Foliar fertilising the Jackfruit trees
G'day folks, time to foliar fertilise the Jackfruit trees with micronutruents. Early start before the sun gets too hot to avoid burning of leaves. What a beautiful morning 🥰

G'day folks. It's time to prune the canistel trees and this is so much easier using the electric Infaco pruners.

Canistel Season and sunny days at last 😎

G'day folks! Its been a while! The endless days of rain have kept us off farm & stopped us filming anything to interesting. Finally we got some sunny days just in time for Canistel season.

Rain limits farming....so I made this rain tree table!
Просмотров 1967 месяцев назад
G'day folks. Well the rain just hasn't stopped! So hard to get out on the farm so lucky I had a wet season job up my sleeve and made this beautiful dining table from a slab we had cut from a rain tree we had to fell a few years ago. We did have a few short lived sunny periods which allowed us to use our new chipper trailer and jackfruit trailer and do a bit of pruning. Music from #Uppbeat (free...
Fruit picking & chipping prunings just got easier!

G'day folks! The rain just keeps coming so we turned our focus to undercover jobs. We got a new trailer to make picking fruit easier and that left the old trailer surplus to requirements so Ian converted it to a trailer for the chipper to make chipping and mulching easier.

Canistel crop management | Monsoon arrives | Cassowary & chick visit the farm

G'day folks. Hot & humid here in the tropics 🥵 Ian gets stuck into canister crop management and explains how and why we thin out the fruit. The monsoon arrives and we cop a fair drenching which delays pruning for now.

      The weed we are having issues with was a plant that was brought into Australia as an indoor plant. It would appear that someone has planted it outdoors somewhere. It is full of berries that the birds love but spread the seeds everywhere. It's not an exaggeration to say that by the time we've finished, we will have removed at least 500, maybe more.

    Ian it’s difficult with tropical fruits and soil as so little reasearch has been done when compared to the sugar cane industry for example. They get told exactly what they need to put out and have fertiliser custom made based on their soil tests. Those of us with tropical fruit trees are largely flying blind.

    • @meadowcroftfarmqld8577
      @meadowcroftfarmqld8577 2 месяца назад

      Yes, it is difficult. There are so many different crops that it's just not viable for companies to do the research as they are small volume crops. Government departments again focus on large volume crops. We've had three different agronomists give three different recommendations, two of which worked for the same company. lol We just look at the results to help make our own decisions and, to be honest, find leaf analysis the most beneficial over soil analysis.
