@hands2hearts-seeds2feedamu83 they can have either color depending on the variety, but the kind with yellow flowers is the most common kind. They do taste good and are useful in the garden, but they definitely don't fix nitrogen, as she suggests in the video
I love all your content, especially as I’m looking to further develop my guilds this year! QUESTION: what is the little jar/container hanging on your tree? Thanks Angela!
Hi! Thanks for watching! 🥰 That’s an apple maggot trap. It’s just 1/2 and 1/2 molasses and water. I hang it at bud break through the end of the harvesting season, adding more as needed. 🤗
I'm gradually starting to grow food for my livestock. I've got an area where I might get 2 or 3 regular fruit trees, but can get multiple Cordon style trees 2 to 3 feet apart. Would you still put a guild right around the trees or spread them out throughout the trees? I will be planting dwarf trees near the back and doing exactly what your doing, but with plants native to tge Kootenays in S.E. British Columbia
I have a question? I planted two Apple trees last Fall. Mid Summer one of the trees leaves started to curl and turn brown and some of them had little pin holes in them. The shop I bought them from said to use BT spray. I had asked specifically for something Organic. i bought the BT spray , but when I got it I read the back and didn't want to use it. Can you give me some recommendations? I plan on putting a Guild around it. Thank you.
Hi! That’s a good question! Little holes are often caused by caterpillars or worms eating the foliage. The brown and curling leaves could certainly be a result of that, or of a type of blight. You might reach out to your county extension office as location and environmental factors are important when diagnosing these things. As for BT, I wouldn’t spray it either. Guilds, cleaning up fallen fruit, apple maggot and coddling moth traps, attracting birds, and foliar sprays to build up the tree’s immune system are all worth the effort, in my opinion. Check out The Holistic Orchard by Michael Phillips. It’s my favorite.
Thank you for sharing your homestead!
Thank you for watching! 🖤
Thank you. This is so amazing. I’m in Southern NJ and I’m new to fruit trees. ❤
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Good tips, although the plant at 2:41 looks to be wood sorrel and not clover
Is that the yellow flower, or the one with purple flowers ??? I eat both. So good in salads 🥗 😍

Hi! It’s clover! Bought the seeds and sowed in the yard myself then transplanted. 😊
It does look like greasy greens instead of clover!
@@AxeAndRootHomestead I think it's possible you dug up some wood sorrel by accident. You can tell by the shape of the leaves
Very helpful! Where did you source your Russian comfrey?
Hi! I love Growers Exchange!
"The soil is shit" 😅
🤣🤣
I cracked up😂😂😂

@@AxeAndRootHomestead thank you very much! I will look into these things:)
I have never put anything on my apple trees either. Never any significant issues.

You are awesome.
That’s nice. Thank you!
