The gravity-powered irrigation channels are brilliant! Water management is so tricky and crucial. I love your discovery of the brick oven and the hood -- I hope you can put them to good use!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you, The irrigation worked very well throughout the heat of the summer, no energy used other than digging the water channels. We have plans for the oven and hood area although we are open for other suggestions. Thanks again for watching our channel and your kind comments.

I think you should get a small jersey milk cow, a milk goat and a pony to manage your grass problem. Each eats different things in different ways. You could divide two acres to allow one acre to rest while the other is grazed. You should save some logs for growing mushrooms.

[@TeaAndTinto]

It's a good idea! Perhaps in the coming years.😃 Thank you.

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful house and property. You've done so much work it's very hard work taking on both house and that much land but you're doing it and what's most impressive is you are doing most of the work yourselves and by hand. One thought on up keep of your land, I don't know if you can do this but here in the U.S. IT'S becoming popular to Rent Goats to clear weeds and overgrown brush and bushes, a temporary fence is up to keep them in the area you want cleared and then your just move the temp fence to the next area till it's done plus you get some fertilizer out of it. They pretty much can and Will eat anything. This might also lighten your burden of keeping the place to be in check with more ease and free up more time for other projects or just to relax.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you very much Steven for your lovely comments. Renting goats sounds like an excellent compromise. We have had someone come along with sheep for a day but it was a bit too far for them to come regularly as they walked here, but we'll keep looking for more similar options! Thank you again 😀

[@janesmith9024]

It is lovely - well done. It looks quite a grand house for that area so I am not surprised it has three wells etc . It is good to see it brought back to its former glory. As a woman who does a lot of garden work etc it is very nice to see another woman doing it rather than just leaving it to the men. On upper branches I have a small =hand chain saw which comes with a rope/string. I can put that with a weight on a doca pole (from Amazon) which basically moves the saw to quite high branches on trees - the hardest bit is getting the hammer over the upper branch but once the saw is in place I can just pull the rope on each side and it gets very high branches down - never stand under neath of course.
