At the beginning of Your Video I thought that I knew all I need to know in producing Food. I was wrong. Some of the info You have given will be very useful for Me. I am now retired and am experiencing the joy of Propagating and growing many Fruits and Vegetables. Well done Lad. Keep up this important work. Again...Thank You.
Great video! The only thing I wish you could have done is show how you planted your fruit trees in raised gardens. Do you plant them in the ground and just apply the wood and mound dirt around them?
Oh my goodness!! You have a lychee tree, pomelo, banana, pomelo, papaya, soursop, grapefruit, apple 🍎. This puts a lot of gardeners to shame. Please make more garden videos!!! PLEASE 😩😍💕💕
Thank you for this video. I'm subscribing for your gardening 😊 I love how many fruit trees that you have growing, and they don't look crowded. The diversity is beautiful
Thank you very much, Yes put your raised beds in first, cover your grass with cardboard then add the soil, Plant your trees without digging into natural ground and plant them high in a slight mound as they will drop over time, stake them well and they will grow really quickly as their roots have all loose soil to grow through, so if the roots can grow really quickly the whole tree will grow so much quicker
OH WOW! What a great idea! Like a double storey bed. My husband built one for me shade loving plants as a experiment, Its under the Pride of India tree. For growing an Avocado tree, what an awesome idea. How do you fill up the double bed. Do you first put rotted branches in the bottom to create good drainage? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Hello from South Africa 🌍🇿🇦👍👋
Hi, I put some bricks and brocket terracotta tiles in the bottom, I didn’t dig a hole as I didn’t want any water to pool any where, I didn’t use any branches etc because I didn’t want the soil to hold any extra water or any chance of mould growing under the soil, I just wanted good drainage more than anything

Thank you so much for your tips on planting. I live in Melbourne and struggle to grow avocados. They are in raised beds and they keep dying off. What do you feed your avocados, and what am I doing wrong please? I plant all fruit trees along my fenceline as well. I felt like I was looking at my backyard ❤
Hi, thanks, You may not be doing anything wrong with your avocados, they are just a very temperamental plant to grow, I put broken bricks and clay tiles underneath my avocados this time also to help with drainage, and I never dug a hole into the natural ground as this is a place where water can pool, I mainly just feed my plants, lime for calcium, dolarmite for magnesium to help with uptake of nutrients and minerals, and just a charlie carp and seaweed liquid fertiliser, and just really try not to water them as much as anything else in the garden, Bunnings does sell a phos acid treatment for soil to stop the disease that kills avocados, you could also try using that, most commercial growers use a phos acid treatment as a preventative on their trees to help prevent root rot,
@@robbymillsfishing5290 I’ll try these methods. I only use organic matters, and don’t use synthetics. I’m on the Mornington Peninsula beach area, and the soil is clay, but I’ve always topped up with good quality soil. I’m learning and I’m following you for tips as you are very knowledgeable. You have mastered the art of growing fruit trees from your fails. Thank you for this information which I’ll start applying. Bunnings here I come again 👍
Hi thanks for your question, I put the raised beds in first then I planted the trees in position, I didn’t dig down into natural ground as I didn’t want to create a spot where water would sit and pool, but rather run sideways and disperse evenly, I mounded up the soil in the raised bed around the tree when planted so I could plant it as high as possible as over time the tree will settle down and drop down, this way the trees roots are all in the soil you put in the bed so it the roots can grow really quickly hence the whole tree will grow at a rapid pace, I hope this makes sense 😀
Hi, im just using dynamic lifter and a liquid fish and seaweed fertiliser, when it gets old enough to hold fruit I will only use a phosphorus and potassium fertiliser otherwise they are prone to drop all their flowers and fruit if you use nitrogen fertilisers around the fruiting stage
Hi , I used special stainless steel wire with crimped on eyelets and a turnbuckle one end to tension it, then I just put a a screw through the eylets into the steel 40x18mm that I previously screwed to my timber fence,
Hi, I had the avocados in pots for 2 years and just kept cutting them back to keep them small, they have been in the ground for around 18 months now, they both should get fruit this year, they both set fruit last year but only the hass kept 4, this yyid say they will both get quite a few fruit, star pickets are a steel fencing peg that normally you would run wires through their holes to create a fence, they are very strong and very hard steel that you can’t even drill through, you can get short ones also for holding garden sleepers in place just like I have, I have screwed the sleepers to the pegs
My sister gave my mum a avocado she grew from seed. Mum put it in the back yard, plenty of sun and it did not fruit for 10 years. EVERY year after it’s fruited and yielded easily over 60 a year. One or two years the fruit all dropped off and didn’t mature but it’s amazing. She didn’t have it in a raised but I can see why trees need to be raised for better success. In the ground they can really go crazy. All fruit trees takes patience but that’s why ppl get grafted trees. Love your garden!!! Thankyou for making this video and love the guided tour and dialogue. Your pomelo tree. Seriously this like walking through a Viet garden. Awesomeness!!!
Its just simple, timber sleepers screwed together with pegs on the inside to stop them from moving and screwing also to the steel pegs, the timbre is H4 Sienna treated pine, which is safe for growing vegetables and fruit trees
Here in south east Queensland it doesn’t get too cold, a few light frosts over winter and a few nights over a few weeks getting down to around 5 or 6 degrees Celsius, so just mild winters here,
We are in Australia so we don’t work off zones here, we are in Northern Brisbane which is a sub tropical region, so we don’t get any snow here just a few mild frosts in winter

@@thembisilemashinini8655 thank you 🙏
Very true of Avo's. The don't like Wet Feet at all. Must grow in a raised bed, area or mound.
Una bella bendición ❤ my winters may get snow but love to see those awesome creatures growing
Wow what a beautiful garden thank you for sharing I appreciate your expertise God bless you. 😊

I recently tried this in Melbourne and my panama berry tree grew 6 feet in one season
That's great to know I live in Albury ❤
Thanks so much I’m going to try what you’re suggesting and I’m excited 👍
Thank you, wishing you the best
I'm jealous. Your garden is amazing
Thanks very much 🙏
Looking great. Useful information regarding the avocado tree.
Thank you ☺️
Very good can you break down what you put on your garden bed please from soil to mulch

Wow! Your trees look beautiful! Also, what zone are you growing in? Thank you so much for the info!
Im in Australia here in a subtropical region
Impressive... good idea.. What is your location?
Thanks, North Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 it’s subtropical here
Sure, raised beds are great AND it looks like you’ve got some seriously good alive soil going there in your beds! 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hi Robbie, did you plat your fruit trees on the raised bed or you made raised bed after planting it?
Hi thanks for your question, I put the raised beds in first then I planted the trees in position,
I didn’t dig down into natural ground as I didn’t want to create a spot where water would sit and pool, but rather run sideways and disperse evenly, I mounded up the soil in the raised bed around the tree when planted so I could plant it as high as possible as over time the tree will settle down and drop down, this way the trees roots are all in the soil you put in the bed so it the roots can grow really quickly hence the whole tree will grow at a rapid pace,
I hope this makes sense 😀
Nice info thanks for sharing,,one question are those raised bed open or closed from the bottom,,??👍🇮🇳
Hi, they are all open, it was just lawn, I just put brown cardboard down and my soil straight on top of that
@@robbymillsfishing5290 hi thanks for the reply ,,happy growing,, 🌲
Your lychee and soursop tree looks so healthy compared to mine here in Texas.
Mmm wonder why?
very nice...thank you for your tips.
Thank you ☺️
What kinds of fertilizers are you using? For the leech tree.
Hi, im just using dynamic lifter and a liquid fish and seaweed fertiliser, when it gets old enough to hold fruit I will only use a phosphorus and potassium fertiliser otherwise they are prone to drop all their flowers and fruit if you use nitrogen fertilisers around the fruiting stage
Very interesting❤❤❤

Nice
That was so cool 😎 awesome
What hardware did you use to secure the wire to the iron bar on your trellis you have the passionfruit on?

What are star pickets? How old was your avocado before it started fruiting? How old is that tree?

@@Evelynmay88 thanks very much 🙏
What state are you in?
In perth we have sandy ground and the advocados suck the water up alot
Im in south east Queensland, there is a lot of clay around here, so easy to lose avocado trees here
I thought so I had heard clay soils rot tree roots easy. We have to add compost to retain water so they don't die of thurst haha
@@owendorron4709 haha, yeah
how did you make your raised beds?
Its just simple, timber sleepers screwed together with pegs on the inside to stop them from moving and screwing also to the steel pegs, the timbre is H4 Sienna treated pine, which is safe for growing vegetables and fruit trees
thanks
how cold are your winters ?
Here in south east Queensland it doesn’t get too cold, a few light frosts over winter and a few nights over a few weeks getting down to around 5 or 6 degrees Celsius, so just mild winters here,
Do u have to spray the papays?
I only use a half strength mix of lime sulphur 3 or 4 times a year just for black spot,
which country sir???
Australia 🇦🇺 Southeast Queensland
What zone are you?
We are in Australia so we don’t work off zones here, we are in Northern Brisbane which is a sub tropical region, so we don’t get any snow here just a few mild frosts in winter
oh cây trồng rất tốt😅
what kind of wood is that
Hi its a sienna treated H4 pine sleeper, should be easy to get and suitable for vegetable gardens, non toxic
Raised Beds
be careful with wood chip. will pull nitrogen out of the soil. nitrogen to carbon ratio should be around 30 : 1. fresh chip is 500:1
Thats why I use old dried wood chip, and keep my nitrogen fertiliser use often, iv never had a problem
