Lavender is great. Hard to kill, doesn’t ask for much and really attracts the bumble bees.

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

Totally agree. Not to mention smells good

[@brettwhite5906]

White willow was used to make asprin. I am using willow trees to improve my clay soil in my garden

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

I do the same thing the over growth of the willow makes good mulch

Enjoyable video Curtis, love all the plants you featured! I like Rosemary too, fragrant & useful. Carry on 😊

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

Thank you. Rosemary and tyme and basil and many more is for a different video

I've never had luck with lavender, but the other three are all part of my landscape... Keep willow at least 100 feet (30 meters) away from septic systems and pipes as their roots can travel far far beyond their drip edges.
IF people are planning more plantings in the spring, NOW is a good time to lay out and prep the holes for tree transplants. This helps avoid the frustration of starting a hole only to find a giant rock. It also eases the springtime pains that come from planting.
Much love to all ❤️❤️

Oh yeah 😂, a vitamin B complex tablet dissolved in a gallon of water eases transplant shock and stimulates root growth 😉

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

I didn’t know that trick. Thanks. I’ll have to try that.

[@therealredmanrobert6826]

Very interesting my dude. I learn something from each one of your videos. Awesome job sir!

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

Thanks brother I’m glad

[@melodyscamman244]

Hey Curtis... Since it was over 40 years ago since i learned about vitamin B, I decided to recheck the data
Though I use B complex (still), the literature says B1 ... BUT most modern literature says it's a "myth"... that it doesn't work (??). I've used it for years, and if it doesn't work, well it certainly doesn't do any harm 😅
Much love 💕

You do you melody. 🙂

Remember that you can eat every part of a pine tree safely

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

all pine tree seeds are edible but not all pine tree parts. the seeds bark and needle can be eaten. lodgepole, norfolk, ponderosa and yew are quite toxic

Curious? I thought vinegar kills plant?

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

In small concentration it can be an effective mildew control.
