Seems like every time I watch Mark is schooling me on one subject or another. I think it is wonderful the depth of your knowledge and such a young age. Yes to me you are young 😎

When my parent moved to Florida they wanted to put in a garden in their lot, but the soil was all sand below the thin layer of top soil that grew their grass. After they tilled the soil they collected newspapers from all the neighbors and what they had saved for a while. They shredded that newspaper and mixed it in with the sand and added in bagged leaves and grass clippings to build up the organic matter in the native soil. It took a while, about a year for the amending of the soil to show results. They grew a traditional garden with sweet corn, tomatoes, green beans, cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, etc. Because of the temperature and weather where they lived, they planted two gardens a year. There was about a month and a half in the winter when it could frost and there were two months in the summer when it was just too hot for most of the stuff they grew in the garden. But they could plant in late February and harvest in late April/early May. Plant again in late August/ early September and harvest in November.

Sounds like a great plan. Fruit trees provide a source of edible produce and the roots will help keep the ground in place.

love the voice over discussion instead of music thanks

I’m super excited to see the next video for this project! I love watching your projects in each phase!

Good Job MMR!

That's going to be a beautiful area for an orchard.

good job! nice machine!

You amaze me for you can do so many different projects. You both keep up the great work and it will be amazing.

Exciting long term project, congratulations on getting started! Great equipment, save room for mowing between the trees.❤

Nice mower for the money, should become a good orchard😊

Remember with fruit trees comes the animals so, your going to have build a high fence to keep them out. I had to build 12 foot fence to keep the deer out and a strong fence to discourage the Bear from recking it.

Yes it does look great well done

Thanks for sharing your work! 😀👍❤️🚂💨💨💨💨💨

Ok that’s it! I am going to be a squatter on your property. I already have my camp site picked out 😂💞

Awesome.🙂

Good afternoon 🇬🇧

If possible your fruit trees should be on a western slope. The reason for the western slope is the east and southern slopes get morning sun which can cause sun scald or splitting of the bark in the winter.

Just tell the neibor? We’re planting Orange and Lemon trees for global warming❤ Love it.

A food forest would improve your soil tremendously and help prevent erosion

😊

Thanks for the video.

Marc, it is not sand, Shawn Wilsey in one of his video said it is volcanic ash, sand is made of silica, or quartz, the soil in southern Idaho is volcanic ash fro the last Yellowstone eruption.

Glad to see you getting this done..you'll find as the years go by you only have so many summers left in the tank, and trees take a long time to mature into good producers. Remember on many fruit trees, you need a variety to get pollination.. and fruit.. Or be self fruitful... it's complicated. Work with someone knowledgeable.

Been a while I miss your videos ❤

Have you looked into Swells to control how much water is caught in your terrace of the hill side. If you watch the youtuber on the Dutch farmer in Portugal its really fascinating how he grew the fruit trees in swells to retain the moisture and improve the water table.

Good morning to you all

👍

Sure! Plant fruit trees! Make me even more jealous that you are living my dream, why don't you! ;) Love your videos. Greetz from Amsterdam the Netherlands

Such a cool video, the drone shots really help to understand the scale. Will you sell the fruits of your orchard?

🌹🌹❤🌹🌹

How will drip lines hold up to the winter temperatures? Or will you lay them away for the winter months in storage to avoid cracked lines??

2:27; isn't the steep slope better the way it is (mostly) for grape vines anyhoo?

Marc, any nut trees or bushes , goin in the Orchard ?
