We're the Future: Our permaculture tree guild

[parkerjwill]

Awesome work! Such a simple effort to effect such a major change. Cool! I want to help people live simpler lives so they can focus on the important stuff.

I live in Utah (SLC) if anyone's interested in getting together.

nice job. for the fruit trees you planted you want to grow open center, rather than leader or modified leader. the best way is to select 4 scaffold branches, then cut the leader off just above 4 equally spaced scaffold branches. if your going to just go with the whip, you can get some bamboo and soft green tie and force the branches out to the open center position. if you dont have nice scaffold and want to make the tree easy to harvest just cut it off knee high,and select scafolds @1 year end.

(Prairie zephyr:) Bioneers! Great job of using nature to build out from the tree. Will recycle the cardboard idea!

[Beardedyoungman]

Cool! A tree guild! Hows that work?

[DoctorsWife56]

Don't for get your pollinators.

Gardens, local farms and foraging are the answers to the disaster that is our agricultural system. Big ag tortures billions of animals annually, destroys soil, exploits and ruins the health of its workers, and is one of the main contributors to our reliance upon oil from oil based pesticides and fertilizers.

[HomesteadProvocateur]

Nice, make sure you inoculate those holes with some mychorrizal fungi and mulch em with wood chips. They are being introduced into a monoculture, and could use a little help from mr mushroom getting established. It will help the lawns too! Ah, ok, I see you guys are doing that.. Sweet!

[AdamHintz]

Hopefully the compost I made will do the job. I will do some more intentional inoculating in another part of the property.

[donHooligan]

too cool.

right the f*ck on, man.

[AdamHintz]

Thanks bro.

[NWforager]

Awesome . Love to see this pushed into the norm for folks with property. Next big step is food plants on Public property around the neighborhoods.

[AdamHintz]

I plan on working from my house outward into public spaces and the homes of others interested.

[Noz7777]

The healthiest and best food comes from your home garden. There is nothing better.

I'm talking health, taste plus all the textbook sustainability aspects.

Smart people, healthy people.. garden.

What is it that makes it weird or abnormal?

Nothing at all...

[AdamHintz]

This is what sustainability's all about.

[EvolFighter]

great work man. this is wonderful. I'm glowing after watching this. It makes me happy. Keep up the good work!

[AdamHintz]

Thanks. Your encouragment to document things being done at the community level has given me lots of inspiration. As I've said before, there's more to come.

[AdamHintz]

Thanks Dario. Our common goals of doing permaculture helped me know that this is the right step to take toward sustainability.

[Decky11]

lovely!!!!!

i love seeing people work together to help the earth

there were a lot of good vibes there

thanks for sharing.... you are doing so much

[AdamHintz]

The good vibes were almost overwhelming. Many of us were understanding that real change was happening before our eyes and through our hands.

[ItsFilthy]

So cool Adam...what a great day. Thanks for sharing.

Haha...bioneers...that's clever. :o) bioneering the future. :op respect!

[AdamHintz]

We are the trailblazers right? :)

[sammieluvsdoomy]

Very Cool =)

[REXMARX003]

This video makes me smile.

[E1GHTY8]

hey this is the comment I wanted to make. What a happy place to be planting trees with your community.

[AdamHintz]

I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful community who's willing to work together to attain our common goal. It wasn't just gardening, it was a party.

[Deathicorn]

1:04 made me really hungry for some reason like dirt was delicious and I needed to make a dirt sammich.

Awesome vid!

[AdamHintz]

It was a very "organic" experience. Getting your hands dirty is very satisfying.

[desertblbuesman]

as "dirty" is really clean, we should maybe come up with a new word for really dirty, ie: oily or chemically to differentiate from "soily'.

[desertblbuesman]

very nice. Funny thing about lawn grass. it comes to us from English nobility. Only they could afford servants to keep it trimmed. Love the slow transforming of that yard/street.

[AdamHintz]

I also heard it's from the nobility and the fact they had enough sheep to keep it well grazed.

[desertblbuesman]

yes, that too. I think they are the first to conceptualize a formal garden for decoration only, with grass as ornament. The whole idea of grass as ornament seems kind of ludicrous to me these days. :) Maybe a small place to lay on, kneel on, make love on, or as a SMALL ornament of art would be nice, but the grand lawn???? I just don't get it at all anymore. :(. I guess what I was getting at was this another brick in the wall, of separation from needed resources . Well you know .notalkgoodsumtim

[yellowtreat]

Great video Adam! Who are these bioneers, local group?

[mikezephyr]

hey, fun stuff!

is that eddie vedder?

[stripe64]

Yes, from the Into the Wild soundtrack.

[AdamHintz]

Vedder is a big influence of mine. I thought it would be apropriate to play his music.

[ozjthomas]

Nice. Thanks. =)

[AdamHintz]

Thanks for suggesting Gia's Garden. Without your encouragment this wouldn't have happened.

[brokendave]

very nice. I can't wait to have a place of my own someday that I can do this with :)

[AzraelsJudgement]

Me too

[DANE842]

thirded.

[AdamHintz]

I plan on doing a video for people who don't have their own place. Very small scale stuff, but it could help.

[bbbleaver]

beautiful adam. this is so inspiring.

this is crazy ann! enjoy the lunacy while it lasts.

[AdamHintz]

From someone who has inspired me greatly, It's nice to know it's being recipricated.

[AzraelsJudgement]

Sweeet

[AdamHintz]

I was a great day. Like shackles being broken. Hopfully the peaches and pears will be just as sweet!
