I'm living on a stud farm in France. We have one field with about 30 walnut trees.

Although I´m a woodworker I never heard of the Paulownia tree before. I just looked it up and must say it really seems to have all the advantages. Fast growing, fast drying, light, hard and stable, fertilizing with nitrogen. Thanks for the suggestion.
The species were marketed and sold as a new timber species by an enterprising individual here in Australia several years back. The idea never took off but I planted several. Big F'ing weeds. Not a great saw log and messy in autumn with huge leaves. Prolific pale purple flowers. 'Chinese dowry tree' is the common name for the species Poulownia Tomentosa. Traditionally one was planted when a daughter was born then chopped down and used for timber when she got married. The timber is very light. good for light furniture and small boxes etc.
The Paulownia kind that is generally recommended for straight and large logs is not Tomentosa, Paulownia Tomentosa becomes more crooked than a politician. Paulownia Elongata is the one you should probably look into, and with close planting you should get nice logs.
Great! Many thanks for your thorough advice. I´ll keep that in mind. "Paulownia" sounds much like a russian name, or portuguese. "pau" in portuguese has the meaning of "stick" or "wood".

I like your video and have only one comment on what might not work. I bought some blue berry plants from a man with a ten acre blue berry farm about twenty years ago. Hi soil was very nice and all the same across the field so I thought it very curious that the plants went from six feet tall over most of the place down to about two feet tall in one area. I asked him why the small plants were so small. He said it was because they caught some shade late in the day from the edge of the forest. I could then see the path of the shade across his field in the form of small plants. Blue berries require full sun and would not do well planted around trees. I know this from personal experience also. The only plants I have that have done well get full sun. I'm looking forward to checking out more of your videos.
Kirk Johnson the trick would be to prune the tree and keep them spaced out properly. instead of letting them get shady and bushy. they're very sturdy and resilient and you only want them for their nutrients, not their shade.
Almost all fruit/veg plants prefer full sun, unless you live close to the equator. You can still grow many of them in partial sun, though, and blueberries are one that do *relatively* well without being in full sun (relative to other fruit/veg plants in partial shade). Unless you have better ideas about what to do under those fruit trees, you might as well. Of course if you have a ton of full sun land, plant there first. But like that blueberry farmer, what else are you going to do with your partial sun land but plant there anyway, even knowing they won't do quite as well? The only commonly-grown plants in my area that actually prefer partial sun are the greens (like kale, lettuce) and even then only in summer. In the spring and fall (and winter, for kale) they still prefer full sun. Full sun is prime real estate but not every plant can live in prime real estate. Sometimes they have to settle for the north-facing view. :)
Colorado has free land for born-again Christians... I just don't know any (other) born-again Christians. I will buy 40 acres and a mule (a Kawasaki Mule)... God willing, and be the one to give it away, an acre at a time.
Sheep and goats will overgraze an orchard and cause erosion. Goats will be practically *impossible* to keep from the crop. Cattle will stomp the roots, and reach up to pick the crop. Pigs (even though you didn't mention them) will uproot the trees ad turn the orchard into a desolate minefield. Chickens and turkeys will jump/fly up into the trees and eat the crop, and be particularly susceptible to predation in a hard to manage area like an orchard.
The deal with chickens is you have to start them young and provide them a mobile nest for the night. And it has to be roomy enough for them, otherwise slowly but surely the least content bird will eventually decide to roost in the trees. And when the other birds see that, they'll copy. If they're not controlled, chickens can devastate a tree just as quick as molds or insects. Luckily it doesn't take much, but yea, once chickens stop viewing their night nest as comfortable, they'll just refuse to use it anymore.
Make sure they are fat chickens and they won't be getting in any trees :D Also sooner or later you will probably get foxes and/or feral animals attacking the chickens in the night.
timber, grow timber (pine trees) they grow fast require little labor and you get three harvests at 10 (pulpwood), 20 (saw timber & pulp wood), & 30 yrs (saw timber and logs for poles), a logging company that you hire will do all the work to harvest the trees, and you get most of the profit. your timberland will create a haven for all types of wildlife and can be leased to hunt clubs. I also live on my timberland and enjoy the solitude, the peace and quiet, seclusion, and privacy. after the 3 rd harvest you replant and watch your investment grow
roy hoco i have heard of people doing that for a free road. Those heavy trucks compact the road even more, making it all the better. You could probably get carbon credits for growing trees when the democrats get the reins again.
Ginseng is a high profit crop, true, and the roots might be big enough after 5 years but it grows best on north and east facing hillsides. Also when growing this valuable crop be advised that security from poachers is an important consideration.
enrique, no fencing other than a brick wall will keep out the sheep and/or goats. they'll climb the fencing, knock it over, head butt it... i don't know why people back in bible times didn't eradicate goats.
because Goats give more milk per food eaten then any other domesticated animals. Making them the cheapest form of milk, and Goat cheese is delicious and last a very long time if made and stored properly.
You never heard of electric fence? They respect a correctly maintained one. Keeping the animals happy is another key, because they only challenge fences when they're desperate.
Yellster_ 26 or how about a tree net . suspend 4 poles around a tree with a giant net around the trunk extending the diameter of the tree and watch the fruit fall into the net.no need to move your cows.
I'm calling bullshit on walnut trees being harvested in 20 years. Buddy it takes many decades before you get good hardwood from a walnut tree. And the land has to be the right condition and type for them to grow.
yes, over 20 years. Multi-use land is essential. Even just hunting on it is better than nothing. Frankly encouraging natural stuff like raspberries make it a seasonal adventure. The oaks and walnuts provide a lot of wildlife food. Both are edible for people too. From what I learned is pigs love acorns. So they can be let loose in oak forests for limited times to eat em. Make friends with neighbors and share food. Government will hate you because they can't get a tax on it. But can the government outlaw sharing????? Scary right!
You are right, 30-35yrs before Walnut trees are harvestable for lumber. Oak trees are almost double that. Makes for a good retirement plan or multigenerational legacy.
In the USA you can make some good cash leasing your land to hunters . I know of one property near me that cost $ 5,000 to lease and that is only during 2 months deer season .
@@timkneiski9919 most landowners or those who pay big bucks for a lease will often self manage the herd, many of the large hunting clubs in my area that have large leases set minimum limits for the deer. So bucks must have 6+ points, allowing the young bucks to mature and grow bigger/ more points, doe must be 3 or 4 years or older etc
This is hilarious. I talk to my buddy at work about growing black walnut trees for profit all the time. Never thought about multiple other incomes off the same land on top of it. Genius. Thanks! Lambos and Rrari's here we come!
You can further upscale #3 by using rotational grazing. Divide your orchand into reasonably sized pastures, send in the sheep and goats, after a day or two send them to another pastures and send cattles into the first one, after another day or two send the sheep and goats further, the cattle into the second and chicken, ducks or geese into the first, and so on. That way you can feed many more animals on the same piece of land, because each of them graze on different things and this system allows the grass to grow back between the rounds + the chickens eat the pests and spread the manure.
well, anything except chickens (for eggs) isn't necessary for a sustainable off grid living, which means most of the people aint gonna be crazy about having sheep and cattle and geese over there lol. Killing animals isn't for everyone you know.
There is a company here paying $1250 dollars a year per acre for solar panels. I'm set to inherit nearly a thousand acres of land. I am a happy man right now.
Turkeys are easier (and healthier) than chickens.., (turkeys exposed to HPAI have never been infected)... (eggs are larger, taste the same, and healthier too)...
theres another good and easy way but really depends on where your land is: sugar mapple trees thats the tree that produces the expensive yet popular maple sirup but as i said it depends where you are bedause you need to have winters cold enough to get snow for at least 1 month but that good news is its very profitable and the tree can start producing after only a few years and can produce for over a century also it increase production the bigger it gets and it loses its leaves in the automn which makes great fertilizer i recomend growing garlic in a mapple forrest because wild garlic grows well in mapple forests and lastly maple is alse a very hard wood so hard we call it iron wood because a dried mapple wood is nearly impossible to cut with an axe believe me i tried
you usually dont see animals around trees because most will eat the bark and kill the trees. however I have thought of this, because of the benefits you listed and a few more. I will prevent the animals from killing the trees with fencing around each trunk though.
I ordered some goji seeds last winter. started them in house under LED grow lights. I have 15 3' tall goji plants now in 2 gallon nursery pots. will Plant this fall in ground. goji berries are very expensive. to buy. but easy to grow.
black walnut is the worst tree ever. Juglone kills almost every fruit tree, or vebatible. Forget walnut, it has been a nightmare trying to remove contaminated soil.
Thomas Shue's World We has a single massive black walnut in our back yard when I was growing up. There are plenty of plants that can survive around it. And the return on investment is insane. We never sold it, because we liked it so much, but when it reached its prime we had folks randomly popping by wanting to buy it for lumber at mind-boggling prices.
@@Matrim42 hell when I was a teenager we had over a 100 of black wall nut trees (we got the land cheap of the national trust for cheap because they ran out of money) and it was first to come, first to be served and we lived in the next village over and we got the land and about a year later we sold all the trees and it paid for the house I'm living in now
I love the wood of that tree, love the nut just as much... Oak and other tree shall be planted on the land my wife and I are preparing to be are last home. Just need to look at it from the right angle my friend - think of it as a small City, each plant will like to be in the neighborhood of those it finds to it's liking... Like a city, if the people let their government mismanage it - Out of America's ten largest cities, the murder rate in one of its safest city, New York is less than a quarter of the murder rate in one of the most dangerous large city in Philadelphia, with 5.1 murders per. 100,000 compared to 21.5. Chicago is seen as the most dangerous of America's largest cities, Dallas as the safest... Think of plants as city's like that when you plant.
Thanks for posting, I always knew that something from the leaves and husks of black walnut was killing other trees, now I know the name Juglone! No worry those trees were thorny and unwanted. Also nice to keep brush from growing near roads. Just walk along and stab a bar into the ground, circle it, then drop nut, step on it and keep going. End up with nearly all the nuts germinating. If a hole, then come back next year and put in another seed. Note I saw some super straight huge producing nut trees from a golf course and took the seeds pouring over onto a public road. So trying to get the best genetics! Biological warfare! So Cool!
I discovered permaculture and forest gardening early this year and not once have I ever heard mention of the polovnia tree. It seems too good to be true for a food forest, so I find this to be curious. I must investigate further. Thank you!
The berries need lots of nutrients along with full sun. Without sun there is no photosynthesis, without photosynthesis there is no plant. berries need full sun for a reason. Good idea but it won't work. also the nitrogen from the Paulownia is only used by the plant for vegative growth, what about the other nutrients? Maybe try Paulownia trees interspersed with fruit trees and have the animal graze that? I think that would work better.
Berries do not need full sun. They prefer full sun, but I have seen lots of berries fruiting in the undergrowth and edges of orchards and forests. Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, thimbleberries (so probably raspberries), and a lot more. The equation here is not whether berries do better in partial sun vs full sun, it's whether growing berries underneath your primary $ trees (fruit, wood, whatever) provides a better return than doing something else under there. In a lot of cases the "something else" is nothing, so growing underperforming berry bushes is still an improvement.
yes, I am mostly talking about strawberries though, without 8+ hours of full sun a day they just have a lot of leaves and little fruit. it is a very important fact when wanting to grow lots of strawberries.
Paulownia trees do grow fast. Not good for a house garden because they produce huge deciduous leaves. They don't grow a good saw log naturally so need extensive pruning or grown close together. The timber is very light but not rot resistant at all.
Here in the midwest my friend said an old walnut tree from 30yrs ago killed his soil. He's never been able to grow there since. Bad idea, stay away from walnut trees. Plus, where i am, everybody hates their walnuts all over the lawn and tries to give them away, and no one ever takes them. Big nuisance to lawnmowing, walkers, kids, cars and bikers. Heck, theres' probably an ordinance against them & a realtor notification.
Everybody hates walnuts? Seriously? I know a guy who would never lie to me and who makes 1000 euro (about 1200 dollars) per 1000 square meters of walnut-covered land he has per year, and the merchant even comes and picks them up on site. I don't know, maybe walnuts aren't in as high demand in the States.
I can buy shelled pieces of organic English walnut meat for $6.99 lb at a grocery. Pecans are worth more here. Cashews and pistachios are the common high dollar nuts. Pine nuts are expensive everywhere.
There's a reason you don't see these types of land use in practice. 1. Animals in an orchard: large animals damage fruit trees. No you can't let the trees get so tall that they can't because then harvesting becomes a problem not to mention soil compaction and bark damage is also a problem. Chickens sound great till you realize that in that sort of setting they would need way too much tending to to be profitable. 2. Trees with berries: the nitrogen fixed by the roots of the trees gets used almost exclusively by the tree itself. But contrary to what he says berries in the shade do not produce a heavy crop. 3. Walnut/mushroom/ginseng: Closely planted walnuts will produce excellent lumber in 20-30 years but will take 12-15 years to bear any nuts when in close competition with each other. Also you can't "prune the trees hard" as the places where you cut a branch of any substantial girth will create a place that rot can enter the wood and render the tree worthless as lumber later on. So you can't use the pruned branches as mushroom growth media. Also walnut trees stunt plants that grow underneath them by allelopathy, chemicals produced by the tree to keep down the competition, so ginseng wouldn't work in a walnut grove. In the end, agriculture is generally only profitable on the large scale or in direct sales. But direct sales are extremely work intensive in relation the output.
Sharecropping is coming back............many people would love to come by your property and pay you a small fee to grow their own non GMO veggies.......It's time to go back to go forward.........
IF you own property in a good area and IF you have at least 30 years left to your life... and IF black walnut is still considered valuable 30 years from now ...you might be able to cash in and live comfortably from then on. Provided IF you are still young enough and IF you are healthy enough to enjoy your newfound success 30 years from now.
Hi, what type of mushrooms would best for growing under the black walnut trees, is it possible to grow some sort of berries and plus add bunch of bee hives for honey?
The black walnut produces a toxin (juglone) that causes plants in the immediate vicinity to usually be stunted or unable to grow. This applies to the solanaceae family especially, so no potatoes or tomatoes. But other plants like blueberry, red chokeberry, cotoneaster, Amur honeysuckle, hydrangea, lilac, privet, potentilla, rhododendron, yew, and some viburnum shrub species will not grow under black walnuts very well. Blackberries, raspberries, and goji berries would grow well however and there are a lot of different valued plants that can contribute to a walnut guild.
Scott Miller 30 years. also, you'd open the walnuts yourself and sell them. like pre packaged or pies or whatever. ginseng would be a harvest every half a decade or yearly depending on how you set it up. plant trees, what a few years, plant ginseng too. mushroom as soon as it's dark enough. you'd harvest enough mushrooms that by the time you're ready for ginseng harvest, mushrooms grow wild again. also, this might be a video for someone in their 20s in terms of profit. also, creating it all without profit would turn it into a "turnkey" or a sell. You show potential buyer that it's all set up to reap profits but you just want to retire and sell land at a profit. sell otherwise cheap land at good price since the buyer could get their money back soon as well.
I disagree with you on one point. Cattle and orchards dont mix. when cows get into an apple orchard they will eat apples until they founder. This could kill them
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs hectare = 2.5 acreas So 2,400 pounds of honey in a season? Or year? Is production year round some climates? That does seem like a great amount of honey! The article you linked does say (1200-1500 kg / ha). Wow! I wonder how many bees that is?
Rent it to someone else. For grazing, camping, or something else. What else could you possibly do to extract money from it without putting in any work?
Setting up solar and wind yourself requires work. Maybe you could be more specific about how much work you want to do? You could also grow some very expensive wood on your land. It requires some up-front work, same as solar and wind, but without a lot of maintenance. You'd have to calculate the ROI yourself, on one hand but OTOH there may be a way to do both. Young trees don't block much light.
Real best way to make money of off land. Let a farmer lease the land. Or depending on your area let them build windmills on it or a solar farm. The less work you have to do the better!
It takes 7 years minimum before a black walnut tree bears it's first nuts. It will take 10 more years for the tree to bear enough nuts to sell. After all that time, the tree is still too small to cut for lumber. Black walnut trees planted too close together can contaminate the soil making it difficult to impossible to grow a cash crop under them. We had raspberries and blueberries planted under ours and had good results. Having livestock is a good idea however you still have to feed animals during the winter months when grass is scarce. Livestock feed is expensive. My Grandfather said of farming, "if it was easy or cheap, more people would do it".
NunchuckBoy83. We used chicken poop on all of our gardens and fields. The amount of nitrogen in a open ground is minimize from chickens, especially with weeekly rains. I even use it at the base of my plants , but its mixed with sawdust.
The last suggestion, black walnut (if capable to grow in your soil) is by far the most profitable option here, IF you have 25 years to wait for the cash out option. I am going to do this to 30 acres of land. There are far better ways to make money by being productive and patient than simply earning a paycheck from a corporation and hoping your 401K doesn't get squashed by a ruptured bubble (which occurs every 7 years, some worse than others)
I planned 200 wallnut trees in early Spring 1991 they all did not get through the Winter. no idea why last year I put some seeds in the ground they're still going don't know why
No. He IS saying Paulownia.Paulownia is the fastest growing tree not Palo Verde.Unfortunately his pictures are mixed up. The first two pictures are of a Jacaranda Tree.
Yes, his pictures are not Paulownia. Paulownia Tomentosa have huge heart shaped leaves and don't make a very good saw log if in the open. The masses of huge leaves will cover the ground in autumn covering any crop underneath. They are also invasive. The timber is almost like balsa. It will rot quickly.
One item you could add if the area permits is honeybees.
yessir

Kirk Johnson the trick would be to prune the tree and keep them spaced out properly.
instead of letting them get shady and bushy.
they're very sturdy and resilient and you only want them for their nutrients, not their shade.
Marvin C DeRuyscher Blueberry bushes also need acidic soil. Do a Google search for soil tests in your state.
Almost all fruit/veg plants prefer full sun, unless you live close to the equator. You can still grow many of them in partial sun, though, and blueberries are one that do *relatively* well without being in full sun (relative to other fruit/veg plants in partial shade). Unless you have better ideas about what to do under those fruit trees, you might as well. Of course if you have a ton of full sun land, plant there first. But like that blueberry farmer, what else are you going to do with your partial sun land but plant there anyway, even knowing they won't do quite as well? The only commonly-grown plants in my area that actually prefer partial sun are the greens (like kale, lettuce) and even then only in summer. In the spring and fall (and winter, for kale) they still prefer full sun. Full sun is prime real estate but not every plant can live in prime real estate. Sometimes they have to settle for the north-facing view. :)
This is odd considering blueberries grow practically everywhere in Finland, especially in and around wooded areas.

Love the land spaces , can grow so much foods and make own compost
Too bad I don't have any piece of land.
+Strategiusz I'm sure it is achievable, if you set it as a goal.
Maybe
And thanks, awesome video!
look into urban farming. if you have the will, there is a way.
Colorado has free land for born-again Christians... I just don't know any (other) born-again Christians. I will buy 40 acres and a mule (a Kawasaki Mule)... God willing, and be the one to give it away, an acre at a time.
Sheep and goats will overgraze an orchard and cause erosion. Goats will be practically *impossible* to keep from the crop. Cattle will stomp the roots, and reach up to pick the crop. Pigs (even though you didn't mention them) will uproot the trees ad turn the orchard into a desolate minefield. Chickens and turkeys will jump/fly up into the trees and eat the crop, and be particularly susceptible to predation in a hard to manage area like an orchard.
With the orchard, if you add sheep or cows, you can also add bees to pollinate them, then you also get yearly honey to sell and use.
hmm ...pollinated cows
love that mushroom tower idea, thank you!
Chickens also provide great nitrates for plants. They will kill off bugs such as army worms that can kill trees. So its not a bad idea.
I kill chickens.
The deal with chickens is you have to start them young and provide them a mobile nest for the night. And it has to be roomy enough for them, otherwise slowly but surely the least content bird will eventually decide to roost in the trees. And when the other birds see that, they'll copy.
If they're not controlled, chickens can devastate a tree just as quick as molds or insects. Luckily it doesn't take much, but yea, once chickens stop viewing their night nest as comfortable, they'll just refuse to use it anymore.
Make sure they are fat chickens and they won't be getting in any trees :D
Also sooner or later you will probably get foxes and/or feral animals attacking the chickens in the night.
Yeah but chicken poop could kill all of your crops even the trees.
Chickens are cool... Just grow fungi.
My father owns 70 acres of land, and I just found a nice way to make money off of a lot of unused pieces of it! Thanks!
timber, grow timber (pine trees) they grow fast require little labor and you get three harvests at 10 (pulpwood), 20 (saw timber & pulp wood), & 30 yrs (saw timber and logs for poles), a logging company that you hire will do all the work to harvest the trees, and you get most of the profit. your timberland will create a haven for all types of wildlife and can be leased to hunt clubs. I also live on my timberland and enjoy the solitude, the peace and quiet, seclusion, and privacy. after the 3 rd harvest you replant and watch your investment grow
roy hoco can you share some numbers?
roy hoco i have heard of people doing that for a free road. Those heavy trucks compact the road even more, making it all the better. You could probably get carbon credits for growing trees when the democrats get the reins again.
if you consider 50% "most of the profit", then sure... most.
they add a lot to my piggy bank.
1WildlandFirefighter : I have plenty pine straws on my land. How exactly can I sell them ?
Ginseng is a high profit crop, true, and the roots might be big enough after 5 years but it grows best on north and east facing hillsides. Also when growing this valuable crop be advised that security from poachers is an important consideration.
Very nice video! I like the way the walnuts use the land like city developers, up and up!!
Borat excuse my character reference that was life changing. Multiplication and Addition!!!! Thank you! Be blessed and make millions!
Do not put animals other then chickens in your orchard. They will ruin the trees.
Farmer Dude357 kwa kwaaaaaa! ! 😂
Farmer Dude357
.yep. cows love to eat fruit trees.
Sagans Run they do not eat them if they are tall enough. They damage the base of the trunk with there feet. Then disease sets in and kills the tree.
farmer dude is right - (my grandpa was farmer)
chickens will get killed by foxes
Don't forget animals like sheep and cows will eat the crop from the orchard
Yellster_ 26 put small fencing around them then mix in chickens to get at the fenced area
enrique, no fencing other than a brick wall will keep out the sheep and/or goats. they'll climb the fencing, knock it over, head butt it... i don't know why people back in bible times didn't eradicate goats.
because Goats give more milk per food eaten then any other domesticated animals. Making them the cheapest form of milk, and Goat cheese is delicious and last a very long time if made and stored properly.
You never heard of electric fence? They respect a correctly maintained one. Keeping the animals happy is another key, because they only challenge fences when they're desperate.
Yellster_ 26 or how about a tree net . suspend 4 poles around a tree with a giant net around the trunk extending the diameter of the tree and watch the fruit fall into the net.no need to move your cows.
I'm calling bullshit on walnut trees being harvested in 20 years. Buddy it takes many decades before you get good hardwood from a walnut tree. And the land has to be the right condition and type for them to grow.
But your grandchildren will be thankful
yes, over 20 years. Multi-use land is essential. Even just hunting on it is better than nothing.
Frankly encouraging natural stuff like raspberries make it a seasonal adventure. The oaks and walnuts provide a lot of wildlife food. Both are edible for people too. From what I learned is pigs love acorns. So they can be let loose in oak forests for limited times to eat em. Make friends with neighbors and share food. Government will hate you because they can't get a tax on it. But can the government outlaw sharing????? Scary right!
You are right, 30-35yrs before Walnut trees are harvestable for lumber. Oak trees are almost double that. Makes for a good retirement plan or multigenerational legacy.
Thank you for sharing your cool ideas with us. :)
In the USA you can make some good cash leasing your land to hunters . I know of one property near me that cost $ 5,000 to lease and that is only during 2 months deer season .
Then they kill the 5 deer living there. That's done.
@@timkneiski9919 most landowners or those who pay big bucks for a lease will often self manage the herd, many of the large hunting clubs in my area that have large leases set minimum limits for the deer. So bucks must have 6+ points, allowing the young bucks to mature and grow bigger/ more points, doe must be 3 or 4 years or older etc
That's smart.
They probably do that just to break even on the property tax
This is hilarious. I talk to my buddy at work about growing black walnut trees for profit all the time. Never thought about multiple other incomes off the same land on top of it. Genius. Thanks! Lambos and Rrari's here we come!
Mr Fox is going to love your orchard full of chickens.
I was thinking of the raccoons that eat hundreds upon hundreds of chickens annually
Not eat, my unaware child. Kill. For sport. Fuck Raccoons.
You can further upscale #3 by using rotational grazing. Divide your orchand into reasonably sized pastures, send in the sheep and goats, after a day or two send them to another pastures and send cattles into the first one, after another day or two send the sheep and goats further, the cattle into the second and chicken, ducks or geese into the first, and so on. That way you can feed many more animals on the same piece of land, because each of them graze on different things and this system allows the grass to grow back between the rounds + the chickens eat the pests and spread the manure.
well, anything except chickens (for eggs) isn't necessary for a sustainable off grid living, which means most of the people aint gonna be crazy about having sheep and cattle and geese over there lol. Killing animals isn't for everyone you know.

Not so much anymore. Once it becomes fully legal there is no reason it will be anymore profitable than alfalfa.
Bo McGillacutty - From what I hear, hemp is really good at growing. It would take less maintenance and effort than something like alfalfa.
Really good video considering buying land before a house
Love the fruit orchard idea
I watched this when it first came out and forgot about it. Now I'm looking at land and have been trying to find it again for over a year XD!
theres another good and easy way but really depends on where your land is: sugar mapple trees thats the tree that produces the expensive yet popular maple sirup but as i said it depends where you are bedause you need to have winters cold enough to get snow for at least 1 month but that good news is its very profitable and the tree can start producing after only a few years and can produce for over a century also it increase production the bigger it gets and it loses its leaves in the automn which makes great fertilizer i recomend growing garlic in a mapple forrest because wild garlic grows well in mapple forests and lastly maple is alse a very hard wood so hard we call it iron wood because a dried mapple wood is nearly impossible to cut with an axe believe me i tried
you usually dont see animals around trees because most will eat the bark and kill the trees. however I have thought of this, because of the benefits you listed and a few more. I will prevent the animals from killing the trees with fencing around each trunk though.
The part at 1:20 makes perfect sense.
Love all these ideas!!!! I want to do them all!!
I am in LOVE WITH THIS!!!!!! My Fiancee and I just buy a SMALL FARM IN USA THE STATE MISSOURI!!!!! We might try this my friend!!!!!
I ordered some goji seeds last winter. started them in house under LED grow lights. I have 15 3' tall goji plants now in 2 gallon nursery pots. will Plant this fall in ground. goji berries are very expensive. to buy. but easy to grow.
black walnut is the worst tree ever. Juglone kills almost every fruit tree, or vebatible. Forget walnut, it has been a nightmare trying to remove contaminated soil.
Thomas Shue's World We has a single massive black walnut in our back yard when I was growing up. There are plenty of plants that can survive around it. And the return on investment is insane. We never sold it, because we liked it so much, but when it reached its prime we had folks randomly popping by wanting to buy it for lumber at mind-boggling prices.
@@Matrim42 hell when I was a teenager we had over a 100 of black wall nut trees (we got the land cheap of the national trust for cheap because they ran out of money) and it was first to come, first to be served and we lived in the next village over and we got the land and about a year later we sold all the trees and it paid for the house I'm living in now
I love the wood of that tree, love the nut just as much... Oak and other tree shall be planted on the land my wife and I are preparing to be are last home.
Just need to look at it from the right angle my friend - think of it as a small City, each plant will like to be in the neighborhood of those it finds to it's liking...
Like a city, if the people let their government mismanage it - Out of America's ten largest cities, the murder rate in one of its safest city, New York is less than a quarter of the murder rate in one of the most dangerous large city in Philadelphia, with 5.1 murders per. 100,000 compared to 21.5.
Chicago is seen as the most dangerous of America's largest cities, Dallas as the safest...
Think of plants as city's like that when you plant.
Thanks for posting, I always knew that something from the leaves and husks of black walnut was killing other trees, now I know the name Juglone! No worry those trees were thorny and unwanted. Also nice to keep brush from growing near roads. Just walk along and stab a bar into the ground, circle it, then drop nut, step on it and keep going. End up with nearly all the nuts germinating. If a hole, then come back next year and put in another seed. Note I saw some super straight huge producing nut trees from a golf course and took the seeds pouring over onto a public road. So trying to get the best genetics! Biological warfare! So Cool!
I discovered permaculture and forest gardening early this year and not once have I ever heard mention of the polovnia tree. It seems too good to be true for a food forest, so I find this to be curious. I must investigate further. Thank you!
What about:
Berry hedges for wind break & fruit
Herbs
Bees
Absolutely workable! Berry hedges is exactly what I plan to do when I (soon) own land.
Really a great video ! Thanks !
The berries need lots of nutrients along with full sun. Without sun there is no photosynthesis, without photosynthesis there is no plant. berries need full sun for a reason. Good idea but it won't work. also the nitrogen from the Paulownia is only used by the plant for vegative growth, what about the other nutrients? Maybe try Paulownia trees interspersed with fruit trees and have the animal graze that? I think that would work better.
Berries do not need full sun. They prefer full sun, but I have seen lots of berries fruiting in the undergrowth and edges of orchards and forests. Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, thimbleberries (so probably raspberries), and a lot more. The equation here is not whether berries do better in partial sun vs full sun, it's whether growing berries underneath your primary $ trees (fruit, wood, whatever) provides a better return than doing something else under there. In a lot of cases the "something else" is nothing, so growing underperforming berry bushes is still an improvement.
yes, I am mostly talking about strawberries though, without 8+ hours of full sun a day they just have a lot of leaves and little fruit. it is a very important fact when wanting to grow lots of strawberries.
Paulownia trees do grow fast. Not good for a house garden because they produce huge deciduous leaves. They don't grow a good saw log naturally so need extensive pruning or grown close together. The timber is very light but not rot resistant at all.
They mentioned the tree would take up space.
Don't forget the golden rule of farming. Only raise what you know you can sell. in other words, have a buyer before you plant.
Here in the midwest my friend said an old walnut tree from 30yrs ago killed his soil. He's never been able to grow there since. Bad idea, stay away from walnut trees. Plus, where i am, everybody hates their walnuts all over the lawn and tries to give them away, and no one ever takes them. Big nuisance to lawnmowing, walkers, kids, cars and bikers. Heck, theres' probably an ordinance against them & a realtor notification.
Everybody hates walnuts? Seriously? I know a guy who would never lie to me and who makes 1000 euro (about 1200 dollars) per 1000 square meters of walnut-covered land he has per year, and the merchant even comes and picks them up on site. I don't know, maybe walnuts aren't in as high demand in the States.
I can buy shelled pieces of organic English walnut meat for $6.99 lb at a grocery. Pecans are worth more here. Cashews and pistachios are the common high dollar nuts. Pine nuts are expensive everywhere.
Location is everything. A walnut grove in a populated suburb is not what this video was suggesting.
English walnuts are mighty tasty, Black walnuts not so much. Not worth the effort.
This is good stuff man.
Ginger is also in high demand.
And gingers too.
Apocalyptic Knights I see what you did there! 😄
There's a reason you don't see these types of land use in practice.
1. Animals in an orchard: large animals damage fruit trees. No you can't let the trees get so tall that they can't because then harvesting becomes a problem not to mention soil compaction and bark damage is also a problem. Chickens sound great till you realize that in that sort of setting they would need way too much tending to to be profitable.
2. Trees with berries: the nitrogen fixed by the roots of the trees gets used almost exclusively by the tree itself. But contrary to what he says berries in the shade do not produce a heavy crop.
3. Walnut/mushroom/ginseng: Closely planted walnuts will produce excellent lumber in 20-30 years but will take 12-15 years to bear any nuts when in close competition with each other. Also you can't "prune the trees hard" as the places where you cut a branch of any substantial girth will create a place that rot can enter the wood and render the tree worthless as lumber later on. So you can't use the pruned branches as mushroom growth media. Also walnut trees stunt plants that grow underneath them by allelopathy, chemicals produced by the tree to keep down the competition, so ginseng wouldn't work in a walnut grove.
In the end, agriculture is generally only profitable on the large scale or in direct sales. But direct sales are extremely work intensive in relation the output.

Provided IF you are still young enough and IF you are healthy enough to enjoy your newfound success 30 years from now.
Hi, what type of mushrooms would best for growing under the black walnut trees, is it possible to grow some sort of berries and plus add bunch of bee hives for honey?
The black walnut produces a toxin (juglone) that causes plants in the immediate vicinity to usually be stunted or unable to grow. This applies to the solanaceae family especially, so no potatoes or tomatoes. But other plants like blueberry, red chokeberry, cotoneaster, Amur honeysuckle, hydrangea, lilac, privet, potentilla, rhododendron, yew, and some viburnum shrub species will not grow under black walnuts very well. Blackberries, raspberries, and goji berries would grow well however and there are a lot of different valued plants that can contribute to a walnut guild.
Actually I think I was wrong and blackberries are susceptible to juglone as well, raspberries and black raspberries are not however.
Scott Miller 30 years.
also, you'd open the walnuts yourself and sell them.
like pre packaged or pies or whatever.
ginseng would be a harvest every half a decade or yearly depending on how you set it up.
plant trees, what a few years, plant ginseng too.
mushroom as soon as it's dark enough.
you'd harvest enough mushrooms that by the time you're ready for ginseng harvest, mushrooms grow wild again.
also, this might be a video for someone in their 20s in terms of profit.
also, creating it all without profit would turn it into a "turnkey" or a sell.
You show potential buyer that it's all set up to reap profits but you just want to retire and sell land at a profit.
sell otherwise cheap land at good price since the buyer could get their money back soon as well.
The most important part of the thinking is to start early...but my kid won't listen and the work I did for him will probably go unappreciated.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your insight and information.
I disagree with you on one point. Cattle and orchards dont mix. when cows get into an apple orchard they will eat apples until they founder. This could kill them
Thats why you get goats
badass video broski

paulownia tree gives also honey,around 1000 kilo on one hectare!
greetings
co cha you mean polen for 1ton of honey? I don't think it prodces honey ?
Stenky He probably thought that bees that are on a one hectar orchard of those trees make 1000 kilos of honey... I think that's alot of bees
www.quora.com/How-many-bees-and-how-much-time-is-needed-for-1-kg-honey
www.paulowniaeuropa.ro/en/why_paulownia.html
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs
hectare = 2.5 acreas
So 2,400 pounds of honey in a season? Or year? Is production year round some climates? That does seem like a great amount of honey! The article you linked does say (1200-1500 kg / ha). Wow! I wonder how many bees that is?
Thank you for spelling out that tree. I want to research it to see if it's availability in the States
Crushing guitar tone.
beekeeping?
Well don't know what other people think about this video
But I fount this much informative.
do one in which you don't have to work the land.
Rent it to someone else. For grazing, camping, or something else. What else could you possibly do to extract money from it without putting in any work?
They are good ones. Solar or winds are also good.
Setting up solar and wind yourself requires work. Maybe you could be more specific about how much work you want to do? You could also grow some very expensive wood on your land. It requires some up-front work, same as solar and wind, but without a lot of maintenance. You'd have to calculate the ROI yourself, on one hand but OTOH there may be a way to do both. Young trees don't block much light.
ive bookmarked this vid instead of youtube so that hopefully youll reach 1mil, looks like from 30k-900k it might be the case
Real best way to make money of off land. Let a farmer lease the land. Or depending on your area let them build windmills on it or a solar farm. The less work you have to do the better!
Yeah if you don't mind random maintenence workers on your land at random times of the day with little to no notice.
It takes 7 years minimum before a black walnut tree bears it's first nuts. It will take 10 more years for the tree to bear enough nuts to sell. After all that time, the tree is still too small to cut for lumber.
Black walnut trees planted too close together can contaminate the soil making it difficult to impossible to grow a cash crop under them. We had raspberries and blueberries planted under ours and had good results.
Having livestock is a good idea however you still have to feed animals during the winter months when grass is scarce. Livestock feed is expensive.
My Grandfather said of farming, "if it was easy or cheap, more people would do it".
Sooooo... Permaculture pretty much huh???

Fresh chicken manure has extremely high levels of nitrigen which causes root burn
NunchuckBoy83. We used chicken poop on all of our gardens and fields. The amount of nitrogen in a open ground is minimize from chickens, especially with weeekly rains. I even use it at the base of my plants , but its mixed with sawdust.
The last suggestion, black walnut (if capable to grow in your soil) is by far the most profitable option here, IF you have 25 years to wait for the cash out option. I am going to do this to 30 acres of land. There are far better ways to make money by being productive and patient than simply earning a paycheck from a corporation and hoping your 401K doesn't get squashed by a ruptured bubble (which occurs every 7 years, some worse than others)
I planned 200 wallnut trees in early Spring 1991 they all did not get through the Winter. no idea why
last year I put some seeds in the ground they're still going don't know why
they CAN survive or they CAN'T survive? maybe they died because they were too young to take on their first winter?

How are they doing now? And what region do you live(cold)? I am curious in starting for long run. Love to learn more
From what I have read Ginseng has to grow for 10 years before you can harvest it so I hope you are not in a hurry.
