Chainsaw Newbies vs 100-Year-Old Olive Grove – Can We Revive It?

Welcome to the latest chapter in our Spanish farm restoration journey! In this exciting episode, we’re tackling our first major pruning project on our abandoned farm, focusing on century-old olive trees that haven’t been maintained for over 20 years.

With our trusty WORX Cordless Pole Pruner/Saw in hand, we’re diving into the world of chainsaw work – and trust us, it’s as challenging as it sounds! As total newbies, we make plenty of mistakes, but we’re learning as we go. This is not just about cutting branches – it’s about reviving these ancient trees and restoring their beauty and productivity.

What you’ll see in this episode:

• Pruning the century-old olive trees: These trees have witnessed more than a century of history, and now we’re learning how to bring them back to life.
• Learning chainsaw skills from scratch: Watch as we figure out how to safely use the WORX Pole Pruner, and tackle the learning curve involved in working with powerful tools.
• Beautiful Spanish views: As we work, the backdrop of the stunning Spanish mountains reminds us of why we love this rural life.
• Tips on pruning: We’ll share some of the important techniques we’ve learned for removing the right branches to ensure healthy growth.
• Racing against the clock: With just 2 days to complete the pruning, we’re on a tight schedule to make sure we finish the job before the sun sets.

It’s been a journey full of mistakes, laughs, and plenty of challenges, but we’re determined to breathe new life into these trees and make them thrive again. The whole process reminds us of why we’ve chosen this life and how every little step counts as we restore this land.
