I have Moringa trees in my backyard. We dry and powder it for our own use. What a great "Miracle Tree" Take care ❤Peggy❤

Hi. Moringga trees can also be propagated by cuttings. I mean tree " trunk" cuttings but not the small twig branches. Here in the philippines, we rarey plant it from seeds. Often it is propagated with cuttings. Just need a mature, as big as your arm size of cutting about 2 -3 feet long and just directly stick in to the ground. In a week or 3 you will have those fresh shoots all over the branch. And in a year, the branch will grow as big as your thighs. In your place in Arizona heat, maybe adding shade will do for a couple of weeks will do just to avoid the cutting to dry up fast.

Root disturbance is no doubt a factor in Moringa tree growth differences. But it may be even more fundamental than that. Those directly down seeds will have developed in tandem with your soil's pre-existing micorrhizal fungi which is so often key to success. The various types of micorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with the flora; without them, you've got dead soil. Scientists have been warning for some years now that the tilling of the soil, artificial fertiliser and pesticide usage is killing off the soil organisms and that we only have approximately 50 harvests left before our soil's are toast. In other words, modern factory farming methods; it's why permaculture/regenerative farming is crucial to continued food security.

Incredible growth on those moringas from seed! That was an interesting experiment, well done.

Excellent video. Moringa trees, turkeys, chicken, ducks geese, goats and sugarcane, growing faster, God willing, your farm will best revenue generating in future. Ms. Lori is working very hard

My filipina wife uses the Moringa leaves in some of her native dishes. A Moringa Chicken soup is really good.

Hi Lori, Hi Duane. This has been a very lovely video covering many things that I have been wishing to see more of , eg. the pigs rooting about in the soil and the bit about the Moringa trees. I'd like to see how the ducks are coping with your set-up there and how the gray-water replacement has been functioning. Bye for now.

Thanks for the update. We started some seeds indoors a few weeks after you planted your seeds directly in the ground. We've transplanted to larger pots, but have not seen nearly the amount of growth that your in ground trees have. Time to change our approach.

Just a suggestion, you can feed your kitchen left over food with mixing some water in it for the thin one(pig).they like left over food alot.it could be any vegetarian left over from kitchen like cooked food or vegetable peels or soups too. Once he has liquid food he will pick up a good food habit from there onwards.

I’ve experimented with Moringa transplants vs directly seeded and cutting propagation. I found that direct seeded Moringa trees are healthier and grow faster and stronger. Thank you for sharing.

so glad for your many successes! i have hope to grow moringa in northern AZ, even if it's just for the summer. zone 7ish. thanks so much for sharing your moringa test. the piglet might be teething, and hard crunchies may hurt. that's probably why he created his solution, crunchy soup. those turkey babies really like you Mr. D.

Enjoyed your video and this morning it was delightful to see the animals while I had breakfast! I love what you are doing😊🦋

Thanks for the update. Sorry Duane, but I must say that Lori looks great in that hat. Very flattering.

Great content about the moringa tree. Thank you!!

Such excellent information, we need some moringa for our property, and some to share. After watching this I will be direct planting, even the dwarfs at home.

I'm very interested in seeing how the shade these moringas provide encourages smaller plants to grow under and around them, which you might consider weeds in the production part of the farm. You'll be needing those other sorts of plants if you're looking to develop a permaculture space and increase fertility in any case.

Amazing as always ❤

Have you ever considered planting date palms on your property? They are one of the classic desert fruiting trees and actually require very hot temperatures to make the fruit ripen well :)

ThNk you

Beautiful farm! Congratulations ❤ appreciate your moringa tips!

Great information. I’m a new subscriber.

The farm looking great 👍👍👍!

Thank you

Moringas are looking good!

Just planted carrots radishes and snap pees. Fertilized the trees.

GREAT channel!!!!!

I love your farm!

I was just looking if moringa will grow in Wittmann and I see you ARE in Wittmann! What a coincidence! I guess I'll plant some haha

that's a neatest farm I've seen :)

Moringa is so good for chicken soups. Oh, how i miss back home. I wonder if its going to survive during winter.

*Moringa, native to South East Asia is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Moringaceae. The name is derived from Murungai, the "Tamil" word for drumstick, and the plant is commonly referred to as the drumstick tree.*

Man, I've been without a phone for at least two weeks now!!! Finally set back up! We got moved to our new property also!!! Time to catch up on my favorite channel!!

Goodmoring to you both with all my love from Mesa AZ

Thanks Guy's

Hey you should grow Indian goosberry plant it is very nurturing and best for Arizona climate.. You can also grow by seeds if you can't find tree

The moringa can practically grow anywhere even from branch cuttings

Nice farm.

I like it

eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍

Do you have to/ plan on protecting these for the winter? Wire ring and mulch or leaves seems to work well.

You can also sell Moringa pods and overgrown leaves. They are very popular as vegetables among asians. Also they are very healthy food specially for diabetes. Dried leaves powder also Lot of people buy for supplements, to control diabetes.

Hi. We love your farm, big fans. Question, how cold does it get on your farm in winter? Will the Moringas be ok there? We are in Mojave and sometime its in 20ies over night but Moringa would be amazing tree for us if it survives winter.

I found the same results on the moringa, night and day difference. How much water do you use? I use about 2 gallons a week on them.

My mornings trees grow after each pruning 3 feet per week! And after 4 weeks they start flowering and Stopp growing so farst. I grow them in a heated greenhouse. But I never had any pods on my trees growing.

You might try a supplemental bottle feed for your runt pig as your probably right about him being weaned a few weeks too early; just for another 2-3 weeks. Had he stayed with the sow, she may have continued to feed him until he was able to cope on his own.

Have you tried growing sugarcane? Am considering it, here in 8A/B (southern NM)

Just tried this. The Moringa I planted from seed has so much more vigoe than the transplanted one.

What's the minimum of temperature in your place? I saw a lot of moringa trees in Cape Verde, and picked up seeds but never used it

How do you plant your fruit trees in deep holes or hill method?

I was planning to sow moringa seeds this month indoors but I think I'll just sow them straight outdoors. Which variety are you using? I was wondering what temperatures does your farm get down to in the winter. I live in southern Nevada at a high elevation so it gets stupidly hot in the summer but can go down to well below freezing at night in the winter.

Great video! Why did you put up that screen? thing by the banana tree?

Wow! I have had hit or miss with Moringa in Lubbock, Texas. Most likely always single season. Those direct seeded trees were phenomenal 😄 Appreciate your video. What month did you sow the seeds?

How deep do you plant your Moringa seeds? I have one that I started in a pot and two that i bought from Amazon as seedlings. I planted on about an half inch in the pot. Do I do the when I plant directly into the soil?

With your pigs, have you ever thought about acorn finishing them? If you planted southern live oak trees in rows and waited for then to acorn you could allow the pigs to finish on acorns and market that. Quercus Virginia “Joan leonetti” or Emory oak. Oak silvopasture

Am really hoping soon you will build your Polyhouse or similar structure to grow fresh vegetables and some herbs.. Please build it am excited for updates

I live in north west AZ at 6100 feet close to the Grand Canyon, can Moringa trees grow at this elevation?

Hey you can feed moringa leaves to chicken, turkey any animal they are great source of protein and minerals.. Also thier dry seeds are useful to clean drinking water

What month do you direct plant from seed in Arizona?

The turkey's seem to like the attention.

I have two moringa trees that I've done almost everything wrong with. I started them in small pots where they stayed for a couple of months--forgot them mostly. Put them in bigger pots, finally, and they wintered in an unheated greenhouse. Mostly unheated, they got some warmth whenever I dried clothes. The dryer vented onto a bunch of milk jugs filled with water. Put them in the ground spring of 2021. They had to think for quite a while before they decided to grow. Then, last fall, I finally got the 19 and lots of things didn't happen in a timely manner, so to speak. So--I really thought I'd killed them, they were just dead trunks, looking sad, but I treated them with benign neglect again and voila!! a tiny bit of green appeared at the base of the defunct trunk!!!!! So they have grown, slowly, in my heavy, black clay in central TX through this summer. When it gets cool , verging on cold, this winter, I plan to put a wire cage around them and fill it with pecan leaves. Sooooo, we'll see what happens. If (when?) they produce seed, I'll direct seed some around the chicken pen. BTW, I have abjectly apologized to them, several times, for treating them so poorly...just sayin'.

You might want to direct seed some moringa from different sources, just for genetic variability.

I plan to plant moringa seedlings to replace the trees I already have. I'm totally going renovate my farm, and the trees need to be removed and planted in another area. I'd like to share with you a new tree that's come to my attention recently. It may not be suitable for your environment. Have you ever heard of Nigerian Bitter Leaf? I'm experimenting with them and learning about their properties. So far I'm feeling they're on a par with moringa.

Moringa is a drought tolerant plant that will do well with minimal water and fertilizer, but of course it likes it 😃 Grows everywhere in the Philippines even on sidewalks and alleyways. It will probably take over your farm if you plant the seedlings on the edges where water is scarce.

I live in far south Louisiana...2 miles north of the Tobasco plant. My soil is heavy poorly drained & wet....what must I do to grow a Moringa tree ?

Poultry like to see if predators around, so pastures should always be below their line of sight. The seeded moringa look great. Are you selling seeds? I'd like to buy some! None of ours bloomed this year, and despite plenty of pollinators, we never get pods. Most of ours are direct seeded and those do best. That's pretty much true of all things. niio, kids!

We have tried everything to protect our young Moringa from mice , rabbits and mystery predators that love the leaves . Come out in morning to find them stripped of leaves . And even chewed off at the ground . We live in anthem AZ area , close to Whitman . What’s frustrating is seeds we have given to neighbors are growing , immune to these attacks. Suggestions please ?

Do you plant sugarcane for your animal forage too?

I bought my seeds from a local shop on Etsy.

Where can I buy a Moringa tree ( or seedling )

If more people did this AZ would be an oasis. I think date trees would do well in that climate

Do you, by chance, sell your Moringa seeds? The ones I got (amazon) didn't germinate, even after soaking 24hrs. Looking for some good seeds to start here in southern NM.

nice farm .. what type of plants are those in your turkey enclosure ?? leaves looks like sugar cane leaves ??

Morenga seem to be indestructible fast growing high nutrient trees

HI, can you explain about the fencing type and Cost for the same.

I planted a couple moringas by seed in July and they are only 4 inches tall. Have no idea why .

would you be willing to sell a few of the moringa seeds? I am also in Az, near Tucson.

My Thanksgiving Turkey is called Taquito

The seed pods (we refer to them as drumsticks) can be eaten. They are delicious when cooked in curry. The outer skin (outer layer) is not edible.

Make a food forest next

my tree dies to the ground every year in the winter and grows back at least 15 ft each year. I prune it back at least twice in the year at by december, it's still more than 10 ft tall.

Do you trim your moringa trees? I have heard people cut them in half when they get to about 10 ft. I just planted a transplanted one into a tall pot because I couldn't make up my mind where I wanted it to grow and it HAD to come out of the small pot. Don't know how to care for it. Your animals always look so very happy and healthy. Guess the huge price rise in livestock feed has to be killing you. I started growing Bermuda grass wherever it will grow on my one acre to help lower the cost of feed for my two horses. They love being out all day roaming my property. And I feed him store-bought pellets just in the evening now.

Just as we thought: it's the tap root with the moringa trees. Hint for future clips: more "turkey TV" (showing turkeys foraging the grass).

Those are happy turkeys.

Would you mind adding a link to where you actually start talking about the topic of your title? Thanks!

5:03 Keep him as a pet? 🙃 You're going to have a Moringa farm. I'm waiting for whatever recipes you come up with for that tree.

so much wildlife on the farm now. not enuf time to show each group. Maybe you have a previous vid, but what is the story on the big turkey that hangs out with the chickens? Leftover from a previous culling?

Moringga is a good feed for pigs to

Have you considered growing Neem too?

Does cuddletom live on?

When are you guys going to do bees?

I have 5 moringa seed starts with no success after 20 days What could I be doing wrong?

I think I see him when you let chickens out

just don't keep them in the pots more than 6 weeks and use 8-9" deep tree pots (Direct seed works great too )

Are you eating these animals...or is there another use for them on yr farm...?

Do you have coyotes trying to eat your livestock. We live in Glendale and coyotes kill neighbors pets. How do you keep your livestock safe all day?

Dang you dont even talk about Moringa until over halfway through the video. But thanks for the info anyways Moringa is great stuff.

moringa peregrina will be better in desert

Really comforting to know I was not the only one who thought caliper was funny, a caliper is used to support a dodgy leg or to measure the diameter of an object or the distance between two points, it is not in it's self a measurement. The trunk of a tree can be described in terms of it's girth or circumference or the diameter of the bole. Please remember the circumference is the measurement around the outside of a circle whilst the diameter is the measurement across the center of a circle and the radius is always half the diameter. Why you may ask is it so important to get terminology correct?????? it is so that every one around the world whether or not they speak English can understand what you are saying. A non English speaker say in China could pick up a Cantonese /English dictionary and work out what you are saying You really don't want to look a fool to the Chinese.

Hi guys 👋. You came up on my feed awhile back & when desert planting is mentioned, I’m subscribed. I usually just give a 👍 … im 74 with frontal lobe brain damage.. like a computer with Many viruses 🦠 😢, & it’s hard for me to always comment but have learned much from both of you. My Question… can I grow maringa (?) trees where I live🤔 . Im zone 5/6 in upper Northern Nevada desert. Weather is similar to yours except VERY minimal rain & snow… but when it does it FREEZES DEEP DOWN , lasting for weeks! Temps are hot… 108-118 cold 32- single digits. Our sand is not hard like yours. Have to dig 4’ to reach hard pan. It’s alkaline & blows in swirls 😢 I have 1.5 acres & have planted about 50 trees… elm trees are very hardy & give me plenty of seedlings which I pot up til big enough to plant . Also a couple others I bought but can’t remember names. I have a garden & my so built me a greenhouse 😊 we’re all about repurpose/ reuse, cardboard & Woodchips 👍👍. This year I scored big time with a new tree cutter/ chipper 😃 Sorry for rambling lol. Love your “bloopers “ at the ends. ROFLMAO & almost wet my pants🤪🤪🤪🤪 I will keep learning from you & a few other desert steaders 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

👍👍👍
