Join me for the 2nd of a 5 part tour of our orchard, finishing up the portion that includes the poultry run. Here, we'll look at the ups and downs of keeping poultry in the orchard.

We used to have an English Walnut tree. No problems growing things under or around it. Only heard that about black walnuts. It was interesting. First frost, it would drop all its leaves at once. Developed a problem and we had to take it out. Was dying a slow death, bore of some kind. Now there's a vine Maple in its place. Thank you for the videos. Very interesting and informative. I'm enjoying the "tour" series. I'll be watching others as I have time. 😉

Your videos are so helpful for me !! I'm new to Oregon just moved here in December and was very apprehensive on what trees to pick for this climate. I knew I wanted certain trees but was told good luck!!! This is our first spring here and I have just planted the Illinois ever bearing mulberry, the dessert king fig, the li jujube, Hollywood plum and a few different varieties of raspberries. Now seeing you have many of these and they have been successful I can breathe, thank you!! I plan and soaking up all I can from you 😊

Enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing...I agree with your thoughts on Burnt Ridge Nursery, you might also try Raintree nursery.

That elderberry is more like a black beauty. Black lace has 'lacey' leaves. I've got a few in my garden.

I agree. My black lace is lacey. The one in the video isn,t.

I have a nice russet Apple too that came with the land we got a few years ago. They taste like honey and leave the taste of pears on your lips. I don't know if it's a named cultivar. I was told they were wild by the last owner who had the land several decades. They are very tiny apples like crab size even if I thin the apples. They are one of the best tasting apples I have ever eaten though.

Maybe you could grow some buckwheat when the run is resting so when chickens come back they have some yummy high protein fast growing food to munch on.

Do you still have the silver berry in your orchard? We moved to a new house that has a HUGE one! I was considering removing it as it is seeding all over the yard. But if it will be good for the chickens, we may leave it. Thanks for the wonderful channel.

I had read that rhubarb was toxic to chickens. I had some elephant rhubarb that the chickens loved but was told it was dangerous.

My chickens aren’t bothered by it, probably because they don’t really eat it.

very nice to follow you in the tour of the poultry. i was waiting for some citrus too... you dont have them at all in the farm, or only in the chicken run? actually i was very curious about your grazing rotation. i find that really effective and easy to reproduce. my question is you mentioned the ladies would not be allowed in one part "after a week"... but you didnt mention (1) how long they stayed there? and (2) for how long the run would be allowed to regenerate?

funny you should mention poor root formation on the Jujube.One I purchased had the same problem, and after a number of months, the graft died when it set fruit. Basically there is one licenced grower/supplier to nurseries in Australia, and the nurseries want $130, so don't feel bad if you lose one lol.

Ugh, that is so frustrating! I hope you were able to find a replacement!

You should consider trying tree collards and American persimmons!!

Hello, love your tour. You mentioned some nurseries. Could you share the names? Do you think they would ship to Canada? Interested in checking out our options for native plants too.

Found your videos while searching for persimmon guilds. Subscribed bc you obviously know what you're doing. 😉 Why not zip tie a hardware cloth in a tall circle instead of a tomato cage to protect young plants. When my chickens free range, they leave the established plants alone (except in my "yard" which is now off limits).

wow! I learned so much! I am very impressed by your plant knowledge and chicken experiences... what do you say about walnut trees? did you put any in? I put in a couple of saplings, then found out about their toxic tendencies and am considering tearing them out...
@ParkrosePermaculture7 жыл бұрын
I don't have any walnuts - the only nuts we have are hazelnuts (squirrel-planted!). Yeah, walnuts secrete juglone to prevent other plants from growing. Our neighbors have black walnuts, so if the zombie apocalypse hits, there are loads of nuts in the neighborhood to forage from.

do you spray your trees? i have not sprayed mine and the fruit is just not edible because of so many bug holes...i give to the chickens...

What is that heirloom apple you talked about (alternate bearing)? I couldn't catch the name.
@ParkrosePermaculture7 жыл бұрын
Ashmead's Kernel. It isn't truly alternate, but it sets really heavy crops some years and light crops some years.

Hi, what was the berry you mentioned? Goomieberry?
@catholicraven6 жыл бұрын
It's a Goumi berry, Elaeagnus multiflora. Other names include natsugumi, gumi, cherry silverberry. She has an earlier video about it, also, that can tell you lots more. :-)
