So appreciated for all the information 🙏🙏❤️

Wow. This is definitely a big gold nugget of wisdom. Thank you Stefan

Got me worrying for the second! I think dandelions brighten up the yard, but the one time I want to remove them to make dandelion tea, I see your video pop up!

I live in Denmark, which has a huge amount of soil that is clay with small rocks. I was thinking of digging down about 1 meter (using machinery), then putting in a 10-20cm layer of either gravel or sand for drainage, and then filling up the hole with the soil again and planting my fruit trees. Do you think that would work? We do have some orchards in the area, so i figure they must be able to grow in the clay somehow. Thanks for all the info :)

Hi Stefan....what do you think about pruning down the determinate potato plants...theyre getting too tall again. They grow up to 3 plus feet then they all fall over.Theres no flowers yet...just want to know if its ok to prune them down abit. Looking for this info from anyone who might know.

Disease resistance is very good. I swapped out Bartlett pears for Moonglow, warren and Kieffer. Fireblight is nasty. Something also to consider, flowering time in many climates. Example, here in Missouri, peaches can get frosted off. So I made sure to get mid to late season trees to avoid that. Sunglo nectarine blooms are frost resistant too. Just something to consider. I've planted about 90 trees and 30 cherry bushes. Cherry trees can crack, but bushes don't. If you're looking at tart cherries, juliet bushes are nice.

Nature also dont dig holes to plant a tree then why u dig ?? Amend the hole with nutrients gives intial boost to plant and its not a bad thing।। I irrigate with flood system and if i put all amendmend on the top it will flow away with water

Didn't watch, nothing wrong with comfrey, gardeners have used it since forever. Go read a book!

Thank you! I just bought a dwarf Chojuro Asian pear and I'll be using these tips! Best tip you told me: Put up a guard. We have lots of rabbits and they took out my young Honeycrisp apple several years ago, just chewed it up and killed it by girdling the trunk. I cannot let that happen to my Chojuro -- it wasn't cheap $$

Thanks for your informative and engaging videos. I always learn from and enjoy them.

a great abundance of everything except weeding. bravo!

Can I train anytime of the year or is there a season??

Thank you.

. . . he said don't pick dandelion but he is on camera with a handful of picked dandelion, credibility just went to zero

Question: Is there recommended method for planting fruit trees in dark, rich and heavy clay soil?

When he says he maintains 6 arces by working 4 hours a WEEK implies he has no employees. I rhink that is deceptive AT 0:43

The only problem here with long grass is snakes and tics

Amazing info

I have sandy soil, and I amend my holes with carbon (peat, compost or anything else i can get my hands on) for water retention and nutrient retention, since I dont have a drip irrigation, I dont have the time to go watering all the time.

Many thanks Stefan :-) GREAT summary of 30 years of hard earned experience :-) Best, Richard

What is your recommended watering system? Can you leave a link please?

Very interesting. I just planted fruit trees so will definitely keep this in mind as I begin the pruning process. You are so correct there are many different approaches to pruning.

trees don't even root in the fall... they root in the spring when they come out of dormancy and the soil is soft from the spring thaw. try trimming your shrub cherries in the spring before they come out of dormancy and just stick the twigs in the ground... chances are they'll send out roots when they wake up. worked for my evans cherry. a lot of the things you're saying just sound like regurgitated nonsense TBH. :/

all I have is frost pockets and poor drainage... don't tell me where I can fruit tree!

The only thing i disagree with is the when in doubt space them out. I personally go with the when in doubt double down. Which means i plant even closer together, with the plan on removing or transplanting every 2nd tree when they fill out enough to encroach on each other's space. More work in some ways, but the higher density seems to work well for me

❤ the info! A very spot on video! Thank you!

Thank you Stefan. I do love your tips and avoid mistakes videos the most❤

your best video to date - so informative. well done!

Thank you, Stefan.

Much of what I learn from you deviates from what I learned in the 1970s, but your methods seem to produce a far greater return on investment. One trick I would recommend to all is to plant lots and lots of MINT. This'll help deter field mice and moles and seldom chokes out other plantings... (Greek Oregano will however).

THANK YOU!

Great information. Thank you.

Wonderful video as always.❤

You have so much knowledge. I remember asking you a few years ago about trying some temperate climate apple trees in my sub tropical central GA. You said don't bother, but I decided to try. Of course you were right, and none of them did well. Most of them are dead or barely alive.

Thanks for all the information you put out. It’s been truly helpful. God bless

I stopped half way through the video to say that it’s the best explanatory video I’ve seen

Defend yourself ants

I used to collect yard weeds and burn them - now I leave them on the lawn and let our lawnmower mulch 'em, feeding our lawn all three growth seasons!

I love dandelions ❤

We have a water willow; I am 100% going to try this!❤ (Gonna test this on house plant cuttings hehe.)

I only just learned this year that lighter coloured (and often fuzzy!) leaves = more drought tolerant. (Examples: mullien, batchelor buttons, California poppy, lamb's ears - this latter is a surprisingly impressive plant when it blooms because it has bright PINK flowers!) Darker coloured leaves: more shade/low light tolerant/deep forest! Examples: monstera, raven ZZ plant.

You can also use dried woody stems as plant stakes; I find irises, sunflowers, and hollyhocks to be really great for this!❤

Beautiful video

I'm absolutely going to try these!!!❤❤❤

Thanks for the love <3

Your advice doesn't work if you live in a subdivision where everyone has a lawn service that "gets rid" of all weeds! I take care of my lawn & don't use any pesticides. I do dig up the dandelions because my neighbors will complain if I don't .

Non native dandelions are weeds, plant native dandelions not European dandelions

So when actually "time of year" do you harvest rootstock?
