    I LOVE this video! I have been doing what he does for years, I didn't realize it was called permaculture. I purchase empty lots and land with no trees and I plant them with mostly native plants and trees, I plant alot of black walnut, mulberry, raspberry, apples, blueberry and flowers that have seeds for the birds, butterflies and other wildlife, I also have ponds for the wildlife. My mother jokes with me every time I purchase some land, she says, are you going to turn this into a jungle too? I just laugh and say,I sure am!!

      @@indigo22284 I don't believe he 'owns it all to himself'. My observation is he extremely generous with abundance of this land and very aware of the privilege this gives him. Yet my statement was he is a generous teacher; that statement stands absolutely regardless of any form of land entitlement.

    That’s so interesting to see his perspective on the ideal interaction with the Lane and not being bothered by native and non native…. It seems to me from a total layman perspective that this is one of the least intrusive ways to be part of the landscape whilst also being able to benefit by eating from and also having a business selling plants.

    This year I found that by planting around/garden areas / plants tending to draw in bad worm borers- turnips and parsnips WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL. They never crossed over to other plants which usually attract them. All needed to be composted because of the worms could not be used for eating.
    Russian Autumn olives are a blessing for me ! I break off the ripe seed branches and feed to the peacocks because it helps them survive colder Temps in area thru winters, chuck full of nutrients! All native birds gather also, their so smart ! Beautiful tour, thank you all for this presentation.

    I'll be watching this a few more times. Listening to your conversation was very enjoyable. Along the way I learned the names & appearance of some natives in Upstate NY, which I haven't seen in my neck-o-the-woods, here in MA, Zone 5B.
    Though not too far from where you folks are, likely with a very similar climate, yet I saw several plants I've heard of but have never seen around here, even when I was a child back in the 50s when I lived in a rural area in Central MA. I'd enjoyed exploring the fields, woods & around the edges of a ponds at the bottom of the hill, behind our house quite a bit.
    Where the soil had been bulldozed to create a clearing, many years before, in summer, that was where the milkweeds & a few smaller full sun wild plants grew in that gritty bulldozed & roughly leveled area, & where I'd go to watch butterflies, wasps, & honeybees, and more flit about.
    I personally opened many dried milk weed pods & set free hundreds of the silky little balls of fluff that carried the Milkweed seeds up into the air on the slightest breeze.

    regarding the mast year, here in Michigan our Oaks are producing enormous volumes of acorns, the redbud are completeley festooned with pods, even the Autumn Olive were heavily loaded. We've only been here going into five years, but this is unprecedented for us.

    • @doloresreynolds8145
      @doloresreynolds8145 3 года назад +1

      FYI, last year, the oaks had a severe shortage of acorns, causing many squirrels to die or leave. It was a rough winter. Many ‘fruiting’ plants will develop a biennial bias, where there is a heavy harvest every second year, and a weak harvest on the alternate years, which is one reason fruit growers trim trees yearly - it promotes more balanced harvest year to year.
