Finally someone knows the value of straight organic materials. Most of the feeding my plants get is either woodchips, dry leaves, or slightly digested compost and they thrive. Also btw, I just saw your old video about mangos, and it was insanely helpful. As a Phoenix resident, I'm tryna get mangos going and i got really lucky by finding a mango with a huge seed, and it was already starting to break through the husk. Wish me luck 🤞
We were too busy with the homestead revival to harvest the pods this summer, had more urgent things on the list. Definitely harvesting next year, we have 100 mesquite on our property and another 50 across the drive on other property. We have an old electric smoker that we rarely use, Im thinking of cleaning that out and use it as a dryer... hmmmm. The Mule Deer, Jack Rabbits and other critters love them and they all hang out under our pruned mesquites that surround the back yard. Maybe do a video on harvesting Prickly Pear Fruit? Were starting to gather them now, freezing them and make wine, syrup and maybe jam later this winter. Edit: Great video. 👍🏼
@@FruitTree I guess I need to pay better attention 😅 BTW, try and use food grade buckets, some of these hardwarestore units can leech whatever Chinese junk into our food.
I'm not quite sure why I am here, as I don't even have land to raise livestock yet, but I enjoyed learning about these guys. I always appreciate people who work on breed preservation, and as someone who would like to get into breed preservation in the future, I'll have to put this breed on my list. Btw, I believe the name of the region they are from is pronounced tie-hoo.
Did you see the belly? No other pig has a belly like that. I'd trade bacon for ham. They also have more ribs than standard pigs. Who doesn't want more ribs.
I just fell into a trio at a good price. But they are half sibs. I need one that I can grow into a boar. :-) I'm letting my boar breed his half sibs and an old spot gilt about January, but I would like a less-related male ready for next spring/summer.
My family left oregon for Tennessee three years ago and I have to say we definitely made the right choice! Our families thought we were crazy we sold everything and left bought our property sight unseen packed up the kids the dogs and the cats and drove across the country on a hope and a prayer. We made it and here we are, we own a beautiful peice of forest, are building our own homestead here, went from raw land and an unfinished house with no septic etc. to now two large gardens, rabbits, chickens, ducks and turkeys, next spring we will add goats, hoping to achieve as much of a closed loop of sustainability as possible. Adding rabbits really helped with that you can (with a little work) feed them 100%from unusable stuff on your land. The churches here are great (lots of false unbiblical teaching going on in what’s left of churches in oregon) 😢 Overall the best thing we have ever done with our families. Now here we are also! I’m happier than I have ever been the kids are thriving here, the homeschool/homestead life seems to sit well with everyone. We are an hour and a half out of Knoxville, howdy neighbor, glad to have you!
Thank you for the information. I am starting an orchard in zone 7b in Tennessee. I am interested in growing rare fruit trees that can adapt well to my area, and I came across your video while researching about melonberry.
Thanks I just had one today they are great. Check out my channel for some other interesting fruit. I'm not going to lie our late frosts make it difficult.
Your roots are going to stay in that square hole because you put too much good nutrients inside the hole. Digging a square or circular hole has nothing to do with how roots will spead.
It's the pot effect. Roots won't spin and spin. You may be correct about them not spreading out. Time will tell. The amended tree is growing much much faster than my non amended trees
I used to sing a song everyday and they started to associate my song with the being let out and fed and they would get excited when they heard me singing lol
@@FruitTree Ah. Oh well. Guess it’ll take a few geniuses in a lab to crack the genetic code for Meishan-Mangalitsa crosses that have the physical attributes of *both* breeds. 😉 At the same time, how does their meat taste since that’s the reason you’ve bred crosses?
@@FruitTree wow ok so it could happen but the chances are slim to none ok I like that I just started with 6 chicks & I wanna have atleast 10-15 in my back yard !
I just chucked 430 in the ground , some with a bit of potting mix and some just straight bad quality soil. Just about all grew. Not sure u have to go to all this extra expense and time.
@@FruitTree I think she and her husband plus young children love it . They love visiting farm house while living in Texas. If you have it open to the area please let me know I’ll visit them soon!
I have jujube from suckers but need to get grafted with the one that can give some fruit. I’m in Orlando area hope to grow good jujube Chinese dates but no one in the area have them
@@FruitTree asked local but no one carry it. It’s not a good zone for producing fruit that what they told me but my sucker plant got lots of flowers and falling off most of the time. I stick with the mango trees!
