25.01.2022 Elaeagnus angustifolia - Russian Olive seeds from the shrubs in our garden for seed orders. Elaeagnus angustifolia - Russian Olive is a great drought tolerant n...itrogen fixing shrub, best planted in hedges and boundary plantings. It grows very fast and is great for chop and drop, although the branches are quite thorny. https://www.balkep.org/elaeagnus-angustifolia.html #forestgarden #foodforest #foodforests #landscapedesign #permaculturedesign #agroforesty #organic #permaculture #polyculture #regenerativefarming #gardening #plantsforforestgardens #orchard #gardens #wildlifegarden #edibleshrubs #gardendesign #polycultureorchard #seeds #gardeners #landscape #trees #groundcover #horticulture #plants #garden #nature #growyourown #biodiversity #beneficialorganisms

23.01.2022 Crucial wisdom from Bill Mollison. What does rebellion REALLY look like? (Also Happy Birthday Darma from Nature For Change in Sumatra planting many trees in th...e Leuser Ecosystem). Make shift happen: 1. Learn to plant, not only an orchard, but also basic crops (corn, grain, cassava, etc. ) and trees (fruit, native, woody); 2. Create a bond with some land, whether its yours or that of a relative, a project, a community garden, etc. Participate with the people who live there, go gradually looking for ways to spend more time in the countryside than in the city, learning to plant, purify water, treat organic waste and heal in nature; 3. Develop practical skills (cooking, carpentry, machine repair, food processing, sewing, etc. ). Teach these skills to children, friends and neighbors; 4. Seek a mutual support group, where people take care of each other, make products of basic need collectively, such as natural hygiene products, natural remedies such as syrups and herbal tinctures, food processing, such as preserved and fermented foods; 5. Simplify your life now, releasing more space and time. Discover everything you can do without money, walk, exercises, crafts and body arts, socialize with your loved ones, gardening; 6. Separate from the logic of consuming more and more. They prefer handmade products that last a long time, quality, made by small producers, social companies and solidarity economic companies. Make exchanges, give and receive gifts of affective value, rather than financial value; 7. Exchange, store, multiply and spread creole seeds (native, not genetically modified, produced by popular and family farming); 8. Recognize that life will be much better afterwards! Were just transitioning. "Our creativity is the limit of the system".

22.01.2022 Hazels are excellent plants for use in polycultures. They are tolerant of shade so suitable in the understorey, are not very nutrient demanding or competitive a...nd are relatively compact and easy to manage. They tolerate pruning very well and can be used for chop and drop plants grown between fruit trees or in hedgerows. If nut production is sought after, they should be given a prime position but can still accommodate a range of productive and useful plants around them. https://balkanecologyproject.blogspot.com//the-amazing-haz https://www.balkep.org/hazelnut-cultivars.html #forestgarden #foodforest #foodforests #landscapedesign #permaculturedesign #agroforesty #organic #permaculture #polyculture #regenerativefarming #gardening #plantsforforestgardens #orchard #gardens #wildlifegarden #edibleshrubs #gardendesign #polycultureorchard #seeds #gardeners #landscape #trees #groundcover #horticulture #plants #garden #nature #growyourown #biodiversity #beneficialorganisms

20.01.2022 Mower Blight. This is off topic for Trees From Seed, but at the same time is important to long term success. We can sow seeds and transplant saplings till Kingdom Come, but we will never have all the trees we want until we change our mowing practices and stop killing and maiming trees.

19.01.2022 The intention of the best Japanese gardens is not to make a realistic illusion of landscape, but simply to suggest the general atmosphere of "mountain and water..." in a small space, so arranging the design of the garden that it seems to have been helped rather than governed by the hand of man. The Zen gardener has no mind to impose his own intention on the natural forms, but is careful rather to follow the "intentionless intention" of the forms themselves, even though this involves the utmost care and skill. In fact the gardener never ceases to prune, clip, weed, and train the plants, but he does so in the spirit of being part of the garden himself rather than a directing agent standing outside. He is not interfering with nature because he is nature, and he cultivates as if not cultivating. Thus the garden is at once highly artificial and extremely natural! Alan Watts, The Way of Zen (1957) Vintage Books Edition, August 1989, pp. 193-194.

15.01.2022 Kawase Hasui (1883-1957): Shin Hanga Master Hasui created more than six hundred woodblock color prints throughout his career. As an acclaimed painter and printm...aker, he illustrated landscapes, townscapes, and sacred landmarks in japan. He was named a living national treasure by the japanese government in 1956. Early in his career, hasui worked primarily as a commercial illustrator for magazines and in advertising. His career path changed in 1918 when he was inspired by the prints of ito shinsui and began to create prints of his own. that same year, hasuis first experimental prints were published by watanabe shzabur, initiating a relationship that would last for the rest of Hasuis life. Watanabe named the prints created by hasui and others shin-hanga, meaning new prints. By bringing together the talents of an artist, a block carver, a printer or block colorist, and a publisher, shin-hanga works mimicked the traditional collaborative process of ukiyo-e printmaking. instead of the flat, stylized planes typical in ukiyo-e, shin-hanga incorporated aspects of western draftsmanship and printmaking, including perspective and volumetric shading.

15.01.2022 Did you know that the Wollemi Pine is basically the plant version of a living dinosaur?! (Along with the Plum Pines (Podocarpus genus) & The Bunya/Hoop Pines (...Araucaria genus). Its thought to have existed close to its current form 200 million years ago - 135 million years BEFORE most of the dinosaurs went extinct. it was discovered in 1994 before then Paleobotanists thought it was long extinct, only fossils of it survived David Noble found it by chance while bushwalking in the Blue Mountains its scientific name is Wollemia nobilis, but some people call it a living fossil its critically endangered in NSW and very, very rare. : Jaime Plaza, Botanic Gardens Trust.

14.01.2022 T h e P i n n a c l e | Border Ranges National Park. The Tweed shield volcano in Northern NSW, Australia, is the biggest erosion caldera in the southern hemisp...here, and one of the largest calderas on our planet. The valley below is over 1000 meters deep and has a diameter of over forty kilometres, making this caldera larger even than the famous Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. This sacred land has been a spiritual force for the Githabul people for many thousands of year - who maintain active and ongoing connection to country through management of the Border Ranges National Park. When indigenous people talk about connection to country in Australia - they are not talking about nationalism, patriotism or colonialism - they are talking about connection to the spirit of the land.

09.01.2022 Making Seed Balls: for getting things growing in unlikely places - a link to this how-to is below... . Seedball wha? Yep, they are just what they sound like -... a small ball of clay and soil, with seeds inside. NOT for eating, but for planting. Seedballs are incredibly easy to make, and are a rather excellent way to get things growing in areas that don’t usually have much plant growth. . The basic idea of a seedball is that you make it, distribute it to marginal areas which are hard to get the right plants established in (usually because of lack of water) and wait. The beauty of this technique is that the seedballs will sit there, protected by their clay shell, and then, in a large rain event - melt, and germinate (hopefully). This same rain event has hopefully created enough soil moisture for those seeds to establish. . And the kicker is because it’s easy to make a LOT of seedballs at once, the chances of some of them succeeding is pretty high. . We’ve used seedballs to seed very arid zones to native pioneer tree and fodder species with great success. Or, you could use wildflower seeds, or whatever works for where you live. Go have a read. It’s a great weekend activity. . https://www.milkwood.net//making-seed-balls-for-getting-t/ . * We acknowledge that permaculture owes the roots of its theory and practice to traditional and Indigenous knowledges, from all over the world. We all stand on the shoulders of many ancestors - as we learn, and re-learn, these skills and concepts. We pay our deepest respects and give our heartfelt thanks to these knowledge-keepers, both past and present. . #seedballs #permaculture #aridgardening #shelterbelts #regeneration #howto See more

06.01.2022 Elderberry is an herb gardeners reverie. . Blessed with lush foliage, creamy clusters of frothy blossoms, and heavy bunches of dark fruit that beckon birds to ...flit and flutter between its branches, elder captures the eye and the heart. . This herbal shrub is a rich source of immune-boosting medicine, and is deeply steeped in lore; around the world, stories abound about a healing spirit said to live within the tree. She is often called the Elder Mother, Elder Lady, or Elda Morand she can be appealed to on behalf of the ill. . Elder is a traditional immune system tonic with significant antiviral properties. The berries are more potent than the flowers in this light, and work by strengthening cell membranes against viral penetration. .
