You crack me up @12:40! I love the idea of the goji berries. I will have to put those on my list of things to grow!! I like your plan, sounds viable. It's almost 4 years later, I wonder how it worked out? I have figs growing in WA. They are awesome bushes, but haven't had any fruit on them yet and it's been several years. I think I'm too much in the woods. They like lots of sun. How about Sea buckthorne? Or Camellia (great if you like green tea or make your own black tea), they are evergreen too.
this sounds like a great theory. the only uncertainty i can see is that the power guys could always just be jerks and mess all your stuff up, but theyd be some big jerks if they did that bc youre doing this with their job in mind. good luck, hope its going well
With all of that area in the sun, use the entire area for herb growing. Most herbs are low plants, hardly ever taller then 4'. Could even include some perennial Rye. And as far as I know, if you want them to stay out of there, then maintain it yourself, and they have no reason to run everything over. They will just look and go away.
Well like I told Mr. Rick.....I don't have the means to maintain those 30-70' tree limbs and I'm certainly not gonna be up for that when I'm in my 70's. We got a good amount of herbs going already up by the cabin. She like them close for when she's cooking I guess. I haven't thought about the Rye but I REALLY what to take advantage of this space for more berries if I can if it works out. It's a pretty good amount of space so i'll have a few options for sure. Thanks Mike.
Your right Gary......I'm glad you brought that up. I told the little lady we need to get some blueberry plants. We really like those too and their great for the old body as well. I remember that I didn't have any luck with them about 4 years ago but that doesn't mean I can't have better luck with them in the future. thanks.
@@3basketliving yep blueberries are very good for the body I've been eating them for years I've got 34 bushes anywhere from a foot tall to 6 foot tall and I love the city of souls I mulch around a spring with pine needles and use azalea fertilizer around them I use about a cup of fertilized ever spring
I like the plan...however, to keep them from destroying your plants and allow access, why not do moveable raised gardens. Example if you have a tow nob on your pick up, youll be able to move those plots out of the way whenever you need to and still be able to grow what you want in that area.
thats what my first thoughts were as well, but i like the ideas hes hashing out here and his ideas are based within what he wants to do/what needs fixed
I was thinking regular Garden. But I love your idea of goji berries and marigolds awesome idea. Want to do something like that here at our place as well comfrey is great for Chop and drop compost never heard of comfrey salve but that sounds like another reason to grow comfrey! Good luck. We don't have any power poles on our property.
Yeah we like them both. I learned to do the salve from the ole boy with the channel name of 'Old Alabama Gardner". That's how we make it now....they way he does it. Tell him I said Hi if he's still around. ;)
You can use fence panels but no as a fence but as screens....(if you get it) If you was too make your brumes(little hills) where the pawer-polls are stick the fence panels on the side you want to block or both.. you can use them as trellis.. I like the idea of the flowers I have no clue what goji berry’s are....have you looked in to Traditional meadow flowers an grasses...
FIGS! I didn't think about that. I would love to be able to grow figs. I have no experience and knowledge of what it takes to grow them or anything about the trees but it sure sounds good if that's an option for my zone and living in these woods. Thanks. I have some studying to do now. ;)
Try some Arbor Vitae, I have some 25 years old an only grew to about 20'tall, makes a nice privacy barrier, if you plant in rows the tops can be trimmed to keep them from the power lines and if staggered and planted at different times will allow to be replanted if the 1st row gets too tall and need removed. Ask the power company as well, looks like a great plan
I haven't heard of 'Arbor Vitae". I'll have to look into that. I forgot to mention that the prefer that nothing grows above 12'-14' tall I think. But if I can maintain them then they can't come through the gate until I let them in. ;)
I checked them out. I know or have been around those and they are nice but I don't think I can eat them...LoL Those do make a good barrier though. Thank you sir.
I agree Steve but I don't have the means to maintain those trees that are 30-70 ft. tall and I'm pretty certain I won't be able to 10 yrs. from now when I get just a little bit older. ;) Thanks.
@@3basketliving maybe bring a few of them down. Then in turn have more sunlight for your garden. I'm sure whatever you do it'll work out just fine! We made our first batch of LABs off your video. Stuff REALLY works!
I hear ya bud but the trees behind them will just continue to strive for that open sunlight too and you have to remember that it's already cleared about 20' on both side as is. I really try to Not take out much of the woods as I can get by with and I do have a good garden area already in the works. I just did some more tree removal around it to correct some mistakes and should be showing some of that soon. That's awesome that you guys made some LABs. I try to convince ppl all the time of it's MANY uses and I'm having some in my water that I'm drinking as I type this out. loL One of the best things you could have done bud. Good all around.
@@3basketliving that's awesome. We spray in our dogs water an food and he's scratching less. How long does the bacteria last after the serum is diluted in water? We went 2 tablespoons/ gallon distilled water
we've been averaging about 30-90 days if I remember correctly. Yeah we use it in the animals food and water as well....I even sprayed it in one of the dogs eyes when he jabbed it going through the woods. Help greatly I believe with any infections trying to develop. If I get any open cuts on myself I am sure to spray the cut with the LABs too. they are power house of a bacteria and we Should have it all over us to begin with. That's why I even spray myself down after a shower from time to time. We spray them everywhere. ;)
Yeah I just don't think that would fly with me Rob....there's a lot of grasses that grow taller than a good bit of things that I want to grow. That's just one of those rules that are made to be broken in my eyes. ;)
Sounds like you have a great plan to block that view to your cabin. 👍 But,. I dont know about all of you? But have you all noticed that ALL power companies came around and cut the crap out our all trees this year? Now I live on a mountain and have been here for over 15 years and the power company has been to my home a number of times for various work but NEVER Cut Any of my trees. Not Ever. The locals said they've never had them come either. They always stayed out on the road. Btw,. When they cut my trees, they ruined then my huge hickory trees that weren't anywhere near touching the lines. I'm really suspicious about this as I've learned and saw many unsettling things about these power companies recently. There's been reports of Tons of power company trucks that cut seen together on interstates all together. Many, staying at motels in large numbers across states. Something is going on..Honestly, because of what I've seen on truth news channels, I'm getting OFF grid As soon as I possibly can. These smart Meters are bad news. Take a look at some utube channels pertaining to these darn things. Be aware.
Yeah right! That's easier said than done. I'm not sure that I could get the elec. company to come out here and re-do this line to put under ground for a couple hundred yds. Sounds good though. Thanks.

Good video Thom. Lots of good considerations in your planning. Lots of different crops you can use in the area.
I agree Rob...I'm sure I'll change it up more than once. We'll just see what I have success with I guess. Thanks bud.
Wow you have the perfect area to add in blueberries they also grow 5 to 6' tall and provide great fruit and love acidic soil

I like going with some flowers but I THINK I want to stay away from the grasses. I think.
Blackberries would bee a goid choice as well or Fig Trees even.

I hope it helps, they are a soft cedar, do not have the sharp needles
I checked them out. I know or have been around those and they are nice but I don't think I can eat them...LoL Those do make a good barrier though. Thank you sir.
@@3basketliving Do a search, they make a good tea (I have tried it ) and might be edible too :)
Raspberries
If you keep the trees trimmed back they won't ever have to come in. Then you can grow anything for privacy. Even hedge.
