So i can no longer harvest dandelion ?

I don’t understand why content creators visit people and then they talk themselves the whole time and don’t let the visitors talk

“Weeds are really just flowers once you get to know them.” -Eeyore, Winnie-the-Pooh

The previous owner of my home put loads of gravel on the clay to walk on without slipping. I have been sifting it out. Wood chips work better to make non slip paths, and I can still get a shovel in at any time of year. Even if you do trip and fall, wood chipped pathways are the best place to land, and trees and shrubs can use the new soil beneath them.

I think of the wood chips as a liquid: small fibers are continuously breaking down and flowing off the chips, falling down to meet the earth and being digested. Meanwhile, the largest wood chips float on top of the smaller particles beneath them. On the surface, it may look like nothing is happening, but the flow is happening continuously in slow motion. Any time I have larger chips (chippers vary) I may sift out the large chunks to use in pathways, letting foot traffic break them down. In my area where rain is seasonal and not reliable, I do need to irrigate with special attention to getting water beneath the wood layer, especially if the chips have been baked dry on top.

Sorry, I haven't been following you, you may have answered this already but what are nitrogen fixers? I know what you mean by fixing nitrogen, but examples of nitrogen fixers that you would plant would be what?

Fabulous video. Thank you. Going to take care of our community orchard a little bit. Its plenty of things growing in there alright 😂

love the subject, couldn't watch the presentation, painful

I have two nectarine trees that are now 4 years old. They have not produced any flowers in the spring yet. What does this mean?

So, to get your soil working again, you need to cut the forest next door to provide the 30 cm of wood chips.

The only time I pick dandelion is to eat it. We have a bunch of them in our garden. And they kind of took over with other weeds. We're going through whatever is in the garden bed right now and I decided I would take clean over all the dandelions. Because I'm the only one who actually eats Dandelions the house. I am also the healthiest member of my Household.

I pick the heads and mix with a strong alcohol and make a tincture the alcohol also helps me know the mix is sterile and then the roots can keep adding nutrients and aerating the soil

Dandelions don't think, and they don't care what You think. CYA I'm done

Amazing video! I love dandelions. I use the flowers for many things like tea, salves and tinctures. The stem milk is good for healing bug bites etc., leaves for salad, and the roots are great dehydrated. Every aspect of the dandelion is healing for our bodies and our land. Thank you for this video and I hope people will learn to love these beautiful plants. ❤

Have you read the any of Olav Hauge? He was a writer and apple orchard farmer from Norway. Interesting fellow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Excellent channel. Very inspirational and informative. ✌️

Native or not, Dandelion is the first source of nectar for our beloved bees. I love Dandelion.

can i atleast eat them?

How do you find cultivars that work great in clay soil? I've never seen this information online. Zone 6, if that matters.

I wish i could buy a dvd with all your fantastic videos

@ User yv5….. yer right. he should said DONT KILL EM. But his 💖 is exercising 💖

My Neighbors have a very Dear Relative has SURVIVED CANCER ~~ a young Mother. My Neighbors are bright, active, BUT HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION TO A LAWN CARE Co. i have many dandelions. There should be an emoji of DANDELIONS. IM THINKING OF PLANTING A SIGN IN MY YARD STATING THAT WEED SPRAY KILLS DANDELIONS - but not all. AND WEED SPRAY KILLS PEOPLE BUT - not all. [the survivors do get hurt though] Such a sign on my lawn would. BE CRUEL. PEOPLE DONT KNOW: Jesus said “Forgive them Father bc they don’t know what they’re doing. “

I love the dandelions. Thanks for this lesson.

2:53. Then pick native plants that serve this function. The good it does will be negated by the bad.

Thanks for your good videos. I need to know where you are from ? Grafting In July or august may be altogether different. in your part of the world than mine. I am on the west side of Washington state, USA. I like the ida of grafting in July & aug. though. Thanks Ernie

dandelion flowers are delicuious :>

I like Dandelion because it indicates adequate Potash reserves in the soil.

This was excellent... I so want to take the master course. I love Stefan style, presentation, voice tone, and enthusiasm. What a permaculture sage 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

True farmers like this man are the saviours of this earth!

oh i know now😊❤

Id love input on do you give up flavor for disease resistant cultivar ?

I’ve added Goumi berries of different varieties with my fruit and nut trees. Maybe that’s an idea. I believe the Frankea bacteria fix nitrogen.

We love you Stefan!!!!!! Nova Scotia

Thanks!! I was wondering because I have sandy soil.

I like your videos and re watch them all time when have a thought or question. I know you more or less go 1 variety on trees you have graphed nut I was just wondering of you or others had input on my trees I top worked. I converted 2 Bradford pears to fruiting trees. I have 4 or 5 apples and that many different pears. this is first year to start fruit this fall be 3 years since graphed but these trees are growing at a rate of 6 feet and more a year. since I did several limbs this growth makes it near impossible to trim to any shape and pears now are arching down. apples bloomed and are starting to produce only a few at this point but am I ever going to really have any fruit at this growth rate? graphs done this spring end of April have grown 2 feet. I am forced to cut a few limbs because some are starting to break and droop badly. have not heavy trimmed again but when do I get double new limbs considering a heavy prune now to try and get form back (such as crossed limbs and such) anyone have any ideas on what I should do ? at this point am thinking have a growing tree to keep future graph stocks but do not need any more trees

Please 🙏

I love this lovely flower. They are not destructive some peoples it’s leaves in a salad.

<<Bows Low>> 🙏 😎 🙏

My problem is the city where I live, you must mow your yard or they will come and do it for you and charge you a huge sum of money. So we never get the beautiful yellow flowers, only the leaves. We do not have grass. We seeded the yard with clover. But we still have to mow it. We have 3 acres in town and we plan on trying to seed one acre with wild flowers that naturally grow in our area. We do have 2 people in town that have done this in their yard so they do not have to spray chemicals or mow. It is very pretty. Will be talking with them this year to get tips and tricks for next summer.

Don't forget a early Frost

We eat the tall asparagus! I want to try the short, I bet they are delicious!

Interesting.

😮😮😮😮 my three year old little sister even picks them😮😮😮..... 😢srry

Is it worth it to feed the birds during summer? I don't want to mess up the ecosystem or anything.

I like the way you made this video circle itself.

I works wonderfully for berries. I propogated my thornless boysnberry that way. What a great idea to give some to your neighbors to get less birds.

Third Summer on our Land. We plant trees so far without perenial between yet. Your #3 mate me urge to plant between trees that are alreaydy there before plant more trees. It make sens. Thanks, love your videos!

I have just discovered your videos, very informative and so fascinating. A question please, does strangling dog vine have any benefits or should I try to pull all out. Thank you. Liz

Good morning Stefan, you mentioned that you had a hazelnut tree that wasn't as immune to filbert blight as expected. Are you able to divulge the cultivar? I have the Gene and Carmela cultivars and really hope those aren't the ones you've had a bit of trouble with..

I never heard them called dan-dee-lion. People in New England call them dan-duh-lion. But to each, his own.

✌🏻👼🏻🤟🏻
