Hi Andy, regarding the Orange tree watering, if you use a 5 litre water bottle and cut a tennis ball size hole the bottom , use a hot nail or thin drill to make 3 or 4 holes in screw top, then place the bottle screw top down at base of tree, secure bottle to tree trunk or stake with cord or wire if stake, then fill each morning with water and it will recover, can’t promise fruit though, it’s sort of a drip irrigation for one tree, though you can use anywhere you want to grow

For the orange tree, try sinking a hollow pipe about 2-3 feet down and water the roots through the pipe. It worked for me on a lemon tree, here is hot dry Northern California. Good luck.

@LCamp-cr7fs 27 дней назад

That does work. I am also wondering whether the PH is off with all that lime mortar around.

I'm sure you've already done lots of research into creating your ideal henhouse, but ... That fox you have mentioned will be watching them very carefully, and coming by every day and night to see whether they are ready for eating. Your fence needs to be buried underground, so no fox can dig under them, and you need to be very aware that if a fox can get up on the wall, he can also jump into your chicken pen. That bathtub, which has plants in it, may be the perfect step up for the fox. Foxes can be very crafty and quite desperate and will always find a way. Make sure those hens have a chance at surviving Mr & Mrs Fox.

The Aloe looks great where you placed it, and the wall near the chicken coop looks great. 👍🏻

Sharon how is your wrist? Every time i see you working you are improving your little piece of paradise. ❤

@sharonwhyler9942 27 дней назад

Thank you. It's much better but I still can't lift anything heavy with that hand. Sometimes I forget and the pain reminds me. Slowly, slowly

@mk-xq1tt 27 дней назад

Amazing that such an arid looking place can produce so much fruit!. Lovely.

@user-dr5lg6rd4z 27 дней назад

The veggies are going😊. Great seeing the cats and tilly doing fine. Yep it's time fir a cold 🥶 one.

@user-jh8jr5id2c 27 дней назад

Watering the orange tree: cut bottom off 2 lt water bottle, take cap off and bury bottle neck first about 4 inches deep into soil. Fill bottle with water every evening and it will seep into the soil.👌👌

@josedacosta9847 27 дней назад

You need to put an irrigation drop for everything the Israel grow food in the desert. Don’t be afraid to copy them.

@damonswanson3156 27 дней назад

@carolleenkelmann3829 27 дней назад

Are the snakes venomous? Snakes like chicken eggs as well. Better make sure that the netting for the chickens is like shade cloth. Your garden looks great.

@andyjota8906 27 дней назад

Normally Andy a tree that isnt giving fruit they say is they are too happy try hacking it back ie. a vigorous pruning and see if you can "give it the right royal humpf" lol and maybe you will get lucky happy days guys great to see you enjoying your garden.🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺

@jokevasconcellos6930 27 дней назад

Maybe the birds are also looking for water.😮 Looking good, if rather dry.

@carolleenkelmann3829 27 дней назад

The orange tree needs composting. Treat your trees the way that farm in Phoenix, Arizona does.- being on the edge of nowhere/desert, they know what they are talking about. - The Watering method has to do with the root system spreading and the way you retain water has a lot to do with compost and the depth of wood chips being used as mulch.

@LCamp-cr7fs 27 дней назад

I also watch the edge of nowhere farm vlogs. Their system of double rings around the trees makes sense. Of course the mulch to stall evaporation.

@eileenstec7862 26 дней назад

Do you have fire risks like they do in Portugal?

@FincaLife 26 дней назад

Yes, of course - the whole place is a massive tinder box - we get a lot less rain than Portugal so the risk here is much higher.

@bak5h 27 дней назад

Hi a few months ago I asked you if you would mind letting me know who helped you with your new solar setup, you kindly did let me know but I have lost the email

I don't think black anbd chickens in a hot climate are compatible. To my knowlege they don't to well in extreme heat. Perhaps you should change the black to a light color--even white.
