Hello again @dtube and Steem Blockchain!!! I'm out planting... a tree today...and I wanted to share a quick hack...for helping your trees, shrubs and veggies....to grow MUCH STRONGER and more healthy!!!! We have planted about 105 fruit trees and dozens of other types of evergreen trees and shrubs all over this 1/4 urban lot in Southern Utah....over the last 10 years. Each hole I have dug....I have added some of these mycos fungi into the planting hole. I testify....I feel it grows super health and happy plants!! Hopefully it will help a few of you out there...to plant some D-Fruit and D-Food successfully!!! :)
This is the product I show in the video..and the one I have found to be the most useful...and priced well for how much you get..and need to use. My bag lasts me years. https://www.amazon.com/Xtreme-Gardening-RT4402-Mykos-2-2-Pound/dp/B003STB5N6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541196634&sr=8-3&keywords=mycorrhizal+fungi
I first learned about this technique of using fungi to grow trees after reading, "Mycelium Running" by Paul Stamets. Read this book to go down the fungi rabbit hole!!!
Thanks for cruising a long with me today....fellow Dtubers and Steemians! We appreciate ALL of YOU!!!! Cheers to our food and money freedoms!!!!! DFood..and DTube!!!!!!!

I love Paul Stamets. Cool post! I didn't know you could plant fungi right tin with your tree roots... Amazing. Fungi and mycelium are the neural network of the planet! So much communication that happens there. Thanks for sharing!

lol...no worries ever!!! just thanks for stopping by and making me laugh and smile. :) i'm always low...on my VP lol!!!! so easy for me to just upvote away...cause there's so much great content on this blockchain!!!!! LOL...the streetlight is SOOOO annoying! i swear it has caused crappy fruit in this quadrant of the food forest. i mean....ya know? flowers and pepps gotta sleep! that thing is like a couple thousand watt high pressure sodium orange lamp lol. i almost shot the light out with a bb gun...but figured this was more legal...to plant a tree lol! thanks for stopping my sis. i think you'll enjoy looking into the mykos. ;)

When we moved in to our place which is a 5 acre property comma our neighbours had a huge thousand Watt Spotlight. They used it for the horses. The thing is Sean right into our backyard area where we would enjoy a meal and have a beer with friends. When we asked him to angle it down the property he said no. It was really upsetting to us and it would have been no big deal for him to move it, he was just being a bastard basically. We planted trees along the fence line and put a fence there so we couldn't see him so much and just had to put up with it until his wife got pregnant and she couldn't ride the horses at night anymore. That was a good few years ago now. We used to fantasize about shooting the light out or getting a giant mirror to angle it back at him haha. I hope your tree grows fast and it doesn't bother you anymore xx

lol....that's a great story! i could see it all in my mind's eye. ya'll out drinkin' beer and fantasizing about shooting the light or reflecting it back lol!!!! black spray paint came to mind too lol. i thought of doing a late night ninja ascent....with my can of paint...and just spraying over the lens lol. thanks @riverflows ....i really appreciate you sister. these mondell pines grow so damn fast you can see them getting taller by the day. that light should be blocked out by next summer...or fall. ;) much love!!!!

Lol permaculture solutions to crappy urban problems! Instead of shooting things, plant a tree. 😂
Pretty much the theme of all of this, huh?

Dude, I'm watching again. I can't get enough of this. In the podcast he said every once in a while he'll find someone that lights up with this information instead of glazing over like he says here. I'm freaking lit. I wanna grow more mushrooms!!! Can I mulch with mushrooms? What can I do to get more mushrooms to pop up? Aaaahhhhh!!!
Wood chips are of the utmost urgency. If I can't find them, I'll just use all the leaves I can find and put inches of leaves down.

Excellent design idea brother!! Add one thing that serves multiple functions, spoken like a true permaculturist. Adding one tree to help benefit so many others, and bring in more birds. Man I love trees!!!
The mykos too👌
It will be great to watch an update if this 10 years from now and see all the DFood it helped to produce ❤️

I love you so much bro!!! Trees and the mykos too!!! You soooo know!!!!!! Thanks for spreading the gospel....of food forestry..and the fungal network via wood chips for so long now brother!!!! The power of #dfood and #dtube will...just continue to catch on !!!! i'm so curious how it will look in ten years too. I'm gonna post this short film right here for anyone that hasn't seen it yet. "The Man Who Planted Trees" so touching...and YOU and many others remind me of this story.

That is indeed great buddy, I really hope it will grow like the one at the corner :)
I do like the idea of yours as it grows up it sure will serve in different ways.
Keep doing the good work of yours brother.

So, I plan to fill my swales with wood chips when I get them made. I'm guessing it's be a good idea to add a bit of this micorrhizal fungi mix so that I can establish even more fungal activity in my yard.

Your wood chip layer will naturally create a mycelium layer...and that's...the reason to get spreadin' sooner than later. just plug n' play...the mycos...with each tree you plant or shrub or veggie. pull apart the wood chips and inoculate each hole. their association to particular species of trees and plants is peculiar. your whole food forest will be a mycelial mat of joy! you can see the hyphae/fungi layer in @gardeningchannel s vid on wood chips..as he pulls apart the chips. it's whitish. i sprayed all my wood chips at one point..with liquid mycos...but now i feel it's much more potent..and exact....to use it in each hole. saves money and product..and peculiar fungi networks all eventually meet up..and do all the work FOR YOU! :)
