      I came here from a Google link on how to get the peach seed out of the peach pit and now I'm wondering on the necessity of watching the whole video to support content creators because of the algorithm of how they get paid from RUclips

      Google owns RUclips so it's natural for a RUclips video to pop up when you're searching for something sometimes, especially when it's a very niche topic. You do not have to watch the video. You do not have to support, but please keep in mind, A LOT of the other links you have to choose from when using Google search are getting paid one way or another from your visit. If this video helped, great! If not, I hope you find a resource that does. I'm not sure what else you want me to tell you, Dominu.

    New sub here. Great video! Very clear and informative. I have been growing peach trees from seed (not in pit) for 4 years and have beautiful peach trees. One tree produced a peach in 2023, and it was Devine. I just cracked open 34 pits today. I do it outside on a brick pile with a chisel and hammer opening the pits on slit.

    'Don't hit the pit while holding in hands' She said it just for me 😅
    Well I've found another way to open pits and requires even less efforts:
    1) soak pit in water for 12-24 hours.
    2) On thick side where you hammered, do light cut with cutting blade.
    3) put screw diver and rotate it. It will open easily.

    For cherry pits I use diagonal head snips and nip it at the flesh lip. And dry it for at least a week so the seed inside shrinks away from the shell. You could possibly use the same method for peach pits. Ps use a face shield when doing cheery pits they often send chunks flying everywhere.

  • @seriously8522
    @seriously8522 Год назад +4

    FYI, If anyone has those same green, long nosed pliers, the little round/circular hole on one side is the perfect tool for breaking cherry pits open. Just drop the seed in and close the pliers. A few trials will show you how to orient the seed in the opening. The hole is just a little smaller than the pit so it cracks open. You may need something pointy to push the seed out from the back of the pliers because sometimes the shells are still sticky. Then you can germinate those seeds too.
