Thank you. I just discovered figs - literally. My friends here in Japan invited me over for coffee. They gave me a fig to have with the coffee from the fig tree they had outside. I was instantly addicted. They cut some branches for me and I have 5 fig trees growing now in pots on my balcony 8 months later. I have 18 figs ripening and am hooked. These flowers (figs) fascinate me. Now I know how to produce more figs by your recommendations especially since I am growing in pots.
i bought organic neem cake powder online and mixed it in water and put a teaspoon on top of the soils on each on my plants. Within a week all my plant soil was moldy!!! The gnats are still there and some other bugs appeared !!
Thanks for the video! I have some of these planted. Waiting for them to fruit one of these years. What kumquats do you have, if you dont mind me asking? Couldnt find a video on them here.
@@markm8188 No, unfortunately. They eat some grass and definitely some weeds, bud all in all, it is a pretty small portion of their diet. Quail need a lot of protein (seeds, greens, etc).
I would personally like to thank you. I have been having a big gnat problem in my office. It looked like they were continuously flying past my face as if they were mocking me. I used sprays, bug bombs and everything I could think of to get rid of them with no success. I could not find the source of it anywhere. I finally came across your video and immediately realized what the problem was. I bought a big bag of potting soil a few months ago. It had a tear in the bag but I figured I was going to be using it soon so what's the difference. I wound up not using but instead, I put it in my storage room. As soon as I saw your video, I immediately ran back to the bag. I saw the gnats hanging out by that opening. I threw it out and set up bug bombs shortly after. This is the first day I was gnat free in months. Again...thank you!
@@jeaniegobin1375Unfortunately my beloved apple tree is gone due to a sewer backup we had, and the emergency work that followed immediately after. A plumbing company excavated an 8-ft deep trench (right under the apple tree) out to the street to get to the pipe. Lost the tree, as well as a huge reset on about half of our food forest. We are planting more things in its place, and seeing new life already. Thank you for asking, and bless you too, sir.
I think this is so cool thank you sir. In my "weekender" I have a large garden area so I could bury this waste in holes. By the time I have filled a few of these holes I could no doubt go back and dig the first hole out again. Its not a high traffic toilet so there will be plenty of time for further breaking down of the material in the garden. I have been using a small chemical toilet so for me, this is way better and so simple.
Was told by local ag extension educator to cut the infected part and clean tools as you go. But my tree has more infections traveling. I am going to try your approach - it has lot of green leaves. I don't think it will bear fruit this year but my tree next to it will have plenty to pick.
Great information. I have gnats in my yard (grass) . Are these fungus gnats and can I spray a solution of mixed Neem Cake on the grass. Thanks in advance
@@mikrch3935 Hmm. It's hard to say for sure without identifying them. Spraying on the grass will only work if they are active in the grass. If they seem to be coming out of the grass, it should definitely help.
I have a question. Since you had the idea of of mixing neem cake into water and not using the oil so not to mix with dish soap, what do you think about this mix to spray on the leaves of apple trees for a funguscide and to repel plum curculio beetle? To use the cake water instead of neem oil.
@@letamorgan6819 That's what I would think as well, but it does work just fine... Really works just the same, as long as you apply enough of the material over it.
Im curious how comfortable living in this trailer in a Colorado winter with only a 30 amp plug goes... Ive been living in the winters with a 1500 watt oil radiator heater .. if you have too much draw on your electric itll throw a breaker... Youve done a wonderful job .. good inspiration...
@@caburtnett1980 I actually just tried that and was successful with it in Zone 5 Colorado, so I'm a huge fan of it. Only thing I'd say is cutting back, not all the way down. You want to retain some of the branches in order for the fig to pop back well and bear fruit. I did a recent video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NLs3ooAUZo4.htmlsi=fabaZPJgeuEjYyUA
@@TheIntegratedGarden So I'm zone 6/7 SE PA. My mom is only 5' and 80 so I want her to have a lot of figs that she can reach. Thinking the fig tree will be more bushy than tall... I DID NOT KNOW figs are different from others and SOME can grow 6 to 15 feet in a season🤯 So I have 2 on my mom's property and thought, figs only grow on new growth and I just have to cover the plant nodes like my grapevines. I left 6 to 10 inches and covered with hay from the bales I have left over from Halloween. The one is already 10' tall full of new branches and the other is about 4/5' tall and about 7' wide. Not saying this is a method for everyone, but definitely a bigger difference than the prior year. Just waiting for figs now. I have a 3rd fig I want to try growing as a single trunk, more like a tree about 15' tall. We'll see🤙
@@baileystruss7319 Hmm. You might try pinching. I did a video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a625EYGMIh4.htmlsi=YICh9fw0xfCX5WIW Also, perhaps a high phosphorus fertilizer may help spur on fruiting as well.
Alot of you blaming the neighbors have never had or lived near a rooster. They crow all thru the day and can be very loud. The considerate things to do is to collar the bird
I am in northern Ireland where there is no summer , apart from a few days a year 😂. Anyway Lidl was selling a fig tree 2 months ago and I bought one. Today I was surprised, even without sun there are some baby figs growing
Awesome. The warmest, sunniest and dryest area of your property is best. For example, across a wall facing the sun that gets slightly warmer, etc. I think you can still do great though. Some varieties that I think would do extra well for you: Ronde De Bordeaux, Hardy Chicago, Dessert King. Blessings!
The tractor is holding up amazing. I will also paste for you a recent response I had for someone else asking, in case helpful: Here are a few things I've learned, and/or just a few good consideration points: - Everything works beautifully, as intended, in function. The mobility (although I wouldn't want it to be any heavier), the raised lip for the eggs to come right through, the access points, shelter, etc.! - Through a comment or two from others asking how I do with snakes, I have realized that if you live in an area where snakes are a big concern, you should forego the raised lip. Not a huge deal, and we don't have any issues here, but worth mentioning for others who might. - Because we can have multiple feet of snow here in Colorado, we decided to move them into a raised cage for the deepest of winter months, as we did not want to see this thing get buried with snow. - Turns out that quail really don't eat that much grass. I mean, a little bit for sure, but there really isn't much of a "lawn mower" effect. The quail are SUPER happy and healthy in this tractor, though, being on grass with weeds and bugs to keep busy on. - I might have over estimated just a bit on how many quail this thing can house. I'd say between 20 and 30 max, for this size.
There are so many things that people need to know about a hose that are missing from your video. What's the PSI? What are the metal couplings made of? Looks like aluminum but sometimes when I watched your video it looks like brass. Where was the hose you bought in 2013 made? Manufacturers move production off shore all the time. When you bought your hose it may have been made in the USA but now 11 years later it made be made elsewhere.
