Hello dear Hivers, I hope you've had a lovely weekend and that the week is off to a good start for you !
For our part, we've been busy surveying the 957 square meters of land that we'd like to dedicate to a garden forest, an assemblage of different species designed to create a kind of super-organism that's fertile, productive in terms of food, good for biodiversity and resilient in the face of climatic hazards.
So no, they're not chestnut trees - those will come later - but two little cherry trees that I found at a local nursery. One is in a pot and the other is semi-bare root, with just a little soil in its green plastic bag.
But before planting them like that, we took the time to study the terrain and that too took an extra day. Or should I say several days, as we'd already been thinking about it for some time !
I don't know if you can see them very well, but we've planted a whole series of hazel stakes in different places where we'd like to have trees. We put an average of 5 meters between each tree, but the idea of the garden forest is to play on exposure and the creation of micro-climates. That's why I think that in the end there will probably be more trees, and much closer together...
But for the moment, we've put in about thirty of these stakes, which are supposed to represent the future trees !
And here are the first holes being dug with that magnificent tool, the spading fork ! We dug them deep enough and, dare I say it, here come the trees !
We form a trough with some of the excavated earth to retain the watering and we repeat the operation for the second cherry tree...
At the end, we water generously so that the soil is in good contact with the roots and we also mulch generously so that the soil isn't bare and the water stays longer.
It's worth pointing out that we're in Normandy and that it rains a lot in this region, so there's not much risk of drought !
These are the two species we planted, bearing in mind that it's always better to plant two trees of the same species, as they pollinate each other and produce better harvests !
And finally, here's this future chestnut tree that we'd love to plant next time, so that in a few years' time we'll be able to harvest these delicious fruits on our land !
I hope you've enjoyed this article and the information it contains! I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read it, and encourage you to ask any questions you may have and provide any useful details :)
Good day to you all and see you soon,
<3

Salut chers Hivers, j'espère que vous avez passé un bon weekend et que la semaine commence bien pour vous !
De notre côté, nous n'avons pas chômé puisque nous sommes allés arpenter le terrain de 957 m2 précisément que nous aimerions dédier à une forêt jardin, cet d'assemblage de différentes espèces sensé créer une sorte de super-organisme, fertile, productif en nourriture, tout à la fois bon pour la biodiversité et résilient face aux aléas climatiques.
Alors non, il ne s'agit pas de châtaigniers, ceux-ci viendront plus tard, mais bien de deux petits cerisiers que j'ai trouvé dans une pépinière du coin. L'un est en pot et l'autre en racines semi-nues, avec juste un peu de terre dans son sac en plastique vert.
Mais avant de les planter comme cela, nous avons pris le temps d'étudier le terrain et cela aussi s'est étaler sur une journée supplémentaire. Et même plusieurs devrais-je dire comme cela fait déjà un peu de temps que nous y pensions !
Je ne sais pas si on les voit très bien, mais nous avons planté toute une série de piquets de noisetiers aux différents endroits où nous aimerions avoir des arbres. Nous avons mis une moyenne de 5 mètres entre chaque arbre, mais l'idée de la forêt jardin est de jouer sur les expositions et la création de micro-climat. C'est pourquoi je pense qu'au final, il y aura sûrement plus d'arbres et bien plus proches...
Mais pour le moment, nous avons mis une trentaine de ces piquets sensés représenter les futurs arbres !
Et voilà les premiers trous qui se creusent au moyen de ce magnifique outil qu'est la fourche à bêcher ! Nous les creusons assez profond et hop, si j'ose dire, voilà les arbres en terre !
Nous formons une cuvette avec une partie de la terre excavée pour retenir les arrosages et nous répétons l'opération pour le deuxième cerisier...
À la fin, nous arrosons généreusement pour que la terre soit bien en contact avec les racines et nous paillons aussi généreusement afin que la terre ne soit pas nue et que l'eau reste davantage.
Reste à préciser que nous sommes en Normandie et qu'il pleut énormément dans cette région et que nous n'avons pas trop de risque de sécheresse !
Voilà les deux espèces que nous avons planté, en sachant qu'il est toujours mieux de planter deux arbres de la même espèces puisqu'il se pollinisent entre eux et offrent ainsi de meilleurs récoltes !
Et pour terminer, voilà ce futur châtaignier que nous aimerions bien planter la prochaine fois, le tout afin d'avoir sur notre terrain - et dans quelques années - de belles récoltes de ces fruits si délicieux !
J'espère que vous aurez apprécié cet article et les informations proposées ! Je vous remercie pour le temps de votre lecture et vous encourage à poser vos questions et à amener vos précisions toujours bien utiles :)
Bonne journée à tous et à très bientôt,
<3

It is really a great post I love posts like this. To see any good act to the nature makes me happy and this community never fails. Thank you for sharing, i really wish I could do the same thing it is also really relaxing to work with earth.
@ipexito you were mentioning this
Yes, my love, this is very similar to what I was telling you recently. They are going to create a small forest here, it's wonderful, I wish we had a plot like this.
And this is what I was thinking, the idea of carrying seedlings and picks and shovels in our car all the time and scattering trees on the side of the road where we stop, without damaging anyone's fields, maybe we could have a tree in every corner of the country is a very nice idea.
I hope we can do that 🙏🙏
Many thank dear @arduilcelebren !
I'm indeed happy to start now, we were waiting and searching many years ! Now the project is up 😊 !
Take good care !
Thats exciting - I hope they grow into big beauties for you !

Exactly ! This winter, we want to plant around 20-25 trees already :)
The plan is set but we'll see if we achieve this hehe
Take care dear Vincent 😘
That sounds like a do-able plan.
Looking forward to see your land fill up with your fff - future food forest ;<)
💚
I never knew that this is how trees are planted
I thought that people will plant them as seeds first
I'm happy to learn that
Hello, @anttn
I lam very happy to see your garden activities. Because I can not have those plants in my area.
In my city, cheesenut are expensive

Great man, we had cherries in our garden and they will probably be ready to give you fruit in the next harvest season. I've never seen a chestnut tree, I'm looking forward to seeing it from you.
