    Good scientific info. So glad i have sheep on my farm.

    I’ve only got an allotment with fruit trees, so no sheep, but I have spent the last few days looking back through your videos to see how I can do things better. Thank you!

    Thank you for posting the video. I am planning to set up a regenerative orchard with sheep. A couple of questions: Did you make the tree guards yourself? Will they have to be there permanently or only while the trees are young? Is manure/urine from sheep only source of nitrogen? I am puzzled by grazing only 2 x 50 days a year? I assume it to be a question on land size vs number of animals? Here, there are no regulations as long as they get what they need. Parasites can be kept under control by subdividing and shifting. Thanks!

    If I make money, I'd like to send you some amazing things and ideas, your video proof of high protein nitrogenous growth has aided my theories and I believe many whom I've sent this video proof, with timestamps, to. Thank you again but I truly do believe sir that that isn't good enough and that you, and those working to aid you, deserve much more. I hope you're able to have, at least that, soon; much sooner than later. Thank you again.

    Hi I have some cherry and plum trees in the orchard, along side apple and pear tree, .
    My question is Cherry and plum tree leaves are safe for grazing animals ?
    Thank you

    Polysaccharides, possibly fungal polysaccharides, could possibly account for the result of your type of scientifically explained farming giving the plants more cold tolerance. If I forget, please remind me to link a video with a time-stamp to explain where I can recall learning this.

    Brilliant video thanks. Is it OK to graze the Orchard very bare, I am feeding the sheep hay and hard feed and feed blocks, and the trees are very well fenced. The ground is free draining and stays dry.

    • @chilternheritageorchards

      Thank you. We can only graze the sheep for a max of 100 days per year under our Organic Certification Standards. The sheep are in 50 days max in November and back in 50 days more in March. We often remove the sheep earlier than that if the grass is not very plentiful.

    Hi is it safe to have cherry and plum trees, with sheep?
    (The cherry tree varieties are sunburst, kordia and Regina.
    The plum tree varieties are Cambridge green gage, Excalibur and opal)

      Yes we have many stone fruits in our orchard with sheep. Keep the sheep out during fruiting until November.

    Hi
    What about having a flock of chickens in the orchard?
    I suspect they eat a lot of malicious insects, but they might also eat the beneficial ones and have a negative impact after all.
    What is your opinion on this please?

    • @chilternheritageorchards
      @chilternheritageorchards  9 місяців тому +1

      Yes short term say a couple of weeks could be useful. Longer stays raise nitrogen and potassium levels and can destroy grass. There needs to be a rotation plan for all grazing. Sheep are in our orchard 50 days x 2 per autumn then early spring.

    How old the orchard has to be, in order to let the sheep in?

      If you guard the trees properly you can have sheep in from the start. See our other Sheep in the Orchard video.
