    Hey Billy! Just wanted to say I love shopping with you guys. Ordered 10 comfrey cutting, received 13, can probably halve them. And I get a personalized thank you note. You guys are the best. I love planting part of your homestead on my homestead.

    I have been doing the coppicing method for over grown shrubs and trees for years, we call it regenerative pruning in the tree biz. This is a great way to get of rid of disease and destructive insect infestation from mature plants, and the extensive root system that is already established allows for an amazing recovery . Thanks for sharing with use !

    Hello Billy. We have found that the honey locus aren’t nearly as resilient as the black locust , here in Kentucky. The honey Locust seem to take a few years to get established. The black locus are definitely more of a workhorse. It’s too bad. The black locus have so many thorns. It seems like they do grow . out of the thorn phase when they get older. Good information on this video. Thanks for sharing.

  • @threeriversforge1997
    @threeriversforge1997 2 місяці тому +3

    This is basically why I recommend planting native grasses like Panicum virgatum around the fruit trees. The deep-rooting nature of the grasses builds up the soil as the plants sacrifice about a quarter of their root mass every year, and that allows air and water to move through the ground more easily. On top of that, because they are mining so deep into the ground, doing God knows what, their above-ground mass is thick with all sorts of nutrients we never think about. That makes it some of the best mulch and livestock fodder that you can possibly hope for. We don't know what they're doing with those crazy deep roots, but we know that plants like Echinacea pallida, Panicum virgatum, and Andropogon gerardii are doing something amazing. Plant them around your fruit trees and you'll see the fruit trees benefit. And when you cut the dried stalks down at the end of winter to make room for new growth, you've got gobs of nutritious mulch or feed to use around the homestead.

    I've got two things on my land that people stress over that I'm planning to use to my advantage, and I'd like to know your thoughts on. I've got Kudzu, which I've eradicated most of by forestey mulching my field and manually cutting large vines, and I've got Tree of Heaven popping up everywhere. As Kudzu starts to pop up here and there, I just cut it and put it on my compost pile. Eventually the roots should starve of energy and die, but in the meantime I've got excellent food for my compost (and my chickens too). I'm thinking of doing thr same thing with the Tree of Heaven. Let it grow and leaf out, and then cut it and add it to my compost pile.

    • @PermaPasturesFarm21

      Absolutely! This only provides immediate nitrogen fixation until the trees grow up. Eventually, the nitrogen fixer in the same hole will die with continued coppicing.
