It’s a catchy little tune indeed 😁

I don’t know, I got the tornado alert on my phone about 15 mins after it hit us and our neighbors were hit as well but never got an alert, I think they are so unpredictable it may have been very isolated. But the storm was intense all around none the less.

Heck yeah 👍🏼 that’s perfect! I have silage tarps they are just too big for my beds or I would have used it here. I’m going to cut an end off of one the length of my bigger beds to use for this purpose.

You’re welcome! It takes a bit to get use to getting them going but they are worth the trials and wait. You just get better at growing them with time :)

I’m not sure what you mean, we were harvesting quite a few of them.

We do know our varieties, unfortunately the original owner passed before we bought the property and we were not given a list. We know there are some Elliot’s and Berkets and Pawnee but other than that out of the 8 kinds we have growing well don’t know.

It pretty much only harvest pecans, the bag-a-nut company has other harvesters made for different kinds of nuts too.

Well I would say yet but I’m not sure how soon we will get to make it if I did. Spring is super busy and we have no extra time right now

The trees go dormant around here beginning in fall so the leaves all fall off around that time and we compost some of them and mulch some using the riding lawn mower with the mulching setting. So they are all pretty much gone by the time the shaker comes out

Thanks so much, it’s a labor of love indeed :)

Thank you!

Great! Yeah it works well and since we already had access to one I figure why not 😁👍🏼

I agree! 🤣 it’s a lot is work!

Congratulations on the property and Pecan trees! Sounds like a great location! It will probably depend on how mature (or big) your trees. With our family helping there were often times 4-5 of us working to get all the pecans off the ground into bins once the big shaker came out, we were able to get through about 6-8 a day. Before the shaker came, Ben and I worked together to manually harvest some smaller to mid-size trees with long poles by knocking the pecans off onto tarps and putting in totes, we would get about 3 trees done a day doing it that way but again it probably depends on how much the trees produced and how big they are :) I hope it goes well for you guys, what a fun new endeavor. Let us know how it’s going and if you have any other questions. Blessings 💚

Well very cool! Thanks for following along 👋🏼 happy you are here

That is such great news, so glad you had a good harvest! I love walnuts as well, I’m glad you like the videos :) I will keep working on making them more often

🥰

Hello! Thanks for following along we will follow your journy as well! Wow, sounds like a great farm, we are only 4 acres and around 60 trees, super small but growing :)

Thank you! Great way to feed our Pecan trees little by little :D

I hear you! I put everything I plant on an extra large calendar but this just works so well for that quick glance or as a visual when contemplating plans. Happy to hear you find it useful :)

Thank you! 🤗

Hi there in Algeria! That is wonderful :) Pecans are such beautiful trees and then they give fruit after all that beauty they give. You can’t go wrong growing them! Thanks for watching and commenting it’s so great to hear from people in other parts of world ☺️

I know right! Pretty darn cool indeed 👍🏼

Thanks so much Renee! I’m glad you enjoyed it :) have a blessed weekend and I hope the temps your way are cooling down a bit

Sounds like a beautiful property ! I almost moved to North Carolina some years back. Thanks for following along and if you have any questions we can maybe help to answer just let us know :)

Thanks so much! It’s fun experimenting with new things in the garden 😁 thanks for watching!

Oh wow...very nice you have so many, how fun! That’s great you love them too! They are very special trees indeed 🥰 thanks for sharing and yes we have those little rascals, pecan thieves ugh

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰 you’re welcome

Thanks so much Renee! 😁 have a blessed week out there

Hello! We are in Arizona

@@coppertreeacres thank you. My wife and I are looking at a pecan farm for sale here in SC. Good to see someone else who dreamed the impossible dream…but y’all made it happen!

@@sirrabo8804 oh that’s great to hear! It’s been a journey for sure, lots of hard work even on this small of a farm but it’s all worth it. We are still setting up systems and adding the organic vegetable farming so we will see how it all goes. I sure hope you guys get the farm of your dreams, keep in touch and let us know how it’s going :)

Hi Lucille, You’re welcome! He is truly such a wealth of knowledge! I’m glad you got a lot out of it! Be sure to subscribe to his new TH-cam channel “Earth’s Original Organics” he will be posting a lot of good stuff there :)

Thanks so much for the vote of confidence, we surely need it! No, this is not normal to have this much for this long. It’s usually really windy through March and then some windy days here and there in April and May but nothing like what we’ve been having 😒 Praying it clears up soon 👍🏻

Thanks so much, that’s great you grow walnuts! I’m glad you found the information useful 👍🏻 we have been pruning the trees recently for the first time since moving here a year ago, they had been neglected for a long time and we have been learning how to slowly start cleaning them up. We will be putting a video out on that soon. Thanks for watching

Yeah maybe glue it would work better, I tried a block of wood but it didn’t do well and shifted. Thanks 👍🏻

Thanks! Yeah I’m excited and a bit overwhelmed at the same time haha! We have the Ladbrooke soil blockers, I will put there link in the description 👍🏻

Hi Nick, sorry it was too long for ya, just showing process for those who want to see what we use to make up this type of blocking mix. You can skip all that and see the blocking part. I will work in making some shorter versions of things in the future. Thanks for the comment, have a good one 👍🏻

Hey Sherry! I had tried this and had some issues with the top sides falling so it was more of a hassle at this time for me anyway. I’ve been able to get pretty quick at making them this way now. I’m sure there are many ways to make them better and we will experiment with more as time goes on, I’ll let ya know how it goes :)

@@coppertreeacres Hey, whatever works, right? All your seedlings look so good! Looking forward to your planting out and garden tour. Good luck with your pecan sales!

Thanks so much Sherry! We shall see how it goes ❤

Hi there! My mother in law had them from when her sister had a restaurant, they are aluminum oven trays. You may be able to pick some up at a used restaurant supplies or on a market place or on Offer up 👍🏻 if I think of anywhere else you can look I will let you know 🙂

Just realized I didn’t include the Green Tray info in my last reply, I just added the link in the video description so you can check them out 👍🏻

Hi there, I should have called it a light intensity control rather than a dimmer. It’s for controlling the brightness according to the stage you are growing something, the instructions show what percentage the lights should be adjusted for germination, growing, fruiting, etc. as well as the amount of hours to run them and distance they should be from plants at each stage 😊

Thank you, please let me know how things are going in the future 👍🏻 happy gardening 😁
