Grow Trees & Produce Fruits QUICKEST || The modified BLUEPRINT METHOD || Ellen White Way

Thank you for making this video with very detailed step-by-step simplistic instructions for planting a fruit tree with the Ellen White method. I'm so glad I stumbled on this video! 👍😊

One thing i discovered over the years is that if you dig a little bit and pour a bucket of water and let it for a few hours, the dirt gets softer and efforts digging will be way more productive, thank you for this video 🙏

After many years of many years of planting trees the best advice I can give: 1/ strip the sod, dig the hole and put the sod upside down in the bottom of the hole before planting the tree. 2 / plant the crown above the ground level. Soil always settles significantly when plants are watered in a new hole. If you don't do this the crown will settle in lower than is healthy. You can always add soil if planted to high but if planted to low the tree can be killed by stem rot. In the diagram at 5:08 I would say the plant is planted too deep.

I like how the young men are helping.. so much energy and they actually look like they are enjoying helping out.

Thorough video, thanks! Generally speaking, most people now dig square holes as it encourages the roots to push out at the corners. Otherwise you risk roots growing in circles, as in a pot, if your deeper substrate is particularly hard. Roots grow in the path of least resistance.

I was skeptical when I learned this method. However I decided to try it on one of my banana tree as an experiment. Actually I planted 3 banana plants, only one of them using this method to make a comparison. Also I modified this method and added some good fungi in the mixture (trichoderma) as a bio control agent also as an experiment. From what I read on some scientific acrticles from the internet, the trichoderma fungi suppose to protect the plant from bad fungis like fusarium, verticillium and etc.. not really sure about this, so I just give it a try:) After observing about a few months, I was blown away by the growth and performance of the Banana tree planted using this method vs the others using conventional method. My guess the air pocket creates aerobic environment for the good microbes and fungi to flourish under the tree thus resulting in excellent growth rate and healthy tree.

Thank you for the great explanation & demonstration of the Ellen White Method of planting trees. I suggest putting the top soil in buckets, wheel barrows or on a sheet of plywood to keep it separate from the deeper dirt and to make it easier to replace in the top of the hole. 10/05/2021

This was very educational. This was a prime example that if you’re going do it, do it right. By the way, your property looks very beautiful. Thank you.

One of the best fruit tree planting videos I've seen. Your orchard is beautiful!!

A lot of people are complaining about the plastic pipe. When this method originated many years ago they used clay pipe for the cavity. I was told the reason for it was that it would hold water but nowadays they are saying it's to help aerobic organisms thrive and cause the compost to decay faster. I don't know but it doesn't hurt to do it and it might be something to it being beneficial.

It is very effective, even if we only use the available local materials! Thanks for inspiring again.

Thank you for a great video. Very informative. God bless you and your family.

What a clear and precise and complete exposition. One of the best tutorials I have ever seen on Utube. You guys are teachers as well as orchardists. Thanks, enjoy that well earned fruit.

Very industrious and energetic kid!

Very tiresome process but very good exercise. Good job guys! Thanks for sharing sis

Well done. I have been saving the Ellen White method for my future grow. Thanks for the step by step. Great teaching, zero ego. Appreciated.

Awesome way to use those kids energy..and making them stronger and ready for hard life... Better than public school... mucho better

U guys are awesome so clear in your explanation may God bless u all ….by the way your boys are so cute helping out

What, no biochar? Tip for digging on hard ground: fill the hole with water and let it soak for a few hours at least, that will soften it a lot. Also to fill the finished hole with water, preferably overnight, before planting. A little watering after each layer... In Mexico they add some sprouted corn, for growth enzymes I think. Will try that someday

Salamat Marie! Really appreciate you and your family's efforts in documenting and sharing this method.
