      No such thing in a society built on consumerism, instant gratification, competition, and so on. But I do agree, I dream for a world worked upon such views. Sadly, we’re just taught to get up and go to work to make the world go round. I belive we can change it but it has to be a mass collective conscious movement , and yeah become self sufficient and live peacefully, not having to worry about clocking in or clocking out as that’s just the average. Sure some people escape it. But is that really allowed? Do we really have the free will to do that? Or is it all just an illusion?

    I live in the same area, Phoenix Metro, and have the same thing going in my 9,000sq ft suburban property. We squeezed about 30 fruit trees in a few years ago including mango, stone fruit, papaya, moringa, and citrus. It’s so fun, beautiful, and delicious. Our water bill is about $50 more per month than when we had zero trees or landscaping at all, just rock. All with HOA approval, amazingly enough. I can’t wait to see my property in 5, 10, and especially 20 years. It’s going to be epic.

    • @hanaluong2672
      @hanaluong2672 Год назад +1

      "water bill is about $50 more per month" I can believe it, based on my own water bills. The water company charges a high surcharge, regardless of how much we use. Then, they charge us on how much we actually use, which is not much, about $20-$30 per month (without outdoor watering). Anyway, congratulation on your 30 fruit trees. I am getting there, even though our property is only 7,000+ sq ft. Also, I am adding a vegetable bed in the future as well.

I started lemon trees from seed from a thin skin lemon bought at a shop.. I found a white mulberry tree and took 2 cutting this year, rooting in water at the moment. In my front yard I dug a small swale to catch water and put it in the ground. This is now year 2.

The front and back yards are only 200-300 square metres but I'm hoping to squish in apples, bananas, raspberries, macadamias, grapes, moringa, avocados and their lower storey guilds.

    • @Lochness19
      @Lochness19 Год назад

      It's a good strategy for hot climates like Arizona, but I wouldn't necessarily do it in the northern US or here in Canada. In hot climates, the surface of the soil is often hotter than ideal for tomatoes, but deeper down it's cooler, so planting the tomatoes deep allows them to access that cool soil sooner.
      But in cool climates like mine, the soil deep down is often cooler than ideal, so it's better not to plant them too deep since the shallower soil is closer to the ideal temperature for tomatoes.
      Ideal soil temp for tomatoes is about 65-85F. Here near Toronto, it starts at about 60-65F at planting time, and goes up to about 80-85F in July, but deeper down might be 5-10F cooler (so maybe 55F at planting time, 75F mid-summer). Therefore, shallow is better.
      In Phoenix, soil temperatures can be like 110F in mid-summer... Way hot and therefore beneficial to plant into deeper cool soil. Even with mulch and shade like in this guy's yard, the soil will still be warmer than ideal for tomatoes so you still want to plant them deep.

      The suburbs around here have quite a lot of birds because people have bird baths, bird feeders, and trees and bushes to eat from. Forests outside the city seem to have a bit less birds. So urbanization doesn't have to mean no birds, you just need to plant things that will produce fruits, seeds and attract insects for the birds to eat, plus some water to drink/bathe and places to nest.

      You might initially have an explosion of slugs, but then, you probably will attract the things that like to eat slugs, things that can get on the land that can’t or won’t get on a balcony. Plus there are certain nematodes that target them in the soil, also bringing things into balance. I’m sure things will work out well for you x

    Never understood that "in season" thing. If we've advanced enough to grow a fruit or vegetable all year round, why is that bad?

    secret garden in the middle of the city. The tree grows very well.
