Removing old and planting new trees

[@Ants_Pants]

Hi and have a great weekend everyone

[@mobiousenigma]

ants threes 2 schools of thought on beavers 1 they cut trees and flood land 2 cutting trees and flooding land promotes aquifer regeneration habitat for wildlife and wetlands which filter pollutants leaving fresh flowing water, i am not going to decide which is more correct for your situation... another solution is to remove the ditch by laying pipe and burrying it removing the oppertunity for beavers to follow there instict to slow flowing water. thanks for the videos

[@tottiresch102]

I would have to agree with you on this one because I can actually sit here watching him for ours, the dude is way too interesting and smart not to watch him other then he’s just like able.

[@jonathancook4022]

Like a 24hr live stream?

[@jimmytew9468]

When I first found his the channel I went back and watched all of the videos. Being retired I have lots of free time in the winter plus I've had to have my 3rd neck surgery. Sure wish I'd paced myself watching them but I couldn't. LoL

[@gwbaker]

Take care of your ankle, Andris! I blew the ligaments in my ankle some years ago and didn't realize I had done so much damage because the swelling went down and it healed. I later discovered that the rest of my body and the other leg had to do all the work stabilizing the weaker side. I had the ankle repaired 6 months ago and the difference is striking!. So, please get it diagnosed and taken care of.

[@Ants_Pants]

Ok

[@Joe-mf4jx]

I remember when you wrote that 10k message. Now you’re five times larger. Much deserved and I’m surprised it isn’t 100 times larger

[@Ants_Pants]

Maybe one day

[@deborahfaulk5532]

Hi Andris. I hope your ankle is feeling better! I have watched all of your videos, I had pneumonia last month and was in the hospital for a week and am finally feeling human again 😊 I hope you have a great week, take care

Ohh that sucks. Ankle is healing but so slowly lol... Hope you feel better

Take note of the area that "smoke" went. Those are spores and you'll have a bumper crop of puff balls (what we call 'em here) next year.

[@Ants_Pants]

Thats good

[@Sparkey]

Hey, it's the one man army again, right on time! Thanks Andris.

[@Ants_Pants]

[@madmodders]

The smoke from the mushrooms are the spores. When ju smash them, you're helping them spread. :)

Man I love watching old blue and the trailer off roading and putting in work! Really hope your ankle heals up brother!

Hey how about a video on Estonia foods? Like what is your favorite food your family cooks? I think that would be cool or show a bbq that your family has? Love your content

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks for the idea!

[@thaiexodus2916]

I think neat and orderly stacks of logs for firewood is something that only happens on a persons neighbors land, and in fairy tales. Doesn't matter how much time you spend neatly stacking and sorting, the moment you pause and look at your handwork it turns into an unholy mess. It's some sort of magic. My father was caretaker of a camp around 1980 in the arid foothills north of Los Angeles. We contacted the forestry service which gave us 5000 seedling native trees. Dial the years forward to the present. That 54 acres of camp can easily be found on Google earth standing out as the only conifer forest within 100 miles in any direction.

[@Sparkey]

We call those smoke bomb mushrooms Bulls Farts in Wicklow, Ireland. By the way that smoke is trillions of spores, I wouldn't breath it in.

[@RectalRooter]

Had a thought. I'm thinking about using all that brush and other tree stuff for the area you have been talking about putting gravel or removing the dirt. Could spreading the wood stuff around and drive over it with the bulldozer and doing some pivot steering. Mixing the wood and dirt. Then you can say you have a composite work area lol I think it would give a better surface to place gravel - so the gravel doesn't sink into the ground

[@Ants_Pants]

Hmm. Yup just need a wood shredder

[@RectalRooter]

@@Ants_Pants I think you are right. You would have to use a powerful wood chipper to do it, it would take to long if you did not. I wonder how big a piece of wood could the bulldozer break apart by driving and pivoting over the wood. I also see a problem with mud. Because you would still have dirt on top of the broken / chipped wood.

[@Melicoy]

Thanks. Note: Place shovel in the ground push forward Leave shovel in ground add tree in ground behind shovel then remove shovel. Done.

Hi Andris, great to see how you replace what you harvest. A lot of trees are cut and not replaced. But this is land care and management. It's your ethic, that I Think ,brings people to your channel. Folks recognise how you care for what you have and ensure it's longevity. But I think, you're just a good guy, with a good bead on life. Take care.

[@quicklistmovies]

Hey ants! Nice video again. I suggest making a brush/stick wall. Just pile them in a line around the edge of you property and leave them. Lots of animals and insects love to live in those :) We have been doing this for a long time in the Netherlands and it makes for a great wall I think! Good luck with your ankel

You must spread the root ball before planting. Otherwise roots will not spread properly and it will have weaker support.

[@Imatrucker100]

Those fuzzy dice 😅😅❤

[@Ants_Pants]

😄

[@chrisoakey9841]

With all the trees you do, you need to automate your planting. If you make a wheel for your hobo mount to be driven by hydraulics, you can put a cone on it with tube curling a third of the way so it pokes a hole and then rolls forward dropping the sapling in. And you dirve on placeing the next sapling in the tube ready for gravity.

[@rocknrolla3114]

Maybe chip the branches and use the chips on your muddy trail.

[@Bmmcclellan]

Here in the is there is a mulched type attachment for a bobcat. They use them to grind brush and stumps.

[@stigsimo]

friday complete

[@neilgvanluven1692]

You should have one large hole as your burn pit - you will need this every year. A good place would be the dry creek bed that you feel is full of rocks.

[@Ants_Pants]

🤔👍

If you could you should rent a wood shipper and spju it out in the forest thats the best thing to do 🙂

[@davidstoddard9160]

Since that one area the trees are too close, now would be a great time to get the spacing corrected, and take the extra pine trees to the bare areas , I would say no closer than 5 meters from each other will be just fine.

[@Ants_Pants]

It is said that 2.5 is recommended

A really quick and fast truck tip on those 🌲 tree's you're replanting into the ground. Is to use some plastic rods.,or rebar rubber coated and string around them.

[@zzzires5045]

Looks like you have enough wood for a bit of a palasaide there Andris, im sure supermom would love something so defensible around her veggies ;) Id say upgrade your current excavator just due to its heavier and will allow more angles of manipulation ie can drive and push logs

[@everestyeti]

Really like that you're replanting trees, as it's sustainable forestry any product you sell can carry a premium. Deer and rabbits just love saplings, you might want to get some spiral covers for them. Those puffball mushrooms, that's not smok it's spores and if you have any type of fungi, mushrooms, toadstools it just shows that your soil and the environment they are in is really healthy so good on you. Nice of Santa Claus to help out, re your ankle you need to give it some hot and cold treatment, you can do it at home and it's free. With your back, it's probably not just planting trees, your body will be reacting to your ankle pain, your back will be compensating and trying to rebalance itself. Heat treatment will help, so spending some time in the sauna would be good. As someone who has lifelong spinal issues, apart from the pain killers and muscle relaxants I have to take daily, heat really helps. Great filming Ants. 👍

[@Ants_Pants]

Hope i can avoid that. Currently i do back and hip exercises daily hoping to keep them muscles strong

[@mrsb33]

When the weather is consistently warm, I’d pull some of that dead grass from around your saplings. The ones that are too close together can be transplanted in the fall.
