Please upload an update on the trees. Very educational project! Thanks.
A piece of pvc pipe put over the end of your drip line will work as well then it is easier to remove for when you get any built up in the line so then it can be flushed. Love the videos has given me a lot of good advice as I also live in Tas.
Great set up. Looks good... also I can’t help looking at that wonderful soil you prepared last episode. Looks brilliant.
Love the way you framed the plastic. That was very clever.
I also appreciated seeing you install the irrigation. I need to set up something like that, but was a bit overwhelmed. I feel like I kinda know what I'm doing now - off to Bunnings on the weekend 😀😎
Mulch instead of irrigation. In hot weather you need to reserve clean water for yourself instead!
@@svetlanikolova7673 uh thanks for the tip, but I'll do both, thanks.
@@thedragonflygirl77 okay good!
So have you had any avos yet? I'd like to grow some but "they say" you have to wait 7-10 years to get fruit. And I live in a heavy frost area (in my opinion!)
Great work, hope they take off well, need seasonal updates on them
Its Nice to see avocado trees. Tip if you can find Mexicola and Bacon variety they are cold resistant up to -8 degrees by adult tree and are A and B type so you don't need to hand pollinate. In the Netherlands i can only buy Hass variety so i try seedlings. Good luck, and greetings.
Yes absolutely worth the effort.
If you crimp the End with Multi grips you can get the cable tie a lot tighter. I love your show by the way. I'm a Tasmanian gardener too and I'm getting a lot of good tips from your vids cheers :)
Very nice build
Thank you for sharing a great video I learnt so much! We live in the desert we get a lot of wind a lot of heat and we have fruit trees we need to protect. We are also thinking about how we're going to water all these fruit trees and your video helped to solve those big issues. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information, I found it quite useful.
I'll be interested in your video on the Timer for the water system. I will be putting a water system and Timer in my garden shortly. Thanks for the video.
How did you get avocados plants in Tasmania is very cold there. I live in Sydney and I had five avocados plants and all die in the winter time and I did put them under shelter from the frost I give up now. I wish you all the best Hope you get nice and plentiful Avocados
Ever think about inter planting with coffee plants ?
Thought about it, but not sure if I can get them here.
What do the temperatures get down to in winter there
Were we live it would rarely go below 0, but maybe the occasional -2 Celsius.
@@homesteading so the frosts are deffs much more severe up here then.. with a minus 14 last winter.. My avocado has pretty well gone bonsai.. true, the leaves are all tinier and its growing up here its fourth year being brought inside for nearly 5mths of the year and still going ok but severely stunted - so not growing it for fruit now at all, growing it to see what happens.
Hi there, I live in metung which is in Victoria east Gippsland I tried to grow an avocado tree which came diggers I lost it to frost how are your plants going and what do you do to protect then considering Tassie weather is similar to ours
Time will tell how my tree go...winter hasn't started yet! But we are sheltered by the forest and don't generally get heavy frost. I have read that wrapping newspaper around the trunk (at the base) will help...as well as covering them.
@@homesteading cheers love
One year on, can you give us an update?
Nice job, is a doorway a topic of another video?
No, have sufficient access from the north side for now.
If the tap root hits clay with avocados
They will die
Something to consider
hi mate, will the top cloth resist the snow?
Snow? Not likely to be any snow here!
@@homesteading no snow in tassie?
@@gillessellier1451 It snows inland but not so close to the coast. 😉
@@gillessellier1451 No Snow where Mr Steed lives
@@DangerVB funny, when I lived in Aussie land everybody said that tassie was very cold and covered in snow most of the time, I suppose Queenslanders never go down there.
Can I ask what the hell you did the middle 35 years of your life to be able to live on such a property?
I'm still in the "middle 35 years" of my life :-). What is now is not what was. I purchased our land for the price equivalent of a car when no one wanted it. The last 20 years of effort have made it what it is.
