ITS LIME TIME!

- Well, I got the soil samples back from the Luverne Farmers Co-op. In this video we take a look at the Soil sample paperwork that I got back from the Auburn University Agricultural Department. Is the news good or bad, what do you think? We look at how I divided up the property that was being sampled. How much phosphorus, Lime, Potassium, do we need in each area?
We see the Co-ops lime trailer, the loader, the spinners; you'll see how they load the lime and you'll even get to see some of the lime being spread by the industrial sized 5 ton spreader.
Also in the middle I'll give a bit of an update on the farm, what's going on and a bit about the saw blade I am using on the Husqvarna weed eater; to go after some big 2" diameter weeds. By the way there are some drawbacks to the saw blade and I'll talk about that on a different video.
So if you are into do it yourself or DIY, building things, workin' on a farm, homesteading, clearing land, transforming raw land, workin' hard and seeing this old guy almost kill himself in the process, this channel is for you.
I live in Los Angeles in Pacific Palisades and I'm trying to start a pecan orchard on my families raw land in Rutledge, Alabama, 2,000 miles away... and it aint easy!

It's like my lawn spreader on steroids! Glad to hear some trees are doing better.
It's HUGE! Trees are hanging in there. Although this year, 2023... I'm getting killed with the weeds again. We were supposed to Bushhog this week but we have had two tractors out of commission so until they are back up and running... the weeds will continue to RISE!!
When I go back in November I will be able to prune the trees for the first time since they were planted. That will help them really grow. Or so I am told!
Those first few years are when you train the tree to grow the right shape. Very critical.
And it’s important to identify diseased trees and clean your tools after pruning those so to not cross contaminate
Yes I have to train a good central leader. But the main reason I am doing it is because it will stimulate growth. Also cutting off dead weight, unwanted or unneeded branches allows the tree to focus its stores of energy on parts of the plant I want to encourage to grow. So if your tree stalls out and isn't growing it might just need a pruning. First few years I am working on Root, Shoot, and then Fruit. ROOT - working on establishing a good solid deep tap root and surface root system. SHOOT - Getting the tree to grow straight up and establishing a good central leader and a few branches with nice strong angles. AND FRUIT - by the time the trees are starting to fruit hopefully I will have trained a good solid base of a tree to support all the weight of those nuts!!
