- Sorry for the lack of videos for the passed week. i have been tree planing. i have 2500 to plant before the end of march so it is taking up most of my time at the moment. and it isnt the most exciting thing to film. but here is an update on how im getting on.
www.KrisHarbour.co.uk
I certainly hope you're still vloging in 10 years time because Im so eager to see those trees grow.
Well done🌱🐝
i hope so to.
10 years timelaps of treegrow please.
@@KrisHarbour Would be nice to see how your forest is looking after 2,5 years
For anyone looking at this one of his most recent videos does show the growth of the trees after about three years! It's titled "Garden/Land Update, And A Look At My Conservation Area". ruclips.net/video/M7OQhhzBd7Y/видео.html is the section of the video showing the most of the trees, but the whole video is great.
@@NameTaken123 Thank you so much, exactly the info I was looking for. :)
Well done! As an ex-commercial tree planter I just want to warn you about J-roots when you plant. This happens when the root goes deeper than the hole and bends or snags on the side of the hole and bends (forming a J shape). These can occur pretty easily if you're not paying attention and statistically halves the chance of the trees survival into maturity. Great job overall though!
Thanks for the advice, my friends dad who is a very experiences gardener told me how to plants them. making sure to plant to the correct depth and get the roots straight down in the hole. thanks for the comment, thats the kind of good information i love to see in the comments.
Obviously from his comment, Kris didn't need that bit of information. But I did! Thank you.
Kris Harbour hi. I tried to tell you that I’ve seen some of your earlier clips that someone has used their own logo on and put on their channel. These are earlier clips - I don’t know if this is of interest to you?
Yes could you send me the link?
You need a hoedad. So much easier and faster than using a shovel. I used to plant 3000+ a day. Planted over 1 million in my career. . (That was mostly Pine tree’s though). yours are a bit harder to plant. Quite a ambitious undertaking. Hope the animals don’t eat too many. In the south USA, the trees are harvested after 30 years for paper. So some of the trees I planted have already been cut. I’m feeling very old. ;-)
Avenue des Champs Élkrisées! :-)
I cleared a lot of pine trees out of my forest and the light/space created has seen some oaks come through naturally. At 42 I'll never see them grow much of course, but I like the idea of my grandchildren admiring them in about 70 odd years.
I have planted small oak trees found along the road side. They where like 20-30 cm when i took them up and planted them here and they are like more then 2 meter now in like 4-5 years. So i actually don't think oak grows as slowly as they say if circumstances are optimal they grow fast in the beginning.
Wonderful to see you planting trees, Kris, and all the thought that you've put into it. Every day you'll look at your land and marvel how fast time goes by, and how big the trees have grown. The land gives a sense of purpose that nothing else can match. As always, best wishes. -- Dave
Thanks dave, i think its going to be a very different bit of land in 10 years time. should be full of wildlife, cool buildings, and trees.
Yes, indeed. A dream....
agreed.
I hope you're still making videos then! Would love to see how they mature and what the land looks like then!
I think its awesome not only for your property but for the environment as well because trees help our atmosphere. I live on 4.5 acres and we try to plant 2 trees for every tree we cut down.
Inspirational to see future forests being sculpted like this. A true legacy for future generations.
Holy smokes!!! Oh my god that's a lot of work... Well done mate!
I was part of a three person team in the northwest to replace trees in logged off areas in the early part of the 1970's and between the three of us we planted a million seedling trees. I have been to a couple of these locations to see if our trees had grown and I was quite happy to see how they had grown. I also was informed that the trees we planted had a survival rate of 98% which was the best of all the teams that had planted the trees. If was not so old I would love to be able to get out and help plant more trees in different logged off areas.
Kris you are the man brother! Much love from NYC! This whole different direction in your way of living has been so awesome and educational to watch. One of the best I’ve ever seen! You are living the dream!
Your creativity is amazing and sustainability practices are enlightening. I agree to give back what we take from this planet. Well done!
Thanks for the update Kris, you could of probably planted another 100 trees but appreciate you took the time to show us. Loving how your journey on this property is evolving you have a big plan, impressed when mention things in the future about bees, apple trees and tractor access you know what you want and have done your research and planing to achieve this.
This guy is a keeper. If only for his building skills. Handyman
You've been a busy boy! Kudos all the best ☺🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
Can’t wait to see it when they are all grown in a few years
I like how you have planed this all out and thanks for planting for the future and I hope they all grow
You sir are an asset to your country. Wish more people would take the same initiative to care like you do
for their footprint in our environment. Can't say enough except I'm very proud of your attempt to be and
do the things you do and show in your videos. We all could take lessons from you in helping our blessed
mother earth. Keep up the good work. Thanks so very much. Me southern AZ. (USA)
Thanks for the update Kris, what a beautiful part of the country you have found for yourself.
I love seeing the process and all this planning stuff gets my creativity in gear so fast
I love watching your videos & seeing your on going projects💪💙 can't wait to start seeing the lil tree's grow🌱🌳😉& yesssss can't forget🍒🌳 many blessings your way ....you make my heart smile each time😊hello to your girlfriend💜 God bless to you both😊
Marvellous! Well done old chap!
So proud to see you planting all of these trees in preparation for the need instead of stripping the forests.
Love to see a video of the trees now see how much they have grown
You’re a bloody legend, Kris. Great foresight, keep up the good work
I appreciate and am envious of your ability to visualize the plan for your future.
Great job, always happy when I see a new upload from you! I really like what you're doing :)
blessings and love to you and your trees. i hope they grow well
Great planning as usual , you will have so much firewood in the years to come, well done 👍
Very inspirational!!! Congrats from 🇨🇦!!!
Hi Kris my husband and I are loving watching all your videos. It is a credit to you what you have achieved. I just wish that we were young enough to start again doing something similar. The simple life is definitely the best. Keep up the great work and we will continue watching you and your amazing projects that both you and Dot are undertaking. Coen and Jay - Tasmania Australia
Excellent work Kris, one way of keeping subscribers for the long term, looking forward to seeing this forest grow along with the building work.
Love it!!!
We planted 150 trees in our first house and when we moved we plants 800 to a 1000 in the 2nd house.
Great having trees around you
Wow!!! You really have a massive undertaking going on. I can't wait to see it when it's all done and they trees are maturing! You're going to have yourself a right beautiful place!!!
Bees and apples. Mead and cider. Lovely.
Joe Turner I love Mead, it’s one of my favorite!
What absolute joy! Imagine this in 10 years time Kris.. Heaven on earth. Fantastic.
That's going to be stunning in a few years, its good to see someone the thinks ahead.
You r brilliant with planning, knowledge & work ethic!!! 👏👏👏
Bro I love this man!
You are a true inspiration
Having planted, and seen several winters of bare-root trees at a nursery and potting up many end of season extras, I can appreciate the immense amount of work you put in to get these in. Wonderful!
OMGOODNESS! You’re doing it well! I love how you think ahead and plan for your future then put it into action. Your hard work will payoff. I really enjoyed the video! Blessings...
I will love to see you get into beekeeping! I think you will love it: While it does have a steep learning curve (so I suggest you get no more than 2-4 hives on your first year), once you get used to it, it's very rewarding.
And my hope is to also get some land to have my hives on.
Talk about planning ahead Kris! OMG! So the plastic tube is to help keep these trees don’t get eaten by the wildlife right! Wow you have really planned with a good variety for colour, foliage and growth rate. This is exciting just for sheer size of it and what it will look like in 5 years!
looks great, would love to see a full tour of your land, looks like a great place to live and work.
This channel is going to be epic
I'm amazed of how much tree planting you've already done. Nice work!
thanks, i have been doing it every day for two weeks.
Well done. I like your can do attitude. Shows that the money you spent acquiring the land was well spent when you can value add with the help of grant money. “We like curves. Curves are natural.”
Nice planning for the future Kris!
Absolutely inspiring, and it looks like an exemplary plan. Downstream properties will also benefit from delayed run off of rainwater and a slightly lower flooding risk, thanks to your trees. Best wishes from the heart of Texas.
Can't wait to come an volunteer for when your doing the new build idea I feel like I already know the land from watching your vids
this is whats called thinking ahead!
In 5 years time, when the world will be more chaotic, ur heaven will start taking shape and its only going to get better.....ur a gifted man and u could be successful in so many things but i cant imagine a more fulfilling way to utilise ur skills. All the best👍
Amazing future vision!
Great selection of trees, also pleased you have planted with insects in mind! I’ve planted a few Salix Chrysocoma and Verminalis this year and installed a few hedgerows!
The Willow gates! Lovely!
So great to see someone planting trees instead of felling them for a change 😀
I dont think anyone can have a go at me now when i fell trees to build. i have planted way more than i am ever going to kill. :D
Nice to see tree's going in as it will help with the drainage on the land to keep water from getting close to house building
Fantastic project Kris
wonderful. I hope all your tress grow well. Best wishes
wow!!! what a great plan!!!
Kris, you have made a brilliant start, and must have made a dent in that 2500 total! I look corward to seeing it all grow, and to see the coppicing and hedge laying once they grow on a bit. My offer to help still stands if you need it, otherwise I look forward to the next update, great work!
amazing - simply awesomely amazing!
THAT is a LOT OF TREES =)
Just found your channel Kris brilliant to see ypur planning for the future like your thinking of the appletrees and bees
By the way love the deli good luck with it happy driving
beekeeping is quite easy. my dad's been doing it for years. winter is the only truly complicated part. the cold can kill them really easily. but my dad has developed a box/method to keep them going
Great video showing your long term plan.
At first when I heard 10 year rotation I was thinking of the oak trees I planted at my parents house when i was about 10 or 12 and after 10 years they weren’t what I would consider harvestable but then I thought starting at 10 years you would have big enough trees for firewood to use knowing you have more available next year. Trees don’t need to be 24” across to be cut for firewood.
You have a great plan. Hopefully you are getting enough help with the planting so the 2500 isn’t a solo job.
Keep on planting.
Now is the perfect time to plant as the ground is easy to dig.... with every tree its helps heal mother earth 💙❤💜💛💚
That is impressive! How much land do you own? :) Love what you are doing, my dream is also to live simpler
18 acres
Very nice! Great job! Show more what u are doing with the land!
Harbour Arbour !..looking good.
Ooooh an l400 Delica.Used to drive its older brother, the starwagon. Thirsty beasts but very versatile. Good job on the planting.
You can imagine what the planet would be like if just a quarter of the humans live this way. Thanks for sharing, Kris. Good luck.
Youcef De Cáceres In theory, yes. But there are not enough creeks for everybody running his own micro turbine power generator...
Solar and wind power generators are a way to go too.
Youcef De Cáceres Yes, I know. But still not on a base of "everybody runs his own". Rather with a community based approach: one village, one large wind turbine, and of course solar pannels on every roof. Rather one large bio gas plant for a couple of villages together, as well as a large community forest. There is the issue of efficiency. Also it depends where on the planet you live. I am in central Europe, that's densely populated, a village every 3 kilometres. Other people live in countries where they can drive 50 kms without seeing anybody. So it depends.
Elon Musk is revolutionizing the field of energy production. ruclips.net/video/aCU0vG3Gpfs/видео.html
Youcef De Cáceres There a many developments under way, not only Mr. Musk's. Many things are also already implemented, e.g. solar electricity from slmost every single roof in the villages in some parts of Germany, or citizen initiatives running wind turbines and entire power grids.
Planting trees is a gift to the next generation.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
Altruism comes to mind.
Can't believe I missed this video. I follow a lot of tree planting groups on fb and they're always after knowledge and experience and stories about how things went, what worked etc. Be interesting to see a comparison video of how it looks now. Fantastic effort.
That's a heck of a project, best of luck with that, i planted about a hundred small trees at a friends around the property line for privacy years ago and that took a while to do, i take my hat off to you.
Thanks mate, yeah its a bit of a task but im over half way now.
Loved this video!
This is thrilling, Kris. You're not afraid of the big projects, are you?!! I'm pretty new to your channel: just finished the roundhouse videos, and I've seen the workshop videos. And now some serious tree planting - fabulous. I'm loving it all. Thanks.
Sorry, I mean I've seen the timber framed shed build, not the workshop.
Brings back memories of a few years back when we planted 6000 trees. The spade was too slow as we had a couple of weeks to do it so we used a stihl auger, not sure how it would cope with your wet ground though, we were on a nice hill side, so the ground drained pretty quick.
Keep up the good work Kris. Am soo looking forward to coming down to meet you and helping out. Had a thought of maybe one night doing a live Q+A for your subscribers as we slowly devoured cider :)
wow nice job man! btw I never knew the 360 view was so spectacular up there! Amazing view. you should show us the view more often :) maybe a nice pan on a sunny day. You are doing some inspiring stuff man. thumbs up
Great Job! Cheers! (cool that you planned for bees)
It’s interesting, hopefully it helps with revivifying the forrest too.
When you said 2500 trees i was in shock but as you showed what you were planning on doing with them as in planning ahead for the future i though you got your head screwed on the right way which is nice to see.
Keep up the great work and hope it dont take you to tong to pant them all
nice deli. trees look good to.
Great job
Would love to see a 2 year update I’m thinking about doing this in the future for milling wood to use.
Nice video, watching regularly...... Kris, looking at your answers to the comments I see that you write A LOT OF interesting information .... therefore I thought you might extend your talk with your videos to include such technical facts that you usually add later to single comments .... Just a thought..... Great job ! Looking forward to next videos. Regards from Czech... Tom
going keep an eye out on this..
Fun to see how u do it in uk. Im a timber farmer my self and put in from 5-10000 plants a year.
Our plants are smaller and we put in around 3500 per hektar.
I usually dont plant in segments and makes roods, because u need to drive on thfallen trees roots to not damage the souronding roots.
Sorry for my bad english
Good to see you've done your research on what trees grow best in what soil. A neighbour of ours destroyed a very old hedgerow (and got fined) and tried to replace it with random bushes, and couldn't understand why they all died. No sympathy for the guy.
Itd be cool to see an update
Love it. Looks great! I thought you might have been a little close to your road (I was thinking in terms of if you wanted to widen the road path in the future). But you seem to know what you’re doing mozaltov!
@ Kris Harbour
Kris you should get yourself a Long Handle Trenching Shovel, the shovel head is about 4 inches wide & about 12 inches long with deep sides, you could put it in on an angle & easily dig up a skinny 90 degree hole where you could easily put the tree in the center then pack dirt back in each side, of course it cuts down the amount of material that you are digging out & would speed up everything.
You're planting your own "Shire" forest! It's gonna be EPIC! Cheers!
You are an incredible guy. Strange in your way, but a good strange.
I wouldn't say strange at all he just more sensible and conscious then most. Not part of the heard maybe but not strange. I'm a few years older then him and only wish I had made similar decisions to Kris in my younger days Hes an inspiring character I hate to sound arse kissy but that's how I feel.
I agree with you, perhaps "unusual" would have been a better choice of words.
Man you got so much more land than i thought!
Well done on the planting so far.
Btw you should plant a tree for me, i am a very special person, it should be called the punkloader tree,
it will never be cut down and will inspire people for generations to come, to be more like me.
Me me me me... ;)
Very nice. You've been a busy little worker bee.
I love trees
Sensational Kris, you've made an amazing personal contribution to your local wildlife and habitat! Not boring at all and well worth an annual update (at least) to show their progress.
Oh, and congratulations of 50K subscribers too!
Great work Kris. Others have mentioned, but Deer are a total menace - certainly here in the South West. Hopefully enough of your trees will get to maturity by sheer weight of numbers. The only other way is serious deer fencing which is intrusive and expensive...
amazing... your a busy tree planter.
just a note... a good 20-25-30 distance between trees... they grow anf the natural canopy/circumference of growth is 15-20+ feet. better more space between then so tight you can't get in with equipment... you spoke about apple trees; they get pretty tall & wide/broad.... and what about irrigation???
but overrall, good for you. hope you'll have alot of help
live aloha!!!
