The leaves of your orange trees are yellow which indicates Chlorosis, an iron deficiency disease caused by highly alkaline soil. It is worth checking the pH of your soil. Chlorosis shows up as pale green or yellow leaves in new growth and lack of vigour. The problem may be alkaline soil, not the riverside location, although moving the trees to a sunny spot will benefit them (by the way, the best time to move trees is in the winter). This problem can be fixed by applying acidic citrus fertilizer once a year or as needed. I use Nitrosphere Plus, from Vital Garden. it is ecologic. I live in Spain and buy it at Leroy Merlin. A 750 gm box, enough to treat several trees, costs about 7 euros in Spain.
Congrats on getting a septic system! That looks like a ton of hard work done by all of you. I would use the rocks to "pave" the driveway so future delivery trucks won't get stuck in the mud all the time.
Maya; You really amaze me with your ability to start a huge project like this with your lack construction knowledge and the amount of physical work it takes to put into a project like this really is an impressive achievement. I've seen the help you have had off and on, but your ability to learn fast from them and work so hard leaves me awestruck. Keep on inspiring people to dream big. Love your videos.
Maya ... now that youre electric line and water line found put some gravel in and around and then some bright orange mesh. That way in future and digging the lines will be noted where they are, measure from house exact position. Thanks to the lovely family helping out , safe travels 😊
I think you should try and "terrace" your terrain with the extra soil and rocks, you have a lot of slopes in there, would be nice your your ankles to have flat terrains here and there ;)
Hi Maya! The color of the soil is nice and it is good to see your physical strength and endurance. I hope the community will develop slowly, and volunteer helpers will join.
Ey Maya! prunes the trees after transplanting them. When they are unplanted, they lose roots so there are leftover leaves. It is a good time for a first training pruning. Greetings from Argentina latam
Finally a new video! It's crazy how much work she does, when you actually start doing this kind of work yourself you will quickly find that it is exhausting.
Hello Maya. I was completely surprised to hear that one little boy blowing out the candles speaking in Afrikaans (my language). You are doing a fantastic job for a woman. What a wonderfull experience that project must be. I love how you enjoy the work you're doing. Stay safe and blessings from here in South Africa.
Hi, Maya. I watched you move your citrus trees today. May I encourage you to prune them heavily in order to allow them to put their energy into their new root system. If you want them to be trees, prune off all lower branches. If you want bushes, cut thme in half - take off the top half. They'll thank you for it in the long run. 4:50
Great job chica. You have learned so much and come such a long way. Winter is far off you will be ready...Hugs from Upstate New York USA. Gina moving to Portugal/Italy in November...
Wow! What a ton -- multiple tons! -- of work you got done. I really like the mix of modern tools -- excavators and hand-held jackhammers -- with the millennia-old mattock and other hand tools. Those young boys got quite an education watching all you did!
You can built retaining walls with the rocks, firepit and many other things. You just have to put them aside. Quite hard work but it is useful material
Awesome to see your progress superwoman, you're such an inspiration! My 5 yo and 2 yo (both girls) love watching you, and eldest is (i hope) getting inspired by your self-reliance and strength
Hi Maya. I'm not surprised you didn't do a video last week you must be absolutely exhausted. Well done for keeping going. Once again it will be worth the efforts when it's completed. You had lovely helpers too.
Maya do you know any neighbors that have ducks? If so see if they will let you borrow their ducks for a day to graze in your yard/garden. They love eating slugs.
It's so nice to see the beautiful and functional development of your land Maya. Thank you for sharing your adventure! Wishing you lots of energy for the work ahead. 💪💗
Fällt die Abwasserleitung mit einem Gefälle von deutlich über drei Prozent ab, dann fließt das Wasser mit zu hoher Geschwindigkeit und ist nicht mehr in der Lage, schwere Feststoffe mitzuführen. Diese setzen sich am Boden des Rohres ab, was im Lauf der Zeit zu einer Verstopfung führt.
You are such a hard-working young woman, Maya. I always see you pushing heavy wheel barrows up and down your land. Have you ever tried pulling said wheel barrows ? It sometimes is easier on your back.
Hello Maya. Watching the storm brought up the question, "Do you have a lightning rod for the house?" The rock you were breaking looked like shale. Perhaps the rock you were moving at the end could be used to make walking paths. Have good days!
Welcome back you were so missed. I agree with others I know its a lot of work but put the rocks aside use them for your drive down and garden beds they will look amazing love your videos
Coming along nicely. I suggest you crush all those rocks up and use them to build a driveway / parking area that your delivery drivers can use to get in an out even in bad weather. Access to a property when your renovating is a massive advantage and if it was a commercial renovation, the builders would start with access to the property almost immediately.
Suggestion for the lemon tree... don't plant in poorly draining soil. Lemon trees like well draining soil and clay mixed with soil doesn't drain well. Lemons like a lot of sun but they don't like too much water. Water infrequent but heavy. The leaves also look large so it's on the lower end of how much sun it should get. The larger the leaves the less sun it's getting. Also lemon trees don't like any temps below 20F (-6.6C) so if you see the temps going below that then you might want to put a temporary greenhouse around it during that time.
If you struggle with slugs you can put wool felt around the plants -- the texture is unpleasant for the slugs! If it's cabbage flies, though, I don't know :-P
Egg shells also keep snails & slugs away. The edges are to sharp for them. Just rinse them slightly & collect them until you have enough for a flower or vegetable bed. Lightly crush them in your hand & apply.
Hello Maya , from Melbourne Australia. Love your channel and how you don't give up and always learn. If I may offer you some advice, prune your citrus trees after transplanting, it takes alot of stress out of the plant .. wishing you luck..
Question what part of Portugal do you live in? It is so beautiful. I’m 68 yr old and love your hard working style. When I was younger snd healthier I could work hard also. I truly admire you. Valerie
My dear, your brilliant at building, like you when I was young and was building our own home I used to go to the building merchants, luckily they always knew what we were doing or the projects demant (my hubbues daily visits and updates) So when I would go in asking I need so of those thinermmy bobs and what nots they knew and they put then in front of me. But now over 30 years later I know most things and the pipe corners are just called bends. I just enjoyed telling it. 😘
Keeps looking better. Use the rocks to form a wall for your veg patch, to help keep the grass at bay! As somone rlse has said use the stone for your drive way as well....
Hi Maya! Citrus trees like a good feed of nitrogen, so some chicken manure should help with the yellowing leaves. You can also water in some trace elements to help with anything they might be deficient in. I have my lemon growing in a large pot as my soil is very clay and it’s thriving ❤
Citrus trees need sun in winter try to put them near a wall rock so they can get some heat in the night and good drainage you may need to add some quelatos de ferro in the water to thems and add some root water you can do that with the brambles the parts that are near of the ground cut thems and after two weeks on water use it
I would to give you some advice for pruning the lemon tree, the lower small branch must be pruned because it takes the energy from the main one. I would plant it in a big vase just like in Italy, so you could bring it inside during the winter.
Hey Maya, not sure if it is called a Jack hammer there, but Ive always seen that tool called a hammer drill. Or a hammer chisel if it has a chisel head. I may just be uninformed, but in literally 20 years of being a welder fabricator for the road industry here in America, it has always been a hammer drill with the Jack hammer being a specialized vibrational chisel ususally with a cross T shaped handle.
We also call the large thumping thing a jack hammer in South Africa 🇿🇦. If you use that for a morning you can't lift your arms for few days thereafter!! 😅😂😅
The rocks would be great for raised garden beds? Save your back and have better drainage and water preservation. Well done tho with the septic you are moving ahead now ❤
Maya, citrus trees like warmth yes and sandy loamy soils, not clay. Orange trees take a long time to get established even in the right kinds of soil. Learned that the hard way.
Maya, So good to see your new and improved septic system. They are always a mess until after they're finished. I used the gravel from mine to make a walkway - it works great. Just be sure to put the gravel on top of landscaping material. It's inspiring to see that you're realizing your dream. Keep at it and best of luck to you.
Maya! If you're going to use short canes, get eye protectors for the end of the sticks. I used to work in a garden centre, and came close to injuring my eye!!!!😮😢
To spray for worms/cabbage, lopers we use Spinosad at our Community garden. It’s organic friendly and day of harvest treatment. It works fantastic! Just mix according to the instructions in a pump sprayer and apply to the foliage of all plants that are susceptible to worms.
I set the tanks as low as I could, then filled them up with sand and soil so they were covered. It is also possible to build a small house to cover them.
Congrats, septic systems are the Biggest improvements. And messy. Glad to see you found a modern system with an Ecological purification , as close to the River that you are. 👍👍💙Enjoy the journey🤙🤙Romans 10 :9-10 Be blessed Maya.
I see you push your wheelbarrow where it would be better to pull it, like when you are going uphill. Pulling the wheelbarrow behind you (still using the handles) is much easier as you are not pushing the wheel into the ground (because you are tall).
SOmetimes you are lucky living somewhere "up". As in place where I live, groundwateer is around 80cm-1m deep already and I needed special drainage systems to be able to dig in my septic system :D
“Now this is a problem, it’s very hard bedrock” … and in she goes with the jackhammer. Nothing’s a problem for Maya
That's a hammer drill....... but yeah they are using it as a jack hammer......
Make a path down to the creek with the rocks. And define some garden beds with them. Just an idea.
The leaves of your orange trees are yellow which indicates Chlorosis, an iron deficiency disease caused by highly alkaline soil. It is worth checking the pH of your soil. Chlorosis shows up as pale green or yellow leaves in new growth and lack of vigour.

The rocks could be used to make a car path so, when it rains any car can easily go in or out. Also would look great.
Please make Cobblestone paths through your property with all those beautiful rocks. It would look awesome.

Thank you Gary! 🤗
This is the first channel which I just subscribed. More power to you.
Nice pun! 😄
Having a functional septic system will really improve your quality of life.
It's a massive job!
Rocks for "driveway" path entry. Rain will always create a muck problem...
Maya ... now that youre electric line and water line found put some gravel in and around and then some bright orange mesh. That way in future and digging the lines will be noted where they are, measure from house exact position. Thanks to the lovely family helping out , safe travels 😊
Maya the rocks may come in handy for your drive entrance and road. Lots to do but another step forward in the build. ❤❤😊😊
I was thinking the exact same thing, doing this she might solve her muddy driveway problem.
Exactly, lay the smaller rocks down at the entrance as gravel. You would need to tumble the edges off so you don't pop a tire.
a potentially huge saving in material cost to build yourself a driveway to support permanent access during inclement weather
Maya, you are sn inspiration to us all. I am happy you have your septic system. Your guests are lovely. Those little boys are adorable ❤
Thanks on behalf of the boys 😊
I think you should try and "terrace" your terrain with the extra soil and rocks, you have a lot of slopes in there, would be nice your your ankles to have flat terrains here and there ;)
Maya pushing the dump truck up the hill kind of sums her up.
😅😅😅 you're right!
keep dancing in between the hard labour …wonderful woman 💃🏼
Maya's eyes express joy and beauty
Maya’s here everyone!

Oh I admire her. She doesn't wait for a big, strong man to do everything for her. Love that.

What a wonderfull experience that project must be. I love how you enjoy the work you're doing. Stay safe and blessings from here in South Africa.
Love the new tech with the septic tanks. Quite a process but you are doing so well 😊❤
Welcome back Maya!
Wow, such a big project and as usual you get stuck in and work hard!
Great work, i may have to come and pay another visit soon 😊
I'm sure you'd be welcome but bring your overalls with. 😅😅

Great job chica. You have learned so much and come such a long way. Winter is far off you will be ready...Hugs from Upstate New York USA. Gina moving to Portugal/Italy in November...
Maya, put coffee dregs and crushed eggshells on your veggie patch to deter slugs🙂
Yes! We do this in Australia as well!
Oatmeal flakes around the plants helps too. They wil eat the oat instead of the plants.
Wow! What a ton -- multiple tons! -- of work you got done. I really like the mix of modern tools -- excavators and hand-held jackhammers -- with the millennia-old mattock and other hand tools. Those young boys got quite an education watching all you did!
You can built retaining walls with the rocks, firepit and many other things. You just have to put them aside. Quite hard work but it is useful material
Yes! I was also thinking perhaps high walls for a proper garden, to keep out deer, wild hogs, rabbits, gophers and other critters!
Also repairs to the terraces!
Yes, don't bury those rocks. Use the excavator to make more terraces and build retaining walls with the rocks.
Awesome to see your progress superwoman, you're such an inspiration! My 5 yo and 2 yo (both girls) love watching you, and eldest is (i hope) getting inspired by your self-reliance and strength

Maya você é uma mulher incrível fora de comum, você merece bem que Deus ajude a obter os seus objetivos o meu respeito
Opportunities to change the landscape and terraces. Maybe use the stones to repair or buikd retaining walls.
You have done an amazing job of your bedroom. The shelves look great. Down by your river area is just so beautiful. Take care.
It's so nice to see the beautiful and functional development of your land Maya. Thank you for sharing your adventure! Wishing you lots of energy for the work ahead. 💪💗
Thank you very much 🥰
Those rocks would make an excellent shed, wall, pathway or if crushed could be used many additional ways.
With all those rocks you can make a fire pit 🔥 an outdoor kitchen and just so so many things. I wish I was there.😊
That location is incredible. The entire site will be an extremely unique, comfortable and beautiful homesite. Very impressive.
Perhaps it is an idea to make planting boxes from the stones you have left over to grow your vegetables.
Really happy to see all the subscribers and viewership on this channel
I heard that some garden insects don’t like coffee grounds. Perhaps you can try that out around your cabbage.

Good tip! 😊
To help the transplanted trees to establish new roots, you can add some phosphorous to the soil.
I love your property… It’s a joy to see your progress!

Unfortunately summer is not a good season to transplant ..good luck
Welcome back you were so missed. I agree with others I know its a lot of work but put the rocks aside use them for your drive down and garden beds they will look amazing love your videos
bad idea in garden beds, make lots of hiding places for snails
What a amazing hardworking lady you are🥹!

The temperature probably doesn't fall below 6.6C in that location. The site is steeply sloped so the soil will be well-drained.
@@davidwillettts931 Video from 5 months ago shows frost, you can't get frost without the temps getting below 0C.

Hi, I watch your videos from the Southern Urals. Russia
Relocating the rocks is nice. Maybe on the ground, to start a rock wall.
You need to design small paths, a garden area, and a fruit tree zone within your farm, so you can move around better with the wheelbarrow. 😅
Use the rocks to create “sidewalks”
I would to give you some advice for pruning the lemon tree, the lower small branch must be pruned because it takes the energy from the main one. I would plant it in a big vase just like in Italy, so you could bring it inside during the winter.

Wow a big adventure for you,use the rock's to make borders around your garden x

Build a chalet from those rocks. You can rent it out. 😅😅

I set the tanks as low as I could, then filled them up with sand and soil so they were covered. It is also possible to build a small house to cover them.
I like the idea of building an enclosure. There are lots of sharp rocks which could puncture the tanks over time.
It's always so lovely to see one of your videos, Maya. You are such a hard worker, and doing so much work on this site. You are so awesome! ❤️
Congrats, septic systems are the Biggest improvements. And messy. Glad to see you found a modern system with an Ecological purification , as close to the River that you are. 👍👍💙Enjoy the journey🤙🤙Romans 10 :9-10 Be blessed Maya.
To deter slugs
Place wood stove ash surrounding the vegetables they are ruining. The potash makes them suffocate. A good 4-5” three inches high
you need to concrete your entrance way and make a small road for easier access
Go for it Maya, I wish I had a fraction of your energy - bless you
Use the rocks to bed into your driveway to add texture and grip
Maya ,what a strong person you are. So inspiring,!!❤
I see you push your wheelbarrow where it would be better to pull it, like when you are going uphill. Pulling the wheelbarrow behind you (still using the handles) is much easier as you are not pushing the wheel into the ground (because you are tall).
When life give you lemons make lemonade. Need any more terraces with drystone walls? Some of that rock looks very nice.
SOmetimes you are lucky living somewhere "up". As in place where I live, groundwateer is around 80cm-1m deep already and I needed special drainage systems to be able to dig in my septic system :D
A little advice Maya, is better tu plant the fruit trees in the late winter, when they are "sleep" is less stressfull for them.
