This is so cool! We need more confirmations like this because people make so many claims about farming methods but we rarely get to see definitive results. Thank you for sharing!
Please do not worry about people's opinion. Just do whatever best fits for you guys. Thanks for spending time to create video like this. Your garden so beautiful 😍
Good on you for showing us the reality! Very much appreciate it 🫵🏻👍🙏🏻 I am one also that had heard that so called truth/myth, so I dug a square hole just in case. lol. Just as easy to dig a square or round hole anyway at the end of the day 😁
Yeah, that was the comments on one of our tree planting videos because we dug a deep round hole. Commenters said better to plant in square holes than round holes 😅
Some trees have tap roots. Plums are one of those trees apparently. It's good if you forgot to plant the rock underneath it. However, if somewhere along the way the tap root was damaged or removed, that could explain why it struggled. I'm not saying that this is the reason. Just a possible reason. God bless.
Actually, you're not really debunking to the criticism of amending the planting hole. They criticize amending _regular_ holes, which are only slightly larger than the pot or root ball. You've dug a fairly wide and deep hole, so the tree is already established by the time the roots reach the native soil.
Whoever said the the roots of the tree that is planted in a round hole will cause to roots to go round and around until the tree chokes itself, is watching way too much hollywood scary movies. What a foolish way to think 🤦 now if its in a plastic or ceramic pot, that can happen, but i still don't think it'll choke itself 😆
I never saw it happen, but I heard it happen when the owner puts (only) compost into the hole (no or too little native soil) AND the soil around is very bad and compacted, but people rarely plant trees this anyway.
I also still wonder however…your soil looks nice - loose - and maybe easy for the roots to get into. If the ground was hard, perhaps it would be dirrerent. I planted an avo tree this way but my land is clay 8 inches down. This resulted in it becoming an underground water trap and the three trees I planted all died… including banana. Now I have a hemp plant there but it is miserable 🥲 HOW TO PLANT A FRUIT TREE - the Ellen White method th-cam.com/video/4-p2vflRnj4/w-d-xo.html
That's why adding amendments to the native soil can change that soil texture to be not so much clay. It takes and to some degree money to acquire compost, and organic if they're not readily available. Keep trying, though👍
Our topsoil also goes about 6 to 8 inches down. Then we have subsoil from about 8 inches to about 20 inches down. Then we have heavy clay after that to the bottom of our hole that we dug (from 20 inches to 36 inches). This particular hole in this video had an old rotten stump in it when we dug it out, so the soil looks better than our average holes do.

Thank you for your kind words. Blessings to you!🙂

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 👍🙂
Thank you for making this video. I read those comments as well, so i'm relieved to see that the roots grow normal and natrually. You are the best!
Yes! We're glad to be able to share this video as a proof that the roots of the trees planted the EGW won't go in circles 🙂👍
Marie! Hi Sister. Miss you. Blessings. Thank you for your Ministry. ❤
Hi Happy new year! Thank you and praise the Lord. Blessings on your ministry 🙏
I have never heard of a tree root growing only in the circular hole it was planted in. Weird!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, the 2 plum trees didn't do well, we just dug them out.

Thank you for your input. 🙂
90% trees planted in the round hole in the world and they performed exellent
I think so too. If seeds in tbe forest can penetrate on hard soil, dug holes with good soil make the seeds/plant grow faster and healthier.

Yeah, I agree. And this tree proves it that no roots planted in deep round hole will not go around and around 🤣
