All About Trees - Back to Eden Garden - L2Survive with Thatnub

[@jamesprigioni]

Great video. Thank you, both of you guys for taking the time to answer all these questions.

[@GloriaBerrisch]

I just love your videos, thank you so much for sharing Paul's gardening wisdom. Please tell Paul I really appreciate taking his time to answer your questions and I am sure lots of gardeners do.

[@GrammyGinger]

Thanks for these videos. I enjoyed meeting him but driving all the way out there is difficult at best. He's a wealth of knowledge.

[@MrCasMac]

Another great q and a. Always look forward to these videos

[@hsjacobus]

Ah wonderful. Thanks this answered the question I had about wood chips around the tree base.

[@SirCracker]

I just ordered a signed copy of going to God’s Way. I will be visiting Paul in July. Hopefully he’ll be more than happy to sign it for me as well

[@smaritegreencheek]

Yeahhhhh!
Can't wait to see the nursery video.

[@andseraf8544]

Awesome to see the dog lay in the ground behind Paul

[@SuperPenguin5495]

shut the fuck up

[@pvtrout]

Thanks

[@LisaBevill-ProSinger1]

Did you ever make it to the garden center and have Paul pick out trees with you?

[@bevyh1]

The man is amazing.

[@LarryCWitte]

YES < Thank you for your effort young man , I look forward to your video's . I have the back to eden DVD but it did bring up a lot of questions for me , you are knocking them down one ? at a time . keep em coming young fella . grin

[@LarryCWitte]

I should have mentioned that i have watched the DVD over a 100 times .

[@L2Survive]

Larry C. Witte I think I have seen the whole film once. It left me with too many questions and missing parts to what Paul does for me to watch it again. I get so much more from going to his house and talking to him. There was only about 30 minutes of Paul actually talking in the B2E film. I have over 10 hours of Paul talking on my videos and I still have questions. It is really nice to live so close to him.

[@LarryCWitte]

Like I said , you are knocking them down , one question at a time .
But the dvd is a good film and well worth the money , i think the girls did a good job on it , but focused to much on the family in Penn .
I wish they would had spent more time on Paul's garden and orchard .

[@jimsmij]

Thatnub: "Your killing me." Paul: "I'm sorry."
LOL! Hilarious!

[@busker153]

Transplant shock -- fact or fiction? I think it is fact, from things you have said. The bugs got something you transplanted, until it took, and they left. So, should one wait for any transplant stress to disappear? Or, does pruning help them overcome the shock? Hmmm... That last idea just came to me...

[@gregjohnson589]

I planted 4 fruit trees in February of 2014 and 2 did not make it and the nursery sent me 2 more. The only problem is it is June. Can you plant a tree in June and have success. They are apple trees.

[@mynameisjo1949]

Did I hear Paul say in a video somewhere that he puts deisel on his tree roots? I bought land that's totally grown up with trees and bushes, I'm trying to figure the best way to go about this. Talking about when I cut down a tree.

[@onthepath2809]

Leave the roots. They will break down and help build your soil

[@SirCracker]

what are very good questions you ask Paul this time. I went back in June this year 2 Paul's garden and the one question as I was halfway down the highway heading away from his house that popped in my head was what variety of apples would he suggest that last the longest throughout the winter? there was an apple that he brought to one of the guys that was going to be at the tour it was huge. The guy never showed up and so he handed it to someone else who had a knife and cut it up into lots of little pieces and spread it around throughout all the members of his tour. I don't remember the name of the album but it was absolutely delicious. Paul is my garden hero. what an enlightening fellow.

[@bz-storm8055]

Hey, Nub: Can't wait for February -- please get that bare root tree selection video edited and up ASAP! I can only imagine how many people want that info. I have a brand new B2E cover awaiting its first planting and want to get 2 or 3 trees in. The goal is to get at least *some* fruit the first year. I'd really like to prove a Doubting Thomas in the neighborhood that B2E is the way to go! He's a forester and when he saw me putting in the cover, he said it's going to be too acidic to grow anything, then just walked away shaking his head. This guy works himself to the bone each year keeping his garden....

[@L2Survive]

Paul called me the other day to say Merry Christmas and to find out when I wanted to come up again. He is doing his pruning classes next month on Saturdays at 11AM. I might go up in a couple of weeks. We also talked about picking trees in February. I told him how excited you were to get the video up.

[@bz-storm8055]

L2Survive Thanks for the mention to Paul. BTW, I've made a request via Craigslist in Salem, OR to meet with other B2Ers and maybe make a trip up to meet with Paul (and you?). So, if anyone in the Salem area wants to share their B2E efforts in a group setting, search for "Back To Eden" in Craigslist to get in touch with me. Thanks again.

[@L2Survive]

Fred Garvin If you or any other group wants to meet me up at Paul's place, let me know a few weeks ahead of time and I will try to get the time off to see you there. Also, if you would like for me to visit you and your garden or bug out location, I would love to see what you are up to as well.

[@uniqueboutique7233]

I was wondering can you ask Paul, do His dogs dig up the onions as I heard onion is toxic to dogs.
we got eucalyptus wood chips found out they're toxic to dogs so had to not use near dogs
thank you for doing this
God Bless you

[@manusia3057]

I have small garden Nor so big just for service for my life.

[@StreetBoi69uk]

What was the other nut he said he could grow? Walnuts and...?

[@cherrydowns7745]

I think it was filberts?

[@mikelgpinc]

Air layering , would it work better using the eden method ?

[@gregjohnson589]

Nub, I just bought 5 acres and it is all field grass and wanted to know if I should plow the ground up and then lay down the wood chips or simply mow the grass short and then do chips.

[@L2Survive]

Greg Johnson Mow short and drop woodchips deep. Paul started with 18" after he planted his orchard.

[@armyguy9735]

In Japan, they hang, in plastic water bottles, wood vinegar. In Tokyo, they have very little trees and the birds roust in any tree they can find. They poop on the cars, sidewalk etc..They discovered that wood vinegar stinks and they hate it. So hand wood vinegar in your trees to prevent perching. Just an Idea. Love it

[@growingyourfoodinyourownba1221]

I have a crabapple tree in my backyard. If I want to reduce the size of the tree, would I have to prune back more of the center and train the lateral branches to grow low and horizontally? I have a lot of suckers that are coming up from the base of the tree, how do I manage and control that. Is it possible to graft in an apple tree branch into our crab apple tree to start producing regular apples?

[@L2Survive]

If you prune too much you will get a lot of root suckers. Paul suggest no more than a third of the tree per year. The sucker can just be dug up and cut off with your shovel. Jagged cuts are better than smooth cuts. You can graft any apple to any apple, it is the same with all trees. Just keep them in the same family. If you didn't already have a tree, I would suggest a dwarf root stock.

[@manusia3057]

Just city catto you .for abaut the farm

[@manusia3057]

Basil .and pudina for Sepahtu the better grow

[@richardlong2412]

I noticed that I do not see any wood chips in Paul's garden. what happened to the wood chips?

[@L2Survive]

They get covered by the compost from Paul's chicken coop.

[@richardlong2412]

so when the experts say that wood chips tie up nitrogen. Are they wrong?

[@williamstruthers1899]

richard long
if you roto-till wood chips into your soil it could. if you use the wood as a cover (separate layer) then no. it breaks down and provides all benefits.

[@L2Survive]

richard long
No? Here's the thing, woodchips use nitrogen to decompose. When it is done, it is released back into the ground. With Back to Eden gardening, you are not mixing the woodchips into the soil, you are laying them on top of the ground, newspaper, cardboard and compost. When you plant, you plant in the ground. It is just too far with too many things between the woodchips and the ground for it to mater. Plus, in a perfect world, you are doing all of this in the fall when most people are not planting so, they have a good 6 months to break down.

[@joemonroe9456]

+richard long the first 8 months they do. You might need to add some nitrogen fertilizer.

[@cableguy209]

Hey now

[@geandraget]

Does anyone know if Paul sprays his fruit trees? Thank you.

[@cragcrawler]

Gean Draget he does not.

[@finaum1]

Could you please put a microphone on Paul, his audio is always terrible...thank you :)

[@L2Survive]

While it is not possible to go back to 2013 and put a mic on Paul, it has been a few years and I now have better equipment. Paul is always mic'ed now.

[@djayfriMusic]

L2Survive you are funny!

[@finaum1]

L2Survive obviously I meant in the future
