I learn so much from your channel! I’m starting the process of creating a small farm homestead so I’ll need all the wisdom that I can lay hands upon. Thank you!
Yes, it works for wind breaks very well, it prevents the soil erosion. it was tested and successfully applied in Israeli sands.
thanx for sharing
it's very educational for a person like me who knows nothing about farming
now my question is for anyone who knows
do goates feed on that or they won't touch it?
Just to add another point.
Mulch and green manure are also obtained from it.
I would respectfully disagree with those types of Hedgerows because the lower brush cover provides so much habitat for mice, rats and rabbits. True enemies of crops! Plus, the blockage of early/late sun would negate any type of "funneling of light". A much better solution would be long narrow reflecting ponds providing reflected light, water and habitat for frogs and toads. Bringing in birds and beneficial inspects is wonderful, but they also can be pests. Frogs and Toads don't go after cucumbers like mice do.
I understand your position on posting content over the last year or two but I'm not a fan of it. I bought your book and I tried to make it work (it failed for reasons not related to the content of the book). I'm now looking towards more large scale operations and your content no longer fits this view. I'm sorry but I'm unsubscribing.
We plant corn as wind breaks on our farm
Great points. Love it.
It seems worth noting that the plant you're standing next to in this video appears to be the highly invasive exotic species called autumn olive, Elaeagnus umbellata. Birds eat the fruits and poop the seeds out in natural areas, they then take over and displace native plants which are much more valuable for wildlife and biodiversity than autumn olive is.
The old English method for hedgerows is fascinating, complicated, and labor-intensive. But the final product was amazing.
Golden rod is the last honey flow in the fall for bees
This is something permaculture got right btw.
I've been a member of fromthefield.farm since it began. I can say that I'm really impressed. There is so much content that I haven't seen it all. It's worth my money. Thanks Curtis and please keep it up!!
Thanks a lot. I've been wanting see more of those hedgerows for a long time.
Love this one…
Be it Ass Thiccs or Thicc Ass it's a win in my book LOL
Not only can they serve as windbreaks, but hedgerows can also offer frost protection
Another benefit for farmers on a busy road and a bunch of wandering people is barrier properties. Some small trees, add thorny climbing roses or berry plants and you have a natural fence. Lilacs grown close and tied together will also work. And they are attractive.
Awesome video. 3 more reason to add.
1) Micro climate , growing on the southside of any structure create a warmer zone… in Canada eh.
2) Carbon sink and rain water collectors with deeper roots. Acts like a drainage ditch, preventing flooding but then holds the water for all plants and biology.
3) Fungi spore catcher and grower of fungi. Garden soils have a hard time supporting fungi, the hedge row produces dry leaves which supports fungi growth.
There seems to be a bustle in my hedgerow, should I be alarmed?
Hey Curtis. You've done a few videos with JM and spoken about these rows in the past. This must have come up sometime before in comments or a workshop but I haven't seen any mention of the following over the years: Have they considered popping a few honey-yielding hives on the farm, maybe at the ends of these hedgerows? If I recall correctly, they've already diversified into flowers and whatnot so this doesn't seem like something they'd be shy about trying. I'm curious if they've considered it or if something is holding them back from it.
Hi want to ask u how many acres is there yours farm. I from India
Check out U of S sour cherries. You won’t believe them until you grow and try them
