My Secret RARE Fruit Tree, PERSIMMONS!!
https://youtu.be/cztEmuSbOF8
Definitely field mice.
Looking good! I'm in southern Ontario, have a small garden with a few raised beds. My biggest problem every year is aphids. And a yellow and black bug that goes after my potatoes and cucumbers. Any idea how to get rid of them or prevent. I don't use any Chem or fertilizer either.
Do blackberries need a wire fence to grow against? Same question other berries. I got my fruit trees in, avocados as well but didn't get to the berries in yet. Is it too late to put berries in?..
James, do you ever have any earwig problems? I just started putting wood chips down, and they're already scaring me.
Thin strips of white cloth moving in the wind, tied to the fence and sticks, solved my problem of disappearing salad. Birds will keep away from it.
My chickens hopped the fence and did my peas in, luckily they were just starting, and they DIDN'T touch my beans… yet. So I've got some fertile scratched soil, and some resilient young peas.
I watch your videos through the winter to keep seasonal depression at bay. Lol
Squirrels !!
Great info thanks, but how do you prune the berries n other stuff.
What do you think about using Neem oil as a pest deterrent?
James, you and Raw Utah make perfect partnerships. Thanks for mentioning each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKEp4gVxUk
Gophers eat my peas…the little fuckers.
How far apart you plant your fruit trees?
James, I can't help noticing that you don't have root crops or vines. Any particular reason for that?
Daddy uses olive oil & helped protect his corn & other leaves from pests, naturally. He refused to use any unnatural products in his garden.
Hey James, I appreciate the inspiration you are sharing, keep it up! I have a question for you today. In my newly started food forest of about 2 acres, I would love to put down a deep layer of deciduous wood chips like you have. However, It would be prohibitively expensive because in my area all I can find is pine based chips and I have been led to believe that pine wood chips are an inferior choice in an orchard. Is that true in your opinion? Also, I have been led to believe that while pine chips are an inferior choice, pine needles are a viable alternative. All thoughts are appreciated 🙂
I used the board method to protect my Peas during germination. In WI. we have a fly that lays eggs on pea seeds. Using the board protects the Peas until they get a chance to germinate and start growing.
I really want to do the same here in our garden. Since we have limited water supply. But I haven't found someone or company that shred those branches
Thank you from Mumbai
I had the same problem and thought at first it was some type of rodent until I caught the culprits in action…It was my ducks eating my peas and bean through the fence line. I put chicken wire along the fence line now and it solved the problem…
Sparrows decimated my pea plants. Little savages.
You’ve got quite the Solo cup garden back there!
Rabbits. They love to eat peas.
I saw a dump truck yesterday full of scrap wood, some treated some untreated. If the load got chipped out, I'm not sure I could tell treated from untreated in the stack. Any ideas?
How did your lettuce self seed? I never knew that happened in cold climates. I'm in zone 7
I don't know what happened to your peas, but if your plants start disappearing without a trace it's moles snatching them out from under you. I just watched one of those pink nosed little critters grab the last leaf of my pepper plant left on the surface and vanish before my eyes. They're cute but deadly. Lol
What about watering your food Forrest garden?
James, you’re peas may be eaten by a groundhog.
Do you use drip or do you let nature water or do you water by hand
