Always dreamed of a small homestead where I can graze some livestock rotationally. I thought I would plant a bunch of fruit trees as fence lines. I had no idea it was a whole thing called silvopasture

Those dry pods should have sugar in them, it should just be dry hard sugar.

@johncochran9772 4 ай бұрын

Has anyone tried fermenting the pods in a feed mix? Would it break down the seed coating enough for more nutrient absorption in animals?

I've planted a patch of black locust next to my fence line. 10 years later they started putting up shoots on the fence line , about ten feet away. This is one way another is to plant root cuttings where you want a permanant fence line. It will be big enough to hang an electric fence in about 5-7 years and barbed at about 10. Not for every one or every app, but smart for long term. Someone commented on shade factor. Animals need shade. Locust can be pollarded around 12- 14 years as well. This means your fence can produce fence posts and the foliage is great forage. Seeds may be toxic to horses though.

I was on another Post recently and one person complained of the Black Locust Thorn going right though the sole of his boot and out the top of his foot. Many complained of Flat tyres. Does the Honey Locust have the Thorn issues also, and are they attached to the Bean when they fall off the Tree?

@aaronlohr8477 8 ай бұрын

The thorns are not on the bean pods. They are on the bark and branches. There are thornless varieties. Most, but not all, wild varieties have thorns.

Are Black Locust seed pods... "Many parts of the plant, including the leaves, inner bark, young shoots, pods and seeds, are toxic to humans and many animals, with horses being particularly susceptible."

Black locust are great for fence posts, very rot resistant.

@vidinman 10 ай бұрын

I always collect these and feed them to my goats and pigs, I also think they are OK to feed them to rabbits. My old neighbor told me that when she was a little girl the children used to open the pods and eat the sweet goo from inside, I have not tried it

Honey Locust Gleditisia triacanthose does not fix nitrogen. plants.usda.gov/DocumentLibrary/plantguide/pdf/pg_gltr.pdf (That is to say, it doesn't associate with rhizobium bacteria, which does the N fixing, not the plants themselves)

I’ve used cardboard, which can be fitted closely around the trunk to exclude weed growth. I cover the cardboard with wood chips, and it’s been working pretty well. I suspect that landscaping cloth could work as well, but I am reluctant to add plastic to the soil. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Does a grafted and thorn-less tree typically produce more pods than one that has thorns??

@BossOfAllTrades 10 ай бұрын

The grafted varieties generally do produce more pods depending what tree it came from. I would assume the small energy expenditure of growing thorns wouldnt make a difference in pod production. They have very high producing varieties of cuttings from africa.

@@shnnnhickman Thank you so much for sharing that! That's going right in my homestead notes notebook. :) Are there any other similar, natural things your chickens love? At a place I was buying raw milk they were feeding their chickens raw milk and it gave the eggs a really nice texture and hard shells.

@ascendant95 Жыл бұрын

@@shnnnhickman Sorry one other question. Do you crush the leaves up at all or do you just feed them whole?

@shnnnhickman Жыл бұрын

Back to the honey locust, I focus on the smaller fresh leaves and strip the leaflets off the stems before bagging them for the freezer. If the leaf looks larger then a beak full I might cut it in half but mostly I just look for the little juicy leaves. And the list is long on what to feed the chickens. One trick we found was to leave tuna size cans out over night in the garden with the liquid from the fermented chicken feed to catch earwigs to feed to the chickens. Flax, oregano, chickweed, lamb’s quarter, millet, sorghum, clover, and dandelions in the yard for them to nibble on. They even eat the new growth of grass and raspberry leaves, and carrot and radish greens if they’re chopped up. We also leave logs or larger stones around that you can lift up to expose the insects for the birds to eat. They like to dust bath in the spots where we’ve pulled garlic out of the garden. They’ve been digging down to peck at my Sunchoke roots as well.
