How do you get the tree established in the PVC pipe like that?

Y e s ! 🐐🐐🐐

It’s always been my understanding that you can’t feed black locust to sheep. What has your experience been?

🙏

What variety of Chestnut trees did you plant?

Your video is wonderful and very informative. I love watching your video. But you can not get organic view and subscriber. I have some suggestion for you

Stopped listening after I heard you talk about climate change

This entire series is gold

I raise American blackbelly sheep, and they are an incredible breed. Like you have described, they are nearly bulletproof. I heard of one experienced rancher who lost 5 out of 12 sheep (he didn't specify the breed) on a single day. I have raised hundreds of blackbelly sheep, and I think I can count on one hand the number I have lost due to illness of any kind (including parasites). Plus, their meat is the best I've ever tasted. I may be a bit biased, since they're my own animals, but I don't think so; it's just incredible meat. Lastly, they're so beautiful. Seeing them out on the pasture never gets old (I'm in my 8th year raising them).

Such a great system. I'm working on improving my chicken area right now with similar trees and shrubs. Let's get the jungle birds back in the jungle.

LOVING these videos, thank you

Nice. I came to a similar conclusion with my silvopasture. I’ve been feeding fodder for a few years, and it works well, just a bit labor intensive. I make biochar from the remaining branches.

Really appreciate these recordings, thanks!

I was still in the Stone Age before this series. Thank you! Very good job!!!

I need to know if Heartnuts leaf out later in spring and lose leaves earlier in fall. Like black walnuts do. Thanks!

Enjoyed your video. Do you have to let the seedling trees get to a certain size before letting sheep into graze? I was wandering if the sheep would browse & kill young saplings? Thanks For Your Time: Shawn

Why aren’t they doing adaptive grazing?

That's going to be incredible in a few decades - a locust and persimmon savannah! Also a fantastic foundation for a food forest

You tell us how good it is but you don't tell where to source the grow tubes?? WTF? A non-profit can buy in bulk and then sell at a profit if the profit is used to forward the mission of the non-profit. Same thing you can be an amazon affiliate and show us where to buy these. You are selling this idea to academics instead of farmers.. Farmers don't have time to research where to find all these thing.

How do you intend to protect your locust trees from boring beetles and cankers and root rot? Or are there varieties that aren't as susceptible?

Charlize is an impressive person. Between the farming, the art, the history, I could listen to her all day. ❤ ps: sweet sourland syrup is perfection. NJ produces excellent maple syrup.

Love it! Good work!

Are other species of trees considered in these situations? I know many species can be used directly as fodder by pollarding and controlled harvest of the leaves. What about nuts like chestnut (although the spiny casings would be a deterrent)?

Question - I am doing silvopasture with sheep in NW Alabama and the problem I run into is the volume of leaves in the fall that don't allow for good grass growth. You seem to have no problem at all and have many more trees than I do. How are you keeping the leaves from smothering out your grass? thanks.

My grandpas cattle would eat stilt grass. So far my dairy sheep have turned their noses up at it. It may be bitter though since it grows in a damp area of my property

Okay so I need to plant some wild rose then for a screen! My bamboo isn’t growing as fast as I’d like. Maybe I can find some privet growing somewhere to transplant.

Rocking it out. So wonderful not to see it sprayed. Thank you

Great video!

I need to know what’s up with Elderberry silage!!! I grow it, what’s the latest research?

Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Owls will eat rodents which host ticks and attract pit vipers.

Such a shame Elizas social justice BS really her hatred towards Europeans is text boom brain washed college kid of current Era.

How do you get the berries to the poultry before the native birds eat them

Do they have to deal with any tick issues? I live in a fairly tick prone area and would love to take thte goats for a nice forage walk.

Everyone should have goats in their lives! We have meat goats and dairy goats, nothing is better than products made from fresh squeezed goats milk, mmm mmmm good! Thanks for sharing, Jerry, The Ole Texas Coot

thank you for the playlist

That's lovely 😊

Do you worry about poisonous plants when putting the sheep in silvopasture? (ferns/false hellebore, cherry trees)?

You mentioned a talk about grazing in riparian areas, where could I find that?

Thank you for putting this introduction together. I will be looking for your other videos to get more details.

Excellent information. Many thanks

I am curious how you might approach older trees to begin harvest of fodder. Would it be easier to simply plant young trees, or would pollarding/coppicing an old specimen (lets say greater than 12" caliper) work? My land in central KS has many mulberries on the property, and also many volunteer that come up (I'm assuming mainly morus alba). I will definitely try the warm season cutting or layering methods. Great info! (BTW, mulberry firewood is also excellent-- relatively dense, splits easily, and makes a pleasant fire)

Seems like hogs are kind of anti silvopasture.

Hello. What are the white plastic tubes around the stems of the plant? Thanks!

Very good to see, especially that traditional hedgerow at the end. I'm trying to encourage more people to start growing a proper laid hedge, so I'll take all the examples I can.

These videos have been very helpful! Thanks. Here is the water data link: www.epa.gov/waterdata/viewing-waters-data-using-google-earth#Download

Great video and series, thank you all who are making it happen!

Great video, especially the drone shots!

Thank you for the wonderful series! It has been very useful for the planning of our farm :)
