My Goodness you are a very busy hard worker inside and outside the Chateau. You are making wonderful progress and it shows. Great to see your video today. ❤

Thanks for sharing, I had the same problem with years of self seeding trees, was worried with a chain saw so I have a stihl pruner which is like a mini chainsaw but much much safer and gets through very thick branches, the grounds are looking good 🎉

For ivy removal, just cut the vines from the base to separate the vines from the roots. This will kill the vines and stop them from growing on the walls and other structures. You have to make sure you get all the strands. It will take a few months to die and then can be removed more easily. To kill the roots, try rolling them like a carpet and cutting the roots from the soil as you go. Then go back and rake up the smaller strands. You will have to check it every year until it completely disappears. I do ivy removal in a park so have worked with ivy in many situations. It's hard work but you are off to a good start.

You are a very hard worker and the results are amazing. The veggies are a nice bonus.

Beautiful anitque beige and charcoal colored tiles! Looks like you have some rust stains though, Try using some sort of rust remover on a small stain, see if that works? Given that the tiles are old, probably doesn't matter that a few are stained, still quite lovely! Good luck!

I think you are doing a great job. Keep with the channel. I'm deciding myself whether or not to start a channel. Good luck.

I love the black & white tiles (even tho they are not real white) they look antique looking. Hope you don't change them! You will probably will have some area rugs over part of it.♥️♥️♥️♥️😘

You can freeze tomatoes, adding them to soups and stews.

My first visit to your channel. I had a major ivy problem as well in a much much larger area. So I want to share what happened. First yr the area was cleared, 2nd year some came back...cleared again, 3rd yr. just a handfull but they were attached to roots the size of tree branches about foot under the ground. As for the ones growing up the wall, they also took a few yrs to stop because there so many more shoots than appear at first sight. I have read about the copper nails and the vinegar salt, but yet to try it. Here in the USA, New England, they charge $90 per tree trunk to grind one down. Good luck w all your projects!

The floor looks so pretty research what are the stones before making a bad move on it

I have an old Terrazo floor (black and white). I used soft soap and a pad fixed on my drilling machine. It turned out really nice. Best wishes

I used a power saw.

Please mind your discs-in your back you are keeping fit but putting great stress on your back I was a nurse for thirty two years and now as a result of pulling and lifting all those years my discs are worn out and I can’t hardly walk at seventy four I wish I could run just like I used to but I am now using crutches I cannot walk without them sorry if I sound negative I just wish. Someone told me all those years ago

The only way i got rid of my ivy was i had to dig to pull out by root and the root was as thick as a tree limb but once i pulled the whole root out it has never came back

Put a black bucket over the trump/root area in the meantime. Lack of sun will also kill any sprouts coming up from the roots !😊

The tiles are naturally that beige colour

U need to put wire or go in the basement and cover up the windows or rats and animals will be living down there 😊

The copper nails will poison the roots to the tree over time it did to mine

Buy a Battery powder chainsaw they so much easier and safer .

Wat ur pulling is not the ivy root that just the ivy vine. It will come back

You could improve your video by showing your face when you speak about your projects. And like in this video you showed us the floor,but not the actual room. You keep mentioning apartments,so to us that means you don’t intend to live there yourself. I was concerned you left that Ivy on the railing . I think once it reaches the soil,it will creep into the ground causing you more work down the road. The Ivy is different than here in Canada. It doesn’t die in France because the weather there is not cold enough. Watching a lot of blogs in France, chateau owners are pulling it off their buildings. It may be pretty, but it can be a headache. You’re doing a great job and it is good exercise.😊

I don’t understand why you made such hard work of the garden task buy a electric saw and just burn the waste we do it all the time As for patreon I think it’s been so over done ! It was ok in COVID times people like Stephanie who is raking in a fortune for not a lot If you can’t afford the place you shouldn’t have bought it ! And tons of people think that way in a financial crisis the world in It’s you choice to do KZfaq and hope you get monetisation But saying that best of luck.

You can use chemicals to kill ivy but you have to spray it down with white vinegar first and then wait a few days. The vinegar removes the waxy coating on the leaves. Taking out stumps is absolutely the worst outdoor job! You have my sympathy.

small yellow tomatoes are really good and for me better than red. May be the tiles were so raeal white but cream?
