I love to watch your videos..as a newbie gardener, I learned a lot from you..thank you for sharing your knowledge..Salamat po

Great video! And just in time... I have 22 fruiting bushes that just showed up for our backyard Yum-Jungle ! Also we are putting in our first huglekulture bed in today! Cheers!

Thank you! What a beautiful day you were having and thank you so much for the info....I feel a bit neglectful of my trees...they seemed to thrive but I realize I gave my garden much much more attention...gulp...😜

Beyond organic! Yes!! Thanks again.

Thank you for all the great information and tips to doing it right. Glad I found you.

Very informative video!Except for a few new trees I have put in, the orchard here is OLD...massive apples and cherries. We just cut the grass under them...and harvest the fruit. But for my new plantings, this info is perfect timing! Thank you.

Very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you guys. God bless!

Thank you for this video! This is the best explanation I have seen for backyard fruit tree care.

Thank you for your very detail videos i enjoyed and learn from them all .....

Thank you for your comprehensive information.

Love the channel. Very educational. Thanks dan.

This is one of the best videos I have watched. You were very honest, realistic and down to earth. Thank you.

That was very detailed 👍🏽 Thanks!

Good info & was neat seeing aronia. Waiting on baker creek to send that & couple other live plants :) Be well !

Awesome video!! I feed my whole food forest once every two weeks of compost tea

Always great video thank you for sharing so helpful ...😊👍❤

Really enjoyed the information presented here. It's also really exciting to see what my fruit trees will look like in a couple of years! I spaced my trees similar to yours and even double planted my apple trees!

very informative thank you!!!

Great video thank you so much for sharing 😁

Great help thanks

Great time to fertilize

Another realistic and inspirational video, Dan. Thanks!

Good info. Thanks

Great video!

Nice vid. Nice info. The second bag actually Did have the ratio on the back; top right.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Almost a year later, what did you learn from using more fert last year? Did you see much of a difference? Did you still use your mulch and castings at the same rate plus the granular fert? Thank you!

One of the best things I like is the great variety of fertilizers we have available in our modern era it the shear amount possibilities that fit individual situations.

👍🏻 thank you!

Great information friend 😊

I was just wondering on this yesterday!!

Fantastic as always ;-)

For info to be more effective , give Date , and Zone. If I am watching this video two years from now, when could I identify with the info if am a new gardener? Great info !!

cheers!

Wow this helped me with my new budding plum treees. I stil have a question. If theres fruit on my trees i can still fertilize? What about with mulberries? I have flowers blooming now yet no fruit PRODUCED as of yet. And they're in pots. I can still fertilize? Even tho there's flowers and the roots are tight in a confined pot? Will the fertilizer burn the roots. Ty so much for your help.

Alice looks just like my Indonesian wife ! Maganda ! I grew an Asian pear tree from seed. Do you think it will bear fruit ? It's about 5 years old now and had a couple flowers last year that the birds ate. I expect it to do better this year.. Love your videos !

Great info. Simple, staright forward. Thanks!

When would be a good time to start using kelp foliar spray on your fruit trees and how often.

Great video. I just started my food forest a few months ago. I havent started a rain collection system yet. How bad do you think tap water is to keep all plants going in my first year. I'm using thick layer of wood chips and I'm on the central coast with only sand so first year watering will be a lot.

Great video One think I'm confused that I hear others SAYNG is better if you go one foot deep under ground , so roots stay deep .

I made a big batch of compost tea. We let it Brew for a long time. Just checked on it and it has a mold on top. Do I just throw it out? Or can I still use it or at the plants?

hey what zone do you grow in? Im in bay area 9b i wanna grow pomegranate and your tree looks nice!

Is it really necessary to do that if you're adding worm castings, compost and doing the chop and drop... ? ...

Great video, just on time, thank you. Btw, can I buy Comfrey from you? I am not too far from you, thank you so much.

Very informative....Kindly clarify, is it one pound for one inch diameter or circumference???

Can you show a video on your pomegranate tree and pruning tips? Thank you

Does the calculation change if you have sod under your trees?

I know this is an older video, and I am not sure if you will respond, but I am wondering... What would you suggest for a nut tree? I have a Hickory tree that as far as I can guess, is approximately 85-years old and is by far much taller than the house I live in, and it was built approximately 85-years ago. The year we moved in (Spring 2019), the gentleman who was caring for the property for the landlord told us that this tree produced well over a ton of nuts that he had raked up and then burned. The very next year (2020), the tree barely produced at best a few pounds and that is probably being generous. Last year (2021), which was our second year in the home, this tree again produced well over a few hundred pounds of nuts, and not knowing how to utilize them, we gave them to the wildlife to enjoy. This is our third year in the home and I know after watching your video that this tree really needs to be fertilized, since to my knowledge I don't think it ever has been. What are your thoughts regarding this very tall Hickory tree? ~SuzyJC-in-Pataskala-Ohio/USA_03.17.2022~

Moving snow around the yard and buying a Broadfork to help the snow sink in.

What kind of fertilize for orange and make them sweet Tyou

does it hurt the Mycorrhizae to water with city water ?

Does it matter if you use comfrey that can only be propigated from root cuttings or the kind that can be grown from seed?

Shall i fertilize fruit trees at the blooming stages

Job's and Miracle Gro citrus tree spikes are full of sulfur, I'm thinking that is what determines the acidity of the fruit.

Prune Asian pear for produce in summer or later winter ?

I live in Arizona, i have 4 year old and 10 ft tall jamun plum grown from seeds. It have not produce fruits, what kind of fertilizer help produce fruits? My friends in California told me tgeir tree produce fruits in 2 years using chicken poop.

Please do a video on growing avocados😍

How come I don’t have a fruit in my cherry I have the flower it’s very green the leaves what should I do thank you

We have a fruit tree. Not sure what kind. Was here when we moved here in 2015. It flowers white flowers every year then that's it just green leaves. Some say it's a peach and some say it's a pear. We have no idea. What would cause a fruit tree to flower but no fruit?

This is confusing for me because I was just told in another video that apple trees require more nitrogen so use 20-10-10 which is the opposite of what this video says. How do I know which is correct?

Orchid bloom fertilizer is good for fruit trees it has a higher p&k than n ratio

Hi! I would like to ask you. if you have a "Pandan plant'' I'm sure your wife know that Pandan plant.

My brother has two blueberry trees in a 20 gallon pot and he does nothing to them and they grow and produce every year great and I have 5 different blueberry trees and I can't get them to grow and I got them in a 50 gallon tub and I fertilize them and I get nothing ????

how much water and fertilizing does a tree need. And when they do need, and when they don't............that was always my question when we talking about agriculture..............

🙏❤️🙏

I disagree with a lot of info here, but I hope it all works well for you. The frequency of fertilizing is zone dependent. Good rule of thumb is to apply 0.10 pounds of “actual nitrogen” per year of age, or per inch of trunk diameter, so fertilizing three times a year is too much. Mulching with composed cow manure once a year in late fall and covering with wood chips is all you need actually in northern zones, simple as that.

I can’t find comfery. I’ll keep looking.

Hey Dan! Which type of comfrey are you using in your garden? Do you recommend Russian comfrey over common comfrey? Thanks!

OH GOd I made the mistake of planting comfrey in ground. You can never get rid of it.

Too much talk

Your not supose to have wood chips or mulch or other plants next to a tree trunk. As it promotes bacterial and fungal diseases.

Aronia berries are the worst tasting fruit I ever ate, blueberries taste great .
