PLANTING A MANGO TREE - on top of a wallaby 

NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK THE POUCH of a wallaby or kangaroo that has just been hit by a vehicle to see if there is a live baby inside so you can potentially save it´s life. I should have mentioned it in the video at 20:26.

Mangos remind me of my mother’s birth town in Brazil. The whole town smelt of overripe mango. Wish they grew here.

Right at 10:27 in the top right of the frame, when your friend was showing you the sand to use in setting your mango seed, there is a plant, lots of them there that is a great spinach. Cooked with garlic, onion and a little oil and salt, it is great with bread, or boiled in coconut milk with ochra, makes a great soup.

Hello, mate! Another quality video.

Here in Romania i had 2 wallnuts from my nrighbor tree. And i planted them both only 1 grew and the tree is healthy! Tho its little bent and its not straight!

Gosh I just love watching your videos. You are so hard working and yet so calming at the same time, I genuinely feel relaxed watching you. May you grow all the mangoes you could possibly ever eat like a gorilla and more! Grow some for me, I live in Scotland on a teeny tiny island thats always cold, windy and wet, so no mango growing for me

People in our area either cut down the branches or they pluck all the small baby mangoes and make pickles .. people won't wait to mature because of the elephant 🐘 atrocities same for the jackfruit tree

Hey 👋. I’m absolutely in love with what you’re doing. I cannot find the right words to describe how I feel when I watch your videos. This channel is absolutely the best thing that RU-vid have ever recommended to me and of course you became my favorite channel in just one video. Thank you so much!!!! Keep up the good work and waiting for all the new videos to come and support you though you’re journey.

RIP wallaby. One life goes one life appears, very wise to bury it and make it your mango fertilizer

Hey Weedy Man. I am so glad you met Geoff. I've been learning from him for years and now you having to as a real neighbor and I can only imagine the two of you together and what wonderful things you'll do. Thank you Weedy Man. You make a real difference in this world and to my life. Grow on

For some strange reason, I feel I'm in a church or cathedral when I watch these! Its reverent and sacred. Thank you.

Great video... My other half always tells me "best time to plant a tree 10 years ago, next best time to plant a tree TODAY!!" So we are, everywhere, all native and if the fruit are edible even better 👍 or for firewood. Happy planting everyone 🌳🌳👏

That Geoff is a smart man, would never have even thought about “sharp sand”. Hope the mango doesn’t sink when the kangaroo breaks down. The knuckle needs to stay above grade I’ve heard. Great vid keep ‘em coming! ✌️

My mom referred to mangos as "bathtub fruit". I see you have the same idea 😊.

You have an inherent sensitivity to rhythms. Thanks for sharing your earthy knowledge

Yay, another video!! And with that awesome guy you ran into!! I miss my dad so much since he passed, but I owe what little green thumb I have to him. But I will say my dad worked very hard and read alot (no internet back then) and he figured it out. Also your time lapse vids are so beautiful they make me cry. You kissed that mango seed as my dad talked to his plants. Beautiful. Edit: thank you for being so sweet and real with kangaroo. As my dad did all animals we used...you be kind, thank them and treat them well after death. Such a beautiful example of how life works.

I’m always so happy watching your vids! My calming therapy, for sure ☺️ thank you

... most dignified burial of a roadkill and the most lovingly planted mango tree :)

Thanks to your sublime videos I can travel to Australia sitting in my sofa in Belgium. How wonderfull is it, being able to appreciate the treasures of mother nature like you do. You are the kind of person that inspires me. I can almost taste this juicy mango. I love your work, thank you very much. Dimitri from Belgium.

just wanted to say Hi from Ottawa Ontario , i love all your videos and makes me feel right there with you in every one ... somewhere nice and warm wile im here in the cold winter lol

Wonderful! haha I like to kiss my seeds and plants too

I wish my mango tree can grow that fast like the magic of a video. I want to eat mangos!😋😊

So much TLC for this little Mango friend! I did not think that a video about planting a single tree could be so interesting for 30 minutes, but you definitely kept me interested!! You make amazing videos, bearded weedy man! Thank you and keep the good vibes going

Hope one day I can grow mango tree like yours. 😀

So happy for that little mango tree! She had one of the greatest Permaculture minds working on its “birth”. Wanted to thank you weedy man! for sharing your videos and reminding me of the pdc I missed my email for the early bird join, but i made it in the pdc! I’m so happy to have the chance to learn and meet all the like-minded ppl out there. ✌🏻

I like the hu’i at the beginning, we always did this in Hawaii to circle up for farm meetings.

Great video Weedy Man! We love mango, but we can’t grow it here. Way to humid! Keep up the good work! Your compost looks great as well.

Seedling mangos don't usually come true from seed, take much longer to fruit than grafted varieties, and usually have a sub-par taste with a lot of fiber (Geoff hits on this very well). Love your spot in Australia; truly a beautiful place. Great filming and photography too! Keep it up! I love mangos too; have over 40 varieties. And dry periods during flowering is good. The thing that will nuke your flowers is powdery mildew; it can attack your panicles/flowers and kill all of your mango flowers within days which means zero fruit for that year. Anthracnose usually forms as the fruit develops and leaves black streaks and spots on your fruit. Stem-end rot also forms as an attack on developing fruit. A good spraying of fungicide (natural or not), can significantly reduce these issues. Spray when the panicles emerge after 1 week, when the fruit is the size of a pea, size of an egg, and then every several weeks as needed.

Magnifico tu trabajo!! Buena tierra para crecer tu mango.Un abrazo desde Tenerife (Canary Island) 🍊🍓🥕🍌🥑👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love that curious cow at the end. 😊

Hi , Your videos are incredible with lots of background work. I could see you like a baby playing with its happy heart with mother earth.

What a beautiful soul you have. The mango seed brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful ❤️❤️ 🇬🇧

Yas ! Thank you Weedy Man and Geof!! Exciting!! Wish I lived on land !

Woo-hoo I'm here first!!

Beautiful view. Can I move there too. ? I love mango. I sprouted mango seed but it can't grow outside here in DC. It dies in the frost. Is permaculture (big word for little me) come from words permanent food forest? What a great video ?

I didn’t take my mango seed out of the shell. I wrapped the whole thing in a wet paper towel and put it in a zip lock bag….not zipped up. I sat it on a shelf and left it alone. After about a week or so, the root made its way out of the shell and then I planted it. Could be I got lucky. My tree is about 2 feet tall now. 😊 I’m glad. Yes, you’re right… It’s beautiful. I wish I could share pictures here.

Wow! I have never seen a more loved tree being planted. How lucky for all who get to taste its fruit.

"I'm a child of earth, i'm an earthling." This is the way, we all are children of earth. We are earthling.

Makes me want to eat a mango in a creak once... amazing you found geoff. I live right on the opposite side if the world in a very diffeent climate and also for me geoff has been a great source of information and inspiration. You re the best duo

Another great video Mr Weedy loving the info and the way you show it. Thank you for all your work and passion.

in 1997 my wife and i grew a few Mango and a few Avacado trees from seeds, regrettably it took us until 2016 before we had some where we could have planted them, imagine how big those trees would have been today, oh well, we arent dead yet, time to start again i guess

A week or so ago, I opened the husks of a couple of mangos from my friend's place and I was surprised to find one beetle living in each. The true beetle, with the pointy nose. I think they may have been blinded by the light (there's a Manfred Mann song for you). The seeds were a bit dodgy looking, but I potted them anyway, beetles too. Here's hoping. Love your videos. Sharing again.

It is evident you care. Your videos are imbued with wonder and excitement. Blessings Abound.

My boys 5 and 7 and i watched and loved!! They want to eat a mango in the creek. And liked that you continued the wallaby life cycle. Thanks for your sharing!!

Brilliant weedy sow sow sow gd 4 permaculture luffu

What a delightful video! How is your mango tree doing now, a year later?

Hahah the cow in the end, so funny. 31:18

I cant wait to see the grass that green again.

My Mum plants new roses with a fish underneath it in the ground - guarantees great roses every time.

Guess you can call them Kangos now xD Love the videos!

I just want to frolick on that land!! Mangoes are so yum!!

I want to be buried under a Sequoia seedling. Seriously...it would be better than any marble headstone imo.

The problem with planting mango from seed is it may not be true to type. Besides it could take 15-20 years to begin flowering. If you'd like to pluck your fruit off your mango trees early, graft them with stems from some mature mango trees whose fruit you like w.r.t. variety. You could also graft a different variety on different branches and you'd end up with a single tree that bears a variety of fruit.

Mangoes 🥭 are my favourite fruit, would love to taste one straight off the tree 😋

If I swim in a creek one day while eating a mango, I’ll have a million anxiety going on in my head. I envy the way u embrace life and being sensible about cutting your fingers. Totally envious how open and true u are to yourself

Heyyyy ! 😀😀😀💗💗💗 love mangos!

Great video. Thanks a lot my friend

Awesome video... and Thanks so much for the tips. From Florida, USA

I have enjoyed this soooo much. I am crying with joy that this is how it is sappose to be we are the care takers of the earth and the generations after us!! Thank you for touching my soul deeply!!

first comment first like

You make me very happy 😊 that little sprout is bound to do well with all that love!

Hi there Mr Weedy my Bacteria Juice at 26 days from Rice start...its a bit colourful and wild on the surface but smells sweet and nice. I hope it will be OK.

Thanks, wanted something happy to watch :) 💚

This one very well fed Mango!!!!

Another brilliant production! You've inspired me to grow on my Balcony now. Absolutely possible. Reminds me of my father's pride and joy tree that my brother is now custodian of. Dad used to let the mango seed dry slightly before using it.

Found this video at the right time, I live in a city filled with mango trees, so I thought I'd give growing my favorite variety from seed a try, I have not yet finished watching the video but it looks to me like it is very high quality and I love your vibe, have a great day ♡

14:50 Nam Doc Mai mango is actually one of the only mangoes that comes true to the type from the seed. But I wouldn't recommend growing any other mango variety from the seed. Furthermore, while mango is considered to be originated from South Asia not all the varieties of mangos come from there. There are many varieties developed in other countries like Nam Doc Mai from Thailand and R2E2 from Aus. Although India is probably is the source of most varieties and is said there are 1000 varieties there (probably not).

Th photo buzz Yes is excellent weedy

you have a great style of presenting, i like your planting style too, i use a similar method myself, but it was just what seemed to feel right. My Murraya hedges grown in a similar way have grown very fast, from 6 inch high to 5 feet ( if i didn't trim) in 2 years, one thing i was focusing on was water reservoir, when i dug down to the c horizon, i made sure the base of the excavation was always sloping downward , so as it would serve as both an place to fill in with compost/manure(cow/chook)/soil+lime(about 2%+dolomite1.5% vol) but also to create a permeable zone which could contrast the impermeable c horizon and create a sort of underground dam or well. I'm on a slope and on top of a ridge so this is more important, but it seems to work. I can do intermittent long waterings and the roots seem to have gone down into that deep trench. And the geomotry of the trench is important so like a pool, all the root systems should have some refuge under the 'overflow point'

I appreciate your videos and your passion. You have a great little environment around you and it is great to see. I imagine there are challenges with bugs and bitey things, but wow how lush. Such a great spot with running water near your hill with a view. Happy for you!

My husband looked at me sideways when I asked for him to go get the roo that got hit near our place.. I did manage to go get the poor duck that got hit recently, it’s under my quince tree now. I couldn’t leave it there looking so sad while all the other ducks and duckling were still around. They should go back into the earth not rot away on the bitumen.

@12:55 Love the little Mango Baptism moment there. After getting out of the Military I have become more and more engrossed with life, and nature and wanting to create and nurture life instead.

One of the best plants to get biomass is Vetiver grass, many advantages and different uses... Check it up! Also Sting Nettle, Comfrey, Achillea millefolium, Tithonia...

You have the same kinda mentality towards seeds as i do 😅 you showed it its enviroment and his landscapes and a small lil kiss before you pot it.. if i were that seed id be thriving 😂👌

Thanks for the video mate...🙌

In our modern technologically advanced society, this is as close to the garden of Eden as you can get. Here in Canada, Canadians do not have any advantages for land ownership, it's all for money and it is very expensive, one good acre can go for as much as $100,000 or more. Some really remote areas can go for $25,000 to $65,000. So, Enjoy!

Lovely video 😀

Interesting way to plant it 😊 I tried to plant a mango tree once, but the cold weather in Victoria was too much for it. So ….I plant other trees that grow in the climate I live. I still want to plant a mango tree, I love it! And I miss having it close by like I had when I was in Brazil. …. One day, one day….

So unique and creative to film opening scene from the water LOVED this video‼️🩵

Congrats weedy man, you started your food forest, thanks for share your journey , awesome 👍

agradezco el que estés!!! dale mis gracias a Jeff desde patagonia, pura inspiración...

Eating manggo while swimming .. Just dropping my saliva lol..

Wonderful, thanks!

Good Informative video. Very easy to listen too. The scenery Will always keep me coming back. 🌱

Blissful 🙏

Wow, great video.... instead of Johnny Appleseed you can be Weedy Mangobean!

Thanks for sharing all this! You do a great job and put positive vibes out there and how wonderful it is that you get to hang out with jeff Lawton! Appreciate you and your content!

Beautiful intro!

Mr Weedy, next mango stone you get, put it in your worm farm and wait a while. The worms will do all the hard work for you, no knife needed.

Gosh...I’ve got the sharp sand on my mountain property! Thank you! I’m so enjoying your channel. Your words and actions speak to my soul!!! God bless🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸

If you want to open a mango seed again, there is a small hole on the rim you can use to pry open the shell with a knife

If I could, I would come to live in Northern New South Wales just for the mango trees ! Fantastic

Thank you for being you. If the world could see through your lens

Thank you Weedy man. Did you know cassowarys eat road kill. The sad thing is they get killed as well from the cars. Its a bit of a problem here in far north qld. I loved your lesson on opening your mango seed and the loving care to plant it. This latest lesson is a another master piece. 👏👏👏👏👏 ❣

always check them for a pulse too if you plan on taking them into your car. Have heard stories of wild animals waking up from unconsciousness in the trunk... You don't want to clean the mess after an animal that wakes up from a trauma in a panick......

Wow how fortunate it is to have a friend like Geoff, thanks for sharing

I definitely enjoyed the video and I definitely learned plenty of things you wonderful mangoness, Yet another great video I couldn’t take my eyes n’ ears off

Art documentary ! Wishing long life for your mango tree . Please do post how your mango tree is doing . and Thank you

Regards from Serbia ❤️ Beautiful nature you have weedy 🍀
