    Great message to give viewers that plants don't always work out. But having a diversity of plants and replacing with new things is 'natural'.

    Right now I am in the process of transplanting everything I have in the ground in pots in preparation for the big move. What move? So glad you asked...
    Father let me know it is time, and I have said good buy to this installment of Yard Farm here in the middle of Tucson, AZ. We do not know when or where we are going, but that is on His desk; not ours.
    The fun part is this. I have simply covered my soil with yard waste (my wife's yardwork company saves on dump fees!) and woodchips for a few years now. I raked the mulch aside to get soil to use in my pots. I transplanted (one of the many that day) with soil from my front yard here in the hot Sonoran Desert, and the very next day I came out to see 4 beautiful mushrooms standing up a few inches!
    You know I was happy!

    Great video, as usual!
    One of the lessons I've learned in the past few years is not to remove the "dead" trees the first year. In my experience, about 60ish percent come back from the root the following season. It seems to happen semi frequently with young Saskatoon (service berry) saplings.

    We grow a lot of stick trees at our place, along with rocks and clay. Our nitrogen fixers do great along with our comfry. The rest is a struggle. Fixing to do some more soil testing to see what's off.

    PIMP Master Billy, awesome video showing people that success is built from failure too. I'm continuing plugging away at the homestead, and slowly things are taking shape. In the back of my mind I keep hearing the words of a great perma culturist, the battle is won in inches not miles. God Bless from TN.

    Billy, I overestimated how many pawpaw seeds I could plant. I have extras, and they are supposed to have superior genetics. They are supposed to be understory trees. If you want some, and/or if your son wants some, the price is right. I just want them to have a good home. 😁

    SUPER happy that some of the strawberries and hazelnuts I planted last year are still alive at my remote cabin site. planted 1 comfrey a couple of years ago, it is still kicking. now there are 2 comfrey in that rocky soil. some of the sun chokes appear to be doing well also. not sure they will be able to spread much in the "soil" that is similar to a neglected gravel parking lot. I'll be contacting a local stable to see if I can get a load of horse manure.....yes, I know....."ALL THE DEWORMER AND MEDICATIONS" I bet things will grow better in that than in gravel.

What a great reminder that plants die sometimes, but its not the end of the world, mistakes can be corrected, doing something good now is better than waiting for perfect, and to always keep plant multitasking and the big pictures in mind. All things that are figuring prominently in my tasks for this month!

    I need to learn what Nitrogen fixers I can use here in Western WA zone 8b. For now I just plant green beans and peas near the trees but I want some shrubs or trees that are. I'm expanding my Grocery Row Garden every year. Next year I'm adding stone fruits like nectarines, peaches and maybe apricots. Rainier and Bing Cherries as well as more blueberries, gooseberries, red currants, Oregon grapes (basically blue berries) and even cranberries in the lower area closest to our pond. Where the shade is mostly there. So excited for what my future looks like thanks to you guys and so many others I follow on CZcams for the inspiration to go big with little effort.

    I have 3.5 acres in southeast Tennessee that I really need to get started on. I just have no idea where to start. So in my confusion I’m just going to have people dump wood chips and spread it all over the place. I figure at the very least that might help me gain some soil and fungi.

    • @TheHappinessOfThePursuit
      @TheHappinessOfThePursuit Před 19 dny +3

      Dig a hole and look at your soil layers. Easiest next step, find existing local species that are native and usable, propagate them around. Then add as needed. The wood chips is a great first step, like building your canvass and frame for your painting.

      My property was an old farm but there is a lot of compacted soil and a very thin layer of actual soil above clay. Very few trees on the property so not much mulching has gone on over the years. That’s why I figure I’ll just keep letting the hay grow out and then cut it and leave it to compost and dump wood chips wherever and whenever I can. I also have a bunch of those pesky pear trees on my property and I’m thinking I can probably graft apple onto them. I figure why cut them down when I can use that prolific root system. But hey at least I have a couple free range leghorns roaming around and pooping. One step at a time indeed.
