I just love the tours of this site. It gives me a glimpse into what the thousand or so trees I've crammed onto 2 acres will look like one day - especially the nut overstory that I invested in a few years ago. I can't believe how fast some of the heartnuts and buartnuts have grown, easily surpassing 7 year old trees in just a few years.

Yeah Juglans crew in a very happy spot are basically explosive in their growth. Tropical looking leaves and similar rates of growth during a jungle summer like we're having. It's great how rewarding it is just to plant and then you realize later on what you set in motion is just a stupefying amount of abundance for a bunch of generations and you get the feeling of reward from all directions!

High density perennial food thickets and patches are heartening to see and experience and work with. They have such wild, natural character, while being remarkably and refreshingly diverse in their makeup and productivity.

I so much love the appreciating way you always speak about plants like „characters“ or „volunteers“! It always gives a totally new perspective! ❤🙏🏻

Hazelnuts are flying here in the U.K. too… we have 4 trees that had always grown in mown grass and heavy clay that have never produced a decent nut in at least 30 years. Since discovering “your way” of doing things and mulching and planting it into a dense food forest they seem so much happier. I had given up on them and had planned to bring them into coppice just for poles, but I noticed some massive nuts yesterday, so maybe they just needed a bit of love all these years!

Hazelnut clusters are just so beautiful. The wood is supple, it should be ok without breaking. unlike manyorchard/ fruit trees neihgbourgs of mine cut back their hazel hedge, i’m glad a few have seeded themselves on my side of the property line. Last year they were plump and delicious fresh

I love your food forest layer videos. I lose about 50% what I plant due to weather and critters but what survives is doing pretty well so I expect in another 5 years I'll actually be eating from my "forest".

First 6 little hazelnuts on the trees we purchased several years ago from you Sean - just one overachiever tree - but very excited for next years yield!

@trumpetingangel Жыл бұрын

You've given me more ideas for the shade from my huge spruce trees. In vaguely related news, my hazels, elders, and currants have done well with the rain and even the flooded low land where they are. Alas, the last jostaberry is gone - someone ate it all up. Juneberries are coming right along.

Very glad most of the plants are thriving... You can always set Jostaberry in motion with cuttings to get more plants, they're easy that way... Happy growing!

What are some permaculture design elements that we can begin implementing to prepare for "aging in place"? So many of the permaculture systems I've seen don't translate well to the needs of individuals who are older, or have mobility issues, back problems, and so on. What are your thoughts on this?

@edibleacres Жыл бұрын

I think focusing on shrubs, trees and cane fruits that for the most part like to make a crop that is easily accessible when you are standing... Hazelnut, Elder, Currants, Goumi, Honeyberry, Raspberry, Blackberry... All stay within a realm of easy reach to maintain and harvest. Just one thought... Plant so you don't have to get on a ladder or go to the ground much!

How do you keep from getting frustrated from foraging animals like the squirrels eating your pecans. They get my pear tree early when the fruits are just berry size. Then I had a good crop of bush beans I was spraying with deer repellent daily. I missed one day because of rains and the deer ate half of them

@edibleacres Жыл бұрын

We've planted so much stuff in this landscape it's pretty hard to keep up with harvesting so when something is harvested before us it doesn't feel devastating since we're busy collecting something else. That said I'd like some Pecans this fall for sure!!!

That telephone pole is probably leaching toxins I and others prefer to avoid, and likewise you as well. Have you had the soil tested?

Haven't had it tested, but also didn't think about it much, for better or worse

@Kevinaronne Жыл бұрын

@@edibleacres Hi, love your videos and your whole approach to natural farming but this stood out to me as well. Many telephone poles are treated with nasty chemicals at the bottom to prevent rotting. Creosote, arsenic, petroleum products etc. Definitely something to keep in mind if what is growing around them is going to be consumed!

Any good suggestions how to remove the outer pod shell and crack them without killing my fingers?? I've tried air drying in my camper (and the squirrels had a hay day with that), putting them in front of a fan also, but dehydrating has worked the best so far. Cracking them with a nut cracker is hard on my hands. I saw a video where the guy lined them up in a driveway Crack with a pillow case underneath and used a hammer to break the shell. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. 🌟💡🌟
