I accidentally found your chanel a while, while, while back because I saw the words "plant eating sheep" I loved your chanel ever since. you have the best ideas and it's really awesome to see. I'd love to share some ideas and talk more.😁 Best regards from the USA
Flora is just gorgeous and the other animals I have to cobs myself and love doing there job everyday, you have really inspired me with new projects etc hope you all have a successful time keeping in the sheeps, much love from chloe in Lincolnshire uk 🇬🇧
that post hammer though,,,just awesome why yes actually planted 23 bare root poplars, they are doing great. So admire your life style, reaping what you sow, thats so fulfilling.
👌👍👏 Extremely well done again and as always. Lovely to see people able to work and eat together without any aggressions at all. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to you all.
Many years ago I owned a 5 acre sandy block in Western Australia which only had thin scrubby shrubs. I decided to plant and hand-water many Tasmanian Blue Gums to provide shade for our horses and house. It's a great pleasure now to see those tall mature trees still doing their job on Google Earth and Street View, from here in Chiang Mai - the wonders of nature and technology working together, helping me reminisce ☺
this window into your life there is such a wonderful gift. thank you. i would add that this spinner/knitter smiles to see that wool always manages to save the day!!!
Beautiful gardens and house. And made even better by being in the west of Ireland. That is amazing country all the way from County Kerry up to Connemara.
Too me it sounds like crazy to plant trees in the middle of January, mostly because it`s winter time in Poland, but im glad to see Your efforts on planting trees this time. I`m planting every year lot`s of trees for my bees. last year it was about 60 linden (Tillia cordata) and over 100 of robinia pseudoacacia, they`re growing quite good on our dry sands. For muddy terrains I`ve prepared a little plantacion of 13 species of willows, also specially for bees. But it is always a great joy to plant any kind of tree.
I always learn something new watching your videos :) I love the use of the wool as mulch...though I'd love to have that for a neck pillow! tehe What a blessing & great idea to have a group of friends like that meet once a month to help whoever needs it....I just love that! And I see you fed them well o.- Wish I were there! I walked my creek yesterday and thought...what a soggy mess...but I have to say you guys get the soggy land award. :) Love your videos!
Beautiful job! When your friend (Chris?) sang "rolling, rolling, rolling, rawhide", I laughed out loud as that was the exact song going through my head when he started unrolling the fence! Excellent video! Again!
I love you videos you chear up my day I live on a farm with 3 sheep 9 cows and 5 horses all shires we harvest weat and barley every year and sell it in our family run farm shop hope you have a good year good luck to you and ur animals love u guys x
My brother lives in Arizona and has planted some exciting trees this year. All fruit trees and one in particular is a rare blue banana tree. I'm in the northern part of the USA so I won't be able to plant those types, but it's always fun to see what others are doing. How wonderful that you have a group to help you get things done and be productive 😁
I love the monthly work gang idea. Here in the western US desert we have to be a little more involved with our new trees. It must be different living in a place with actual rain.
A bit early to start planting here in Sweden, but I very well might be planting some trees later this year. Perhaps even some of your poplars? A work crew like that seems like a lot of fun, and you can really get some work done! Looks like it worked wonders for you guys. This project (and the video) was wonderful, you're going to really be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour as you see these trees grow. I bet railway sleepers make great gate posts, that's a real find.
I do love seeing your grass roof! It seems so magical. I have started watching your weather and I can't believe how wet it has been, and for such a long time. I hope things dry out in time for your spring planting. I'm glad you are out of the cast Sandra - you seem back to normal? Blessings to you both. (Bonnie)
Last year I planted three poplars that I got from you. The best is above the 6 foot fence now. Another is probably 4 foot, it lost its leaves quite early so maybe it'll catch up this year. The smallest is at the front of my house and isn't even 3 foot, it forked so growth is probably halved and I suspect dogs might be using it as a urinal which mightn't be too great for it's health.
What about a live hybrid willow or poplar fence? Two non poisonous trees with extreem growth. The willow will be able to handle your wetter environment better, but Ik you already have the poplars.
Absolutely LOVE the idea of your 'Meitheal'. Would love to create one in our community. How on earth did you start it, and how is it managed? Do you have a roster system/online calendar, rules or chore lists etc? I'm sure you could make an episode on that subject alone, it reminds of the Armish and how they all come together to help each other out . Something like this would bring people back together after all the rubbish of the last 2 years.👌🇦🇺
Thanks, Nigel. Yes both of our meitheals are still going strong and we'd really recommend them. There are no rules - you just have to find people who are willing to give and take like you. Good luck!
Extremely productive and promotes working together for better community. I love it. ❤️ I love planted 300 Hedge Hazel, 12 Cherry tree, 12 Apples, 4 Oaks, 15 cedar, another 15 Hazel nut trees to do. Where is this place?🤓
We'll be starting our orchard this year: apples, pears, and cherries. We won't plant until early April, though, because our winters here in the Midwest of the US are harsher and colder than your winters in lovely Ireland.
i was working in sahara so i dont have time to see what are you doing i really miss all of your videos i will watch them all of them in this few days sorry my languge is not good thank you for sharing as this experiences
I life in West central Florida and I'm shocked to see just how wet it is over there. That's saying something considering I live in a swamp basically. :P
That mud is horrible! Like the worst November nightmare I can imagine. I am very glad that we have -20 degrees Celsius and 5 cm of snow here in Transilvania. In my region, the tree-planting period is October-November and March. I hope one day every person will understand the environmental importance of trees, and will plant on their properties just like you do. I have to ask that how can you prevent the gate-post from wobbling and loosening as time passes? Looks very instable in that mud and puddle. Nice job with a nice team!
It's a funny thing but, with a light gate like this one, the post may get more solid as time goes on. It's particularly wet just now, but it should dry out a bit in a couple of months. But we can always knock in more stones/timber wedges if we need to. Usually they just settle down.
tractor, ??!!?? we dont need no stinking tractor,e got flora.!!! :) like your help group idear. sounds like our amish in the usa, who help each other in barn raising etc.
Boy, is it EVER wet there! The back of our small (1 acre) property gets very wet after a big rain, then I just wait 1 day and it's all drained away and I can move again. Not so for you, I think I have never ever seen wool/fleece used as mulch, that's unique
I don't remember reading what your plans are with the trees. Are you replanting where existing ones were? Will be planting some for sure this year…just not as many. USA
There are very few trees here - only around 10% of the country has tree cover. So we're planting into fields - trying to get our place up to about 30% one day.
Interesting question, Patrick. And I don't know the answer - sorry. Have a look around? Are there any poplars / aspens in the area? (Too late anyway for slips this year..)
When is a good time to plant poplar trees and where can the slips be sourced. I am in east cork and have been planning to fence my place the same way you have ( without the meitheil unfortunately! ) and also wanted a scattering of trees inside the fence line? Great video as always, relaxing even when ye are trudging through the muck!
It's just all fun, fun, fun for you two isn't it? I saw you do this before, but still can't believe you do it ... stapling the wire mesh to the corner post, then CUTTING IT OFF!! The proper way is this ~ take the mesh right around the post, strain it to itself, drive staples halfway in so they keep the horizontal wires at the correct height on the post but the wires can still move, then cut each wire separately (leaving a LONG end) and tie the free end off tightly around itself, so the whole thing wraps right around the strainer post. Anything else is just pretending!
I've been fencing for 35 years, Ruby. Sometimes it's appropriate to wrap the wire around the post, and sometimes it isn't. The ends of the long length were wrapped, but what you see in this is a short length of about twenty feet, with no pressure on it. Yes, life is fun - but no, we're not pretending.
Always wanted to know that spiky grass/weeds at 2:43 if goats would eat it? Because everybody know goats might eat strangest things, so thought what about those weeds? thanks
Would Black Walnut trees be good in your climate? When I was a boy in the 1950s, the transplanted Irish dairy farmers in NY state would grow them so that when they were ready to retire from farming and handoff to their children they would sell those trees to the local mill as their retirement nestegg. Also while I am asking questions ( new to your site) you said you grew turnips to feed the horses. Those turnips are delicious and seem to be wasted on those beasts of burden. Do you not eat turnips? Do you also eat tripe?
Black Walnut needs deeper soil than we have, but we'll try a few. Yes, we eat turnips - but we grow a lot more than we could ever eat. Tripe occasionally. How about you?
WayOutWest Blowinblog ....Tripe is an acquired food. As my grandmother prepared tripe she would explain the reason that we ate tripe ..During the depression in the 1920s tripe was the least expensive to purchase to feed the family. Thank goodness we only ate it on Christmas and Easter for breakfast, I guess as a reminder of the not so fortunate times. of the 2 types of tripe one cooked in a White sauce and the Italian way in a red sauce, I prefer the red.
I am not quite sure I understand the point of planting so many trees in such a small space. . . . . but it was cool to see your group work. I think such a group is a great idea, but I think it only works if you have a bunch of people skilled in tasks needing to be done, e.g. both needing a fence and having a group with the skills to build a fence.
Trees planted together protect each other, shade out other species and encourage straight growth. At each thinning stage the best are left and the others taken out, leaving more room.. Yes, you need to choose the right people for a meitheal group. We have another one and we mostly do gardening jobs. That one works brilliantly too.
is poplar really that easy to plant? how fast does it grow and is it native to GB/Eire? we've got Laylandai bush trees that have grown to 90ft tall and must get rid of them before they fall down themselves and take buildings with them, but need a replacement.
@@WayOutWestx2 In our nature it would be an issue. Glad you succeed. Hard work is easier to cope with, when positive results is achieved.. 🌞💪 May you & your trees stay healthy 🍻
We put in maybe 40 different types of apples/pears/cherries/nuts/etc. when we came here 10 years ago. We can honestly say we've harvested a few bucketsfull of fruit in all that time. It's just too wet here these days. (We haven't given up hope entirely though - 2 more apple trees went in this year.)
This is idyllic despite the mud. Hmmm. I get the feeling that half of what she ladles out of the hole is just going right back in...She should empty it a bit further away.
Me again! Another nice video. When moving trees from one spot to another (like you did here from roof to new place) do you find that they mind if you tear off lots of the roots when pulling them out (like in this video)? - do they still grow well? Thanks! Learning lots and getting some good ideas from these videos.
The more roots the better, but it's hard to stop the ash trees growing. Only move them when the leaves are off, and don't let them dry out, and they should be fine. Good luck!
God is the wind and all is going with it. علاج البشر هو المشي + الترامبولين فقط وعلاج المناخ هو تحريك الرياح Treatment of humans is only walking + trampoline and treating the climate is moving the wind الترامبولين في المشي اكثر منه في الجري The trampoline is more walking than running
www.theolympian.com/news/local/article125994069.html I live in an apartment but do volunteer work with this group. The video in this article is of a live stake planting ( willow ) on a riparian edge. Easy just push it in. There is discussion of painting the stakes with latex paint and sand to protect them from Beavers We use burlap coffee bean sacks, here in coffee country ( seattle)
You're so lucky to have beavers to worry about. They were wiped out here centuries ago. Yes, we plant willows in the same way too - but poplars are three times as fast (here, anyway).
the only native poplar here is cottonwood. They are not suitable in this location but we do plant them in other properties. The Cottonwoods are so easy that simple wind-tossed branches can take root if the soil is right . We use three different native willow on this property
That group of friends meeting once a month to help each other thing is a really good idea!
Yes it is - everyone should be in a meitheal group : - )
no surprise that there were potatoes at an Irish table. ;) Thank you for this video.
Good food, good land and great company, I love it
The dogs always crack me up. They trot off like they are going to help.
I accidentally found your chanel a while, while, while back because I saw the words "plant eating sheep" I loved your chanel ever since. you have the best ideas and it's really awesome to see. I'd love to share some ideas and talk more.😁 Best regards from the USA
Shoes how valuable wool is nowadays!
old timers are having great time .....i think i learn today how to be happy at old age ,,,,
this is the life I want
Go get it! Report back. :)
Will dooo :)))
I have no idea why anyone would "unlike" this video. I love all your videos especially the ones with Flora and the donkeys!
TeaandFiona I'm baffled by that as well. Strange isn't it?

I planted more poplars this spring and I just love watching them grow so quickly.
Poplar is overrated. Not good for much. Consider some Ash, Oak or Beech. Your descendants will be grateful

Thanks, the nAyisha, We do keep the best wool - but ours is too coarse to do much with. Except this sort of job... : - )
Hi Flora! Looking good girl!
Blimey!! It's Winston Churchill. Back from the dead narrating gardening videos.
Beautiful gardens and house. And made even better by being in the west of Ireland. That is amazing country all the way from County Kerry up to Connemara.
What an awesome thing to have friends like that.
Im planting the poplar slips I bought from you! Lovely condition and should be healthy trees one day, so thanks for that.
Great - good luck with them : - )

Some trees have to be planted within the dormant season.

HAHAHA you sure weren't kidding about it being WET, wish could plant trees that easy here, hahaha too dry for that. Good job done.
yes... 3 apple trees, for cider, and one walnut, the walnut is named Hansen, some of our trees have names ;-) love your videos
Ha! great. Good luck to Hansen : - )
Your house is like an adorable little cottage! Love it! :)
Thank you
I love the monthly work gang idea. Here in the western US desert we have to be a little more involved with our new trees. It must be different living in a place with actual rain.
I know, we're lucky to have so much rain. But it's easy to forget sometimes!
We are lucky that we have to worry about rot and humidity almost never... and that's easy to forget, too.
cool house , i like it.
What a wonderful community you have! Such a great video I really enjoyed it.
wow that is some fertile soil. I'm hoping to plant some fruit trees and nut trees this year. great vid.
love you guys..........
love your way of lifestyle!!!!
Putting in 1000 alder on wet acre soon, like your idea of wool mulch but I think we would need more than the six ewes in our field to provide it!
Well done - alders are a great choice.
A bit early to start planting here in Sweden, but I very well might be planting some trees later this year. Perhaps even some of your poplars?

Spring's just around the corner. Even in Sweden. We have lots of poplar left..
Im gunna plant a few fruit trees in the spring when the ground thaws
I do love seeing your grass roof! It seems so magical. I have started watching your weather and I can't believe how wet it has been, and for such a long time.

What about a live hybrid willow or poplar fence? Two non poisonous trees with extreem growth. The willow will be able to handle your wetter environment better, but Ik you already have the poplars.
So green out there man out here in Colorado its always cold. It could get green here to during the spring but it doesn't last long at all
Absolutely LOVE the idea of your 'Meitheal'. Would love to create one in our community. How on earth did you start it, and how is it managed? Do you have a roster system/online calendar, rules or chore lists etc?

Scary to see just how wet it's been down in your corner of the country this year - we've actually had a dry year in North County Dublin
Yes, apparently we get nearly 3 times as much rain here as on the East coast. Not fair, is it?!
We'd be in the Irish Sea if we got as much as you do. Any heavy rain at all and the river reclaims our land
We'll be starting our orchard this year: apples, pears, and cherries. We won't plant until early April, though, because our winters here in the Midwest of the US are harsher and colder than your winters in lovely Ireland.
Sounds perfect. Good luck with those.

Regarding poplar: do the twigs root regardless of which end you stick into the ground? Is it necessary to cut the dry end so it is fresh?
I think they need to be the right way up (unlike the willows, which don't mind which way they go in). But we don't bother re-cutting the end.
Do you have ditches to help with draining the water from the land?
We have lots of ditches. They help but the problem is we have heavy clay soil (and lots of rain!)
are you going to make a video about, how to grow fuel for your tractor
It's called grass
I am not quite sure I understand the point of planting so many trees in such a small space. . . . . but it was cool to see your group work.

excellent, thank you! we actually already have a few willow saplings that have self seeded so it's nice to know it's easy enough to take cuttings.
How strong is that house to be able to hold up all that soil and moisture on its roof? It doesn’t leak i to the inside of the house?
not planting any trees but putting up.lots of fencing.
Wool around your newly planted Trees is an invitation for hungry mice.. = Death sentence.

We put in maybe 40 different types of apples/pears/cherries/nuts/etc. when we came here 10 years ago. We can honestly say we've harvested a few bucketsfull of fruit in all that time. It's just too wet here these days. (We haven't given up hope entirely though - 2 more apple trees went in this year.)
This is idyllic despite the mud. Hmmm. I get the feeling that half of what she ladles out of the hole is just going right back in...She should empty it a bit further away.
Me again! Another nice video. When moving trees from one spot to another (like you did here from roof to new place) do you find that they mind if you tear off lots of the roots when pulling them out (like in this video)? - do they still grow well?
Thanks! Learning lots and getting some good ideas from these videos.
The more roots the better, but it's hard to stop the ash trees growing. Only move them when the leaves are off, and don't let them dry out, and they should be fine. Good luck!
@@WayOutWestx2 thanks! Hope all is well with you both and the farm
Does Flora have a skip loader?
God is the wind and all is going with it. علاج البشر هو المشي + الترامبولين فقط وعلاج المناخ هو تحريك الرياح
Treatment of humans is only walking + trampoline and treating the climate is moving the wind
الترامبولين في المشي اكثر منه في الجري
The trampoline is more walking than running
No idea what you're talking about

I live in an apartment but do volunteer work with this group. The video in this article is of a live stake planting ( willow ) on a riparian edge. Easy just push it in. There is discussion of painting the stakes with latex paint and sand to protect them from Beavers
We use burlap coffee bean sacks, here in coffee country ( seattle)
You're so lucky to have beavers to worry about. They were wiped out here centuries ago. Yes, we plant willows in the same way too - but poplars are three times as fast (here, anyway).
the only native poplar here is cottonwood. They are not suitable in this location but we do plant them in other properties. The Cottonwoods are so easy that simple wind-tossed branches can take root if the soil is right . We use three different native willow on this property
