Great content as always...I have my home in UK up for sale and once sold I'm looking for a small holding in France...where I'll try and steal lots of your tips. ✌️

👍

Comfrey is big and invasive. Even if one root is left behind it will grow back.

It's called a Backflow Preventior

For a spare pump: I've never tried this but wonder if you use a soldering iron to " plastic weld " some extra plastic onto the damaged threads of your well pump, then go back to the metal fitting to cut some threads. You can then use Teflon tape again with the plastic fitting. This should grab better and hopefully seal as well. I enjoy your videos, thanks.

Please can you do a Q&A soon! Would love to know how self sufficient you are and how much it costs to live like this x

All the strimming a guy could want.

That black pipe should be braced, joints become stressed with the weight, on them, also a no return valve on the bottom of the pipe in the well helps a great deal to stop water run back .

The plumbing sounds so frustrating 🫤 but your garden is starting to come together with a bit of structure now. Plus that moon shot at the end was beautiful ❤

when are u going to fix the stone house? lovely videos thnk u

Nice video guys! ❤❤

The squash could be a crown prince pumpkin they are huge 10 kilos so yours would be a baby still. …. I can’t even remember buying they seeds and we’ve had 3 😹

❤❤❤❤❤

Cool gate!! 🙂!!

It will be so much easier when & if you get a ride on mower or a small tractor with a slasher. I am 62 yrs old & it has been soo much easier to maintain my 4acres on my own since I purchased a ride on mower. My "strimmer" or what I call a whipper snipper in Australia is still incredibly useful for where the ride on can't reach. LOVE watching your calm & interesting videos on the creations of your dreams 🙂

tie a brick to the end of the pipe so it pull it under the water loving the pallet ideas the gardens are looking great thanx for sharing

Great video guys. I’m exactly the same right now with finding things I’d lost among the long grass Iwan 😂. You both look great by the way. I’m jealous of the sun ☀️ ❤

Well done replacing your pump. The fix in my opinion is to upgrade the pump to one with a stainless steel impeller housing. either the entire pump or ask your pump supplier if they can order a replacement hosing in stainless steel. The Einhell brand you appear to be using definitely has pumps with steel housings. The steel housing fixes two issues, 1 your stripped threads, as the steel thread will be strong than any brass or PVC fitting you screw onto it. 2 PVC housings are usually made in a mold that is in two parts, meaning there often is wield/ cast lines through the housing. These joins are a common fault in pressure vessels (watch a Burpeg episode where their PVC pump fails for that reason). I hope that helps D

Lovely video as always you two! Excited to see your pallet build home come together with your new deliveries! The leaking on the pump connection may be a tiny break in the plastic connector from a freeze that you can't see internally? The land and gardens are looking healthy. Iwans strimming makes a huge impact! Thank you for sharing!❤❤

Never a slow day on the farm unless it pours rain or is too hot to be outdoors. All of that strumming looks great. Hope your new pump works better.❤

Personally, I would put a window in your new building a window for good air cerkulation .

Squash will tell you when they are ready to pick the leaves will go brown and die back the stalks will dry, always cut the squash leaving a T shaped stalk attached to the fruit, this will make them store better through winter. Mandy from New Zealand

Your Citrus trees will benefit greatly from surface mulching from trunk to drip zone with a fine woody mulch that will encourage fungal development. Mandy from New Zealand

Have a happy

You guys need a lawn tractor.

Maybe this can help with the watering of the trees, I used to put a hole in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and place the hole right next to the tree and I knew it was getting 5 gallons of water instead of pooling around the tree and then running off.

Did anyone else think "That's Cho-Cho San from Madame Butterfly!" at 4:26 and when seeing the thumbnail for this video? Maybe just me

Those two are totally different yet both so adorable you two are totally compatible

Is it possible to weight the end of the pipe that goes into the well?

My favourite part of the week is making a pot of tea and watching you guys You are achieving great things and your property is so beautiful. Definitely going to investigate the Heritage site and find some relatives Have a great week 🪴

Conhecem o canal "Olival Grande", é interessante

Fazer uma caldeira à volta das arvores ajuda as raízes a absorverem melhor a agua, se colocarem cobertura morta (palha) mantem a humidade.

Great video.

Hello. Carissa, you really need to speak louder. I have no trouble at all hearing Iwan. But I cannot hear anything you say. And I want to hear what you are saying. I can turn on closed caption, but then I'm trying to read and I miss seeing what you are doing.

Sprinklers tend to evaporate a lot more water then a dripping system

❤😁

Perhaps you could fix one part of tube to the well wall on the inside and then use a connector on a bit of it that sticks out of the well. This way the tube will get less movement and less friction

Words to live by, Carissa, “Plumbing is never fun!!” You are both so calm dealing with it- it’s amazing. Cheers! ❤️💐🇨🇦

Enjoy your channel very much. The hose that is chaffing on the rocks needs a piece of hose to cover the section that's getting damaged. We would do that on the boat so as to not have to replace the hose itself, and when the chaffing piece wears out disregard and replace 😊

If you wrap pipe protectors around the hose, it will keep it from rubbing. I reckon pool noodles could do the trick. Cheaper too ☺️

Here is a tip. Buy a cheap bee keepers suit. It will help you manage any wasp problems. We keep bees and have found our bee suits to have more than one use. Wasp nest destroying duties for our farm and friends and a 100% mosquito free forest mushroom foraging trips.

Teflon tape should be turned clockwise 5 times to the right if right-hand treads or to the left if left-hand treads. Also if you tie a small rock to the well hose with string it will hold the hose below the surface of the water and with the weight of the rock you could throw it to the deepest part of the well.

I know you like the wild flowers, but your area looks nice trimmed up.

It seems this water setup is a lot of headaches. A simpler version would be: submersible pump-pipe-expansion tank (outside, or on a wall, sheltered)-pressure switch(could be even digital)-and the rest of the setup with filters an so on. So won't need to prime every time is a issue, no noise, pump will work great in cool water, less used space. Seek an advice from a certified plumber in you area, and see what he thinks. Good luck!

Hi, It is not good for the plants to water them in the sun shine, the best when there is no sun, the plant will get damaged.

Carrisa and Iwan lot's of regards from 🇬🇷 🇬🇷. Another most enjoyable video see you guys next week. ❤❤❤❤

Always turn until tight, and then turn 1/4 turn Xtra, and stop, should be sufficient.

You have stripped the threads, that's why it never tightens, try using pipe dope as it's called here in the U.S.

I watched on another Portugal video, they were having a similar problem, the plumbing supply sold them horse hair and pipe dope.

I really hope you will get some rains soon.
