Sorry ive been offline for the past week. Im from Florida. All my friends and family live there for the most part. So I had go in a few days ahead of the storm and be the sandbag and windproofing crew, then spend a few days after the storm clearing roads and cutting and hauling away large tree falls from people's houses and yards. Didn't leave much time for me to take care of my own stuff.

I hate when people plant trees almost on top of each other 😅 i hope you reach more people woth these videos !

I plan to make a long form video about all the important measurements you may need when working with a tree like root zones and what they mean when I have a bit more time. In the meantime here are some examples of what you may use drip line measurements for just to add on to the information in this video. Tree spikes and some other fertilization methods are applied using drip line to figure the proper amount to apply for each tree. When building or planting other plants near an already established tree you should find the drip line radius and do not dig or build within that area. That will typically be your critical root zone (CRZ) which is where the most important roots of a tree are and you do not want to sever or damage those roots under and circumstance if you plan to keep the tree. It's important to do it this way rather than simply identifying the location of the canopy because trees are not typically perfect symmetrical. Meaning almost all of a tree's 7M canopy may be on the east side of the tree but that does not mean the roots are also all growing in that direction. Lastly drip line is one of the easier measurements to get on a tree and it can be used to help estimate other measurements that could be important for various purposes.

Better to dig it out and plant something that likes the conditions. What you are doing is only a temporary measure.

wow

Sorry if the b-roll isn't the best. Ive been incredibly busy so I had to run out and make this video in like 30 minutes.

Will pepper plants flower in 24h light?

Question! Supposedly short style videos are typically 720p @ 30fps. I thought it was a good idea a while back to start uploading them as 1080hd @ 60fps because I figured there's no harm in looking better. But when I'm going back and watching this the first half of the video looks really blurry like RUclips is struggling to process it. Does it look like that for everyone? Is this just an issue with my phone or should I scale down the videos because RUclips can't support high resolution shorts?

I have not been able to upload much lately. Unfortunately my content is pretty heavily dependent on the weather which has been terrible here lately. I've got about 5 half finished videos so someday the sun will come out again and I'll finish all of those

Thank you for your tutorials ❤

I’ve heard that newer ones have batteries that can be recharged by USB-C PD. Is this true? Because if so, it’d be amazing to replace an old gas guzzler with something that can be recharged with a laptop charger

But you didn’t touch the subject of lawn mowers. I’m staying with gas on lawn mowers.

You don't know nothing you're giving terrible advice

It definitely takes less time to fill up your gas tanks in the morning before you start your jobs than having to wait hours for your batteries to charge after you just burned through them before noon.

Some other things I wanted to mention but couldn't fit in. There's a wide variety of prices for both gas and electric landscaping tools but generally high quality battery powered tools are much less expensive than similar quality gas powered tools. I also HATE HATE HATE leaving in the middle of a job to go get fuel. It kills efficiency, it's a waste of time and time is money. I've also had way less maintenance issues since switching to battery powered tools, HOWEVER the one downside is I don't really know how to fix them when they do have issues. This is mostly countered by the fact that almost all of them come with a 2 year warranty so usually you just take the broken one in and get a brand new one.

Small gardens and pots by nature have a smaller soil volume, can hold less nutrients in their soil and are typically completely filled with the root systems of your plants so they deplete soil faster and the roots can't just stretch out into more fertile soil if they need to. This means even if you plant your crops in rich, fertile soil that soil will be depleted by peak of harvest time and you have to be extra careful reviving it to avoid nitrogen burn and other issues related to over-fertilization. I also noticed it gets difficult to get the correct balance of nutrients once you start fertilizing mid-season. None of this is really an issue in the commercial fields or even a large garden like where I grow my trees and sweet potatoes but the nutrient levels in smaller plots of soil are like a rollercoaster. It's easy to overfeed and it's easy for the soil to get depleted. Basically the idea here is to constantly add small amounts of all the major nutrients to keep the soil constantly at optimal levels throughout the time when plants are fruiting or preparing for harvest. A few years back in an attempt to combat these issues I started mixing compost tea into my sprayer. Then I started still seeing phosphate deficiency in cabbage crops so I started adding in bonemeal and the wood ash followed to add potash and complete the major nutrient triangle. Over time I tweaked different things as needed, for example no longer putting the bonemeal and ash into the sprayer because it was clogging way too much, and putting less bonemeal into the mix vs ash. You may also need to tinker with things depending on your crops and your soil. For example using more or less compost tea depending on the crop, or skipping the powder every other time etc. but this is a good starting point for just about every annual crop.

We have a giant fig tree that has 5 to 6 3-4ft tall potential trees that could be made rather than just pruning it this year. what about the bag of soil taped over areas that the bark had been exposed? Been seeing lots of people doing it and wonder what your thoughts might be? Still technically a stem cutting propegation, just different tech?

Just a disclaimer am leaving this comment in a totally lighthearted spirit. It's a bit frustrating but I'm very very grateful for the amount of views and likes and subscribers my channel does get. This short is the prime example of what makes me mad with RUclips. Not the platform itself, like the audience and algorithm and all that. This is still my favorite short I've made. I think it's really cool, and I think it's an idea that a ton of people could take advantage of. I thought it would be my most successful short and maybe my most successful video ever. Nope, it did terrible. Then I have other videos that I didn't really think were that special and they get 100x as many views and likes... I'll never understand. Sometimes I think my interests are completely different from everyone else in the world.

This is meant to be self contained, but it is a continuation of the short from yesterday so if you are not sure exactly what I'm talking about go back and watch that.

I don't do product reviews. Every once in a while I just stumble across something that's so great I feel like everyone needs to have one. If you farm or garden in a hot environment, trust me you NEED one of these. Go find one!

So what was it? Fungus? Bacteria? Pests?

I never wouldve guessed it was the shears, but it seems obvious now that you point it out :)

That’s great info! Thank you

I pee sideways

Just to clarify it is supposedly possible to cross pollinate bush beans and pole beans, however I have grown these side by side in pots, fields and garden beds for years and never had an issue with any seeds not growing true to type. Both varieties are easy self pollinators and you would likely need to intentionally cross pollinate them to get them to pollinate with the outside pollen over the pollen already inside their own flower. But it is possible, and for that reason I do usually pull a couple batches of seeds of each variety every year. I just want to make everyone is aware that the possibility exists when planning their garden layouts.

Sorry the audio is a bit choppy in places. I had a supremely hard time getting this under 1 minute. I basically had to cut every word I could afford.

Well-done! Funny that the food pyramid, which derives from nutritional science, still boasts the “fruits and vegetables,” tier. Odd how language works.

I couldn't make up my mind if I liked this short or not. I thought it was interesting, but it's not the type of video I normally make. So I uploaded it off-schedule to see if people like it or not. I'm still going to try to release a short at the normal time tonight if I can get to it.

I never have thought of crop rotating to help with parasite and diseases but that makes good sense.

Wildlife love these trees

If you see black scale on your olive trees here's my suggestion/ how I handle it. I noticed these yesterday evening. I came back this morning when it was light and watched the tree for a couple minutes. I saw 3 chalcid wasps in about 5 minutes so I walked away and left the work up to them. Trust me, they are better at dealing with it than we are. There are specifically 2 genus of chalcid wasps I know for certain kill black scale, but I'm sure if you see it, then see the wasps in the same place they are probably doing their thing. If you DON'T see chalcid wasps in the area I would immediately go get a bottle of white oil and coat the leaves and stems just before sundown as using white oil in the height of the day can do as much harm as good.

Yeah i realised this over 30years ago when i was feeding my plants blood & bone & looked deeper into it & thought this is hilarious & vegans would go insane if they realised this!😂😂😂

I can’t express through words how dumb this idea is. Also, if you’re going to post something on the Internet, and then expect people not to comment about it and disagree with you, then perhaps you should tell it to your friends IRL.

Is there anything that vegans will not complain about? Now, it's even the phosphorous in the ground! They would prefer lab manufactured over natural?

You also gotta mention the fact that animals are hunted on farms EVERY DAY

Its like vegan is illogical 😂

DISCLAIMER: I'm not here to argue for or against veganism. I'm not going to argue ethics, politics, or religion with random strangers on the internet. I have better things to do, and it's pointless and not worth the stress. I just thought this was interesting, just something I was musing on while taking care of my crops. Curious if anyone else ever thought about this, or if many vegans even realize this because I meet A TON of vegans who buy organic produce from farmers markets and local flea markets.

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating for any particular irrigation control system or pump or anything. I'm using an old mechanical controller made the same year I was, because it's easy to repair, I use a pump I built myself because I'm cheap, and rainbird heads because I think they last the longest. But the important thing is just to have a system that automates watering to take all the guesswork out of it, and to make sure you are using well water or reclaimed grey water.

Stop using to much vocal filters you dont need that much compression on it

Interesting, i have never been good with plants for my entire life even though my mother has a green thumb. But i do like plants.okra is so good in a meat stew with rice.

Sorry if this seems rushed. It was. That lightning comment at the end wasn't some random quip I wrote in. I cannot get a solid hour of daylight this time of year without either torrential downpour or a lighting storm. Anyway, I said everything I wanted to say. I just didn't get all the video I wanted to put in.

Ty

They are very good! They do taste like cucumber but more juicy and refreshing I think

Sorry if I don't get to comments on this one. I usually try to stay up to reply to any questions or interesting comments for a few hours after I publish something. But I'm actually falling asleep trying to upload this. It's been hot humid and very busy this week.

Those cucumbers look like crap.

It's called pruning. Fruit taste sweeter and veggies have more flavor. Don't forget to score the base of the tree.

invasive species....... I started with one loquat. Now I am pulling out dozens every year.

I have about 20-30 different annual crops going right now, 5 different types of fruiting trees and about a dozen ornamental trees.and shrubs I grow to use in landscapes. If there's any particular crops or trees anyone wants information on, or any particular questions you have let me know. I never know exactly what people want to see. Quite the opposite actually, the videos I like the least usually do the best, and the ones I think are really cool nobody watches lol.

That ingenious!

I've had a bit of a mental block the last couple days. I keep making videos, then getting to the end and deciding I want to make a different video instead and start over and I'm just not satisfied with anything. Point is, sorry if this isn't good enough but I just had to force myself to make SOMETHING to get my mind back on task.
