Visite du potager et du verger environnement du gîte Vers l autonomie alimentaire

Hi everyone, 2nd edition of our video garden tour and orchard There is an existing video from last year, July last year I put the link here, you can see it in the description It will allow you to see the evolution of the field in a year as the trees have grown We are in October, so we will do a little tour together We will not make a video as long as last year But it's just to show you a little bit the different evolutions that have been this year in the garden So here we are in the greenhouse So you know this greenhouse, it's the same as last year So there she is preparing the seeds for winter So there were a lot of days that were done We had a lot of tomatoes this year We have a huge fig tree that will have to be removed I don't know everything there is in it I'll let you make your own opinion because it's not my specialty The novelty, that's what's important for this side is that initially the greenhouse stopped at these two posts and I came to enlarge the greenhouse because Assa asked for a larger greenhouse a part of 16 square meters in addition So that's it for this little quick view of the greenhouse It's hot in there So the initial part, which is here and therefore the enlargement with I made two supports in 15x15 to put two water tanks So high enough to be able to have pressure to have an automatic watering that we fill with our pond You know that too, the pond that is there So I remind you if you haven't seen the video from last year or if you are new to the channel, I welcome you So that's an EPDM pond that we dug and where we have phytohypuration water and rainwater that goes in So what allows behind, it's the third basin which allows to have water to water especially trees and the garden So the trees have grown well So we still have our acacias which are there in the west Here we are in the west So they are there to break the wind which gives on the greenhouse It comes to break the wind So there, the beginning of new cutting boards So we recycle the copper The copper I'm working on the vaults of the yacht So there are cubic meters of copper to evacuate that I could have used by insulating but I prefer to use them differently Another novelty, it's the setting up of cannibals So to close the garden to give it a little rustic aspect a little bit intimist in this garden So it's cannibals in acacia with acacia spikes So I closed everything There are 40 meters I think I don't know exactly So it's quite tedious to put I have prepared a video for you that I will put online soon for the setting up of cannibals of spikes and cannibals on the top garden So the same, we put cannibals So in a different way we have the spikes that exceed cannibals while here everything is at the same level We can see the logit which gives on the garden with the future terrace which will be here So with the view on the countryside So nothing much newer for the garden but the trees have grown well we had a rainy year so what allowed us to avoid watering because the other years we watered our trees and this year we have trees that have developed it's a tree that was planted last year which is superb which has grown a lot Second so novelty we had planted here a lot of fruit trees there were not far from a hundred of fruit trees with small fruits plus trees, large trees and so I came to close everything in sheep grazing and in such a way that we can open the orchard to the chickens so they have they have all this part there we see them over there all this part knowing that the henhouse is the small building which is right here So what allows them to come and scratch, clean remove the vermin and really I find to dry the ground it's still super important to have animals in a orchard so we wanted to put sheep but the trees are still small for now we will wait a few more years that the trees take the foot take the height to put sheep that's it and finally novelty compared to last year we came plant acacias we came to put on all the length to make a breeze view here it is north to make a breeze view compared to our neighbors and especially a cold wind to come and protect all the fruit trees who are behind there there is an acacia line so at the speed where he grows if you watch the video of last year you will realize that the trees who are there they were half smaller we have a chain here that we had put the same he will attack his third winter and it's a chain that we had put that was high like that this year he grew he was there he took all this just this year it's just amazing he likes it he really did well so hazelnuts that were put and all our fruit trees with which they begin to take their autumn colors here are the acacias that grow very fast so many will tell me that the acacia is an invasive tree it's true you have to know how to limit it now it's a tree that has a lot of advantages, it grows very fast it is an azote fixer it is a fabaceous it fixes the azote in the ground the leaves degrade extremely quickly in the ground it makes flowers which are interesting for bees knowing that we have some ruches at the bottom and finally it can be used for heating wood and for stinging so frankly we see a lot of advantages you just have to know where to distribute them in the field so when we have a small field of a few dozen trees we're not going to put 50 acacia for us we have about 3 hectares it's true that on the border put 2 rows of acacia we put 200 at the bottom so on a line of 100 meters we put 2 rows of acacia which take us 10 meters of width in the field but we know that behind it will be potentially heating wood so here mirabellia it's the same, it's mirabellia that are 2 years old mirabellia of core so in 2 years a mirabellia that is 1.60 meters a bush of mirabellia and there are all along there are mirabellias all along a little everywhere to give volume and it will also allow if we don't eat all the mirabellas to give to the hens to eat the wheat fruits the fruits that we will not harvest it will also make them free food it eats for free so here is a hazelnut that we planted it will be its third winter there it was put 2 years ago it was high like that this hazelnut there it grew the first year and here is the second year so it has multiplied its size by 3 in 2 years and it's the same the little hazelnut it's a roadside hazelnut that we were going to tear because it's a hazelnut that was plowed by the tractors of the municipality so it's a little hazelnut that was about 10 cm high not more, which was in fork we had put it there, it's the first tree that we planted in the orchard and we can see that in 2 years it grows a lot, here it is gone it should even catch up the other I think next year go hens so we have hens that we have in the hay, so when we spot one we put a stick and we let them try to flourish, to grow since always on the edge the hens are working working for free they give us eggs go girls it scratches, it cleans the edges of closure it's clean, nickel I was telling you about the acacias that we put last year which were small and there they are practically taller than me they are more than 2 meters high these are trees that grow very quickly another interesting tree another little oak here which will express itself well another one there it's a tree that we put it's a grafted chestnut tree which is giving us the first two chestnuts it's a tree that is 2 years old it's the same it has practically doubled in height it gives the first chestnuts so we can hope in a few years to do a harvest let's say chestnut descent as for fruits, we harvested our first apples, so there are more on the trees the apple trees that gave last year did not give this year, and those that did not gave, gave we have trees that we put 2 years ago they gave us more than a kilo of apples beautiful red apples so it's true that those who have more than 6 years now do not give fruit almost not so I don't know if they don't like it yet the terrain is almost the same these are apples that grow we'll see, maybe one day they will start we had a cherry tree like that lower that started suddenly I'll show you it's still an apple tree that we put back last year this one it was in the garden so we took it out and put it back so it did not grow at all, it is as we planted it but already it has redone the root and he likes it, so it's already a lesser evil there the same, it's an apple tree that grew what's like an apple tree and this one it's a Boscope we made small labels so this is a Boscope this one grew more than 1 meter this year we can see Feijoas they have trouble are they going to start there is one there and there is another one right here there I was telling you small apple so this is an apple tree chestnut apple tree which made us an apple we will leave it on it, we will let it grow a little so you see the henhouse the hens really have the space to come to work, they are all packed down there we have about fifteen hens so the same pepper tree so it's a pepper tree that she bought at the conservatory of trees I think a little thing that he likes he is a little invaded by the lizaron but he did and in fact it's the bark of the pepper that is eaten, it is not the seed when it is ripe in fact we just get the bark and it's really a very good peppery taste so here it is an extraordinary perfume we have hoe feet here I harvested hoe this year so we can see there are only a few hoe cones left on the hoe feet I got 3 kg of hoe cones so that's already a lot so we will be able to make beer this winter I will try to take some time to make beer to film all this, to show you a little bit I am only at my beginnings I am far from being very good in the matter but here I like I like to try Cognacier, it must be Cognacier from Japan this one I think so he gave a cone this year huge, beautiful and last year he had given well but after the cones we do not eat liters of cones every year so if they do not give every year it's not very embarrassing so the raspberries are well gone they gave, we harvested a little raspberries there was a good harvest too raspberries, little brown little round, things like that it gave well and here is the cherry tree I told you about it earlier so this cherry tree he had thrown for 4-5 years until last year he was very small and this year he took foot he grew at once I do not know what took him but in any case he left so there will be for next year another novelty we plan to put sheep in this meadow we can see over there, we still have grazing so we planned to put sheep here to eat the grass because it's true that it's a shame to plow, pass the tractor even if it's only twice slow it's using oil and time for nothing while putting 2-3 sheep in there, it would do the job it makes life in the pastures it brings life to the house it gives work even if we have a lot we are not angry to have it because that's what allows you in the morning to get up to say I have this to do and I go and I go out and it avoids to spend time on the computer or to plow in the house knowing that we plow very rarely you can imagine that plowing is not really my thing so that's it for this little tour of the vegetable garden of the orchard, quite fast I didn't want to linger so if you want more details on the trees we planted watch the first video there were some errors in the interpretations of the trees but we put so many that we didn't know who was who despite the labels and then I'm going to take you to see the garden from above where I put the carnivores for info this is a scoop that I give you for the people who follow the channel the pinion is finished so it's the same there is a video waiting to be uploaded but here it is so here I am in the sharpening phase at the moment here is the garden from above so there will be a video dedicated to the pose of the carnivores with the small acacia stakes that go well and the vegetable garden of the house, the children's garden and we had some corn it's corn old varieties that we try to multiply look at this a beautiful corn sprout this one is from the southwest here there is even a superb look it's all beauty as friend eric would say look at this color it's just beautiful spinach so spinach is something to know you have to leave the plants in place it grows under time it makes big leaves but they are very good to eat the advantage is that with a foot like that we have enough to eat another tree here which is a cherry who grew well this year who liked it giant cherry from the delfingen superb tree here we have the bottom part where we have the trees that have extremely well grown the fruit trees that we put 6 years ago, it's the first year they like it too they started to give there are different varieties there is prune, pear, apple here we have an apple tree it's an interesting thing it's a grafted apple tree which broke so he broke at this place and we said what do we do we leave it so he gave two rejects the first year we said we'll see and in fact it was after 3 years he caught up in height his friends next door he gives us two branches it gives a forked tree and this year he gave delicious apples so a lot of apples we saw more than 2 kg of apples delicious and under the graft so sometimes if it happens to you that your tree comes to break or rot under the graft if he ever makes a reject because it's not it's not always a bad sign the proof with this apple tree so we don't know what the variety of the apple is but from the moment they eat it's to delight us there I finally take you we have the ruts that are there at the bottom again on another thing we started but it's only a project for the moment everything is not in place yet and this project is to try to make wine yes I know that's the only way we move forward in life by testing things by being active that's how we keep a brain awake so we put on rock we are on rock there are 20 cm of earth I had a hard time planting the stakes and we put vine feet the problem is when we put them it was shortly before the frost of April so many froze so we end up with 2 poor things who live there so we'll see if it goes well for them or if we will have to see our copy again it was also there that I told you that we had planted along the closure of our neighbor in fact we put on all the length there are more than 100 meters we put 2 rows of acacia so there are 200 acacia that have been planted so we didn't we didn't pass the grinder at this place since we didn't want to risk damaging the trees and in fact they all grew more or less they all came out well so next year they should be at this height they should double well now that they have taken root and after I will be able to clean as necessary around so there it will be necessary to imagine after a corridor and we may even put it again this winter at the bottom there because there we are full south and that there is already a small acacia grove there so we have chains that grow back we have a lot of things so we will try to put them back to mow wood which furniture the ground anyway there is no need to plant trees so we don't just put acacia but we also try to maintain the chains that are there naturally I told you earlier I tell you see you next year for a new tour of Verger to see a little bit how the trees behave who goes and who doesn't if we are still free at that time and and then I tell you next time Bye
