Dude, RUclips needs more folks that communicate this message the way that you do. Keep on keeping on brother.
Saskatchewan loves your show! Currently 23F here, seabuckthorn is awsesome. We grow it in rows for windbreaks. The fruit is SUPER high in vitamin C, you will need to clip the branch with the fruit clusters on it. Place the clippings in the freezer, easiest way to remove the fruit. Warning! Seabuckthorns like to sucker so it will pop up and keep expanding if you leave it alone. Goats love eating it so they can kill it if not fenced out. Keep up the good fight and down with the NWO!!!!!
Thank you for the awesome vote of confidence, my friend! Blessings to you and yours!
Indiana concurs.
Thank you for your additional tips from cold Ontario CA
Silverberry, Sea buckthorn, Autumn Olive all thorny. Good nitrogen fixer for perimeter safety, chicken feed as well as humans. I have also planted Raspberry and Blackberry along the perimeter of my food forest. My thought with my design of thorny near perimeter fence is to deter someone climbing my fence to get to the fruit trees and garden produce would have to endure some pain first. Then they will have to get by my dog....
Now, that is an awesome strategy!
i wanna build a wall of smilax, cactus, roses, holly, and a couple other pokey trees and bushes so if someone tries it, they get stuck, and I can eat most everything from my safety guard
Recently subbed, good stuff! My husband and I were just talking about expanding our hugel kiltur- we had amazing results on this organic gardening mound! I have no idea what I'm doing, just throwing darts at a board. We moved to an old home with a ton of acreage and feel endebted to the land. We have 82 acres, so there's a load of clearing to do, but also lots of opportunity to build up something beautiful and bountiful. Love your passion and appreciate your expertise!
Great video! I'm building soil at my place using tree trimming mulch and nitrogen fixers. I appreciate the fact that you are working and doing as well as telling. I got my comfrey from you and it has multiplied tremendously! Never heard of comfrey until your channel.
Love that you bless your trees!
This plant, buckthorn, is new to me. I'll research it further. Thanks for another knowledge nugget.
God bless.
just to clarify its sea buckthorn, the scientific name is hippophae rhamnoides. theres another plant called buckthorn that is a noxious weed where i live.
@@Ok-vj3dw thank you.
Great to hear from you, Kenneth!
@@Ok-vj3dwThanks for mentioning the distinction, if there really is one. After 5 years work to reclaim some property from ordinary buckthorn, no one could convince me to plant it on purpose!
Thank you im one of those who became a gardener over the pandemic and it turned into a life style and I have Jesus to thank. And you to remind myself to thank God and bless the plants because only He knows how to sustain it. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.
Blessings to you and yours, my friend!
Well it is trying to snow in Northern KY after we were spoiled by some very nice weather in the upper 40's . But it is winter and it is past time for cold weather. I have been getting rid of some black walnut trees, way too many for the hillside I am clearing. Putting in fruit trees and bushes then some grass seed in Feb. I will have to save up for some comfrey, after the ground is cleared. A happy New Year to all.
Happy New year my friend!
@Ni-dk7ni I have way too many my goal is to get down to 20 or so. Plus a bunch of invasive honeysuckle and wild grape vines. I will be replacing them with fruit trees and near the ones I leave I will put oaks which will feed the squirrels, deer and turkeys . Little to no grass grows on this hillside making it none productive. I try to use the nuts up in a few years, but they do keep for a long time. When I was a child we would gather black walnuts by the truck load from our farm and sell them to a store. As kids it was very good money. That store no longer exists.
I believe asking for a blessing is one of the best things you can do. I always thank God for my garden plants
Absolutely!!
Hey, I watched a recent video of yours earlier today & in the what to watch next list I was diverted to your sons channel. He was clearing up an old abandoned property. He makes really good videos too! Bonus for me. Hi from Down Under 🙂 Love your work!
That is awesome! Thanks a million and blessings to you Down under!
Arborist here. I recommend against what I call the mulch volcano. There are 2 reasons. 1 rot. consistent moisture on the bark above the root flair will rot the bark of most varieties. 2 self girdling. The roots really like all those nutrients and watre in the mulch. at least one intrepid root is bound to either partially or completely girdle your tree as it reaches around instead away from the tree. tree gets bigger and now it has a noose around it. Mimic the forest. Keep that root flair up. Skip the heavy mulch. If you need to amend the soil do it radiating out from the tree(how you want your roots to grow) not encircling it so close.
I have cut down many dead trees planted in this way in newer developments. The story is always the same. People ask me why. I show them the roots that girdled their tree. We go through the property removing mulch from the root flairs of other trees and removing girdling roots above the root flair. They call me back trees are all doing great. I promise you that this is not the best way to plant your trees if you want a sustainable orchard.
You always have great information. I appreciate it.
Have quite a few broken down cardboard boxes ready and waiting.
You and me both!
In November, I replaced a pear tree that bought-it in the burning sun planted last spring, the same happened to a Pink Lady apple. I'm a believer of planting in the fall, like you said there is growing activity below ground while the top is dormant.. I order trees from Home Depot (Online Orchards) and the Asian Pear whips have been high quality (compared to other vendors), the dwarf Comice European pear (mentioned above) was potted and the roots looked healthy as it went in the ground.. For those reading this: If you can get your trees planted before the spring weather arrives, the roots will have a head start even if the ground is freezing/thawing before things come to life. Pine bark mulch will help keep the frost off the roots unless its very cold where you live, its also cheap and breaks down into great soil.
Sounds like a good strategy, my friend!
The best plant I can think of for border defense would be the trifoliate orange. Very sharp, hard thorns up to 3 inches long. Trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) is a cold-hardy citrus plant known for its tolerance to cold temperatures. It's well-suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9 (Wikipedia).
That stuff is also great firewood!
I wonder if this would be affected by the citrus greening we have here in Florida?
It’s also one of the best rootstocks for other citrus plants.
What would you do with those fruits? I like sour, but those are beyond sour!
Did NOT know that!
❤❤❤thanks for sharing
Awesome Billy i been using that cardboard sents i seen some of your videos on it i still got a bunch in the truck
Right on!
I’ll look into sea buckthorn
Thanks 😊
Beautiful! God bless ❤
Thank you! You too!
I've never heard of this plant/ bush , but it sound good. I hope it works great for you! Happy New years !
Thank you! You too!
Thank u gor information that's good
Can you put a link to the brand of fungal inoculate you use on your cow pea to make your land more fungal dominant? Thanks in advance! Love your videos! We’re planting trees right now to make our first small permaculture orchard, and I often refer to yours and Stefan’s videos.
God bless
Hey Billy. Where did you get the sea buckthorn this time of year? Im having a hard time finding some in East Tennessee.
Onegreenworld
Michelle found it online somewhere I’ll find out and let you know.
One Green World has quite a collection of sea buckthorn varieties and Burnt Ridge Nursery has seedlings. They are also called sea berry. They are becoming more common as other nurseries start growing them for sale.
Wow, while I was trying to find the name of your mentor's channel I discovered I wasn't subscribed to your channel.(I watch YT on our tv so to comment I had to get on the YT app that is on my phone.) I was pretty sure I was, but maybe I wasn't. Well, I am now.
Love learning from you
Awesome, thank you!
Billy, could you approach your neighbor with how to get rid of that Invasive Chinese Silver Grass? Windborne seeds and individual plants can regrow from tiny rhizomes. Sea Buckthorn has a fantastic history and wonderful for a cream/salve.
That’s crazy as it sounds, I’ve tried and they just seem not to care.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 It might just not be important to them at this time. Everyone wakes up at different times.
Does putting the layers of cardboard not interfere with the rain reaching the earth? I would think the water would roll right off the cardboard? What am I missing?
It definitely gets in but it helps if you wet the cardboard first in dry climates.
Hi, Love your channel. Where are you located ( zone?). I am in Oregon. Just wondering how much precipitation is needed for the trees you suggest. Also are any of these Alleopathic, if so, can you create guilds around these? Thanks
Put the dirt in a box so you don’t get the ground dirty
Love your enthusiasm but Billy we have a few inches of snow on the ground here in North Idaho. Today was the first day in 2 weeks it got above freezing. Cleared land this summer; hoping to plant next fall. What about the voles a moles?
I can’t say for sure, but it seems that the voles only attacked the trees that were not protected with bone sauce. Cats will also do a pretty good job of kicking them in balance.
1/4” hardwire mesh wrapped around the trunk from below ground to as high as the lowest branches will deter herbivores from killing your plants. Moles eat worms and grubs, not plants.
I'm in the south central Idaho, finally got rid of our 3 inches of snow, but is it too late to plant when the temps run between 27-49° someone said if you can work the ground, you can plant? But does that count if you use post hole digger on a tractor? 😅
Do you have the male and female for the sea buckthorn?
Isn't buckthorn a invasive there. It sure is here. And it really spreads fast
theres a different plant also called buckthorn, the scientific name is frangula alnus and its a noxious weed in the US. the plant in this video is sea buckthorn, scientific name hippophae rhamnoides. just to be clear.
How far can the male buckthorn be from the female ones?
I’m not entirely sure, but we have them no further apart than 100 meters.
May I ask you a question? What do you think of family tree planting. You plant up to four fruit trees in the same hole. Four in the same "family". Four types of citrus, four types of pear, four types of peaches etc
Never heard of that before
I’ve never done that before. The closest I’ve come is planting nitrogen fixters in the same hole as my productive tree.
As with multigrafted trees (different scions on different branches, sharing the same rootstock), you will have to struggle a bit to balance the vigor (by pruning & bending branches) of the competing cultivars. It takes work, but that may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve variety, a prolonged harvest, and cross-pollination if you only have a small amount of land to work with.
@@erikjohnson9223 Thank you. Yes, I want to cram as much variety into my small garden as possible. It's a sloping property and catches a lot of strong wind too. I'm thinking the roots of four trees planted together would have more "grab" and be less likely to topple. Would you agree?
Where did you find the seabuckthorn tree?
One green world
Loved your pimp cast last night, I'm new to all of this. Can you explain the difference between nitrogen fixer?
Also I know you're very busy and can't be a leader in a community but you may be able to steer us in the right direction
A nitrogen fixer pull nitrogen from the air and fixes nitrogen in the soil, feeding nitrogen to plants around it. A dynamic accumulator usually pull other micro and macro nutrients from deep in the soil to feed plant near by
Ditto to that response!
@@maryjane-vx4ddTechnically they only host bacteria that do that, so if you are starting them from seed and live in an area where they (or plants using the same symbionts) are not already found, you may have to inoculate them (e.g. with soil from around established plants). Some innoculants are commercially available, but more commonly for herbaceous forage or vegetable types (that's where the established money is in industrial agriculture).
Is the sea buckthorn invasive in Georgia, zone 8?
They probably “invasive” everywhere. I just plan on managing them pretty well.
To my knowledge, evergreen Elaeagnus (notably E. pungens) and autumn olive (in the more Appalachian areas) are on the state lists. Hippophae is not (yet). Since like Russian olive, it is typically native to Steppe (& coastlands), it is probably more likely to be a problem in dry areas (sandhills in the SE, western states).
There is no way in my frozen ground I'm getting a shovel in the soil
In your case, you would have to wait until spring.
Asking the Lord for blessing when you plant is atleast as important as thanking the Lord for the bounty upon harvest
I aint no preacher, but I know that my green beans did better when I prayed for help upon planting. Just sayin. Tomatoes too.
The Lord may give you a no answer, but he will never blow you off.
Well said
