    Best thing I ever bought was our auger 2 yrs ago! Told hubby it was to make planting all those fruit trees easier, plus we still needed to finish our perimeter fencing. We've done both now; planted 20 trees and now I have to figure out where to put the rest that are in pots! That auger has been worth every penny!!!

    We planted several this year as well. Good find at Lowes, it's been hard to find decent plants local.
    Cape Fear and Desirable are both Type I. For the others you will want to get at least one Type II like Stuart to pollinate. (We bought a Desirable from Lowes to pollinate our Stuarts.) Then after planting we tipped the bare root trees as your supposed to and used the Desirable tip to graft onto an unknown variety.

    Be sure not to plant the tree too deep. You want the first lateral roots just at the ground level. You want a root flare to form. It will keep the tree secure during high wind and such. Also don't be scared to prune back 1/2 the top of the tree when planting, it will do nothing but promote more growth! Right on liking your videos!

    Lead you are making some real powerful power moves Sir. However, have you thought about making your garden space in to a food forest?
    I am just thinking ahead Brother/ it's just you Lady Lead (A.K.A. LL as I call her lol). I'm thinking the food forest can be to help feed the FAMILY at any time and any amount. Meanwhile having a smaller garden will be less of a work load and just big enough for you and LL to eat from. Also be having a food forest you may not have to plant everything you want to eat ever year, year after year. This is just food for thought Brother, you have enough land to do this and so much more. Just giving ideas as you give so much yourself. My way of giving back✌🏿💪🏿💯🤝🏿
