Today we talk about… well, mostly bugs. We also talk about peach leaf curl, some guilds, and the value of intrusive herbaceous layers into tree canopies.

Great vid! Thanks for the tour
I'm from B.C. and the edges of our acreage is all blackberry. i have pulled some and then put cardboard and 1 to 2 feet of wood chips and they are still coming back. So annoying!
Bees saying "holy smokes" when they see your garden…I am looking to my bees saying that too.
are you on city water or a well?
Just got a dozen acres in northern(ish) Minnesota. Overwhelmed with getting started
The fungus that causes it is in the tree itself and the soil, the leaf curl won't go away with just picking the leaves. It can kill your tree eventually.
We had leaf curl and used essential oils to treat the fungal issue successfully
Spraying thyme (strong) tea. Or garlic juice h1s both done well for me. Thyme tea ATTRACTED bees so it’s probably not bad for them
Beautiful way to start my day! I have six pawpaws in various stages of maturity. When I got them, they were so tiny, and some are still so small. Two of the three out front are finally about shoulder height after four or five years…I'm hoping that once the root system is established they will put on some serious growth on top. I knew that I'd have to wait a while. It was good to see the size of your trees that are now in flower, but it makes me realize that I probably have a few more years of waiting…I am getting so eager to have some fruit from them. It's killing me, because I knew of pawpaw trees and thought about planting them 15 years ago, but the description of the fruit made me question whether I'd like them. Then I tasted one a few years ago, and was kicking myself for not planting any sooner! Of all the fruit I have growing, this is the one I am most eager to have…well, that and the kiwi and persimmons. Patience comes to those who wait!
I give "weeds" a very classy slate nametag. Keeps hubby from weeding them out and visitors are intrigued or ’reassured’ i guess. Oh, and help me retain their names. The garden is getting very diverse !
Are you still in Canada or somewhere else?
It could take the insects a few years to get on to pollinating your paw paws I would rather play it safe by hand pollinating the lower 2/3 of the tree then you'll know if the insects are doing their job if the top 1/3 of the tree gets pollinated. You could be kissing away allot of delicious fruits!
Best time to start your paradise? Ten years ago.
Second best time? TODAY!
Always enjoy walking through your spot. Waterfall is beautiful. Only thing that was ugly was that blue maple leaf haha. Lets go Red Wings!
Alien hairy looking thing? The plant?
Food forest…no food.
Stefan sobkowiak suggests using whey.
Garlic spray will get rid of peach leaf curl
stop planting dandelions you punk anarchist 😂😂
thanks for sharing your knowledge 😉
The forrest is looking great!!
32 Seconds into the video and I'm saying, YES,YES, YES!!! Take me there until I can have my own!!
Great tour. What a great space to relax in
The alien hair thing… Prairie Smoke!
I'm about maybe 35%-40% finished with sheet mulching my back yard and converting the lawn into a food forest. I was just out there with my son earlier today and as we were looking at the yard as a whole, it was really interesting just how much life there was in the food forest as compared to the grass. There's really just nothing in the grass at all, but the food forest had hundreds of bees, some spiders, a beetle, some other flying insects that I couldn't identify, and a dragonfly zooming overhead.
