- Cleaning our ancient well.
We have a small well at the bottom of the land which could contain enough water to save our trees.
Our property in Portugal has an off-grid water supply.
In this episode, we clean the well. We to find a way to store the water and empty years and years of debris.
It's even more exciting than you might imagine.

Now that is work!
Thinking back to that time makes we feel exhausted. 😂
Great Scott! Such a good looking ellegant girl. 👍
👍
I was thinking to myself “they need some kind of sieve 🤔” and then you brought out the basket! Great video. I’ve just discovered you guys and am enjoying watching the catalogue from start to finish. Can’t wait to get up to date!
Welcome along. Thank you for joining us on our journey.
That was hard work 💪 👍 I discovered your channel today with 12900 subscribers. I subscribed to it and went to the next video and now you have 13000 subscribers. That went fast 😉
Congratulations and thank you for being the 13,000th subscriber 😉😂
You are both such an inspiration., thank you for sharing you journey.
Thank you for joining us. 🤩
OMG happy you are safe
Thank you 😊
Not long discovered you two but I could watch you all day.
Thank you. That's amazing.
Me too 😂
Thank you 😊
I actually had a tear in my eye for Kermit!! I was hoping Carlos and the goats would make it in before long.
Me too. He is okay. Still got water, but we'll be making sure he stays safe and well. Carlos and his goats may make further appearances. 😊
I just love how you go about doing all the work and bringing your quinta back to life. That well clearing must be so satisfying. 👍🏼
Thank you, Owen. It is quite satisfying though a bit of a tough job. 👍
You could use your mimosa to make huegelkultur beds and then fill them up with all of that lovely muck??? I wonder how massive the nutrients are in that muck?
We could do that. In other videos you can see how we’ve used mimosa. Woodchip is more useful for us as we build the gardens. The pond muck went around our trees. 👍
What a refreshing change you two are! Love the video and I look forward to more. Keep on enjoying what you do.
Thank you so much, Simon. Thanks for watching. We’ll keep on enjoying what we do. 😃
greatful job
i guess you must clean the whole pond also around the walls from all the green and plant stuff
Yes. We have to do lots more work.😁
Enjoying watching along as you bring this piece of land back to life. Can you do a segment where you describe what brought you to Portugal and why you’ve chosen this project?
We will indeed do a little segment about what brought us to Portugal n the near future. Thank you for your question. We love questions.
Looks like it’s 150 years old organic mud and compost good for your garden maybe try to make some raises bed down on the bottom part of your land can you use your wheel barrel to move the mud I would move the mud away from the well side so it doesn’t fall back in to the well from them wild pigs they might wanna roll around in it because of the bad smell👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹👍
We left it so that the pond life could return to the well. You're right, it will make great compost.
Hard work but your coming along . I hope the scaffolding didn't hit her head and was just a little excitement for your viewers .:) I'm glad you saved the water lily though its a pretty little pond . looking forward tp #2
I was fine after the scaffolding incident. A little bit shaken but perfectly fine. We’re getting there with the pond. 😊
You both got a rhythm going soon enough.
We did indeed. 😄
Hello, I live in Canada but that well that you are trying to clean, in my childhood use to give me many nightmares, I used to think that in the dark walking up to the house I would fall in. That Quinta was my Uncle's , and I used to spend part of my summer there. There is another well at the bottom of the hill. One time they cleaned it and saved the eels , and they served them for supper; snakes , no way !!!!! needless to say I refused to eat , and had no supper.
Another family member, Luis, told us about the eels as well. Maybe we’ll find them. 😂
Wow! You guys have made an excellent start on clearing the pond! Is it spring fed? Looking forward to part 2👍🏽
We’re hoping to find out soon. See you for part 2. 🙂
Epic! Well done 💪🏽. Not done, but grand work 👍🏼.
Thanks. Ruth. Lots more to do.😃
5:05 Good chat. :)
Thank you so much. We love having a chat and practicing our Portuguese.
Wow I didn't realize how many UK people have moved here to Portugal.
Portugal was ripe for the invasion.
Only one of us is from the UK. Meraid is from Ireland. There are 36,000 British people registered as living in Portugal.
@@NearbyVeggies neat fact I know that the pan. Had alot to do with more deciding but also it has gotten so expensive where your from. Can't afford to buy land and a home.
I also watch a channel that is in Italy and others in Spain. The great migration.
@@leestimis9264 We certainly couldn't afford to buy anywhere on the south coast of England. We made plans to move about 6 years ago and saved and saved and saved.
@@leestimis9264 , check out , Make Do Grow , they are also in Portugal now from UK
@@minnesotagal507 yes I watch them also have been since they started their channel.
