- Finally! The long awaited living fence is going in. Subscribers asked for it and I'm delivering! We're going with Malabago or Sea Hibiscus, a flowering tree that is good for pollen and nectar for the bees and makes a great wind break. We also spend time with our good friend Digoy who has a lot to say, even if I don't understand much of it. Jason, who I now call Dr Jason, is also back on the farm trying to get me to try his homemade elixir for strength and vitality. You'll have to watch to the end to learn more about that one. I hope you enjoy the show.
Living fence that bears flowers during the season for the honey bees.
Yep! Lol. I really can’t wait to see how they grow. I’m so excited about this project and I have my subscribers to thank for it. Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it and hope to hear from you again soon on another video. God bless you my friend.
kamoteng kahoy really good with the fence
You can eat it's leaves while waiting end year to harvest
That’s amazing Tao. I had no idea. I absolutely love trees and plants that are multi purpose. Thank you for letting me know. God bless you always my friend.
very cool......I love it. I have thought about doing the same thing with bamboo......plant it in a long line on the property line. However, I'm told cobras like to live in bamboo.....still thinking it over.
Hey Michael. I also love bamboo. I would love to cultivate it for a free building material. I’m pretty handy and would love to try to make a shelter from my own bamboo but like you, all the locals are telling me not to because of snakes. I hate snakes! I love bees, but snakes ain’t my thing. I trust my friends so the little bamboo I have can keep growing but I’m not adding more to it. I’m pretty excited about these living fence posts though. I can’t wait for them to grow and bloom. Take care my friend. I hope to hear from you again real soon. Keep the comments coming. God bless.
Brent: Oy! Manong Digoy! Post digger no workie! Manong Digoy: We don't need no stinkin' post digger!! Hold string. I couldn't resist. Wow! The team you have there,,,they're getting it done. Hauling river sand up the hill! Hats off to these guys! Fence lookin' good Brent!
I know right? These guys are an incredible team. I’m blessed to have them helping me out. They know what needs to get done and they know how to do it and they get it done. I wish I had the money and work to hire them all full time. I get along with all of them so well and they bring a really good spirit to work every time they are out there. I give all the credit to Noy Pabling. He’s the manager and put this dream team together. I’m truly blessed to have him on my side. My father in law was lucky to have him as a best friend and partner. God bless.
What a beautiful property. I want some jackfruit and coconut 😋. You need to learn their language fast
It’s amazing. The fresh coconuts are sooo good. I also have bananas growing right now. They should be ready in December. I haven’t had the jackfruit from my trees yet. They went rotten and others aren’t ripe yet. I’m trying to get a few words a little at a time. Thank you for the support. I appreciate you watching. God bless.
Of course I watch your channel. I support my friends 🥰 we sure miss you bartending here. No more perfect margaritas for me 😢
Thank you for that. I haven’t made any drinks for anyone in a long time. I made popcorn for Shelby and her friends tonight though. That was fun. Lol. Take care.
I use to fly up that river on my jetski all the way to Makinhas where the water is shallow,
That’s so cool. I think you mentioned that before. I’m right on the border between Ciabu and Makinhas. It’s really shallow where we are. They are quarrying soooo much stone, sand and gravel out of the river by us I’m not sure if it’s getting deeper yet or not. Thank you for the comment and for watching. I really appreciate it. I hope to hear from you again soon. Take care my friend. God bless!
Good job for fencing the area, very important for boundary and security 👍
Good day Jiji. I agree. I know it won't keep people out. That's not really the point. I want to make sure that if I start planting young trees, flowers and veggies that the horses and carabao won't come along and eat them before they get a chance to grow. Thank you for watching and for the support. I really appreciate it. God bless you always my friend.
How about attaching a T-bar to that auger to make a hand drill?
One or two people should be able to use it to manually drill those post holes.
Hey Steve. That’s a really good idea. I was recently on Lazada and they do sell the manual ones. I’ve actually used them in the past. Luckily the posts are finished for now so I shouldn’t need it again for a long time. Unfortunately it wasn’t a cheap machine, but we live and learn. Lol I appreciate the comment my friend. Take care and God bless.
Lookout. It that superman coming to the next Volg
Lol. I have not tried that root concoction yet. I’m waiting for some smart viewer to tell me what it is and if it’s actually good or if it’s toxic. Lol I’m really careful about what I eat and drink. I don’t want to get sick. Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it. God bless you always.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 me to . I carefully to want I eat and drink also. I tried some foods here but had some reaction to it. So yes always becarefull
It’s a smart policy to live by. I’m into trying new things but I am still careful about things that might make me sick.
So this is your property Brent by the river. It needs quiet a clearing.
Hey Eli. Yes what I showed in the video is my farm. Im not in a hurry to clear anything right now. Im learning that some of the plants are blooming. Even weeds that bloom can be a major food source for the bees and I don’t want to remove anything that may help them thrive and make a premium honey. Once I have an opportunity to see what blooms and what won’t through the year then I’ll be more comfortable cutting back weeds to beautify and clean up the landscape. For right now I’m observing and just making pathways to get where I want to walk safely. Beekeeping is a very different kind of farming. Thank you for the comment and support. God bless you always my friend.
I KNEW you’d figure out the Portland Cement idea! You are my CAN DO KID! Now you’re making progress.
It’s not that hard. Just need the proper recipe and a few amazing guys helping out to make it all come together. Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it. God bless.
Good day man
Hey buddy! Good to hear from you. I'm glad you're here and watching.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 i always watch your vlogs man.
I know you do. I’m truly blessed to have you following. Part 3 in this series will be out in a couple days. Please keep your notifications on. It’s so nice having this project completed. Take care and I’ll talk to you soon.
The living perimeter fence is great.
Hey Salvador! Thank you for the kind words my friend. Things are getting exciting and really coming along. Part 3 in this series will be out in a couple days. I hope you’ll be watching. Take care and God bless you always.
Hey Brent, great vid and nice work out. That was a Palmera Tree, ornamental really. Starting to take "shape," looking good. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Ian. I appreciate the support and kind words. I’m really pleased with how it’s coming along too. I get more excited with every step. Thank you for the comment. Take care and God bless you my friend.
banaba tree helps prevent landslides because of the extensive root system
I had no idea! That’s so good to know. Apparently we need more like that because last year was a bad year for landslides here in Baybay. God bless and thank you for all the information.
You know malunggay? You can use it as living fence and very healthy and nutrition
Oh yes! I love malunggay. This video is about a year old and a lot of my fence posts never grew. Recently I cut malunggay and planted it near the old posts and it has already started to grow. I’m very happy. It’s great food for people and animals and the blooms are good for honey as well.
By the way. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my videos and comment. I really love hearing from people as often as possible. God bless you always.
😀 A hundred pounds of sand?😉
Well I didn’t weigh it but wet sand isn’t light. Lol. Those guys hauled over a dozen bags up that hill that day. My hat is off to all of them. They are amazing men.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 No doubt.
I’m blessed to have great help and amazing subscribers who are all becoming better friends!
Ant nests in the trees?! Yikes!
Hey Cathy. Yes OMG there are sooooo many of those and that is the smallest one I’ve found so far. They are everywhere. I’m kind of scared of them but don’t know if there is anything I can do about it or if I should even try. I think I’ll put a segment in an upcoming video. I keep filming them but then cut those segments in editing because they don’t really further the plot of the story. Lol. The nests are absolutely fascinating though. Thank you for the comment. I hope you’re well and I hope to hear from you again soon. Take care and God bless you always my friend.
23:30 is a palm species. Quite a few birds get attracted by that thing's fruits once it bears fruit which comes in nice little bunches.
the Tagbak at 27:00 is a member of the Zingiberaceae family, Alpinia elegans as far as I can remember. You're gonna have to ask manong Digoy again about it because that plant has edible bits. :)
Drawing a blank on the Anunumpay though. hehe :D
That’s fascinating! Are the fruits edible for humans? I’m so glad you are able to tell me about this because the palm is absolutely elegant looking and one of the most beautiful trees on the property. And the Tagbak is growing like a weed everywhere. When the workers cleared the land they must have cut back a thousand of them because they were everywhere on the ground. If they are partially edible I’ll have to look into how to harvest some when more grow back. Thank you so much for the comment. I’m so grateful for the help. God bless.
@@beekeepinginparadise5935 With regard to that particular palm, I'm not too sure. Maybe there's nothing poisonous about it, but then you get to whether or not enough edible material can be had from it to make it worthwhile; if I recall those palms have small fruit in bunches. But you can definitely have aesthetic/decorative uses for it, like maybe lining the side of your access road in the future, or the path to the payag.
I haven't personally tried it, but I think the fruit of the Tagbak is the edible part. They're quite hardy too and will keep propagating as long as the roots are intact. They love moist shady spots. I don't think it's a normal part of any Filipino delicacy, but it's nice to have an extra something edible at the farm. Anyway it's part of the family that includes Ginger and Turmeric.
At the very least, that palm and the Tagbak are also bird attractors. I can already hear a couple of flowerpeckers in the background of your video; they were most likely hanging out in the part of the property that had a lot of undergrowth. :)
That’s really interesting and I’m going to watch them this next year to see if/when they blossom and make any fruit. I’ll keep inquiring about them. If I can get someone from the university out there I’ll make sure to get answers. Thank you for the extra info.
Drive yr van yo river to get sand
Hey John. Thanks for the comment. That’s exactly what I wanted to do but because the city was quarrying the river and running huge heavy dump trucks down the road to the river I can’t drive even close to my property anymore. The ruts are so deep and flooded from the rains that it’s impassable. My poor little multicab bottoms out on the rocks and can’t take the abuse anymore. It’s pretty sad. Merry Christmas my friend. I hope you keep watching and stay safe. God bless you always.
lol mga puti walking in the rain getting all wet ..i do the same thing and wifes family cant understand it ..i say it is hot out and it is only water nalang.. they think im crazy too lol i hear ya with the people there and tough feet , i call it carabao skin on their feet so tough .. i tried to climb a coconut tree with the notches and could only get up about 10 ft before quitting
Hey Mike. It’s great to hear from you. I feel exactly the same way about walking in the rain. It’s no big deal if it’s not cold. I’ve never gotten sick doing it. That’s a great saying about the carabao skin on the feet. I’ll have to remember that one. You’re braver than me. I haven’t tried climbing a coconut tree yet. I might someday if I lose a little more weight and get a little more flexible. If I do I’ll try to get it in a video. Wish me luck. Thank you for the comment and being such a good friend. God bless.
