I always wonder why Eric doesn't do these tours every season. His information is much needed in the world. Eric please put out more tours and tutorials.....please. thumbs up this post if you all agree!
Shawn -- Eric seems to have a lot of things going on that suck up his time & assume that may be one reason why, but agree ! But to get consistent views, he may have to shorten them a bit.
Comical the way some cities approach things, Eric. I went thru something similar & had to remove a # of native edibles here in Tempe, AZ, though it was an alley edge that I maintain & it was no issue to any truck or drive traffic and most all the neighbors agreed it looked more aesthetic than other similar areas. And native birds loved it !! ;) I think they simply don't have the knowledge, education or mindset to truly understand the impact or benefits. I have followed you since I bought Paradise Lot & watched Geoff Lawton's production on you. I also one of your detailed texts--there is no question you know your stuff ! It's fun to watch you (& Johnathan--sp (?)--if you both are still involved directly) succeed !! -Jeff
I don't know how you would feel about it because they stink so bad but have you considered placing a fly trap in the tree when the paw paw is in flower? You could use cheesecloth to block off the opening to the trap. It would draw flies and possibly help with pollination. The traps smell like a dead body after a while so I don't know how long you'd want to keep it there. LOL
I read that there are prostrate species of bush clover that could possibly be used as a native substitute for clover (Lespedeza repens and Lespedeza procumbens). I'm hoping to test these plants to see if they can handle heavy mowing for that one patch of grass I must have according to the HOA.
Fantastic!!!! Soooo inspiring. So very informative :) I would love to know how much rain you did get, and what irrigation you did. Is the dwarf comfrey edible or medicinary? Thank you so very much :) All Blessings Always
could you please tell me the (botanical) name of that gorgeous, yellow flowering edible at around minute 31? It looks like Rudbeckia laciniata, maybe? Thank you. Great tour!!
Yes, "sochan" is another name for R. laciniata, aka Cutleaf Coneflower or Green-Headed Coneflower. Can spread somewhat aggressively, esp. in good/moist soil. www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=rula3
Very informative tour. Thank you! Any tips on hand-pollinating paw paws? We have a few young trees that have had some nice blossoms, but very little fruit so far. Made note of some flies and beetles coming and going, but still not much fruit over the past two years.
I have read of people putting roadkill in a bucket with a screen over it to keep out scavengers near the paw paws. The idea being to attract flies which then notice the paw paw blooms.
@@przybyla420 No. Just some trees from seed and wild trees in the woods. Working on finding some decent scion wood to graft on the rootstocks that have done best here. Fortunately, this spring has been great for our more mature trees. They've set more fruit than ever. Fingers crossed lots make it to ripeness.
Cool! I know some people actually that could probably help you out. If you have Facebook and do a google search of “Lisa the worm lady” you will get her page for worm castings but they have a small paw paw orchard too, I bet they’d be happy to sell you scions for not too much.
I have two questions about growing wooly beans (Strophostyles helvola): 1. What is the best way to sprout the seeds? Do they need cold stratification or can they just be scarified and soaked in water for 24 hours? 2. Can the fully dry beans be soaked and cooked like kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)?
Are your Wooly Beans the annual or perennial species? I came across 2 references where Native Americans cooked and ate the roots of the annual species (Strophostyles helvola). I was going to try growing some to see if the roots are in fact worthwhile but maybe you already know?
This is a 2-year old video, so you might never see this comment, but I was wondering if you planted those pawpaw trees yourself and if so, what year did you plant them and were they from seed? Great video, btw! I am very impressed with this garden :)

I never clicked so fast...in my life!

Thank you so much for sharing this tour!
Very inspiring, will be incorporating fruiting trees in my garden. Thank you !
Great, this is wonderful. I just bought your book!
About time you posted something new. Thank you!
Jujubes should be okay in your area, I would think.
Want to grow a lot of these, myself.
Great video

I would like to see a top down view of your place. Can it be seen on Google Earth?

Hermoso Eric! ¿Podrías hacer uno es español?
Good Stuff

Great video...what is the species of the milkweed?
Have you tried growing american ginseng or ostrich ferns in the shady part of your food forest?
ps...yeah, you don't want an astringent persimmon ! The taste difference from that to ripening is A to Z !

Also, do you have multiple cultivars?

Make compost next to the tree
I have goji bushes. Can I eat the leaves or is that a special kind?

Compost by your paw paw!

Why the need for the nitrogen fixers wouldn't the people living there produce enough along with the chickens?

Any good sources for Chinese toon.
Is that soloman's seal on the left at 28:25?
At 18:26, what's the species name? I found a wikipedia page for "toona sinensis" but I'm not sure if it's the same plant. Thanks!
I do not understand, how is it possible that he can grow papaya and figs have to put them in the greenhouse?
Anybody here from blacklist
