Heeling in Trees – SIMPLE system for winter storage



http://www.edibleacres.org
We ‘heel in’ trees, shrubs and even perennial herbaceous plants every fall. This very simple system, which is basically communally planting in good garden soil for the winter and then pulling plants early spring before they wake up and either selling them, potting them, planting them out or giving them away, has worked incredibly well for us for years and years and years.
Sometimes simple solutions can do amazing work in our lives!!!

  1. Great idea Sean, I've noted you doing this in numerous past videos too. I suppose this works with smaller numbers of woody characters as well. Like a dozen or less?

  2. Thank you so much! Very timely advice, I've got some things to do this very thing this week
    Thank you Sean and Juan

  3. I have about 250 Harbin pear seedlings ready to go in. We still didnt plant our garlic, we have 85 lbs harvested this summer. Do you soak your garlic with peroxide? We had a bad mite infestation. How the pregnancy going?

  4. Question: will letting them grow where they've been planted from seed all winter make it more difficult or better come spring replant. Healing in? Or growing where started? I don't have as many trees as you so it's easy enough to identify and dig up. Which is better?

  5. Juan has lost a lot of weight it must be a big plus to his health he even looks stronger and more excited. Cheers
    Gardening and close friends does a body good. Cheers
