Love the video. And as a horticulturist for 25yrs, the best thing I can suggest is ensure you have active Trace elements in your soil before plants start fruiting. Cuttle fish shell, ground up is the best and most purified form of Calcium. Any citrus or stone fruit would highly benefit from this. Hope this helps
For pests - neem oil, dawn dish soap and essential oils ( lemon, orange, jalapeno, cinnamon, lavender, etc on a rotation ). Additionally, some pests just spray off w water. Additionally, in the states we use lady bugs or beneficial nematodes. Hope this helped.
AZ you are amazing my friend. You have incredible knowledge of, and passion for, your plants and trees. I can only imagine the work that goes into maintaining such an incredible farm nursery. This is such a contrast from seeing you out on the reef fishing and spearing, and I believe it brings a good balance to your life of sea and land. I appreciate the content and look forward to future updates. Good luck in all your endeavors.
When the bananas are first flowering if you put a star picket in the ground on the opposite side of the banana bunch and tie back the tree so the weight is supported they will grow a bigger bunch
Azz I can't believe how far the homestead has come along if been following from the beginning. I think it amazing to see what you have planted and now have turns into tree's and all the fresh produce. I live in a concrete jungle so it's the local supermarket for me lol. Thanks for sharing what you have done. All the best BRO
Subscribe to all 3 of B2B channels, but Absolutely LOVE these walking tours w/ explanations!!! So cool, many fruit/plant varieties we don’t get here in Canada! Love y’all, please keep em coming ❤️🇨🇦
Looking great Az! I was just looking at my fb memories from 5 years ago when we stayed with mates there. You've turned it into such a great minifarm! Well done
just moved to townsville. want to support local/semi local growers. this is awesome!! shall be watching as all vids as we've also inherited a range of fruit trees from an old gentleman we want to keep going lovingly. love your channel and all the related ones xx
Gday mate I'm on a farm in bilyana we farm organics and a trick I use to get rid of Beatles on fruit trees and other pest is a liquid diatomaceous earth works great and is relatively cost effective and great for the plants, great videos mate cheers 👍
Doing a fantastic job. I’ve been subscribed for a long time. Very inspiring videos mate. I’m from gympie Queensland and doing quite a few different gardening techniques to adjust to the some times harsh climate conditions. Water harvesting is the key to my new techniques.
Hi mate, I worked at Skybury on the tablelands for 8 years. They have coffee and sweet red papaya. The papayas are amazing and they're forever experimenting to try make them even better. Not too far away you should have a visit! Great coffee centre on the farm. They were also growing other things in smaller numbers, perhaps they'd be keen to do some trading and take you a spin around the farm.
Great new show and well done I noticed that alot of trees in gardens almost touch each other my landscape design teacher and horticultural teacher keep trees like your hair short and easy to manage not to tall and the biggest is air flow air flow air flow keeps bugs and mould and fungus down good luck will be up soon you guys are inspirational T.
Have you considered planting rows and rows of pawpaws - quick growing canopy cover to creates micro climate for supporting understory shade loving plants?
How to protect from wind for your mango's: create micro climates by planting living fences to reduce wind. Can't over emphasise enough - create micro climates with fast growing canopy trees (pawpaws are best) for shade, and plant living fences to reduce wind.
Jack fruits...Spray Carbaryl (0.2%) or quinalphos (0.05%) or monocroptophos (0.04%) at fortnightly intervals from the commencement of new flush for controlling shoot, trunk and stem borer. A total of 2-3 sprays may be done depending on the intensity of infestation.
I’m so inspired by your adventures and your incredible home.. we live in the Gold Coast and spend most of our time on the family farm in Stanthorpe.. the more I mature the more I can see the appeal of the off grid lifestyle.. we have 300 acres and 2 beautiful cabins called Earth & Soul Retreat.. we’d love to have you and your family come stay some time :)
Very inspirational work. Looking at the way you like to do gardening and orchards, I highly highly highly recommend looking into syntropic agroforestry. It is a very efficient system that feeds itself, meaning you very rarely need external inputs like mulch or fertiliser or even water. Love the goats XD.
@@b2bhomesteading Yes actually. There's an online platform/educational club called The Syntropic Workshop. It's basically a knowledge hub with like-minded people all sharing their experiences. The guy leading the way is actually an Aussie as well in Brisbane area if I recall. Unfortunately the true giants are all in Brazil and since covid they stopped travelling due to the difficulties and their experiences stayed with them. Information in English is hard to come by but there's also 2 videos I recommend: The Foundation of Syntropic Agroforestry - PermaDynamics Food Forest Black Belts in Brazil/Syntropic Agroforestry - Byron Grows This is the best information I can think of.
You can be self-sufficient on next to nothing. I'm pretty sure the life goals of the Back 2 Business crew are to be rich and famous, buy property and expensive toys, and grow their brand into an online 'lifestyle empire'...

hi Az, recently i saw you in another youtubers footage while they were in the solomon islands, Ollie Craig Primal Pursuit. did you film anything to show us while you were there?
I was probably wrong... chat gtp just told me : "In Australia, "pawpaw" sometimes refers to red-fleshed papayas, while "papaya" refers to the yellow-fleshed variety."
Love your lifestyle!! I was a bit worried when I started watching your clip that you harvest your animals like Self Sufficient Me!! Sorry but I can't support watching SSM for that reason alone!! Looks like you treat your animals like family from what I can see!! So I'm happy too support that!! Cheers from Adelaide!!
Just curious, what's the idea behind growing durians instead of other more desirable fruits? Alot of people turn their nose up at durians because of the smell. Just curious.
I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Hello... where are you from? I see you place same in the Asia, very much animal, fruit, banana, enjoy with you video, my name is Yuni from Indonesian 😊
@b2bhomesteading I would like to send seed to the Appalachian pawpaw it's like a cross of banana and mango or pineapple in flavor ,and grows similar to mango in growth pattern how can 😂I do so ..?
I love nature , but at 60 now i can barely do the work i usex to do . I'm like 90 pds . So it's not a weight thing . Just know as you get older this work will be incredibly hard .
@b2bhomesteading your age ? My arms are strong . My chicken legs are not . My butt is just a line like Mom and Dad . That's where I hurt bad . Just filing in cracks in my driveway from roofers doing my roof with there extremely heavy trucks making my driveway a mess . Yes I'm pissed

Can you guys use a spray of garlic and oil for a bug repellent, obviously ina large quantity and spray on your plants especially the edible plants
The toasties go hard
What is a jack fruit? Enjoying your video!
hi Az, recently i saw you in another youtubers footage while they were in the solomon islands, Ollie Craig Primal Pursuit. did you film anything to show us while you were there?
That was great. More like this please. When you say pawpaw it's a papaya?
I was probably wrong... chat gtp just told me : "In Australia, "pawpaw" sometimes refers to red-fleshed papayas, while "papaya" refers to the yellow-fleshed variety."
Hi azz where the coca plant did it take? U havent spoke about that plant since u started

- Awe, you do everything don't you? Is it hard when you're traveling?
What's the name of the beetle attacking your Jackfruits? Have you tried Horticultural Oil or Neem?
How did yous plant your fruit trees to be so successful
Just curious, what's the idea behind growing durians instead of other more desirable fruits? Alot of people turn their nose up at durians because of the smell. Just curious.
I love watching these. I wish they were less rare.
what different countries have you had people visit from ?
i want to know what is the Minimum and Maximum temperature at this place during summers and winters . I will wait for your reply.
Are you in The Northern Rivers area ??? 👍🐨🇦🇺
