Morning Sky Nursery in Morris, MN. I just purchsed some new jersey tea plants from them this summer.

my neighbour was going to burn his brambles but I managed to save the brambles and put it on my dead hedge and on my stream bank to reduce soil erosion and increase nuitrition

Gift one, but don't of us can't spare the space. The point of clearing the brambles is to make room for plants.

amaZing that you're planting the Lemon Balm 🌿🌱 🍋 by you're pond in replacement for grass ❕🌿❕🌿❕🌿🌿💠❕🌿🌿❕❕❕❕

Hi could you update us on its growth please. Really interested in how big it’s got

Thank you!..our Shepherd puppy has already gotten the trunks of 2 young trees 😢

I came across you when looking for something else and stayed to listen. Quite fascinating, I am sure I shall be returning to broaden my education. Thank you

Oh thank you, this is so timely and succinct. I am in a cold, windy, industrial-agriculture zone 6, in Michigan. I've ordered two heartnut trees from a father-daughter nursery in Ontario, Grimo nursery, and the baby trees are due in next month. I've already scoped out companion plants that will tolerate juglone, although I do not have relibale information yet as to how much juglone are in heartnut trees, relative to our native Black Walnut, which can be a real deterrent to most fruit trees and garden veg. I do know Heartnuts are Japanese natives, and as such, are relatively pest and disease free here in the US. I am making up for planting non-native species by seeking out native 'plants of merit' for companions, including Paw Paw, cornus, sycamore, catalpa, and elderberry, for nice beginnings toward a food forest and wildlife santuary. I am paying close attention to your surrounds and have pressed the subscribe button to see more. I have the recommended soil and high water-table conditions for the new Heartnut trees, all the boxes are checked except for the protected location, as I interpret to mean wind as their growing conditions calls for full sun. I recently discovered the very old practice of dead hedges and I am thrilled, as most trees here are either short-lived blue spruce for windbreaks or silver maples for shade trees, which have terribly invasive root systems and the habit is to drop sizable branches all around. This is not so much a negative feature now as it makes for filler for the hedges. There is always a silver lining. I see I have a not-so-succinct comment to your wonderful video. I am paying close attention to the spacing of your dead hedge to your tree. How large do Crabapple trees grow in your region? The heartnut trees are calling for 40 foot spacing. Not sure I should make the dead hedge as close as yours is to the Crab? Or is this a non-issue, as the dead hedge will be long decomposed before the tree grows too close? Red-twigged cornus shrubs grow wild here in boggy conditions, so I could sacrifice a windbreak made up of these shrubs, and remove them as the tree grows closer. Now that I have shared so many details....have you any futher recommendations for protecting the new trees? One more question, I have many larger logs from removing failing blue spruce around the property. They are cut fairly short, yet stout. Can I use this larger material in the dead hedges I am planning for the perimeter boundary, as a separation from the fields and all the poisons used there. Many kind regards, Lynn

Hey Jake. It's already beautiful, so it's going to be amazing... I can see it almost!!! Do you plan on a fundraising page going up somewhere soon? Exciting! Chuffed you have your site sorted! Happy New Year! x

Wouldn't trust it. Bit of wind and that roots gone and touched the ground and rooted again somewhere else..

"promosm"

Nice one! Wildlife loves the dead hedge! Robins, wrens and voles etc great for insects

Thanks you sir !!

I was hoping to find information on plants native to Wales as I wondered what they would have eaten in Celtic Wales and Briton as a whole really interesting and helpful video! 👍

I got one from a store in late 2018 in its signature sapling teal christmas tree form from my parents that was probably 1.5 feet tall at the time, planted it in one spot away from my dog on a hill(my dog was digging at its roots in the backyard) that winter before and then in spring of 2020 planted it back in the backyard and currently its taller than me and my dad so probably around 6.5 feet tall now. (hes 5'9.5)

Lovely and informative videos

Hi, good to see you. I just love natural paths or "desire lines". Great to incorporate the fox ones.

wonderful project!

It looks like a lot of work but it will be worth it ;-) Good luck 💚

Yup. Thank you for sharing ❤ My garden is a hot mess! I also tried to do everything at the same time. I’m impressed at how quickly things are getting reined in. Docks and poison ivy are next on my list. Managed the brambles yesterday 😂 you are not alone!

Very beneficial for all types of small wildlife. Perfect to get rid of old branches.

Fukin chemtrails

I hope they keep doing fine. Such a beautiful pine tree and I've planted them myself (in The Netherlands). Also, no problems with the winter over here it seems, but Ive heard - strangely enough - that the stone pine is more winter hard compared to other southern European species. According to my and your experiences thus far, that is the case. Anyway, thanks for posting this excellent video. ~Marjet

It works & it's a wonderful environmental ambiance vid!

nice - i need to give you a shout for something similar - will be in touch!

Shady spot, best bit of garden for people in these hot summers.

The term for both male and femal flowers on the same plant is monoecious ("mono-E-shus"). If they are separate, such as on stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), the term is dioecious. We are fortunate enough not to have rabbits or deer to worry about in our corner of the world and have happily planted without guards.

Wow they like their blueberries

Very informative - thanks for sharing 😊

Interesting thanks. Need to start thinking about rootstock.

Great tip about using the existing fencing, i’ll probably use something thats available in the woods for posts

Great video, thank you. I’ve asked the local park rangers to leave me the branches of trees they are clearing and I’ll go in to create some dead hedging to aid wildlife

Eventually!!! I had a hard time trying to figure out the difference between "hide" and "freeze" all layers. Thank you so much!

Did you invent the name 'Nativars'...or is that for real? 🤔 Good idea to split the plants to create more. Will you use labels for plants in the gardens, if so which type, or will you be supplying the owner with a detailed plan to keep? I have no luck with labels at all.. and I'm hopeless at remembering which plant was put where, until nature's into something recognisable. 🙄.

😇 Wow, brilliant to see the level of documentation - so much learning will be possible about successes and failures - great work!

What an exciting, not to mention HUGE project! Looking forward to seeing how it develops! 🤗🌳🦋

great video as always - keep up the awesome!

Interesting. Thank you.

So sorry you have been unwell Jake. Hope it passes very quickly and you aren’t left with any long Covid effects.

It would've been nice if you'd spent more time in this video on sharing actual design ideas, like sketches, references and the like, rather than on discussing software. I was really hoping to find something on designing a challenging cliff top garden.

Interesting

Ah bother! Missed you by half an hour. Thanks for sharing this design!

Love walking in the Fishguard area, Gwaun Valley. Steeped with history and old connections with nature..like your friend's forest garden

Great video, thanks! Do you have an update on how the plants worked out in your tapestry lawn? Can I ask why you didn't plant them directly in the ground? I am planning on creating a tapestry lawn for a customer, for the first time. I've not found any suppliers of plant tiles, and don't have the capacity to grow my own, so I was thinking of doing a combination of 9cm potted plants, and seeds. Could potentially be quite expensive. I hadn't considered plugs actually, so could be another option. Would love to hear how yours turned out.

I just found this via a search on UA-cam. I downloaded the resource and it looks wonderful. I have a very small back yard but this will help maximize what can be done. Thank you for sharing.

Very interesting, watched the whole video

It's a labyrinth, rather than a maze - there's just one path and it leads to the centre.

Yes yet another spring drought here too. That's 3yrs in a row.
