I love how the chicken aren't bothered by the rototiller or lawnmower, and it's like they instinctively know that you're stirring up bugs for them. So they are your little helpers. I'm impressed that the palm of your hands aren't covered in blisters. When it comes to rototilling, it's hard on your hands. My hands are like leather and I still get blisters.

Get old free carpet and lay it between the vege beds - it stops weeds for free. Electric fence around the property - start at 50mm of the ground - so ferrets and stoats get a good zap. Then a few more every 50 to 100mm - then you can have bigger gaps. This will discourage almost everything (and stop the dogs getting out too). Use the same philosophy as you did getting the rotary hoe/tractor - more is better (more powerful unit can be turned down).

What a great piece of equipment. I had a front tine tiller for years...No fun breaking fresh sod. Took me five years to figure this one out. I would dig a row, turn around, dig the return row. The machine was always fighting me, leaning toward the soft freshly dug row. Older gentleman in the neighborhood suggested digging a row, skip three quarters of a row on the return trip...Third pass cut the center you skipped. Tines equally on soft soil on both sides of the 3/4 row. Kidneys and shoulders intact! Love the idea of the farm cart. Again thanks for the great content!
@OKportugal 3 жыл бұрын
It's a tough thing to use. I kinda figured out I press down and dig the metal bar on the back I to the ground to make it stay still and till, then lift it up when I want to start moving again. Turning is the worst thoth. I'm sure I'll get more used to it in time
@audreydeweese4827 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Ken, when tilling if you extend the drag bar it will allow the times to dig deeper. The drag bar is what sticks out behind the tiller, under the handle area. Your instructions may use a different term. When we plant yams, potatoes, carrots a deeper till gives better produce. Great job!
@OKportugal 3 жыл бұрын
Brilliant thanks. The instructions were printed on old photocopied paper in Portuguese and Spanish and I had to figure it out as I went. I think I'll get the hand of it soon. Its a lot harder than I expected 😅

To reuse that material, it is better to remove it when not in use! If i dont, when removing place it in the sun with the roots up an then remove the weeds, it prevents the ripping when removing some weeds! Had the same here! Good luck!
@elizabethblane201 3 жыл бұрын
It looks like your fabric was partially buried; it's possible that's why the weeds were growing through it. When you reuse it, lay it on the surface and pin it down with landscape fabric staples (or just make some with wire) and see how that works.

you need a ride on mower, cut a bigger border around the house to deter sneaky predators. I have never lost a single hen to a predator. However, a pigeon made a seriously bad decision in trying to steal the chickens food. I thought the pigeon had exploded looking at all the feathers on the ground. Chickens are very defensive.

💕HOPE THIS HELPS 💕To use a Rotavator properly you SHOULD PULL UP WEEDS FIRST OTHERWISE you CAN/WILL spread them around your plot of land seeds & shoots travel & spread🇬🇧For best results on a vegetable garden you Should rotavate vertically and horizontally across your soil 2-3 times you can also do this after adding manure/sand etc... an easy way to mix it into your soil🇬🇧To help the black weed cloth do it’s job you should lay cardboard underneath it but as soon as you see a weed PULL IT OUT🇬🇧💕Many years ago I trained people this method💕

Great work Ken, how much does the green device cost in comparison to a second hand mini tractor?
@OKportugal 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks.. The tiller was 599 and a mini tractor would have cost around 2500 and another 500 for a rotavator attachment... Also it wouldn't fit in our fenced off veg patch

Hi there...how good is your internet connection and phone signal in this rural property? Do you have a decent broadband or not? If not, how have you solved that problem? I suspect since you're making videos for KZfaq, you would need decent broadband to upload your videos

Portugal has good Internet. In the cities, towns and some villages you can get fibre broadband up to 1gigabit speeds. Unfortunately our farm dosent have fibre so we are using a 4G simcard and mobile broadband. We get 30-40 mbps download speeds and 10-15mbps upload speeds which is fast enough for us to stream 4K content and upload our large KZfaq 40k60 content in a couple of hours. It's pretty cheap too. Costs us about €35 a month 👍

Eyup from Derbyshire. I have started dreaming of living on a farm in Portugal on my 40 minute commute to work each day. Is this the beginning of going down the Portugal Rabbit hole?

Sounds like it. I was dreaming for many years to make the change. Good luck with your move and don't take too long to do it 😁👍

Have you guys considered getting animals that will mow/eat your grasses, build your soils, & grow compost with them? Don’t know about your regulations in your area. So was wondering 🤔

Our neighbour has a sheep dairy farm and last year he was grazing his sheep on our fields. This year we are growing the grass for him to turn into hay ales so his sheep has summer food
