  1. Excellent ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

    Gave a like ๐Ÿ˜Š I subscribed to your channel ๐Ÿฅ‡ Keep it Comming Homie ๐Ÿ™
    Many Men..

  2. Hi William! Just found you! And I'm loving this video! Quick question… At 26:43, you talk about adding amendments to the top of the soil because that's how the roots absorb… Is this true for just blueberries or for all things planted? ๐Ÿค”

  3. So all I need now is a swale ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿฅด Perhaps you have a video in mind you can direct me to? Please & Thank you! So very much!! Driving to TSC as i type this ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

  4. My local TSC does not have any bare root trees, just potted ๐Ÿซค Lowe's has a selection but they start around $40 for bare root ๐Ÿ˜ณ That's quite the difference from TSC's price… ugh
    Off to find some local nurseries. Wondering which other fruit trees would work with this basic guild? I'm in North FL 8b, have anything in mind, off the top of your head? Thank you again for this great, highly informative video, I haven't been this excited since I found out about raising BSFL in Africa ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ Have a great day! Blessed & beautiful! ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

  5. Good advice on recommending comfrey, and specifying not to harvest the root if it's in a guild. Comfrey is great for mulching, and the root is said to be a valuable medicinal, but you want that comfrey to stay in the guild anyway, because it serves a valuable purpose in bringing nutrients up to the surface through it's taproot. The good news is that comfrey is hardy, and proliferates fairly well, so you'll wind up with more, if you allow it.

    Great content. I'd love to hear about you got into this line of work. Permaculture is an interest of mine, and I've been considering pursuing it.

  6. just as a note: apple is in the large (huge) rose family. Pear is not. so in an ideal world what you are looking for is Nitrogen fixer, and then two different families entirely
    to avoid disease or problem insect transmission. now sometimes you might need to put two rose family next to each other, but the idea is to avoid things that are susceptible to the same things!

  7. Am I too late to plant this? Zone 8a, east of Dallas. And are potted trees okay if we can find bareroot? Would we discard the soil in the pot?

  8. This is soo much information, so well spoken, so how cool is that land you're on! Wind chimes and geese. Actually relaxing as well as educational

  9. Blueberry farmer here. You should have pruned those blueberries when planting to provide for proper growth this season.

  10. Just found your channel! I am slowing starting a fruit orchard. I have been buying trees in pots.. was skeptical about buying bare roots . After watching this video – bare roots will be my next purchase . – zone 8 Louisiana

  11. Of course I love the idea of strawberries but will herbs such as oregano also work for ground cover. Also what about clover in the area around it for nitrogen fixing?

  12. Hey William, thanks for this excellent video. Our open space has invasive Bermuda grass. Any recommendations for starting my fruit tree guilds with that dreadful grass out there?

  13. Love the hatโ€ฆ.I found a .223 round going through some stuff a few days ago where I had written pedophile vaccine on it.

  14. Hey just came across this and still very much learning about permaculture… Can your type of layout also work for apple trees? If not what works best with them? Same with peach trees?

  15. strawberrys,,,, yep i need more bugs around my fruit trees,,,,,,, ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿคก

  16. Interesting. I honestly despise the use of cardboard. Iโ€™ve seen it last 8-10 years without breaking down, and it reduces water infiltration. Say you have a 2 inch rain, with cardboard all but maybe a 1/4 inch of that runs off. I use clean 2-3 year old compost a few inches deep and itโ€™s quite effective at eliminating weeds.

  17. I learned so much from your video today then I have in a while!! Thank you. Still learning. But I have a better handle on permaculture now. More excited!

  18. No exaggeration…I have been consuming permaculture videos all winter while planning out a hillside project. I resigned myself to planting next year, as we just finished getting a hedge started to act as a natural deer fence, and I felt like I had too many questions still.

    This video has me convinced that I can confidently get plants in the ground this month.

    Thank you for such an informative presentation!

  19. I was told apple and pear trees can pass diseases to each other. I didnt research it as I only have pear trees. Would be cool to see down the road if you have any issues.

  20. I learned two things in the first 8 mins alone. Plant the tree on the strong side facing the direction from where the winds blow. And that bare root trees acclimate faster to native soil versus potted plants.

  21. Iโ€™ve been gardening with ornamentals and natives, and recently started growing food, for a long time here in MN. Iโ€™ve known that soil health is really important but I never knew whatโ€™s going on at the microbe level until watching your videos. I look forward to learning more from you in your videos. Thank you!

  22. Love this presentation of permaculture! Simple info for us newbies. I will be implementing these principals ASAP. Btw, I have โ€˜lovelyโ€™ clay soil in TX 8b.

  23. You have an amazing system. Your videos have so many practical tips I will be watching this one again and taking notes. You are an amazing teacher. Please think about coming up for The Common Ground Fair. We live down the road and you are welcomed to camp out here and I will feed you.

  24. So did any of that grow? I bought some organic garlic last from the grocery store, it didn't grow. ๐Ÿ˜ž
    I bought 2 blueberry bushes in early spring. 1 died & the other has struggled. I bought some stuff for the blueberries, a fertilizer type that i add once a month ir twice if i remember. In an area near the house we have some cedar tree's (didn't know they were red cedar until i cut some down) but the blueberry is there, onion sets, Asparagus potatoes & strawberries. I planted corn but the chicken's needed a snack. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

  25. You may want to stake down the cardboard so it doesnโ€™t get rotated after planting. If it gets caught on something driving by or someone walking by, then most your plants will be covered by the cardboard and die.

  26. Thanks for this video! I have been slowly turning my fruit orchard into a food forest one tree guild at a time. Seeing this video establishing a whole guild from start (along with your expertise) has been the best fruit tree guild videos I've seen.
