mulch to help the soil from drying out. Seems to be helping. Your home looks amazing.
@@buildingthephilippines This line of videos can be the beginning of something good especially for Expats who wants to create a lasting legacy where they are at. SME's are huge in the Philippines. Service paid for service rendered! Reputation and differentiation makes a difference! Thank you for what you do and your willingness to have a lasting legacy in the Philippines!
Surprising how a few kilometers can make such a difference. Lilia is about 1/2 km south of Robinson Place, by the Phoenix station, and she's been getting lots of rainy weather lately. I'm planning on visiting her in May/June and we would like to see you both while I'm there.
I see you have a blue water tank. I want to get a water filtration system along with the water tank to have a good backup supply of clean water from the city's deep well which is on allocation in the mornings and evenings. Right now the water is staining the bathroom and sinks. It's not good for drinking but just want to clean it up. Any recommendations or a vlog on the topic will be appreciated. Thanks.
We do not have a water filtration system. Best to attempt to locate a local plumbing supplier in your area to see what they have to offer. Good luck to you.
Do you let Prince swim in the pool? Also, and maybe I misunderstood but given the drought and the need to water can’t you recover the 4000 gallons when backwashing the pool rather than dumping out of the property?
No, he does not go in the pool. How would one recover so much water. Would need a large sistern, I guess. Our water source is not the issue. The lakes remains full even during the dry season. The issue is infrastructure getting it to everyone.
A little food for thought ! when America was not allowed to have military base's in the Philippines , the Philippines would get typhoons two to three times a year , now that usa is allowed to be back in the Philippines they have not had any typhoons , Haarp ! id say !
So true! I remember back year 1980's and 1990's during my childhood life was always have a strong typhoon 2 to 3 times a year and it was a rough tough life for me because we are totally drought dried out no water on summertime season month of March, April, May until middle of June! It's been like that back then, no surprise but being patience without rain to survive!
