- Explore my favourite / most cost effective propagation methods for expanding my own food forests and syntropic agroforestry projects (fruit and nut trees, biomass plant propagation etc)
Learn about the construction and design of air prune beds and other common nursery propagation methods
Yeah, love the air beds, in years of greenhouse and propagation I wasn't aware of this technique. As someone who is also producing for large scale projects I can see this is a huge asset, save in soil, pots space, all of the labor of potting and potting up, weeding individual pots, for sure my whole system just got an upgrade. Much thanks for the quality shares and work 🙏
Amazing thank you ! Air beds would also be great if you don’t have land yet but want to have fruit trees ready for when you do? This is so much better than all my pots :)
Good point👍🏻
That's true depending how long until you getting land 1 year probably the max. As if leave for longer they will get wider side roots and get really tangled with each other.
Which could lead them fighting for nutrients and be hard separate and when separating when entangled some won't survive the shock
I am about to binge watch all of your content over the next few days. ❤
Hope you enjoy 🤝🤝
awesome video!! i have some question. how do you take the seedlings from the air bed to the soil, doest the roots intertwine with each other? also i have read that developing a strog tap root in dry climates maximizes plant acces to water, does ths method affect that?
Love all your videos and your excitement. First time I see these air beds, awesome!! Syntropic is just such Gold!!! Love to see more videos. We have a smaller system near Brisbane in a more drought area.
Always new things to learn and get excited about :-)!!!!
PS: Didn't know I can make cuttings of papaya trees. Never heard it before. Yay. Thank you!!! I try that.
Fantastic very helpful video thank you
Love your work. I have learned so much from your channel. Thanks.
This content is super valuable.
Glad you think so!
Epic video Bro thanks for sharing!
How beautiful it is to work with the abundance of plants and expand them, pura vida 🧙🏼♂️
fantastic, building this tomorrow
Me watching this after buying 300 pots. I’m punching the air right now.
Great advice.
this is the best source of food forest information I have ever seen anywhere - thanks and greetings from Serbia
Wow, thank you!
wow great vid tks
Hello Byron. I.m KAI from Switzerland and Will start to do a Food forest in Dominican Republic . Will start with your inspiration and Connect with local to show this idea. Where i can buy some seeds ? Do you sell ? Will be great. And thanks again for all the info….. life is beatifull. Best to you. KAI from the sky
Thanks this is helpful i been starting my farm trees from seeds or propagation and this really helps.
Glad to help
Fantastic! Please do a video on your approach to establishing your tree and accumulator beds. Thanks!
Freaking heck man we learnt so much from this! You’re so inspirational! 🤩
Legends!
This video is great, I was thinking and calculating the money I would need for all those trees, when I got to see this video of yours. One thing I would like to know is what type of trees should one start with air pruning?
Jesus, you're rapid. Good teacher you are😊
Thanks, this ones very helpful!
Wow, amazing planting tips from you. I'm so grateful for all these propagation lessons Byron. Keep up👍
Howdy! I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome content you are creating. Please keep it coming!!!!
This is a gamechanger! Thank you!!
Loving this inspiration. 🍒
Excellent video ,great propagating techniques please keep them coming.
Another great informative video! Thanks bro!
Good one bro!
thanks for all the knowledge shared! I wonder how you manage to separate the trees from the air prune beds, as they are tghtly packed
Great stuff Byron, thank you for sharing, and your passion.
Great video!, thanks so much Byron for putting your time and energy into explaining everything so thoroughly.
I will definitely be looking more into bio mass support species, which by the looks are easy to propagate.
i enjoy watching this info, share more of the process as you do it if possible. I will be starting a food forest in 3-5 months from now. can't wait to continue learning and applying tactics soon!
Do you have for hot climate?? Thanks for all your info. I love it. I want to do my forest food in Nicaragua
I really enjoyed this video. It was very cool to see the air prune beds. I just wanted to know about where you source your seeds? Which you said you would share in the video but never got to. It was still an awesome video, keep up the good work.
Seed sourcing comes from all around the north island. I’ve developed a strong network of growers here to share and swap seeds/material with. An underrated part of agroforestry
Just amazing. Dude you're a force for good. I have learned a tonne in less than 10 min❤
Great to hear!
I don’t suppose you could put up the design of the different sections (propagation, bio mass, small berries, citrus etc) and explain your why they are placed there. Such a great video full of info.
Depending on type plant it's best graft variety you wzmt if don't want wait long time for fruit or the fruit is slightly different to completely different then seed Depending on type tree.
But the grafting process could easily be done after they planted as the stems need get to certain diameter before grafting
That was so good! Thank you, keep up the good work, friend!
This is amazing! What plants would you recommend to start off with? I'm going to be moving in a years time and want to get started now!
I have a few dozen sprouted chestnuts in my fridge, would it make sense to transfer them to an air prune bed? It's around 30°C here now, should I let the sprouts acclimatize first, let's say at room temperature? Btw I think prune beds are a great space-saving idea! I was planning to buy my own place with lots of land this Spring (northern hemisphere), but due to family circumstances I'm stuck in a village helping my mother for a few more months. I have been growing trees from seed in containers, but the mice, the squirrels and other assorted fauna are giving me a hard time ;-). Much love from Belgium!
Thanks for sharing. What’s the hole size of the wire mesh you are using for the air prune beds?
How do I foundationally plant for the climate in Armidale, NSW, Australia?
Do you ever grow other things besides nut/fruit trees can you grow any Cuttings?
Yep cuttings also work great
Do the roots get tangled together with planting that dense on the air pruning beds? Or do you have tips on separating if they do?
They don’t tangle much (surprisingly) - Easy to remove with a hand trowel. See a recent Instagram video demonstrating: instagram.com/reel/Ct_DYf8g8FI/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
any idea if we can get Bana grass in Europe?
Where do you find seeds for things like cherimoya? I don’t see any online or fruit for sale
How do you take them out without damaging? Since it’s sand and loose soil do they just kinda come out with some gentle pulling then they’re ready to go?
Exactly
You’ve got some tradescantia (wandering vine) under your airpruners..I have such massive problems with that, how do you manage it?
I don’t manage it there - Only remove it from the systems when it makes its way in from the edges
I've tried just river sand and hardly any my cuttingsnor seeds strike I'm not sure what I'm going wrong
What type of soil is the best for cuttings if you have problems with getting them rooted?
Free draining medium - Add perlite?
@@byron.in.new.zealand thanks!
Lovely to see a propagation vid. I have one air prune bed with chestnut and walnut. Do you cut your Jerusalem artichokes for biomass in the growing season and if so would it make sense in a cold climate (zone 7)?
I'm zone 5b/6, arid, and my sunchokes get about 8 feet tall. I use them for a privacy hedge.
Isn't a metal mosquito net more acceptable and durable than a plastic shade cloth/net?
The wire mesh alone doesn’t hold soil from falling out as effectively. Combined they do really well
@@byron.in.new.zealand

Misunderstanding...
I thought that the existing wire net should remain and that a metal mosquito net should be placed instead of the shade cloth/net...
Because of the durability of the material, even more so because of avoiding the use of plastic...
I like the idea itself and will definitely try it out (with metal mosquito net 😉)...
