Cool, I've never used it in that way myself! Thanks for the info.

Yeah this was filmed a while ago, but since then the use of plastic gloves ended up solving the problem and we're now we are able to harvest the mature papayas.

Every plant is different, and I would say that something like a mango can produce fruit anywhere in the tropics, it just depends how it is taken care of. This mango was never properly pruned to encourage fruiting. If it was, I am sure it could produce fruit in that climate (we actually had a mango tree at this farm start fruiting a year after we heavily pruned it). In general, it is smart to focus on crops that you know will grow well in your area because they require little maintenance, and you can quickly learn what these plants are by looking at what your neighbors have growing!

@@FarmedandForaged my brother, I thank you very much for your answer and the information ! It's a pleasure to read this, I hope u've got some spare time for a new youtube video whenever u feel like❤️

I don't think it was ever pruned during its earlier stages of growth, which could have a lot to do with it.

@@FarmedandForaged ahhh makes sense..thanks for the reply

Thank you! We're not. It actually takes an incredible amount of any plant to make a single vile of essential oil! Though we have a lot, we aren't growing it for production, but rather for the plants serving their purpose while growing.

true... guess that the oils are doing fine in the mulch.

Yes

Yes as far as you're concerned. As far as I'm concerned, living off-grid while having access to water, power, and food, and not being reliant on systems that are vulnerable to collapse (initially in the case of war/disaster), puts me in a much more resilient position for coming changes in the world. But you're entitled to your own perspective and we don't share the same fears.
