Olives harvesting

Last year it was November 22-25 that olives were harvested in the garden. Below my Blog post of that harvest. 

This year the harvest was Dec 02-05 and yield was smaller:810 kg > 112 liter olive oil. 

The gardener and the house each get 50%.

Olives harvesting in Greece. With chainsaws branches are cut from the olive trees and from the cut branches the olives are stripped. The bags way about 220 lbs each. 

The garden has 20 olive trees and produced 11,000 pounds. 

about 6 kg of olives are needed to produce 1 liter of olive oil. 

Olives trees can have yearly high or low yield. This year is a low yield.
