Very Impressive Plum Production. I have several fruit trees (20) Varieties include Apple, Pear, Plum and Cherry. I've never used anything on them except compost and manure. I'm very excited about the success you've had with the Weekly Feed and I plan to follow suite exactly this year. How often are you watering this plum tree?
Lance D After using the Magic Mineral Mix recipe from your other videos over the last 3-4 months - I can tell you the difference is absolutely amazing. Fruit production this year was off the charts. I can tell you I'll be using this stuff every year moving forward and I've recommended it to all of my friends and family. Thanks so much for posting.
if you want larger healthier plums. i suggest thinning the fruit to about a hands distance from eachother. this will prevent crowding as well as help the tree send nourishment to a smaller yeild which will then help growth. nice tree though, just giving you a thought.
yea i have really noticed a difference in the taste in our veggies once i started adding more minerals to the garden. Have you tried to poke 12" holes around the drip line of your fruit trees and feed them via those holes? Its good to do a good deep root feeding. it also helps loosen the soil and allow more water to get down deeper in the dirt.

Just ordered the course and some of the nutrient packs! Can't wait to see the how they do. Our Tomatoes and trees are suffering this year here in the California valley due to lack of rain, which leads to an extreme lack of nutrients. I am really excited to try this and to learn more. Thank you for sharing :) Blessings~ Amanda
A very wise decision. I recommend watering every day, even if it is only a little so the plants can get the water soluble nutrients in the Mittleider mix.
You should graft your tree with other varieties, even adding peach, apricot, cherry, etc; so you don't have this many plums and harvest other fruits along the same tree. That tree is huge!
I just planted 2 plum trees and 2 grapefruit according to your bare root planting video. i used osmocote which I have used for 30 years. I even took a deep breath and pruned them back. When should I begin using my Mittleider fertilizer? Thanks and love your videos. Also, do you think if you fertilized a little less often you may get fewer but larger plums?
I love the size of these plums because you can pop one in your mouth and it fills your mouth. I found it important to do that. If you bite it it squirts juice all over. I don't think I would want them any larger. I would apply the Mittleider weekly feed and preplant fertilizer at planting time then every 3-4 months afterwards. See my video "How to fertilize fruit trees" for more info.
nice; i thought you were going to suggest pruning though. your tree looks AMAZING. My plums sucked this year; could have been a late frost hitting blooms; but I think it needs bit of minerals and pruned.
Oh crap! I keep forgetting to fertilize and am behind. I'd like you to talk about brown rot (on my apricots) and powdery mildew.( on my grape vine). The leaves on the apricot tree get white mold or mildew on them mid-season. It also has sap balls that come from it on certain branches. The poor tree seems sick. My grapevine gets fungi growing from the trunk, which I know isn't a good sign. This is yr two and it is still producing a lot of grapes. I let the canes grow long and plentiful (thinning the leaves for air flow) because the grapes are so delicious I am greedy and want more ;-).
Hi David, Thank you very much for your amazing videos. I accidentally stubbled upon one previous year, and since then I am using the method and seeing amazing results. How do you protect your fruits from birds and squirrels? In my area the only thing I could save were persimmons, and that is because squirrels wouldn't it it.
I think I might actually get some peaches this year. We seem to have enough cats in the neighborhood now and I haven't seen a single squirrel this year. They have eaten all my peaches the last two years!
Thank you for all this information. I have a little 2 brm apartment, but I've been thinking about pulling all of whatever's in my big planter by now, and putting some herbs in there or maybe some green onions and a few kinds of lettuce or something. Man, not to have to eat breakfast because you can literally eat on the job?? You must have no trouble hitting the ground running! Lol ...oh, silly question probably, but you do only organic, right?
Minerals are important for our health and make produce taste much better. I appreciate this video for exposing this fact. At one point in our history, ashes (actually mineral content left from burning wood) was used extensively in agriculture. That is what kept our soil from becoming depleted. You don't have to spend money on expensive products to obtain these minerals. Just add wood ashes around your plants early in the season.
you should try thinning your fruit from each bunch to biggest one right when they set so that the tree diverts all the energy to that instead to all the plums, that way you get bigger better more sweeter plums,
Great video! What is the name of the blackberry and what time of plum tree is it? I want to plant blackberries, but want to get a type that will not overtake my whole yard.
how old is your plum tree? I have order plums from ebay, and it supposed to be 4 plants, but the seller send me 9 plum trees, and I dont think we can eat it all if we grow all of them at our backyard
Someone please help, last spring I inherted a plum tree. The plums were hugh and there was a whole lot of them. Problem was they didn't stay on the tree long enough to get ripe, every darn one of them fell off while green. Made a hugh mess. This is a big tree, what do I need to do? What could have caused this?
Love2boat92 Well a 40lb bag of trip 13 cost $20-30. I would not say it costs pennies. I don't fertilizer like he does but the stuff i mixed up will last me about 2 years i think. My mix cost about $60-80 (I dont make the Mittlieder mix by the book though)
I live in northern Utah where the soil is very alkakine. When looking at your formula, I see a lot of lime or gypsum. Will using that amount of one or the other be a problem in my already alkaline soil?
Thank you for asking. I found all my plants in the BTE method were puny and produced little or no fruit because they were starved for nutrients. I find my plants in the Mittleider method huge, healthy, and producing amazing amounts of wonderful fruit. I'm not married to any gardening method. But I have found that the Mittleider method produces the best tasting and most abundant produce with the least amount of work and cost. I encourage you to look into it at MittleiderGardening.com.
LDSPrepper Is there a way to make your own fertilizer that Mittleeider has patent? Also, have you heard a method called "Sonic Bloom" by Dan Carlson who is the inventor of the Sonic Bloom system? Your thoughts, if so? In your opinion is the Back To Eden still worth it to reduce watering and incorporating the Mittleider method?
Mario Greco For everyone's benefit Jacob Mittleider did not patent the nutrient mix. It is no secret. The recipe for you to mix yourself is in the Mittleider Gardening Course book. Please do NOT mix the Mittleider method with any other method. If you do you are not using the Mittleider method. If you change the recipe don't expect to get the same results.
Mario Greco He tried the BTE method and it did not work for him. He has videos where he shows his results. If you have been doing BTE for a while you can see where he fell short in the method. As far as incorporating both, You can install a drip system like he has to make sure you are getting enough water. Also, you can add a fertilizer at regular intervals, but if you are with the BTE philosophy, it would have to be from a sustainable resource like your own compost and animal manure. Like LDSPrepper said mixing methods isn't really possible. the results will be dependent on your area and what you have to work with. BTE does take time if you are starting with dead soil. Mittleider will give you consistent results from the beginning it seems. I have been to Paul's garden and although there is some work involved, he has a complete and sustainable system that works where he is. I have figured out that I don't have chickens or another "soil factory" so I have to settle for buying fertilizer until that changes. Do what you can do
jportale I have seen photos of beautiful, lush Mittleider gardens in the deserts in the four corners area. I know it can work in the Sonoran desert, no problem.
LDSPrepper I agree. especially the watering tips. the watering system tips in the book could be the most valuable part in the book for folks in tight water restrictions.
You can get it pretty much anywhere, depending on which state you live in. I find the best prices in feed stores. But I have seen it at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, IFA, Cal Ranch, etc.
Your big box store has 16-16-16? that's cool the best I have found is 13-13-13. If you are lucky you can even find a fertilizer mix that also has some trace minerals too. 2 for one type of deal.
I unfortunately agree. I am not sure why David needs to sell it so hard in most of the videos these days. I was watching some of his older videos "pre-mittlieder" and he really seemed a bit different. But i do still enjoy watching the videos as there is still good information to use for ideas.
Great comment. Thank you. I understand how I can sound like a broken record. I apologize to my long time, faithful subscribers. I get about 3,000 new subscribers each month. I'm guessing most have never heard of the Mittleider gardening method. I am doing my best to help people become prepared or even saving lives. I feel it very important to have the skills to grow your own food. As you know I have tried many gardening methods all with some success. But hands down the Mittleider gardening method out produces all the others. I am compelled to share it so others can benefit. I appreciate your understanding. I hope with each video there are nuggets of information that my long time subscribers can use.
It may out produce for you but I still find growing using leaves and moo poo works best for me. It is the way mother nature intended us to grow. I have dark rich soil loaded with worms. I use no made made chemicals and have great success every year. I challenge you to garden with what mother nature provides. Heck I will even furnish the seeds. I think the biggest problem I have is when you say stuff about the Mittleider you make it sound like if we don't use it we won't have success, kinda like my way or the highway so to speak. I feel you are misleading people. Especially new gardeners. I live my life to help others and try and get everyone to enjoy the love I have for gardening. I have been at it some 30 years now. Go outside the box and look back in and maybe you will see what I see. I try not to judge anyone for the way they garden, I am happy they are just gardening. But then again I don't push my style on anyone i just try to show my results and they can choose. I hope you have a Blessed Day. ~ Bubba J
LDSPrepper hey you dont have to brag about all those subs each month lol my humble 30+ subs aint nothing. But i wish you would be more yourself before mittlieder. Idk if you go back and watch your older vids but they just were differen and real. My wife jokes around and says chaaching every time you say mittleider saying you get a cut every time u mention it. To me your approach to promoting your way of gardening is getting a bit fake. Sorry I was looking for a better word. Its just not genuine and sort of infomercial like. I like you and mittleider method. Oh and I need to get out to your garden again and check it out. It was a pleasure visiting you last year. Thanks for sharing.
Do you know what kind of plum and blackberry plants you planted? I read the comments below and that question has come up a few times but I didn't notice an answer.
One of my peach trees has gummosis, and I'm SO upset. It's my biggest producer, so I think I'll mourn my loss. Going to wait to cut it down until I harvest the peaches from it. :(
the secret to improve all plant quality and growth is magnesium. Take a small handfull of your favourite bath salts - yep that's right ! EPSOM SALTS - add it to 5 litres (or 1 1/2 gallons) of water then water the soil around the trunk - or stem. Do Not water the plant - don't pour it onto the stem or trunk. it will take a bout a month but you'll never see anything as amazing as the quality and health of those plants - doesn't matter what plants - fruit trees definitely - but almost any plant will brighten up with the glow of magnesium.
When you have a tree that is loaded with blossoms, then sets a huge amount of fruit, you are SUPPOSED to remove many of the green ones so that you don't stress the tree, and so that the fruit remaining on the tree is larger and fuller. It does not appear that was done in this video. People who go to markets are extremely picky. If they see a fruit that is smaller than they perceive it should be, they won't buy it. By removing the overload of green fruit, you assure yourself of having a reasonable crop next year. Many fruit trees have a rest period after one year of a heavy crop.
And one more thing, since the Big Agra-business took over of farming America, they don't do the due diligence of preparing the soil for planting, maybe some high-powered Miracle Grow chemical but it's not nature, trace elements & minerals are and we see that with weaker harvests, the vegetables are not as nutritious in years past. Every single trace element & mineral should be found in the ground, & except for the three in the air, where else are you going to find them? Adding trace elements & mineral is good for the body & the immunity.
Your fruit could be bigger and better if you opened up your tree more and tipped your fruiting wood, you wouldn't need to thin so much fruit off either that way.
Like the old saying goes you can a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Proof is in every video LDS Prepper has put up. I have tried every which way to have a garden & have FAILED miserably, I have the "Black Thumb" for a reason, if it grows in my yard, I kill it. I have put up flowers in my front yard and in no time at all, DEAD! This system give me hope that if LDS Prepper can do it, so can I, and if anyone can see from the videos then you're just a horse that won't drink.
That's a fantastic thing you did with your nephew inspiring him to try and love new food !
Hard to argue with success. That's some fruitful plum tree.
That's awesome. The Plum and the Nectarine are two fruit trees that do well in Ohio. Maybe I need a couple!
Thank you for sharing all that you know with the rest of us, you are helping to feed so many others. Thank you.

Oooh, those plums look SO delicious!!
Would you please do a vid on collecting and store seeds.
Mouthfuls of JOY! I love it.

what are you feeding with? when do you feed them? what type of soil?
Hi David, Thank you very much for your amazing videos. I accidentally stubbled upon one previous year, and since then I am using the method and seeing amazing results. How do you protect your fruits from birds and squirrels? In my area the only thing I could save were persimmons, and that is because squirrels wouldn't it it.
wow , this is the first time that I've seen a plum of that type, the plums that grow in Trinidad are much different
I've been using Mittleider for the past 2 years and no improvement in fruit yield from my two 5yr old Santa Rosa Plum trees.
I think I might actually get some peaches this year. We seem to have enough cats in the neighborhood now and I haven't seen a single squirrel this year. They have eaten all my peaches the last two years!
looks like that tree needs MAJOR thinning. but looks really healthy. nice tree.
You my dear are very lucky! I wish I had your plum tree!!!
thank you for the tip. I will let you know what my results will be. unfortunately I will have to wait until next season to begin. or do I?
Thank you for all this information. I have a little 2 brm apartment, but I've been thinking about pulling all of whatever's in my big planter by now, and putting some herbs in there or maybe some green onions and a few kinds of lettuce or something.

Thank you for this fantastic information!
Great video! What is the name of the blackberry and what time of plum tree is it? I want to plant blackberries, but want to get a type that will not overtake my whole yard.
I would like to know more about the moringa seeds for purifying water.
How do you calculate the amount to feed each tree? Trunk diameter? Curious to lean more.
my plums did well today in Canyon Lake Texas
Thanks David!
That is awesome.
I'm getting one of those.
We had about 20 plum trees in the front yard when I was growing up.
Buster Brown. Holy smokes. What did you do with all those plums?
How old is your plum tree? It's a beautiful harvest...
I think it is 5 years old.
Will this fertilizer help young lemon trees?
how old is your plum tree? I have order plums from ebay, and it supposed to be 4 plants, but the seller send me 9 plum trees, and I dont think we can eat it all if we grow all of them at our backyard
Thank you very very much.
cant wait to get a yard for this very reason!
do you think this plum tree can grow in tropical countries?
Do you do thinning? Those plums will grow huge.
i would like to know if the borax you use to kill roaches is the same borax you use for your trees??
Why do you call the mix a “weekly feed” if you only apply once a month?
wow they look so delicious and sweet..
Beautiful! What is the variety of plum tree?
Methley Plum
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing, do you know what type of plum tree that is?
Methley Plum
Nice stuff bruv
"Between the birds and me" 🤣🤣
When you say once a month during the fruit production period does that mean at the first sign of fruit formation?
What's in your Magic Mineral mix?. I would appreciated the information please
What kind of plum tree is it in the video here, please tell.
marie smith its gotta be a metheley or and santa rosa either way I'd plant both for pollination anyways.
Those plums are seriously *tiny*! I don't do anything but prune my plum trees and their fruits are absolutely HUGE.
Someone please help, last spring I inherted a plum tree. The plums were hugh and there was a whole lot of them. Problem was they didn't stay on the tree long enough to get ripe, every darn one of them fell off while green. Made a hugh mess. This is a big tree, what do I need to do? What could have caused this?
how I wish I could be there to harvest your fruits too hehehehe
Doesn't it get expensive having to feed all of your plants every so often?
It cost pennies.
Really? How do you get everything for next to nothing?
Love2boat92 Well a 40lb bag of trip 13 cost $20-30. I would not say it costs pennies. I don't fertilizer like he does but the stuff i mixed up will last me about 2 years i think. My mix cost about $60-80 (I dont make the Mittlieder mix by the book though)
RLSgardener 2 years for 60-80 isn't that bad. Even I could afford that. lol.
Love2boat92 but its not organic, your not helping the planet at all
I live in northern Utah where the soil is very alkakine. When looking at your formula, I see a lot of lime or gypsum. Will using that amount of one or the other be a problem in my already alkaline soil?
Linda Barnes The gypsum is great for alkaline soil. That is what we used in Southern CA where we have the same problem.
Linda Barnes Peat moss/ coco husk and compost mixed a little heavy with existing soil just did a wide hole and put the mix in when planting!
Gypsum for areas with less than 20 inches of rain/year. For Utah, it's only gypsum. Doesn't matter if it's powdered or pellet.
How do you find the difference between Mittleider gardening and the Back to Eden method you have done? Or do you incorporate both?
Thank you for asking. I found all my plants in the BTE method were puny and produced little or no fruit because they were starved for nutrients. I find my plants in the Mittleider method huge, healthy, and producing amazing amounts of wonderful fruit. I'm not married to any gardening method.

wow lots of fruit
What strain is the plum tree? Would you be willing to share some of the seeds?
Methley Plum Tree. If you are interested in growing one I recommend getting a tree from Dave Wilson nursery distributor. That is where I got mine.
LDSPrepper Do you know if it was a dwarf variety or standard?
I watch these videos and want to adapt the techniques to my area (Sonoran Desert). David where are you located?
SE Texas Houston area
RLSgardener
Thanks

LDSPrepper I agree. especially the watering tips. the watering system tips in the book could be the most valuable part in the book for folks in tight water restrictions.
Those plums look so good and I don't even like plums
Bucky Barnes, is that you
Where do you get the 16-16-16 fertilizer and what type is it (Water Soluble or regular)?
I believe it is granular. 16-16-16 is not easy to find. Try feed stores
You can get it pretty much anywhere, depending on which state you live in. I find the best prices in feed stores. But I have seen it at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, IFA, Cal Ranch, etc.
Your big box store has 16-16-16? that's cool the best I have found is 13-13-13.
If you are lucky you can even find a fertilizer mix that also has some trace minerals too. 2 for one type of deal.
What do you do to protect from the plum curculio?
I had to look up plum curculio because I didn't know what it was. I haven't seen them here so I haven't done anything to protect from them.
You lucky i'm not your neighbor -- i could make you all the Plum Wine youi liked..:)
I use to so enjoy your videos. But now it's nothing more than a commercial.
I unfortunately agree. I am not sure why David needs to sell it so hard in most of the videos these days. I was watching some of his older videos "pre-mittlieder" and he really seemed a bit different.
But i do still enjoy watching the videos as there is still good information to use for ideas.
Not most, here lately all. I also watch the old ones.

What kind of plum trees are they?
Tom Knezovic looks like a Japanese hybrid
ok but where do you live? im betting in the South or west coast
Can I grow it in Jacksonville , Florida ?
How can tell when to pick plum ( obvious the color purple), is when it is gets too light, now they are hard?
lisa jenkins I typically pick one or two and taste them. When they are ripe they are sweet and not firm.
thank you
+LDSPrepper is that a sherbet tree ? Im looking for more information abut this tree
i like this fruit
Do you know what kind of plum and blackberry plants you planted? I read the comments below and that question has come up a few times but I didn't notice an answer.
Nice!
One of my peach trees has gummosis, and I'm SO upset. It's my biggest producer, so I think I'll mourn my loss. Going to wait to cut it down until I harvest the peaches from it. :(
sooo ... you told your nephew that was resisting to pop your plums in his mouth and didnt stop until he did it ?? lol
What area do you live in?
what kind of plum is that?
※※※David,thank you※※※
the secret to improve all plant quality and growth is magnesium. Take a small handfull of your favourite bath salts - yep that's right ! EPSOM SALTS - add it to 5 litres (or 1 1/2 gallons) of water then water the soil around the trunk - or stem. Do Not water the plant - don't pour it onto the stem or trunk. it will take a bout a month but you'll never see anything as amazing as the quality and health of those plants - doesn't matter what plants - fruit trees definitely - but almost any plant will brighten up with the glow of magnesium.
Tiny plums~
What type is that??
When you have a tree that is loaded with blossoms, then sets a huge amount of fruit, you are SUPPOSED to remove many of the green ones so that you don't stress the tree, and so that the fruit remaining on the tree is larger and fuller. It does not appear that was done in this video. People who go to markets are extremely picky. If they see a fruit that is smaller than they perceive it should be, they won't buy it. By removing the overload of green fruit, you assure yourself of having a reasonable crop next year. Many fruit trees have a rest period after one year of a heavy crop.

What variety tree is this?

I see there are standard and dwarf varieties. Which is yours?
Lava soil in Italy did this.
And one more thing, since the Big Agra-business took over of farming America, they don't do the due diligence of preparing the soil for planting, maybe some high-powered Miracle Grow chemical but it's not nature, trace elements & minerals are and we see that with weaker harvests, the vegetables are not as nutritious in years past. Every single trace element & mineral should be found in the ground, & except for the three in the air, where else are you going to find them? Adding trace elements & mineral is good for the body & the immunity.
what kind of plum tree
isn't there stone in middle of plum
Your fruit could be bigger and better if you opened up your tree more and tipped your fruiting wood, you wouldn't need to thin so much fruit off either that way.
Jared Hempfield, when you say "tip your fruiting wood" are you talking about heading back new growth? If yes, what time of year are you doing this?
Like the old saying goes you can a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Proof is in every video LDS Prepper has put up. I have tried every which way to have a garden & have FAILED miserably, I have the "Black Thumb" for a reason, if it grows in my yard, I kill it. I have put up flowers in my front yard and in no time at all, DEAD! This system give me hope that if LDS Prepper can do it, so can I, and if anyone can see from the videos then you're just a horse that won't drink.
its really go
