After the catastrophic winter 2017/2018 When we lost hundreds of trees and bushes to ravenous water sore we have used net cages of galvanized plaster net. The idea is that the relatively fine mesh cages should hold until the trees have grown from the most sore -sensitive phase. The establishment strategy that the cages are part of I described correctly 2019 and we still hold […]
So even when I made a plan to make my own miso and it ended with me. So even when I made a plan to make my own miso and it ended with me. We are big consumers of miso and I was completely sold on the descriptions of how to do it […]
The interest in growing hazelnuts in our northern climate seems to be increasing and in the middle of this year's harvest season I was interviewed for an episode about hazelnut cultivation on the delightfully nerdy Trädgårdtrollet's Garden Podcast. In the conversation, we talk a lot about which varieties are worth cultivating, I tell you about the best way to harvest in time […]
A long wait is over. Seven years after we planted the first hazelnut bushes in our garden planted with trees, we were now the first real harvest. As it was previously at best a handful of nuts this year we have been able to rake in more than 2000 nuts. Although I hazelnuts harvested in the wild often felt […]
Using nätkorgar of the kind I described in my last post means that it takes much longer to get down the plants in the soil. Not only the production of nätkorgarna, but also planting takes longer and I would like to share with you a few tricks we use to planting will be as good as […]
In the last post, I described our establishment concept where planting of the vole desirable trees and shrubs occurs in nätkorgar galvanized putsnät. We've built well over 100 nätkorgar late last year and start getting into a good technique now. The network we use is that said mesh size 12,7 mm. Larger than that, […]
For me usually ympingssäsongen launch in early April and then it is high time now to order suitable rootstocks. The only question is how do you get hold of rootstocks in the best way? Since I grafts quite a few trees every year it pays for me to order directly from wholesalers. They usually require […]
Cherries can be a little more difficult to graft than, for example, apples and pears. Many therefore choose instead to reproduce the cherry through inoculation. Here I have listed the rootstocks as my knowledge is suitable for use in our climate. Email me at skogstradgard@gmail.com or enter a comment in the comment box if you find errors or have […]
Plums and its relatives apricot, peach and almond can be grafted and inoculated in a relatively wide range of rootstocks. Here I list the rootstocks as my knowledge is suitable for our climate. Please comment on the compilation, either by emailing me at skogstradgard@gmail.com or by leaving a comment in the field below. I will update the tables […]
Thanks for all the rush of apple rootstocks! Now, B118, and M111 inlaid table. In this post, I have compiled an overview of rootstock for pears (Pyrus communis) and they are still relatively rare sand pears (Pyrus pyrifolia). Again, I am quite sure I have missed interesting rootstocks or have done wrong in the tables, so […]
