Thank you Franny!

This year we bought trees in. We don't have the capacity here to grow fruit trees. This would work if it would be for example just appletrees, but i collected a rainbowmix of everything for the orchard. This ist just to much different species.

However i did some oaks with the kids this year just for fun to show them how life starts up. We found some seeds popping out under an beautifull old oak at a playground and the kids kollected them. We planted them together into our roottrainers and watched them grow out.

Unfortunately the oaks did not survive our neighbours care when we went on holydays.

Imagine

that wore 50000 years of treelife in a small box.

Fortunately nature doesn't care about it.

Hi Franny,

sorry for the late reply, we wore bizzy with harvesting at the weekend.

Yes we doo everything together with our kids because we have also the educational aspekt on site. It would be nonsense not teaching them. And it is fun as well.

You should give it a try. In our case it was luck of observation. I've just seen that the oaks are already trying to pop out and need another place. Actually we cannot grow trees. The tree is growing itself. We just put it somwhere in place and can bring it some water.

I will inform myself about how to grow a tree :) yeah even tho it’s growing itself :p

Another question, how do you manage your garden? It’s probably not right behind your house, right?

Do you go there everyday? How many hours do you work there? And how do you manage water? Do you only use collected rainwater?

And it’s really beautiful you’re teaching your kids all this important knowledge! 😍

Hey

the orchard is about 5 km from our home. Will post the gps logs soon.

the main issue is exactly that. It is not straight out the door. Our management focusses on growing permanent and/or easy maintenance free things on the Orchard. Same time we have the luxury problem to actually already having a veg garden straight out the door. So it is also about managing multiple gardens cause the rest of the team has their gardens too. So we're focussing on things we do in scale in the orchard and growing the delicate things at home.

Water is an issue. Fortunately we have a well that was left from the farmer. It is just one of theese simple pipes sticked into earth to get water for cows. But for us a huge advantage.

I installed a solar system to pump it into IBC for the Tunnel. So we don't have to collect rainwater.
