MAJOR LAND CLEARING: Transforming RAW Land to Off-Grid Homestead

MAJOR LAND CLEARING: Transforming RAW Land to Off-Grid Homestead We're transforming our raw, abandoned land in southern Italy into a completely off-grid homestead. This week, we're tackling major land clearing by removing fallen trees, cutting back years of overgrowth and relocating a massive olive tree to make way for future projects. This episode is all about heavy lifting and hard work. We're clearing out a huge area that's been abandoned for years to access our cherry tree that hasn't been pruned in over six years. We also move an entire olive tree by hand to make room for a road we're planning to build to access the stone houses on our property. Luckily, we had some amazing visitors this week to help us with these massive projects. Moving an olive tree is no easy ride, it took all of us working together to get it done. 🍒 in this episode: - Clearing a huge area of fallen trees and raw overgrowth - Relocating a full-grown olive tree by hand - Preparing the land for future projects - Transforming 100-year old abandoned land into an off-grid homestead We power our entire homestead with solar energy, get our water from an underground well, and do all the work ourselves by hand. This is raw, real off-grid homesteading in Italy—the struggles, the wins and everything in between. If you're into land restoration, DIY projects, permaculture, or watching property transformations, then join us on the journey. No shortcuts, no big machinery—just hard work and determination. 🌱 subscribe for weekly off-grid builds, permaculture projects and land transformation content ➡️ support our homestead: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/anotherhomestead 👇 leave a comment: what was your fave part? do you have tips? 00:00 - major land clearing begins 0:45 - clearing years of raw overgrowth 1:56 - chipping fallen trees 2:15 - clearing raw land 4:54 - why we need to relocate this tree 5:15 - pruning the crown 6:45 - digging the new location 08:05 - moving a tree BY HAND 11:55 - a problem!! 12:35 - clearing raw land 13:45 - challenging task: can we really do this by hand?? 15:46 - heavy mulching 16:51 - take 2: can we really do this by hand?? 18:44 - the next stage 20:00 - next steps/outro 📍southern italy | 🏡off-grid living | ☀️100% solar powered #offgrid #offgridhomestead #homesteading #italy #permaculture #buildingahomestead #offgridliving #regenerativeliving
