11:34 Pro-tip for tree planting: dig a square hole. If you have a round hole, especially in hard-packed soil, the roots don't want to grow out, as it follows the route of least resistance. Instead they get stuck in the loose filler soil, coiling up below the tree and preventing a wider root system from forming. A square hole has sharp corners, where the roots get pushed into and have nowhere to go but out. Done this way, the tree will have a much bigger chance of growing a solid root system, that isn't packed together.

Ben Collins : For catching your apples, you wanna set up bug net or snow fence laid out horizontally and raised up about 1 meter from the ground in a circle around the base of your apple tree(s) for harvesting the apples without needing to pick them up by hand. Posts for snow fence and your choice of material, but something that flexes is ideal so they don't break or shred when falling.

(Never been there though). Loved this though, nice plan Ben.
@backontwowheels9469 Місяць тому
We moved into a place on a large plot that has apple trees on it and early on we were being bombarded with kamikaze apples that would split when they hit the ground so we would throw them away. Eventually we bought an apple picker which is like a small open cage on an extended pole to pick them before they drop. Do you use the damaged apples in your cider? I think you need something like a netting trampoline that sits under the tree so when the apples fall onto it they can then roll down into a collecting bag (not too big a bag cos they weigh a tonne)

I kinda want to move to Devon as well, even though i have never been there before, but it's more about my favorite period called the Devonian. I just like the idea of the ancient dirt, having been around since the Devonian and possibly having some Dunkleosteus skulls hidden in there. To me it feels like it's a separate corner in time on Earth, aside from the stereotypes about Devon.
@tkgg Місяць тому
I thought one of the ways to deal with fallen fruit was to put a giant net on the ground so the fruit falls into it and when it needs emptying you can kinda just drag them all away. Then you can empty the net into whatever container you'd like. Either raising the corners a bit so the fruit doesn't roll off or using tent pegs to hold the net down. Not overly engineery and water can still go back into the soil.
