Holistic Orchard Management with Michael Phillips UNCUT

[@eddy8828]

One of the best educational videos that I have watched on KZbin. Thanks to Michael Phillips and KZbin for presenting this amazing video.

[@jahliving]

Just thinking that after watching it my third time in a row 😂

[@Growinginontario]

This video is so long but I can’t get enough of it . Ive watched it 3 times already and will probably watch it many more times .The extensive knowledge of Micheal when it comes to fruit growing is mind blowing .

[@suzettesusanne6165]

This man is a hero... I will be watching this video over and over

[@galeparker1067]

Agree Suzette! 🥰 Nice to fall asleep with on... Pleasant dreams it seems.... 😂😂🥰🥰👃✌️🇨🇦

[@GrumblingGrognard]

I am a 55 year-old looking to retire and spend my last years building a permaculture orchard to leave my family. Your videos are a gold mine of information. Thank you.

[@moxa_cottage]

Where are you located? If in the northeast I can possibly offer some help with knowledge/ labor/ design etc

[@commonmancrypto1648]

That is so inspiring sir.

[@dinomiles7999]

How are you doing ? Are you still interested in the farm life ?

[@r-prizzle2168]

Be sure to plant walnut. That is a legacy cash crop.

I am 59, retired; with his book in hand and 2.73 acres of Piedmont NC land , our fruit tree 🌳 / with a focus on apples 🍎 orchard/garden is a joyful hobby indeed !

[@chrisking9424]

This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on Apple trees! What a goldmine of information! Thanks so much for doing this!

[@numinous2506]

This is one of the best channels for the blend of the academic and real world experienced approach to agriculture. Thank you so much for making this wealth of knowledge available to the public. These are worth mountains of black gold.

[@bobcat9314]

Good Lord, this will take me the rest of my life to digest..this video contains a life time of information..( not a collage course)..a life time ..I love it.. I keep telling people...we need to make t-shirts that say (SAVE THE MICROBS!).. every thing above ground is a by product, or a gift due to microbial life...they are the plant builders..

[@radrickdavis]

He is so engaging and knowledgeable. Wonderful that he shares all of his learning and experience freely, so people don't screw up their trees. This video is worth every minute to hear his golden words.

[@jeffraemilia]

And his profoundly comprehensive book on Apple growing is a joy to own and to mine for insights !

[@suzieanderson1036]

What a tapestry of wisdom, knowledge & understanding of the beauty of harmonizing with nature.! Thank you!

[@retiredbitjuggler3471]

I typically do a huge amount of browsing through KZbin content at 1.5x - 2x viewing speed to optimize my limited viewing time. I’m accustomed to hearing the term nutrient dense in relation to the subject matter I seek. However, I consider this discussion by Michael very “knowledge dense”. I actually slowed my viewing speed back to normal and rewound back to the beginning because I didn’t wish to miss a single point or word. Very well done! Thank you for an amazing contribution! Wonderful material presented in a clear and entertaining manner. I’ll be saving this one for many replays. Thanks again.

[@fattdamon1980]

this is incredible. So informative and a rare opportunity to see an orchard like this.

[@lylebrimingham7369]

Thanks for the knowledge, I live in north east Mississippi. I was told the old timers would sprinkle ashes all around very thinly under there fruit trees right as they started to bloom out so that the fresh ash would run the ground bugs out and the fresh ash would Keep the mouths away as well . The ash made the fruit crop bug free and provided minerals the tree needed . I have done this and had very good results each time I used it . The ash needs to be dry so it will dust out and spread out very thinly way out past the canopy. They all so placed burnt tin cans and nails around for iron and mineral addition. Orchards around these old house places all ways has ash and rusted cans and nails stowed all across them . They used what they had on hand to accomplish what was needed . I am trying to get some old verities growing from some old house places . But it is slow and I’m kinda struggling a bit .I have a few trees of a small green kind that is hardy and strong and am working on getting a nice strong heavy barring medium red verity that I’m trying to root this winter , again I want to thank y’all for all this knowledge I have gained from this video.

[@kathlynblack3517]

This is one of the most, or in fact, is the most informative video I have ever watched! Thank you so much. My apple trees thank you also!

[@paulbinns9375]

What a great presentation! I wish I had access to information like this when I was in my 20's many years ago. My career path would certainly not have ended in accountancy. This really is a master class. Humble thanks and appreciation.

[@billmcdonald2436]

I’m so glad I happened upon this video. Thank you very much for sharing this wealth of knowledge. It has to be well in the top 5 orchard videos on KZbin. Thank you!

[@alliecatnz]

Absolutely awesome talk! Very informative, a thorough balanced talk. So glad we found this video in our first few years of planting fruit trees in our family yard. I love the holistic fruit tree approach. And how beautiful is this woman’s orchard. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@TRINITY-ks6nw]

What a fascinating talk, and in beautiful, peaceful surroundings, the perfect conditions for learning. Thank you for sharing.

[@skeeterburke]

i have been using colloidal silver as a fungicide on my blackberry plants. now those bright orange rust spots on the leaves have turned brown. i also spray the ground, and so far it's been working well for the new growth, the leaves are spot free! i could never afford to use the stuff at the health food store, so i make my own, which to be technically correct is mostly ionic silver, but that's what you need anyway, that's the active form that causes apoptosis from the reactive oxygen species it forms silver is a broad spectrum fungicide, so i would think it works for scab too. i recently gave my uncle a bottle to spray on the drywall he was ripping out, which was covered with black mold. it's good for that too. oh! and it also kills bacteria and viruses for an orchard this big, i would probably use some kind of powered sprayer. i use an old spray bottle, and even with my 10 or so blackberry bushes, my hands get tired pretty fast thank you for the video! i loved it and just had to subscribe. i will be looking at some of your older videos too. Happy Gardening!

[@HerbyButterfly]

I have cedar apple rust on my apple trees right now, how do you make the ionic silver spray, do you mix it with a ratio of water or just as is

[@suzettesusanne6165]

This is great information! Anyway that you could give us a quick rundown of your ionic silver production method? I haven't researched it yet but since you are someone already doing, and using it, I'd like to hear from the source! ❤

[@chrisp4170]

A truly amazing place owned by an amazing woman. Fascinating video, thank you. Great explanation of scab etc.

It's fun to see that Michael already knows the answers to a lot of her questions, but wants to demonstrate the wisdom of her practice to the audience. I feel his enthusiasm ("this is my most burning question: 'How long is your ladder?'").

haha I have a standard apple a similar size, nearly went for the ladder and then remembered the tree's that big because I'm old & don't bounce anymore when I fall. I have a picker on a 30' extension pole now.

[@chuckbowen5024]

One variety that I read about in a book by Eric Sloane was the Seek no Further. It wasn't a pretty apple but apparently it was easy to propagate and fairly prolific. He said it was popular with the pioneers. I'd like to get some scions and try grafting. I remember watching my Dad do that in ND in the 70s.

[@DeborahHartSerafini]

I just bought his book and need to read it and watch this. I would love to see the orchard in this video.,

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

[@jt42arnold99]

Geeze I learned so much in this video. Amazing!

[@theresaconley5930]

When I was a kid, I was told to take out hard wood ashes from our stove and scatter the cold ashes sparingly but throughly from just outside the drip line to about a foot to 18" from the trunk of the trees in either late December through January but not doing this if if the weather starts warming up in February. If it's a very cold or a lot of snow this could extend throughout the middle of February. Did this kill harmful bugs and fertilize the soil or what was the purpose of this? I know hardwood ashes makes lie when water leaches through the ashes. Then I was told to go to the trees that didn't produce well and take a shovel and follow a circle along outside of the drip line and every 3' - 4' stick the shovel straight down in the dirt then skip 3' - 4' and repete this all the way around the tree. If I remember right this was done around the end of October. Did this encourage new feeder root growth and fertilize the tree by the decomposition of the feeder roots? I think I sprinkled epsom salt in March and lime after the trees stopped flowering in spring. Flower bulbs were either scattered and planted in fall or early spring to naturalize under the trees. I think this was done to keep the soil lighter so nurishment could pass through to the feeder roots easier. Are these processes right and in the order I think I remember them? I don't want to damage trees now.

[@alansurprenant8614]

Theresa~ from my own experience I don't believe doing any of these horticultural practices will hurt your trees. Keep a good orchard journal now and next year share your thoughts/observations of what happened. We can all learn from sharing our experiences with each other. And then do it agin the following year. Thanks. Alan Surprenant Brook Farm Orchard Ashfield MA

[@RockTownCandy]

Ah~ha! moment! So this happened to my lemon trees, and blueberry bush!! I thought it was something like a big rain! It happened shortly after we got rain for two days straight. in zone 5b... I noticed what appeared to be mold spots appearing on the leaves, so I just wiped it with my fingers. As I was wiping, it came off no issues, however...the bluberry bush, still young, leaves totally taken out! I just stripped all the leaves, sprayed it down good with neem oil spray, and prayed for new leaves at least by end of October...I'll be storing them inside for the winter...

[@candygarfield1479]

Ive been clearing the dead trees and brush in an 8 acre woods out back of my friends house. I use hard wood for her house wood/ coal burner and the pine must be burned on site due to bore beetles tgat are killing them. I have now about 50% direct sun, a couple of about an acre "Hollars" after getting rid of burdock n poison ivy and trees they killed. This is year 4. And all along i put produce cuttings, seeds, eyed potatoes, ect. And alot is growing. Now im looking to take splits from my friit trees at my house and graft them to saplings in her woods . And maybe il get to the nursery to get the last fruit trees on clearance ( my own are from thise clearance sales , and doing great. My apples had apples this year. But we had soooo much rain this year. Nothing did excellent, new plant either got drowned or steamed. Lol but its all lestning curves.

[@econoroller]

GREAT video, thank you! do you mind if I ask, what are your thoughts on spinosad? I have a Haraldson apple tree that grew nicely, produced well too. Then next time when it's "boon" producing year came around, it got tent caterpillars of some kind I'd never seen before. I cut the badly affected branches and burned them, then sprayed the tree with spinosad solution I'd made from Monterey's concentrate. It worked well, but they either came back, or their after effects tainted all of the fruit...it looked ok on the exterior, but sliced open, it revealed tiny specks that looked like bruises. Under a microscope I couldn't see any egg or insect. I wanted to water in more spinosad, but I'd never used it on a fruit tree. And I wasn't convinced I was battling a bug or some strange fungus? -any suggestions? any thoughts or experience on using spinosad as a systemic on apple trees? P.S., a few neighbors apple trees were decimated by whatever this pest was...it left their trees looking stripped and unhealthy. Mine was abit more lucky, could it be coz of the treatments I did with spinosad? It's worked VERY well watered in with my garden veggies, etc. and has a micronutrient action they seem to love. But I wonder about apple trees...I've not done any water in regiment with it, kindof spooked!.

"its all about the biology and not the chemistry." around 2:55:00 ish i disagree. if you dont have boron in your soil, it doesnt magically appear. im not discounting biology. if an area has higher boron levels, yes they can transfer to the lower areas with biology. biology and chemistry are both important. if you favor one over the other, one area is going to suffer. my approach is provide the elements that your soil is lacking. then work on your biology. i notice there isnt a balanced approach. people are either one way nuts about chemicals or organics. your adding inputs one way or the other to improve a depleted soil. how fast do you want the changes to occur.
