    Cherry laurel does well, I live in a clay soil area and everyone has laurel or privet hedges. Clay soil is nutrient rich so really has benefits . Personally I'm about to do winter rye cover crops to assist the drainage, because I've seen impressive results from this.

  • @photoggenes7443
    @photoggenes7443 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, and you are correct, that seeds will more than like germinate the following year. Fermentation however is for long term viability and storage. The process of fermentation greatly increases the viability and disease protection for longer periods of time. I germinated 90 percent of seeds that I fermented 10 years ago. i have used the traditional method of drying and reduced viability to about 50 percent. Still not bad, but I have had problems with wilt. The process doesn't take long to do , and acts as an insurance policy. Why take the chance. Thanks

    • @FoodForestLiving
      @FoodForestLiving ปีที่แล้ว

      Great information! I find its easy with (most) tomatoes to save plenty of seeds, enough that a 50% viability is fine. But like you said, why take the chance at even the possibility of a lower quality plant? I suppose this video is great for people who havent fermented their seeds and learned about it later. And for those who may not feel like doing it just yet. And your comment is perfect for those looking for the best reason why they may prefer to learn to ferment their tomatoes sooner, than later! Thank you!

I made sure to give them lots of wood chips and sand in their dirt. It is October and I have leaves coming up in both, but we shall see if I get flowers this year. I’m so excited!

    Good recommendations. I would add cornus family and willows. Service berries and hazelnuts too. And when planting on heavy soil, do not dig big holes that you fill with organic rich materials - that will create a water grave to your plants. Dig a large shallow hole and plant to a mound so the water will not stay on the top.

  • @mu99ins

    Goumi berries are not a good plant. They take over. Plant only in containers. Better advice is to not plant it at all. The berries do not taste good. I'm trying to kill it now, and I had to destroy all the plants in the vicinity and dig up the roots, and they are deep roots. They keep coming back. I may have to use poison.

    Such a great video. I have a garden in Iran with heavy clay soil and have been thinking about letting all the grass grow to make the soil breath better. I also stopped watering my fruit trees directly. Instead I dug hole in between every 4 trees and I do all the watering in there. This way the trees are forced to grow roots and become stronger.

      I dont think i have issues with growth speed so much as worrying about them germinating or not! Its important to have airflow for seedlings. It isnt cold in here so plastic isnt necessary for us at this point! We will make a little plastic coldframe to move them outdoors in a few weeks !
