He created 70 raised beds out of IBC totes by cutting them in half. He is planning a nursery, and gets some nursery stock by going into TSC or Lowes and buying all the trees on clearance, haggling the manager down to the point where he is paying $1 or $3 for 50 trees and plants. Lots of tips.

This episode should get you fired up for planning the 2023 season.

Chestnut seeds for planting, chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
