    I want to grow one of those trees with several varieties of apples at once. I am just dipping my toe in the pond...going to give your wax a try! I haven't tried grafting at all so for me this will be a bold experiment!

      Thanks Linda!
      Glad you enjoyed the vid. Hope I come up with some more ideas for making DIY`s in the future. I`m not so familiar with learning away things in a video, so this is very new and a bit "scary" for me to do. Lol..
      All the best,

      Glad you enjoyed the video. Grafting is very fun, and not so very difficult. Some failures will always occur, but the joy with the graftings that succeed makes one forget the bad ones. :)
      Hope to do some more grafting videos in the future.

    Halvor, Great bit of wonderful information. I once had Luther Burbank's recipe for old-time grafting wax, It was similar to yours. Unfortunately, I forgot how to make it, so thanks so much for sharing. I think it may be hard to find pine tar here in Australia so will have to go web surfing to find it. I will be watching all of your presentations.

    The only thing we used pine tar for was putting on the wound when we castrated our hogs. It helped to heal and keep infection down. Haven't seen any in years. Nice to see how you use it.

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  9 лет назад +1

      Yepp, tar can be used in so many ways. Coating houses, sealing wooden boats, making tar soap, glue, medicine, tape, bandage, you name it. I think tar have saved many lives through the generations.
      As a young lad I was lucky to learn alot of stuff like this from the "oldies" around. The big job is to remember it all, lol.. Hope vids like this can be useful for the newer generations. Who knows, maybe old remedies like this will get a new renaissance in the future?
      All the best,
      Halvor.

    • @SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me

  • @marisahutchison8515
    @marisahutchison8515 9 лет назад +1

    Halvor, wonderful video. I so very much enjoy knowing how to do things myself the way my grandfather would have done it. Here in the US, tried and true methods have been lost to modern chemical processes. We americans have lost many valuable basic lessons. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make the grafting wax in two ways. Maybe you should keep an old set of spoons for projects, LOL. I have ruined many a good fork digging in the dirt with it. Oh, by the way, I made a small video , about 4 minutes, a tour of my immediate neighborhood and looking forward to more of Norway. Your Calif Friend, Marisa

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  9 лет назад +1

      Thanks for kind words, Marisa. Glad you enjoyed the vid!
      About forgetting old tried and true methods, I belive that`s similar all over in the industrialised countries. The majority of people has forgotten it here in Norway as well. I`m glad I learned so much things as a young lad from the "oldies" around. There wasn`t so much other entertainment for us around here out on the countryside. Lol..
      I think old stuff like this is a great culture treasure that needs to be saved for the future. By making videos of it, I find a way of contributing to this task.
      Haha, you made me smile when you mentioned the forks you used in the garden. my mom always used it as well, and her "garden fork" was twisted and bent in all directions. Lol..
      I have started to watch your vids, so you will certainly get some comments soon. :)
      All the best,
      Halvor.

    • @marisahutchison8515
      @marisahutchison8515 9 лет назад +1

      I actually thought it was pretty much the US that turned its back on the old ways....but until I met my You Tube friends I had no communication with people who live in other countries. I had tunnel vision. Thanks for helping me to think differently. The people that have moved here, to the US, may speak about the old ways but I though they all still used them. Lovely to have a larger understanding. Blessings Halvor.

    @dagny8126 9 лет назад +1

    I have to mention your very clean and tidy kitchen, I'm very impressed...Tidy kitchen for me=happy Dagny :D
    Anyway, your video is very interesting, The stuff you make with purely organic ingredients, the tar and all that good stuff, man, it's truly something one can use for so much. I remember my father, a fiskerman up in the north, he swore to tar, for anything! And it truly helped. Fishermen those days often got their fingers caught in the fishing angle and it got infected. If it wasn't treated they could get a very bad infection and many of them died actually. So the tar has saved many lives. I believe my grandmother used a lot of that stuff and also natural herbs. She used to say that if she had lived in the "good old days" she would have been burned as a witch! I believe it! Nature has given us an abundance of plants an all sorts of remedies to help ourselves, we just have to be more aware and start using it :)
    Love the video, you are quite creative and most of all you use what nature has given us, in a way you give thanks back to the lovely nature, and plants that are there for us to use :)
    Thank you for another lovely video :)

  • @tblbaby
    @tblbaby 9 лет назад +2

    Great natural waxes. I guess these are just for trees and not tomato plants or other garden plants? Good ingredients for other applications as well I think. Valuable info Havlor, thanks.

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  9 лет назад +1

      I`ve used the coldfloating wax for sealing wounds on tomato plants, and that worked very well. As I have read and seen, they usally don`t need wax for tomato grafting. Anyhow, I wouldn`t be surprised if there are someone that uses it for this purpose. There are so many methods and techniques out there.
      All the best,
      Halvor.

    Great stuff mate I thought grafting tomatoes yesterday lol. Now I know better great vid. Nice grafting box too. I still need to go and cut the scion wood for the apricot but I have time still - temps and 30cm snow. I am sure it will wait a week or so. The pine tar will be interesting looking forward to that.
    Oh its nice to see you Mate.
    Dave

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  9 лет назад

      Thanks, mate! Glad you enjoyed the vid.
      I have a feeling you like DIY-stuff. Lol..
      I really enjoy making boxes and other woodwork as well. I will soon be making an oldfassioned corner cupboard when I get a bit more time. Looking foreward to that.
      You know, there`s some great vids out there about grafting tomatoes. I`ve always wanted to try it. Maybe I`ll give it a shot this spring? Looks really fun. The coolest thing I`ve seen, is when they graft tomato plants into a potato plant. Would have been a great celebrity to have in the garden. Just as a show-off plant, hehe..
      Hope I can do some pine tar destillation when the snow has gone outside. I nee to have a proper fundation for the kiln.
      And thanks for sharing the vid! :)
      All the best,
      Halvor.

    • @SouthpawDavey
      @SouthpawDavey 9 лет назад +1

      I love making things I will always try to make something before I would buy it if I can and its fun trying when I have the time. I have 70% with your tomatos so far. I will not try to graft to my potatoes this year lol. But I will be growing them on and posting the results.
      I understand you have to use the root of the pine or sap wood for the pine tar. We have 30cm snow now. a lot of stuff I want to get on with the grafting I am looking forward to try.

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  9 лет назад

      Southpaw Davey Just like me, haha..
      The tomato seeds can take up to 20 days to germinate, so you can still improve the percentage. I`ve seen this late germinating several times.
      We often use the roots of the pine, but also "tyritopper" as we call them. It means tree tops that are soaked with tar due to a winter damage. The tree will produce loads of tar to seal the wounds.
      We are still waiting for the "real" winter to arrive here. We only got about 20-30 cm snow at the moment. 30 cm snow we call rime here at my place. :)

      I`ve made up a good amount of tallow, and will not need to do more amounts of it for some years, lol.. There is some good vids around on youtube, processing tallow.
      All the best,
      Halvor.

  • @10yearvet
    @10yearvet 9 лет назад +1

    Great info, Halvor. Looking forward to the vids on extracting the pine tar and cleaning the tallow. Now I gotta get the bees for the beeswax.

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  9 лет назад

      Thanks, J. Glad you liked the vid.
      I need to wait until the snow has gone before I can start up the tar extraction. There`s a couple of things in the preparation part that`s best to do on bare ground. Hope I can manage to do the tallow cleaning in short time.
      I would like to have some honey bees as well, but as I can see, it`s quite a responsibility and much work with them. Don`t know if I can cope with it, beside all the other daily things i do. Hope you get on nice with your plans of beekeeping.
      All the best,
      Halvor.

    • @10yearvet

      I think it`s a very good idea to study and learn as much as possible before getting the bees.

    Neat(tidy) kitchen...my kitchen is a pathway between the garden-chicken coop- the 'wilds'- & Jasper, not advisable to eat off my floors unless you have great immunity and a strong stomach. Good to learn the true way to make grafting wax. In the South(Dixie) pine tar was used to treat mange on dogs; then, of course, the dog would get in the house and destroy the furniture trying to rub off the pine tar.

    Hei. Interessant video. Det er ikke så lett å få tak i/lage talg selv i disse dager, har du noe substitutt for dette? Er det f.eks uproblematisk å bruke vanlig rapsolje eller tilsvarende i stedet?

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  8 лет назад

      +Jon Eirik Nilsen
      Takk for det.
      Godt spørsmål. Jeg får tak i talg ved å spørre slakterne om å holde av noe til meg når de parterer. Et substitutt for talg var neimen ikke lett å komme på i farta. Måtte muligens vært noe fast fett. Kanskje kokosfett kunne funke? Jeg har ikke prøvd det sjøl, men det kunne vært interessant å teste ut?

    • @joneiriknilsen7174
      @joneiriknilsen7174 8 лет назад +1

      Ja, har allerede vært rundt og spurt på butikker hvor de har en større ferskvareavdeling, men neimen ikke lett å få napp, veldig mye kommer ferdigdelt, slik at det blir tilnærmet ingenting igjen på den lille delingen som gjøres. Kokosfett, er det lett tilgjengelig i butikken? Hva med f.eks delfiafett tror du. Det har litt tilsvarende konsistens?

    • @gardeninginnorway478
      @gardeninginnorway478  8 лет назад

      +Jon Eirik Nilsen
      Ja, delfiafett er jo herdet kokosfett, med høyere smeltepunkt. Du får
      bare eksperimentere deg fram, og se hvordan det går. Det skulle ikke
      skade podekvister/stamme kjemisk iallefall.

  • @joneiriknilsen7174
    @joneiriknilsen7174 8 лет назад +1

    Hei igjen, fikk tak i noe talg, så har prøvd å lage litt. Umiddelbart så alt greit ut (den varmtflytende), dekker bra, men den blir tilsynelatende ikke helt hard (antar den du lager størkner i løpet av minutter, maks en time el 2?) Vil jeg kunne kompensere for dette ved å tilføye mer bivoks tro? Hilsen Jon Eirik

      @gardeninginnorway478  8 лет назад

      +Elias A Massih
      Difficult for me to point out excactly what is wrong, as long as I cant see the consistency of the wax. If you add wax to it, you`ll might have to warm up the grafting wax before use. It can also be the kind of tar you are using, that could be something strange with. Tar has some components in it that can have different melting/evaporation temperature points.
      All the best.
