    Can we use freshly cutting wood or only dry wood require??

  • @jimsmij
    @jimsmij Před 27 dny

    seems the one mistake people make with these is not having enough soil covering the wood. you'll need at least a foot (30cm) deep of soil covering any wood. #permaculture

    I suggest after big logs are placed and several branches placed, filling in as you go before completion of branches to keep from collapsing... just a thought.

    I was thinking about using something like this on either side of a path. Yje path floods a bit, and I want to find a way to trap/absorb that water instead of letting it run off. A lot of permaculture focuses on water retention. I liked this video because it felt like something I could use in my design - or at least gave me some encouragement.

    Black Locust contains even more allelopathic substances than cedar or pine. Don't put that into the mound if you want your plants to survive. I've read that aged pine is a valid option.

    • @ChavsADV
      @ChavsADV Před měsícem

      I think you mean black walnut. Black locust is a nitrogen fixing tree. Black locust does an incredible job of smothering out herbaceous plants by seeding itself into a dense shrub like hedge and smothers out grassy leafy plants.

    • @ChavsADV
      @ChavsADV Před měsícem

      @@chuckbailey6835it’s possible but I differentiate between honey and black by the thorns and fruits. If it has tons of thorns and thorns in the branches I figure it’s a honey, if it’s only got a few at the trunk I figure it’s black. If the fruits are long a figure it’s honey and if the fruits are only a few inches long I figure it’s black. Where I live we have much more black locust and it’s often on wooded edges and it’s definitely a heavy thick hedge around the edge.

      you're not understanding the part where the wood is deep, well below the root zone. If the plant roots are coming in contact with wood, youre doing it wrong. You can use ANY wood that you have. USE WHAT YOU HAVE. Also,people shouldn't truck in wood from any distance. if you are, youre missing one of permacultures main points there too. #smij

    My wife keeps going crazy at me for picking up logs like tree ferns, eucalyptus ( gum tree ) branches / logs etc after storms when I see them on the side of the street. She complains about the ants / termites in the car ……. In my defence I point out how many frogs / slugs will enjoy such lovely homes. After watching this I now know there is a name for this Aahhh…..

    The vast majority of vids produced by extensions have very poor sound quality. I don't understand why. Perhaps the eggheads spend more on their education than they can afford and struggle with servicing their student loan. Therefore no money for a decent mic and a little sound damping material.

    23:05 Spray your house and wooden structures for termites. I don't understand why people would treat their yard for termites. They don't disrupt living wood. They are underground so you won't see them unless they spawn. There are at least 3 or 4 colonies in my yard (I have a few acres). I have never had a problem with them being there.

    • @AndreaDingbatt
      @AndreaDingbatt Před měsícem

      @Giganfan2k1 Ive got to agree with you here, 100%!! ~The termites do a fantastic job of Helping to break down the wood thus making it far more Bioavailable for the Plants that people are growing,,, Living in the UK now, so there not a problem here, but I have lived and worked in other countries, and to be honest Termites have proven to be a Keystone species providing food for all kinds of birds and other wildlife!! They also help the soils Micro biome in so many ways, that unless I was living in a log cabin, with wood furniture, Etc,,, I absolutely leave the little critters to go about their business, as theyre awesome and fascinating in their own right!! a Fascinating example is the fact they have Air-Conditioning the mounds they build, also keeping the internal Temperature and humidity healthy for themselves, all without harming the Planet we share, humans would do themselves a favour to Observe and Copy so much more from the natural world. (Instead of trying to kill anything that they dont see as being useful for themselves...) I was told by a very successful Permaculture Farmer in the US that the only time Termites were ever a problem, they were an indication/symptom of an underlying inbalance but Never the Cause!! Fortunately folks are now starting to see that nature is a far more complex system that should be worked with, not fought against!! (That is a fight doomed to failure, as Im certain humanity is realising nowadays.) **Please excuse the over long reply, being concise has never been a strong point, according to my poor longsuffering husband!! Best wishes and kindest regards from the UK. Andrea and Critters. ..XxX..
