    Great videos brother, I was a trucker here in Los Angeles underpaid and overworked. I just planted 40 gem avocado trees plus 2 zutanos for pollinating . They are about 4 feet tall . 4 of them went into shock but are starting to come back. We are gonna see if they make it through the winter ,if they do then we will be planting 5 acres of them and if they do well we will be planting 50 acres of them. Very excited to start this new venture and I'm glad I found your channel. I have learned a lot for your videos. Any advice for me?

    • @SleepyLizard
      @SleepyLizard  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I enjoy both your knowledge and enthusiasm. You've taught me a lot. Your comment about the bruised fruit caught my attention, though. Have you considered offering a box of 'ugly fruit' for people who either don't care about the looks or might want to make their own oil instead of eating the avocados fresh? I've got too many projects right now to take on making a batch of oil, but eventually I'll be in a place where I'd want to do that. Other people might be in a better place, though, and could make a batch if you offered the box.

      Hi PASM, We have them around here locally but this is a major fruit growing area. All the suppliers and hardware stores have them. I can't find my exact one online but here's one that looks similar on amazon. www.amazon.com/MOCOHANA-Harvest-Elastic-V-Shaped-Included/dp/B085Y3NK65/ref=sr_1_27?crid=CQEWNE6BXPOU&keywords=fruit+picker&qid=1669728794&sprefix=fruit+picker%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-27
      Thing is the one on amazon is only like $18 whereas mine was $80. I can't imagine the quality would be the same if they can make a profit by selling it for $18.

      Great question. I got mine at a farm supply store in Florida City Florida called Helena. You can also find them online. There's another variation that has a mechanical cutter that you operate with a trigger.

      Yo Levi, are you asking about avocados or the picking pole? I sell the avocados at www.guacfarm.com. But I'm pretty sure you have purchased the fruit before so I assume your asking about the pole. They sell them locally here at the ag supply stores and our local hardware store.

      around here they have them in a few places. The hardware store on Krome ave in downtown Homestead has them. Also the fertilizer places have them. I've looked online and haven't found it. Are you in South Florida?
      There's no label of brand on the picker so I've not been able to find anywhere other than the local spots.
