When I was little we used to take dandelion heads and fry them with salt and pepper and then eat them, you had to put a lot of salt so it didn't taste bad but I know realize it was just because we were really poor and couldn't afford food 😅

The Robertson screw head is much more convenient than a Phillips screw head. It does not slip as much. Much easier to get torq and doesn't fall off the driver as easily.

Good points Stefan! The important point is that juglan is secreted when the trees are stressed. Keep them happy and you can grow anything around them A few more juglan tolerant species: Conifers: Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) White Pine (Pinus strobus) Spruces (Picea spp.) Arborvitae (Thuja spp.) Hemlocks (Tsuga spp.) Deciduous Trees: Maple (Acer spp.), including Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) Oak (Quercus spp.), including Red and White Oaks Birch (Betula spp.), such as River Birch (Betula nigra) Beech (Fagus spp.) Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos) Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) Fruit and Nut Trees: Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) Mulberry (Morus spp.) Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) Chestnut (Castanea spp.)

That’s what I said for 10 years. Then the walnut trees matured and the nearby trees began to die en masse. We give the trees irrigation all season since they were little to limit stress to no avail.

@@StefanSobkowiak Stress can result from several sources. How are the soil conditions in these areas? Are the soils fungal dominated? Is the soil very well aerated? Indigenous bacteria found in the soil of black walnut roots, most notably Pseudomonas putida are able to metabolize juglone and use it as their primary source of energy and carbon. Because of this, juglone is not so active as a cytotoxin in well-aerated soils.

My family just bought raw land in Vernon AZ to start our homestead. We will be using permaculture design but have a question about the nitrogen fixing trees used in this equation. We are having a hard time finding nitrogen fixing trees that will thrive in our area. We are at 6800 feet and experience cold windy winters and hot summers. My question is can I use nitrogen fixing shrubs in between our fruit trees in place of the nitrogen fixing trees?

"I've replanted one area with a whole bunch of pawpaw seedlings because you can actually create a bit of a barrier from the further trees to the walnut by interplanting species that are known to be not just tolerant but that actually thrive near the walnut tree. So, research is great to start with observation. Yes, it needs to be validated, but I would say, please don't completely disregard observation because a lot of great discoveries happen first of all by observation." ... and a good few field trials too.

If you have to cut say an apple limb four inches diameter, a coat of enamal once a year each year the cut will close up, but if the paint cracks the wood will dry out and later take on moisture if wood is dead the yearly change will rot and eventually limb will break off, thTs why stay up with examineing each year till it closes up.

I just realized that I actually have years of pruning experience because I actually of two “knotted willow trees” pollard willow. In the Netherlands, parts of Germany, France we pollard the Willows each year in late fall or very early spring and the shoots are used in fences, baskets etc. The top can grow huge. In the Netherlands in the Betuwe area (fruit growing region where I live) they also have entire fields with closely planted willow trees where the stumps are as small as the small grape vine stalks in France and they harvest the branches yearly for use in all manner of products. Also have a place in France close to vineyards near the Allier where I usually go in Spring and experience the fruit blossoms on my old cherry, prune, apple and apricot trees with the snow capped peaks to the east. Come back for cherries, and harvest apples pears and the other fruits. We love walnuts and we have a few that have gone on a killing spree since they’ve had it rough a couple of dry summers. My last name is Vergeer and the French always use it as Verger which I don’t mind at all as it really is perfectly fitting my interest. Over the years visiting France a lot I’ve gotten used to the many accents and was flabbergasted how easy I could understand the Canadian French you speak on the French channel. Back in school I would not be able to. Your videos are so informative and easy to understand. It would not surprise me that you are very much the person you actually are in real life and share out of enthusiasm, passion and want to share your knowledge. An aducator and it shows. That draws in people. It is much appreciated and I hope you keep making these videos. Kudos!
