Designing and Planting a STUMPERY Garden - Ep. 255
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- We were wondering what we could do with the opening driveway, which borders our wild wooded edge and is outside the deer fence, so we figured we'd keep it rather wild and make a stumpery garden of sorts. Not only that-but we found a much more "natural" stumpery in another section of the land, which will eventually get included within the deer fence-making more native plantings possible.

Its a great idea for housing little creatures.
Love this! It's like watching me 40 plus yrs ago, figuring out how to live with nature here on 35 acres in Alaska, z.3. Moose!!
The stumpery is a great idea!🤗💛🤗
Loved this, thank you. You have given me ideas on how to use those large tree stumps on my property. 🌵🐝🐾🐰🐥👍
Oooohhhh! YES! A stumpery! I absolutely love it and would be super excited to watch an episode on moss if that’s something you’d ever be interested in identifying and explaining the benefits of. Also, my husband and I have been talking for years about having a decorative log in our front yard covered in moss and plants. So encouraging to see others in the native gardening space doing the same.
A Stumpery is an outdoor terrarium. How fun!
I routinely plant right into woodchips in my garden I’ve not noticed it being a major problem for most stuff. And over a few years all that stuff decays to compost anyway and it feeds the fungi and plants well so I never really worry about it now I’ve started to consider not using woodchips in some areas to keep ground bare for ground nesting bees and such.
I didn't know the name for this, but have seen one made from tree stumps and fallen branches at my local botanic garden with lily of the valley amongst other plantings. I love the way they look, and look forward to seeing how yours develops!
Always love your videos and the title of this one is particularly intriguing ... The only one I know of is the Highgrove garden Stumpery created by King Charles III in Gloucestershire - no pressure
I love Daffodils. Wow, what a show of them you have
I love stumperies! Ive also seen so many cool logs by the side of the road but im too scrawny to pick them up
Maybe making a video on how to grow out little tree plugs in bigger pots? I think they have the problem that they cut down little trees by accident or they get suffecated by weeds. For example technices like that air pruning and stuff like that with pros and cons. Would be a lot cheaper i guess and they have the space i bet.
leaving wood to decompose is great for nature, and it can be sculptural and super cool. great job!
I am always looking for new plant suggestions for may garden...I don't use all of your suggestions, but the videos give me wonderful starting points for many new directions.
I love the idea of a stumpery! Also, I have a red-leaved Redbud and the deer love to eat it 😖
I had never heard of a stumpery, but now I want one! 😄 I love learning more about different approaches and then incorporating the bits that fit. Thanks!
Same!
Even vegetables don’t mind woodchips IF the soil is already rich i organic matter (forest floor) AND the chips are dropped on top and not mixed in the soil.
If the chips are mixed into the soil (it’s a technique to quickly rebuild soil texture (prevent erosion) and fungus networks : nitrogen ’ robing’ happens. It’s actually nitrogen borrowing, it gets locked into the composting, and then slow release as the organic matter is used up in the soil.
22:20 Do I hear "It's okay honey, you tried" not being said?🤣 noooo, no haha
We planted a one-stump garden years ago in NY. Cut down a willow tree behind the garage that was getting out of hand with the stump up a few feet from the ground. By the next year it was rotting, plus of course, little shoots coming out. We hollowed it out as much as we could, put in some potting soil and planted red impatiens which loved it there and grew like crazy. It was beautiful. We did the same the next year and a chipmunk took up residence in the stump as well and we loved watching him in the flowers. And here we thought we were so original!
Really, you have a stumpery now as well? Nice! It was the first thing I did when I got my allotment two years ago, because there were some stumps lying around. I still really like it, also in partial sun and with other types of perennials. It's definitely popular with the insects (and toads!) and it offers different plant habitats (both moist and well-drained) for plants as well!
I love that term! I always keep interesting pieces of wood in my gardens. Some last for years but always break down into organic goodness!
Thank you Ms. Summer and Sander. 💐💚🙃
Always learn something new with this channel! Thank you Summer and Saunder
Love stumps…we live in the woods with stumps, but I often find driftwood at the beach that I utilize in my gardens. I like your concept …. Plant the garden in the natural stumps. I’ll be looking for your updates on this project. 💚
Great video. I've been wanting to create a stumpery. Had to remove a massive oak tree, last year. It had a large cavity and I filled it with various sedums, ice plants and hardy succulents.
Deer love to eat my spicebush! And Lily of the Valley is a big problem because it invades into the woods like crazy from the garden bed. (It was not planted intentionally. Its roots were in other plants given to me by friends.) I would not recommend planting it where it is free to roam.
Great stumperies and plans. Deer eat my flowering quince and Solomon's Seal, though maybe you can get away with it. For trees and shrubs, I save a lot of time and labor and some dollars by mulching with straw rather than wood chips. It's so quick and easy. Definitely not a manicured look but can be surprisingly aesthetic. Couple hay with colorful rooster sculptures (or stumps!) and you get a quick farmyard rustic look. A good way to get visual interest and fruit production outside deer fencing is to plant and temporarily protect domesticated grape vines on well situated pre-existing trees (above browse). Otherwise, black currants and pawpaws deer don't bother even growing at low levels. And black currants can produce more heavily in partial shade than in full sun. Tall tubed trees can be planted above deer browse, of course. Persimmon would be great, since it can hold both visual interest and fruit in fall and winter. Doesn't hurt that pawpaw and persimmon are the premier tree fruits of size both regionally and on the continent, in my view. Dessert fruits, no less. Flying Dragon hardy citrus (lemon-like) also seems to need no deer protection since so thorny and could be hardy there. I've been growing it in zone 5 for a few years now. So good so far but will see. Brunswick fig has bushed out wonderfully each year on a mound for a decade after annual total topkill. No fruit but very ornamental leaves and entirely deer proof.
I really love what you do. #inspired
The YT supplied transcript does not give what you say accurately. Is there anyway to get a list of the plants you talk about from a web site with notation of what episode it was from? Oops not to mind me. I took screenshots of your inserted plant names. That is good enough.
Oh I laughed seeing “stumpery garden”- here there is a very small enclosed garden patch where a huge tree was removed, leaving a big stump…I always referred to it as “ the stump garden “. Deer also hate Alliums. Ooh that moss on those stumps, glorious. What a huge, thick Solomon Seal, never saw one so lush. I’m amazed you can get the shovel into that nice soil so easily, no roots or rocks to hassle with, I’m envious…are Rhodendrums, Dogwoods or Mountain Laurel in the woods there? Do you ever plant any Pine or Juniper? Was fun watching you both planplant those areas, someday I’d love to visit with a map highlighting what has been planted…! 🤗🌳🌿
I think you have the seed for something amazing there.
You will find that basically all wood looks ✨. When the decay process is a BENEFIT all wood suddenly becomes useful! Im sure Sander has to constantly discard pieces - when building stuff - as soon as they show signs of decay 🤔. But what decay is ugly, really? Burned wood looks amazing, loss looks amazing, any and all signs of life create a patina. So... Ypu guys have a huge piece of land and should have tons and tons of beautiful wood laying around. That little garden right outside the house could be a really interesting place to put some wood 🤔 if you take on a permaculture mindset you will find that you can use the wood to create microclimates - for example spots where certain plants do better. Even food plants that suffer in the heat might work on the north side of the wood. Wood can be an amazing resource får snbuals as well. Try creating garden beds with rotting wood. Will they last forever? No, but how difficult is moving small logs with your equipment..? They look stunning AND they hold moisture. When they break down youve got the foundation for a hugel bed.
From an aesthetic perspective I think the most mindblowing aspect is having long pieces of wood that you "erect". It's a Japanese technique and looks amazing. It adds a height dimension and just looks cool as hell. That could easily be converted into an Arbor also 👍 but then you would definitely want some sturdy pieces. Actually, it would even work to buy wooden stakes that you burn - at both ends - to create beauty, at the top end, and to make it last for longer in the ground. Im sure you could burn it all the way.
Random thoughts of the day haha. But you will be amazed at how interesting wood is in a garden. Wood + rocks and youve got yourself all the John Bauer-vibes you can handle... ✨
Stumpery? Now you're just making up words, Summer 🤣
Stumperies originated in Victorian times. They used many ferns with tree stumps and other woodland plants. King Charles created a glorious one in his garden.
@@sylviajosh5684 thanks for the facts. It was mostly a joke because I knew the suffix ery was added and its origins. Family Guy has a joke about involving an owlery 🤣 cracks me up every time.
@@sylviajosh5684 good to know natural forests are just big stumperies
how many native bush honeysuckle do you grow? You could add Lonicera canadensis
Have you made a video on how to properly tackle the multifora rose/Honeysuckle? I have a yard that is currently invested (along with invasive bittersweet) and its been quite the task trying to tame it. Especially the bittersweet! I've found that targeted glyphosate application has helped the most but I'm wondering if there are other effective techniques I could have under my belt.
Is hellebore not native? I only have one and the deer hasn't found it or don't eat it?
The woodchips will be releasing nitrogen as they break down - so it all works out in the end.
Lily of the valley is a terrible invasive. It is aggressive and almost impossible to get rid of.
