Where are you frm? Can i buy a small tree? Will it live inside the house? Or bring it oyt during summer?
Okay 👍
I rememberered that old army PT shirt 😂. Thank you for the video!
We are glad to invite you to comment on our products again. Thank you for sharing.🤩🌱
you couldnt have picked a worse spot to grow that tree. A really weeded and terrible landscape.
Interesting!
Cool stuff!! My experience with solar devices like this has been birdbath fountains. And then they lasted about a year or two. I think the panel surface that the sun hits eventually turns opaque, which interferes with the signaling, and fountains stop working properly. This is the first time I’ve seen a watering system like this.
I'm using this one so I'll update how it does long term.
Great ideas👍👍👍 Nice sharing
Sounds like a commercial.I water by hand and my plants do great😃
I have been following Alan for a while now and can tell you he does not do things for commercials sake. He is one of the few out there in the gardening ecospace that actually tells you the truth. He is a no frills, just sharing knowledge kind of a guy whose opinion I respect. I am pushing 70 and have been gardening all my life, so that tells you something right there. I have a green thumb but I still learn things from him like better and easier ways of doing things. When you live in the desert with 110° to 120° every day hot summers, you have much different challenges than you do elsewhere. I can personally tell you that getting cool water to all your plants everyday is a huge job and issue.
how many plants do you have and where do you live?
Just moved from West Palm Beach to Palatka. No one up here seems to have a mango tree in their yard. Do they grow just south of Georgia? I am sure a mature tree would survive but will it produce fruit?
too cold, you'll need cold protection
@@qctropicals I figured a mango tree would survive but probably never fruit. Maybe an avocado? Do not see any of them up here either.
I think birds are the pollinators ❤🦜
do you water when you plant a seed?
We got the saccades waking up this spring>>>>THEY WREAKED HAVOK ON MY FRUIT TREES......They ate on the stalks till they died off the tree so I have a lot of limbs propagating>>>>I could just twist it off they ate through so much >>>>strawberry trees, mulberry trees>>>>the only trees saved was my black sapotes not sure why but they survived that fiasco....Alll the small seedlings like sugar apples and blackberry jam trees survived because they sat on low ground and I think the black sapotes survived because I had them staked and I think i faked them out on the stakes>>>no pakistan mulberry but i have thought about adding it
Thank you so much . I bought a small henna plant from eBay , It came with a small pot don't know what to do next. It was very helpful for me. Keep up the good work.
Man your videos are on point! I feel the same way about how plants are here to help us in more ways than we can imagine. Keep up the great honest content. 🙌🏽👍🏽
In Japan they practice forest bathing, a practice or process of therapeutic relaxation where one spends time in a forest or natural atmosphere, focusing on sensory engagement to connect with nature. I too lost significant weight. From 230 to 150 pounds. I did it because of diabetes and high blood pressure. I changed my diet from the typical American garbage diet to keto. No seed oils, no processed foods, zero sugar. My carbs are less than 40 per day, most people consume150 to over 400 carbs per day. My blood sugars are normal now. ALL carbs turn to sugar in the body. I spend at least two hours in the garden in full sun every day. Being in nature and in the sun is how we evolved as a species. We did not evolve inside cubed boxes in artificial light making trips to the kitchen on an hourly basis Your not crazy my friend.
Exactly I don’t cut the leaves off or anything like that especially when I first planted them. They look just fine. I haven’t added any fertilizer or anything like that
I had knee surgery on every ligament last year. I did two full rounds of PT but only got so far. The garden forces me to strengthen the knee (I grow on terraced rows). I am almost 100% and lost about 20 lbs. just thought I would toss some anecdotal evidence in the mix 🤙💚. Also if you’re a natural gardener and focus on soil biology , the microbes 🦠 will help almost all aspects of your health !!! 💪
Birds are very smart. The expression bird brain is a misnomer. Crows can remember faces of good people and bad people for years along with teaching it to the other birds in the flock, too.
Hi again Alan, from your experience growing Moringa seeds, do you find that they will grow from seeds in the full desert sun and heat? I live in the desert with 120+ degree heat and no humidity. I wish to plant several Moringa trees on the west side of the house. This side has absolutely no protection anywhere from the direct summer sun and heat. I have noticed that my seedlings in 2 liter soda bottles struggle very hard with the full sun. They basically stopped growing and try very hard just to survive and not die. Since I moved them to the covered porch, removed them from the water tray and now give them only morning and late afternoon sun with daily top watering, they are growing once again. The tallest is only about 7", but it is about a month and a half old. Seeing that makes me think that I need to grow them up a bit, then acclimate them to the full sun and then finally transplant them. What are your thoughts and experiences on this? Thank you.
I need to lose weight. I might need a bigger garden. The only thing you need to give your plants is enough water, and the plant will be thankful. Gardening will help you with mental health, burn calories, and many other benefits.
When you prune a tree, can the branches be rooted? If yes, how? I want to root my moringa tree. Also, my mulberry tree. Can I prune and root those trees?
Simple and honest. I like it!
Thank you Alan. That is an eye opener. I am the gardener, but my husband does all the heavy work in the garden. And you know wmhat ? He is not interested in eating ! After seeing your video i realize how correct you are !!
You aren't full of it. The electromagnetic energy from the black Sun gives me a lot of energy. 😎😂 Really though. Relaxing and feeling the ground under your bear feet is amazing. Especially around full moons
There is a lot of interesting things that you might be interested in hearing from a guy called @watersabove he does lives on Saturday that is about Heath and stuff.
I never really had that problem, maybe a few pounds but nothing major. Being out in the sun is good for a person if you don't overdo it to the point of having a sun stroke or skin cancer, actually I think sun block is supposed to prevent a person from getting skin cancer but I have never used it, so far no issues thank God. You get free vitamin D from the sun if you spend time in the sun. I'm glad you were able to lose weight.
Beautiful video!
I just want to eat pickles in this heat. I too force myself to eat something because I don't get hungry until dinner time.
You are appreciated!❤
Before you put irrigation in for me, I hand-watered all my plants. That was for about two years. I would be out there for two to three hours morning and again at night. I also moved rocks and lifted bags of soil, mulch, etc. I am 65 and can still easily carry bags of soil, mulch, move my pots, etc.. I do hurt in the evening, like you, but I have the mindset that I am going to hurt anyway, so I might as well feel like I have accomplished something. You have definitely changed your body, solid muscle now! This is Pam in Apache Junction by the way. 🙂
Organic gardening is a very spiritual thing and a healthy lifestyle. Gardening isn't just a seasonal or occasional deal. A garden is a living thing that needs constant attention so it's a part of daily living or it will not thrive. I started gardening right after arriving in CA and bought a house at about 30 YO. I am now 65 YO having moved to AZ about 6 yrs ago. I am not me without my trees and plants that bring contentment and joy in life besides learning a great deal of information on the environment among other stuff. Love your videos!
I try to get my fat A$$ out and sweat in the Angry heat, and take in the liquid air (90% humidity). Cant say Im loosing much weight, but at least my belly is maintaining so I can still see my Junk.
😂
@@williambryce8527 😂🤣
I lost a few pounds too gardening. Actually, it was taking care of orphaned kittens that got me outside. Then I began to garden too while out there. The exercise gardening and chasing after cats has kept me fit. I push myself to get things done also. Good video, Alan. 🐈🌱🌿
5:20 the truth is much simpler. Your body uses alot of water to digest food. If you're in extreme heat your body will prioritize the water to cool your body and therefore not have enough water to digest food.
You’re absolutely right, Alan! Especially during the cooler or more temperate times of the year, I’m going to definitely be outdoors, whether it be walking or gardening. This increases the more steps one takes. Sometimes in the spring, I will have taken 10,000 to 15,000 steps in a given day. It’s a great feeling to have, especially when one is motivated. Plus, like you said, it comes with the added benefit of losing weight. The days when I’m working outdoors, I become more thirsty than hungry, so I drink these high-electrolyte drinks, to quench my thirst. I even lost a few pounds earlier this year, especially during the spring and autumn. I wear a Fitbit wristwatch device to keep track of my steps. There are so many guys who need to lose some weight. I also think more guys are getting into gardening, whether for therapeutic or health purposes.
This is one of my favorite channels!
1, Helps with stress 2, Build stronger bones 3, Vitamin D3 4, Promotes well-being happiness. 5, Definitely. Loss of weight 6, Sweating , Detoxing. Thank you, Alen
You are crazy, but you are right. I always feel better after working outside.
awesome, great presentation💛💛💛💛
Well, you did a good job, but you didn’t say where to keep them in the sun in the shade so much information and then you forgot to tell us where to leave them so they propagate can you put them in the shade in the sun come on very good narrating and ver you forgot to say where do you keep them once you put them in the the sun or in the shade so please kindly give me a response thank you, sir
Just started my gardening journey in 2022. I planted around 65 trees and set up 10 dragon fruit trellis since. I've experienced most of the benefits you're talking about. I didn't do it for that purpose, I just thought it would be cool to grow a couple of fruit trees of my favorite types. It rapidly became a hobby and obsession 😂 but you're absolutely spot on with your assessment.
I bought a Pakistan Mulberry from you in March and planted it. It’s been pretty happy all the way up until 2 days ago when all the leaves on the tree burned to a crisp. Ever since planting it’s been getting 3 gallons of water at 6am, 3 gallons at noon and 3 gallons at 6pm plus I hand water in the morning and evening getting it nice and soaked. This week I felt as if I might be overwatering it so I backed off on the hand watering but never touched the automatic watering. The root ball never dried out. Still on Thursday morning the tree was toast (literally). All the branches are still pliable but there’s no new growth (hasn’t grown one bit since planting). Is it dead? I’ve resumed the hand watering. My understanding is that you can overwater the tree? The guava I planted on the same day is growing like crazy and I’ve never changed anything about watering it (it gets the same amount plus hand watering and never dries out). Everything else in the yard is still going crazy like the bamboo and bananas. Any advice? Thanks!
Thanks for the info brother
thx u so much for the information. this was so helpful. i almost threw away my moringa tree. guess i will hold on and wait to see if it will recover. i just hit the bell, like, and sub. thx agian bro
If I have a south-facing slope varying from 5-20 degrees with ever-present pacific ocean wind (ten miles inland of Carlsbad, CA), would I have to do anything for wind protection? My hypothesis is some olhamii's would naturally slump down, but that many will grow upright if provided the right irrigation and understory despite the windy conditions. Thoughts?
Honest simple and clear
Awesome, I am in cape town south Africa, these tips will be a great help, thanks, regards
Is it ok to cover the area where the root starts from the trunk,I planted mine and that area is covered.My tree is still healthy and green!
I bought a white pakistan in France, it's clearly not from tissue culture, it's like a 7 feet straight branch that they rooted. It has lot of new branches but none of them have any fruits. Is that something usual for a first year? My main fear is that they sold me a fruitless mulberry instead of a white pakistan... Thanks!
