    • @nuttygnomehomestead

      Usually the plants will start setting flowers quickly if they are mature enough. I have used it on 2 African violets, but a little goes a long way.

    To keep Deer away from any garden or orchard just run 30lb clear mono film fishing line about 18 inches high off ground. Then about every 8 ft tie on 1 foot of surveyor ribbon. they slow down at the ribbon and can't see the fishing line. When they touch the fishing line it freaks them out and they will not pass, and cant jump what they can't see. I have used this for years without any deer what so ever come into my garden. Thanks for the planting tips.... Kevin

    I have similar set ups and all my raised beds, but I will say the different technique I use is not too warm the tube with a lighter, I typically bring out a cup of boiling water.. outside of that difference I’d say you and I run similar lines

    • @nuttygnomehomestead

      Yes, I have seen the boiling water trick too. Anything to soften up the plastic so it slides on the connector easier. These systems are very convenient!

    • @nuttygnomehomestead
      @nuttygnomehomestead Před 3 dny

      Gentle scratch a branch and see if it's green under the bark. If not, it's probably dead. We do not use synthetic fertilizer in/on newly planted trees as it will often cause "fertilizer burn" and stunt or kill the plant.

  • @brendaAmerrick
    @brendaAmerrick Před 3 dny

    Never leave the walls of the hole slick and smooth! You can use your shovel or spade to cut slices that will give the roots a starter slot to move out rather than going in circles. I also the spike side of a mattock to stab into the wall and then pry back just until I see the soil crack and lift a little. More pathways for roots to get through.

      My Meyer lemon produced the very first year. However, to help establish a good root system I picked all the fruit off the first year. This allows them to establish well into their container before they begin to set fruit.

    @SilverStarEagles Před 8 dny

    Have you ever had an issue with the tree becoming root bound in the hole with all the loose easy soil? Do you have experience with it eventually breaking through the clay soil? Logically, it would make sense that the roots would eventually branch out and go through the clay soil to avoid turning on itself and dying.

    • @nuttygnomehomestead
      @nuttygnomehomestead Před 8 dny

      No, many of the trees in Our orchard are going on 10 years in the ground. We have even dug up and moved a couple of the trees. Yes, they eventually expand into the heavy clay soil.

    Make your own tree tubes with clear poly roofing, two sheets drill small holes down each edge, wire or zip tie together. Any size tree tube you need. For deer get the Orbit motion activated sprinklers around perimeter (and a trail cam because deer reactions are cartoon level hilarious). Add 2-3" of mulch on top of soil, your trees will be very happy.

    It's a myth that synthetic fertilizers are a "salt" that "depletes your soil over time". This myth was started by the organic gardening blogs and channels (who create excessive excessive myth content sprinkled with truth in order ot sound trustworthy, but whose ultimate goal is to make money from you in one way or another). By and large, home gardeners and even some market gardeners, are largely an unscientific bunch that do not verify the BS information they are fed and propagate these lies as quick as kudzu takes over a landscape. This is what you call "the rabble" and that is one of the functions they perform in the world - spreading misinformation they are fed by their masters. The use of the term "salt" in many compounds such as fertilizer does not mean the same thing as sodium chloride (aka table salt aka NaCl) or even road salt. The only "salt" that the rabble understands is table and road salt and these will indeed deplete your soil and harm it, potentially to the point of making making your soil infertile. But synthetic fertilizers are not table or road salt and do not kill soil biology (nor are they toxic to plants or humans), but they don't add much to the soil because they are designed to feed the plants, not so much to feed the soil microbes. They are great to use and safe to use and are faster-acting, though. However, organic fertilizers are still good to use, especially granular ones, because organic fertilizers feed the soil microbes that break down the fertilizer to make nutrients available to the plants. This means they do not feed the plants directly and thus are slow acting from a plant standpoint, but they are great for soil biology in the long term because they "feed the soil", not the plant. So by all means, use organic ferts, I encourage it. But if you want quick nutrition, supplement it with synthetic ferts because it's not going to kill your soil lol. But they could potentially harm or kill plants if used incorrectly and/or in excessive amounts, so you'll have to use your brain a bit more when using synthetics. Good luck with that, y'all.

      We harvest 3-4 times off of the plants and then we let the remaining beans dry on the vine. I want them almost leathery when I pick them. I'll let them dry another 2 weeks in a barn/garage/greenhouse and then shell the beans. I keep the biggest and best looking ones for seed.
