I love your circular irrigation system. It's like a work of art.
It really is cool to see. We get so used to installing them that we don't pay much attention to it, but seeing it in the video after the fact it sure does look pretty cool.
I use the same rings in our soil here in Vegas and it works great. I have more sand and less clay that is typical, so mine rings tend to drain quicker, so I compensate with using 2 heads at opposite sides. Allows for more spread of the water. The rings are perfect to the fertilizer this time of year too. It works folks ... even in smaller spaces. Do it!! :)
And this is why we encourage folks to reach out to you in NV Kevin.
Your tree planting holes are so well-planned! I've never thought of having _two_ watering trenches around a tree, but it makes a lot of sense.
For newly planted trees it really does help. Especially in the areas where we have several trees on the same irrigation zone. This way we can water both up close when needed (I.E replacing a tree) and also further away for larger trees.
Deep mulch is key especially in the desert
No doubt about that!
You have such great soil compared to where I am. I'm all rock!! It's next to impossible to dig into.
I have to admit, as we hear from folks all over the world we realize it's not nearly as challenging here as some folks have it. Rocks are just a pain all around!
I'm also in the high desert in CA. The houses were built on a small hill, so in order to make the land flatted, they bulldozed the surface and removed the topsoil, exposed the rocks underneath, although the topsoil was not much better. Digging a hole is back breaking and needs several days with the help of pouring water from time to time. It's like banging the concrete. I tried to dig big holes for the fruit trees and amended the native soil with good soil , but in the past they did not thrive and dead after a few years , probably because I didn't mulch them enough and the trees were small and root-bounced in pots already from the nurseries ( the tree in this clip was very small too). The tilled ring in this clip is a great idea, and I'll make sure I'll keep the mulch thicker this time.
Our soil in southern Utah is similar. The silt has settled into concrete hardpan with a touch of sand and rocks mixed in. Our local nursery told us to sprinkle gypsum in the fall to break up that layer and then wet the soil and drain before digging.
It's made a horrible job planting a lot less horrible.
Excellent video. Every day we are learning from you and Ms. Lori. Raspberry Latte Fig is expensive .
Hey there Abid. Thank you for always being so encouraging to us. Even when we're not talking about jujube trees! 😉
Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍
Merhaba Mesut. Yorumlarda her zaman burada olduğunuz için tekrar teşekkür ederiz!
Were are you at in the desert in Az ?
We're about an hour NW of downtown Phoenix, about 15 minutes outside of Surprise heading towards Wickenburg on US 60/Grand Ave.
Maybe you’ve covered this before but don’t the wood chips use up available nitrogen as they break down? I know you’re adding the fish emulsion and B1 but do you add extra nitrogen too?
I think I need to re-do how we did our fruit trees except I have mine all planted in gopher cages. The gophers and moles here are horrendous! Should I build a small irrigation channel outside of the cage?
We get that question a lot in regards to woodchips, but there are no issues there as long as they remain on TOP of the soil. The only place where nitrogen is taken up is at the point of contact with the carbon (wood chips). Gophers and moles, that is a REAL challenge. If you're having to cage them out I would do as you're suggesting and put that ring just outside of the cage.
Thank you so much for putting out such fantastic videos! I took this information and modified it to our property that has a 4% grade. Open swales on the "high" side to catch the water and used an inner ring to keep water off the root area when we get monsoon downpours. I think it's going to work great so thank you for the idea!
Great way to take an idea and make it your own. You'll have to let us know how it works for you!
Aloha from Hawaii…
I feel dirty saying this but your soil looks gorgeous 😂
I have to admit, coming from a Hawaiian that is a HUGE compliment! Mahalo brother!
I love my fig trees. If you guys want a cutting from my Little Ruby fig, just let me know.
They really are amazing trees. I just love the way they look once they've leaved out completely in early Spring!
I think your planting design is the best.
Also the whole farm is very strategically organized. I always like to see drone shootings.
Waiting for spring to see new growth and animals.
I wish you to have more subscribers. Both of you deserve more appreciation from the audience for your work, dedication, entertainment and sharing knowledge.
I'm watching your content for a long time. Your channel became very special for me.
From grateful Ukrainian viewer with love
I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the content and watching along with us as the farm starts to come to life. It's comments like this that keep us sharing everything we have going on here! Also, we're praying for your homeland and brothers and sisters on both sides. The loss of life is just devastating.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm
Thank you for the support. We have dark times. Your content brings light to my family's life. I and my wife watch your videos with pleasure and inspiration.
I can't tell you how much I love this channel. 🥰
Aww, thank you for always being so encouraging to us! ❤️
It's always good to see a new tree going in. That keyhole irrigation system is genius. Donno about latte, but raspberry always sounds good!
The pineapple guavas from Planting Justice came yesterday. They're 2 feet tall from the top of the pot and husky, healthy, and wow! I'm very happy that you set me on the nursery. One is Unique, and can't remember the other right off hand. An hour ago that un was put in at one end of a bed with a red flame grape on the other end, and annuals (fava beans) inbetween. 1/4 cup of 5-1-1 fish emulsions in one gallon rain water.
The trench was dig down 3 feet, 3 wide, and 25 long, backfilled with tons of logs, brush, leaves and always a lot of coffee grounds. Why dig a trench? Tohono said to! Aside from that blame it on all those evil coal miner's genes from both side the fam.
The grape has 18 inches of shredded palm leaves on it, and bone black for phosphorus. All the cast ironware was burned off, and a bushel of dried bones with it. The whole garden got some but it should have been done in the fall, not February. niio, kids!
You'll have to let me know how those Pineapple Guava do for you. The Nazemetz that we've had for a few years puts on a good amount of flowers each Spring (and they taste wonderfully sweet), but no fruit yet.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. Your beautiful farm will be even more impressive with your hard work & care as time goes by. I especially feel so good about all of your animals living in a great environment.
The animals are so very important to the life on the farm here. We have plans for at least a couple of new additions this year that will expand that a bit further.
Sounds tasty.
We're hopeful for this one. From what I understand it's similar to a few of the other "berry" type figs we have here on the property. Fingers crossed!!
Thank you for explaining it very well
Glad you enjoyed this one. We get a LOT of questions on planting trees, especially this time of year!
I like the name of the Raspbery Latte Fig planting! So interesting to watch how you plant and prepare the soil for water/irrigation. GoodLuck, excited to see the bearing fruit result~!
We're keeping our fingers crossed for this one as well. Even just a hint of raspberry would be a win for us!
only thing im curious about is HOW OFTEN do you water? nice setup and finish but how ofetn you water until its established and how long that takes are key. especially w everyone complaining about water usage here in the sonoran desert right now
We don't water figs at all during the Winter months when they're dormant. The only exception is if we get no rain at all for at least a month and then we'll watering sparingly to keep some soil moisture. Spring and Fall it's once/week. Peak of summer before monsoon it's twice/week, then back down to once/week.
Show some after (like two years later) the result of plAnting bushes and trees like that with birms please.
All of our trees here on the farm are planted with this design. So if you take a peak at our intro to this episode (the flyover of the farm) you'll see all of our trees at 2-4 years old. They are doing FANTASTIC which is why we continue to use this design.
Love your channel but the fig trees are likely to do well, even without careful planning.
No doubt, figs are a no brainer for us here!
Raspberry latte figs sound delicious!
This one definitely had us at the name. Hopefully it has the raspberry notes we're expecting!!
Traduzca al idioma español , porfavor ! ❤😅
Sí, necesitamos hacer eso, pero puede resultarnos muy costoso pagar por ese servicio y no ganamos tanto con nuestros videos de UA-cam.
Hmmm raspberry latte fig? I may have to find another planting spot! Watched the planting demo carefully. Much more prep on the irrigation than the hole. Our alkaline soul in s Utah is devoid of anything but silt and rocks so i did plant in wider holes. Just starting to drag the hose around for a second watering this month. How often do you fill your trenches with water? Dragging a house around to each?
Most of our trees are on automatic irrigation, this being one of the few exceptions. This will receive irrigation once/week during the growing season and up to twice a week at the peak of Summer before the monsoon season kicks in. That is pretty much the same for the vast majority of our trees here on the farm and all of our other fig trees as well.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thanks so much for the reply. I kind of fear the summer, but it's all an experiment in my second year here.
Beautiful soil, ready to plant!
It's amazing how this soil comes to life with a little mulch and moisture!
I am not sure how many varieties of Figs grow in my zone... we had a horrible Ice storm this year while I was south in Mexico for 2 months, Just waiting to see how many fruit trees and different plants were affected as March started out with SNOW! Thanks for showing a proper planting! :)
You didn't mention what zone you're in, but ice storms tell me you must be below zone 9. Many varieties are good down into zone 7, but too cold and they die back to the roots (or further if your ground freezes). You'll have to let us know how they do come Spring. Fingers crossed....🤞
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Yes they tell me I am in 8B I need to learn more about it, because I am always trying to grow things that belong in a warmer climate such as Moringa trees, Mamey Sapote, Papaya, and Mango trees... All from seed so when they get a couple feet tall it's time for the first freeze and guess what??? Yup If I don't get them indoors in time they freeze! :)
Look into Chicago Hardy gig and violette de Bordeaux
EoNF is the BEST!
Thank you for that, it made our day! 😊
please kindly plant in circles of 8 or 16 trees, with one single impact sprayer in the centre middle
That's an interesting concept. I don't plan on putting too many other trees into the ground here, but maybe along the back of the property with desert adapted trees.
Is it ok to cover the trunk with mulch?
We don't worry about it here, because we irrigate away from the trunk and we're so very dry. In areas with higher humidity and can be a real problem leading to decay on the trunk.
