I could find them like this when I was younger, but I've only found 2 in probably a decade. MS sucks.

@@TR1P0DL1F3 When you find one 4-leaf clover, keep searching in the same patch. Most likely the stolons are connected.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thank you!

Inspired by Sepp Holzer, I wanted to do it without liners. The person I hired to help out told me it can't be done... Looking back, he was selling his liners!

Glad you like them!❤❤❤

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi, I set it up in July 2021. In Apr 2022 I decided to remove it from the main tree. That was about 9 months.

@@44LBS ok thanks

The best!

Thank you!

Food waste or smell of food will attract rodents. Just make sure its in a compost bin that they can't access. I have 2 green bins that the city provided for my yard waste. I don't put it out to be hauled away, instead I throw everything that's compostable in there. If you have something you can drill a drainage hole or install a spout, it's best. That way you can collect and use the rendered liquid as fertilizer.

Thanks!

So many years invested! We need to make plans for the next trees...

I'm always doing good when I'm in the garden!

Not many are aware of this day. I just recently discovered it. Doing my part as a citizen of this planet : )

Show all assets clearly 😍😍​@@44LBS

I hired him assuming he was legit after hearing him brag about being certified by Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy. He showed up the first day with a car full of men that he picked up from Home Depot and instructed them to dig a hole, then he left for the day. I realized I made a big mistake. I could have done that myself without being specialized in pond making! He used scraps for the underlayment, the bottom was not completely covered. I have it on camera. I don’t have time now but when I do get the chance I will figure away to redo it myself.

So sorry to hear that.. it happens to us all at some time in our lives. . But don’t worry .. this will just be a bad memory which will eventually fade and be replaced by a wonderful natural ecosystem full of water and life …. Good luck.

Hi Deborah, yes you are correct! The big leaves get very heavy and the young stem can not support its weight. It’s a good idea to cut back as this will encourage multiple branch growth from the sides. I did not cut mine. I left it as is. The plant died back at the top from transplant shock. It has recovered since then. I do plan to get some scion and graft on the tree in the future.

@@44LBS Thanks for responding so quickly. Can u plz expand on what you mean using scion and grafting.

@@deborahsimmons3370 Scions are cuttings of live plants. They are usually 4-6 inches long and the girth is the size of a pencil. Most growers will acquire higher quality avocado scion to graft meaning to attach the cuttings to the seedlings grown from seeds. Many growers have experience poor quality fruits from trees grown from seeds so this is why people like to graft. Lots of videos out there you can search and learn more about it. I have not done a video on grafting but I have successfully grafted a magenta crabapple onto a pear tree, just because I wanted to do it!

You're welcome!

I don't understand your question. If it's in regard to these seedlings, it'll be another 8-10 years before the tree bear fruit.

Yes, the pond is still here. I will make an update video when I have the chance.

Just saw your message. You can find these almost in any water way. Especially now that we are in a drought, the receding water have exposed these clams where you would never see them before. Go to reservoirs. Thats where I find them.

Thank You!

You are so welcome!

Hi Geno! Yes, I agree! The children had a fabulous time.

Angela Schmidt Hi! It’s Rio Vista Delta.

Hi, I'm glad to see this. Could you please share the exact location?

@@DaneSavot Hi! The San Francisco Bay Estuary is flooded with Asian Clams. I don’t know how to tell you the exact location of this one spot that we found but it is along the Delta in Rio Vista north of the bridge. If I was there now, I'd send you my location via cell phone. They thrive in sandy, muddy bottoms so look out for that. When you’re scouting make sure to find a safe area for the kids as the water is known to be quite dangerous. People pass by on jet skis, boats, etc and makes big waves which can pull anyone under. Good Luck. And tell me about your adventure!

Hi Stan! It's ~ 10'x33'. We started digging ourselves then hired a company thinking they'll have a professional team... The contractor arrived with men from HomeDepot to work and left the scene. I gave away free money to the middle man when I could have done that myself! Contractor persuade me to get liner (it was easier for him). Originally, I wanted a natural pond, the Sepp Holzer style. Yes. Bass, Rainbow Trout, Blue Gill, Cat fish. Raise for food. But I'm Vegan now. I still have the options when it comes to survival. I should have noted that these plants were offered to me. Lotus pond is at a wedding venue. Owner wanted it out because in the winter it is not attractive and brides don't want to take pictures with a sad pond.

@@44LBS Thanks for the answer. I paid like $50 for less Lotus then you had in that bucket years ago. I don't have a pond anymore. Wish I did. 10x33 is huge for a backyard pond..do a video on it. I would watch!

Stan TheObserver I’m renovating the chicken coop right now, securing bottom and all around to keep predators out. Once I’m done, I’ll get an updated video on the pond out for you. I should be filming this project as well! So much to do, I just want to get it done.

Greedy pine is long gone. The pine beetle got to it. I was told to keep it in a spot with morning light and afternoon shade. I don't want it near my neighbor's fence, they might complain. I'll scout for a new location for it where it's safe from frost. Thanks!

@@44LBS You were given very bad advice. Mangoes love the hottest,burning spot you can find..and water them well in summer. I worked in Horticulture and don't mind saying.,nobody will correct me they like it hot!. In fact since growing them in Hayward since 2006? plant more than one. It's going to be a decade wait for one tree to have many fruits..so plant 3,4,5,. In full sun!

@@StanTheObserver-lo8rx Yes, I plan to get more. I wanted to be certain that they survive in my location. It's been 3 yrs now. I will get more ASAP.

The last Mango killing cold for young tree's was 2007 and maybe 2012. Its been good ever since. In 2012,I threw plastic over it on sticks and put a light bulb..incandescent in there on an extension cord. That tree was perfect and right now is 12-14' tall. The best time to plant a mango was 20 years ago- wink (old saying)..so enjoy the fruits of your labor faster with more tree's. Don't have to be the same variety. Glenn,I hear is very good in the bay area and Baileys Marvel is a FAST grower for a mango tree in the bay area.

Stan TheObserver Thanks! Those two varieties will be on my list!

Thank you!

Salt water is to preserve the fruit. Sugar and pepper flakes were added for additional flavors and to give it a kick.

Hi, I am experimenting. I hope they thrive so that I can harvest when I do want to eat. Clams have bivalves which allows them to help clean and filter your pond water. I will do a follow up video of whatever the outcome will be.

@@guest2115 I've been absent from UA-cam.... So the update, the raccoons had a delicious feast and left the empty shells for us :(

@@44LBS That's probably for the best, as Asian clams are considered an invasive species in the US. (Plenty other parts of the world, too, but I digress.) You likely could've gotten in pretty serious legal trouble if you'd gotten caught introducing them to a new body of water.

You're so sweet! Thank you for the kind words and THANK YOU for subscribing.

@@44LBS no problome! :>

Thanks Wendi!
