interesting experiment with the fish tank - are there holes or cracks to drain off CO2 generated by the mycelium run?

You gotta keep your legs straight when your climbing with spikes. Keep the angle of the spikes going into the tree. If you bend your knees the spikes can rip out down the bark
Great video as usual! Btw, what are wood chips (like the ones you produced in the vid) called in Swedish? Trädflis or träspån? I tried to get my hands on some when I was in Sweden this week, but couldn't figure out what to ask for! I use them incessantly here on my London allotment. Love watching your videos, I'm learning so much about my home country along with everything else.
in a solid size permaculture operation like his. it would probably work out well. the problem with draft horses is it's a system. a system that has to be managed. below 5 draft horses your kinda just fooling with a hobby. above 5 it starts to make sense if you can find enough ways to use them. then there's training and so forth. some of the farms like Karl hammers operation a person who just deals with large animals like donkey training so forth. id go mammoth donkey before id go draft horse in most places.
Not in my mind. If we want to grow mushrooms in logs we'd cut the same trees. Here we're growing them in the ground instead. Plus we have a wider village desire to clear the peat bog and keep it functioning as a community resource....
Sorry, no. I have lots of gear, but I will never have time to record what we're up to if it takes longer than pulling out my phone. Not gonna happen...
There are mics that plug right into your phone, takes all of 1/2 second to plug in and maybe 2 seconds to place it where it can pick up your voice. But I understand if that is too much effort. I won't stop watching your videos but being able to hear you clearly would make them much more enjoyable to watch.
Also, I love it when you include practical safety tips in videos like the chain saw and chipper instructions
Fantastic videos Richard. Really appreciate all the time and energy you put into these.
Nice job......
I like the birch forest. What do you write on your hands?
Just put in my wine cap straw bed with some partially spent mushroom compost and limbs from the woods capped off wood chip

Richard needs to get him self a draught horse, it would make short work of those trees.

Did you get a decent mushroom harvest in the end?
I wonder if newly cut wood and it resin prevent/slow the mushroom from colonizing
Pine resin does
Love your vids, glad I found you, since I'm new do you mind if I ask where you are located, (what country mostly)
Read the description, follow the links...
absolutely love your videoes! one question, why is your thumb always painted pink?
It's nail polish my daughter put on me that never wore off yet...
it can take thousands of years for chaga to populate an area.
Richard I am from argentina, i need your book in spanish !!!!! please 😯😯😯 !!!! congratulation, your work is very good. sorry my english is not good.
I think your English is VERY good!
awesome!
yes!
Nice job, but I can’t help but notice you have a large crew to pay, unless they work for free?
Probably a bunch of interns
draft horses would work good here.
Ever considered a draft horse on the farm? :D
Meagen Ruttan not really a value added option. we have 2 and they take up quite a bit of resources.

Pity using such fine wood for mulch.

these are fast growing timber products. no reason to sweat as they are usually apart of the first series of successional forest growth.
Richard, please get a remote mic. I enjoy your videos but really really dislike the poor consistncy of audio.
Sorry, no. I have lots of gear, but I will never have time to record what we're up to if it takes longer than pulling out my phone. Not gonna happen...

If you use headphones, you can hear everything perfectly. And it takes even less than it would take him to plug in a mic.
