GRAFTING SKINNY SCION WOOD, TIPS FOR SUCCESS Skinny scions happen. Maybe you get some scions through trading, you open the package. and there are some very scrawny little sticks in there.

ABOUT STEVEN
About me Early Years. I was born into a very domesticated life. I wasn't taught to use tools or do anything much for myself beyond cooking. As a young and testy punk rocker I slowly came to realize that without knowing how to take care of my own needs, I was essentially something like a slave or a farm animal. APPLE AND OTHER SCION WOOD SIZE: Scions are long enough to do at least two grafts, sometimes 3, unless otherwise stated. Or you will get two shorter pieces if the pieces are short. Some varieties, like Maypole, will tend to grow very short and stubby with closely spaced buds, so they may be shorter. Others are naturally very skinny. TURKEYSONG HOMESTEAD Turkeysong Homestead. This is stuff specifically related to Turkeysong, the 40 acre homestead basecamp here in Northern California. The name Turkeysong is basically a joke. The Northern California hippie culture tends to name properties things like River Spirit or Meadow Song etc but what I hear in the morning is gobblingturkeys.
THE EVILS OF SOIL CRUSTING, CAUSES, PREVENTION AND The Evils of Soil Crusting, Causes, Prevention and Rectification. Soil crusting is an insidious problem that is nearly universal. The only soils I've seen that seem really immune are basically sand. Below are my written and video takes on the subject with some possible innovative solutions using biochar and manure mats.

WHAT TYPE OF LIME SHOULD YOU USE FOR TANNING AND RAWHIDE Lime is used in tanning to loosen the hair for removal, and sort of clean the skin fiber of unwanted substances. It is used in the same way for processing rawhide as well as skin for making glue.While there are other alternatives, lime was most commonly used in 18th and 19th century tanning processes and by home tanners since.

I'M HERE TO PUT DOWN MY LONG EXPERIENCE IN PRACTICAL ARTS AND SELF RELIANCE SKILLS. MY MAIN GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE GREATER PHYSICAL AND MENTAL INDEPENDENCE IN AN AGE OF INCREASING DEPENDENCY AND HELPLESSNESS. THAT IS VERY UN-CULT-LIKE I KNOW. I HOPE YOU AREN'TDISAPPOINTED!
I PROCEED ON THE BASIC IDEA THAT A PERSON WHO CAN BETTER MEET THEIR NEEDS, AND THE NEEDS OF THEIR GROUP OR FAMILY, UNDER VARIED CIRCUMSTANCES IS A MORE DIGNIFIED, RESILIENT, INDEPENDENT, GROUNDED, FREE THINKING AND ULTIMATELY JUST ALL AROUND FREER ENTITY, WHO IS MORE SECURE IN THE ENVIRONMENTS THEY WALK THROUGH EVERY DAY. THIS IS INDEPENDENT OF WHETHER ALL OF THE SKILLS THEY CARRY WITH THEM THROUGH THIS LIFE ARE NEEDED OR NOT. BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THAT THAN I CAN EXPLAIN IN THIS SHORT PARAGRAPH! JOIN ME AS I CONTINUE TO EXPLORE AND REDISCOVER OLD WAYS OF DOING THINGS AND PURSUE NEW PATHS INTO MAKING AND UNDERSTANDING ALL KINDS OF COOL STUFF! -------------------------EXPLORE BY CATEGORY

Seeds for sale this winter, but in very limited quantities. #appleseason #apples #applebreeding #plantbreeding #applerenaissance #sweet16apple #rubaiyat #orchard #orchardlife #gardening #fruittrees #growingfruit #appleseedling #growingapples #growingapplesfromseed " data-provider-name="" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1579364432866_1679"> The Gold Cup Oak aka Canyon Live Oak, and Maul oakQuercus chrysolepis. Grows mostly in interior Northern California. Highly variable in form such as leaf shape and size, acorn shape and size and growth of twigs. Many grow in a cool weeping form. It is one of our largest oaks, but not as big as the Valley Whites. I haven’t processed the acorns, but I’m sure they are edible. I don’t hear people talk about eating this species that I can recall, but there are a lot of speices to choose from wherever it grows. I have used the acorn caps for dyeing buckskin. It makes a nice yellowish buff color. The caps have been assessed for tannin content, but I cannot find the reference for the life of me. I think they have great potential as a tanning material where the trees are abundant, the large, thick corky caps sometimes blanket the ground in fall. The also seem to give up their tannin pretty easily in cooking, without crushing first, though it’s had to be sure without testing. I’m sure the bark can be used to tan as well, but I haven’t tried it. The wood is very heavy and tough and sources claim it was used for stuff like tool handles and wagon axles and of course Mauls after one of it’s names, Maul Oak. I used it for my last maul and it is very well suited, being dense and durable. I have not had a chance to use it as a tool handle yet. It is supposedly susceptible to sudden oak death, but not nearly as badly affected as tan oak. #oaks #californiaplants #california #californiaflora #acorns #quercus #quercuscrysolepis #usefulplants #survival #wildcrafting #tanning #leather #tanninghides #hometanning #buckskin #braintannedbuckskin The Golden Harvey. I just posted a blog entry of an epic amount of research on this apple from 19th century books. By all accounts, it tastes amazing, keeps until spring and is super sweet with a specific gravity of 1085, which is over 20% sugar. skillcult.com/blog #apples #goldenharveyapple #heirloomapples #heirloomfruit #fruit #homeorchard #orchardlife #grafting #applerenaissance #russetapple #russets Zabergau Reinette, Origin Germany from seeds planted in 1885. These I picked a little early, hoping they will improve in storage. It’s on the tart side by all accounts, including mine. So far worth having around, but not amazing in the flavor department and could have more sugar for my taste. Probably great for cooking. #zabergaureinette #russetapple #homeorchard #appleuprising #applerenaissance #apples #fruit #orchard #orchardlife #Growingfruit #gardening #organicgardening #selfreliance Apple tasting from my last video. top to bottom, my new wickson seedling, Mother, St. Edmund’s Russet, Sunrise and what is supposed to be Skinner’s Seedling, but I’m wondering if it’s mislabeled now. #appleuprising #applerenaissance #apples #fruit #homeorchard #orchard #orchardlife #Growingfruit #skinnersseedling #motherapplevariety #saintedmundspippinapple #sunriseapple #gardening #organicgardening #selfreliance JOIN THE CULT TO RECEIVE NEW BLOG POSTS!
