The Phantom Planter

 Some sad news to report guys.  A massive oak tree branch has snapped in the storm and fell into our orchard crushing some fruit trees.  Another Scots pine tree fell in another orchard we have in the middle of the estate but luckily landed right between 2 memorial apple trees.  We will be getting these fallen trees removed ASAP and what ever memorial fruit trees that have been destroyed will be replaced.  Our work is never ending guys, myself and the inner council members dont get paid for what we do.  Please if you can support us in anyway you can donate on the link below.  Copy and paste this link into your browser  https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FAJZHB3TBXMSL You can also donate directly into our UK business account  Name on account-  Free Food For All Sort code 950679 Account number 30178756   I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

 Every red dot is a fruit tree mapped that we've phantom planted over the past 6/7 years or so, creating The Phantom Planters HQ aka Belvoir Memorial Orchard.  Back then at the start of this orchard I was just getting into Buddhism. Stuck in self created darkness I wanted a better existence. Some of the Buddhist philosophies can be very complicated. One thing struck me though was the practice of generosity. I may not be able to sit and meditate for any length of time and I may not know some of the deep spiritual practices, but I can plant trees as a way of practicing generosity and creating good merit.  This alone they say is enough to bring about a better existence.  And a better existence it has brought me today. My mind is in a much better place.  10 years ago if I heard something outside in the middle of the night I would have jumped up looking for my baseball bat or machete.  Now I just roll back over thinking its just a cat or something.  We crea...

 The older we get the more we need to stretch. Its not just about going to a class 3 times a week. Its everyday as much as you can.  Just like cats and dogs.  I follow many older fitness people, many in their 70s and thats always the advice. Stretch, stretch and more stretching.  We all need a good stretch. Society has slowed us down too much we are becoming stagnant. Humans have always been the unlimited runner, mover and climber. The landrover of the world that can eat all sorts for fuel.  Putting kids in a chair from a young age feeding them regurgitated BS for years has to be one of the cruelest things we can do to our children.  Then when they step out of line they give them some label like there's something wrong with them.  We have been running continents for hundreds of thousands of years.  We aren't made to be kept in a chair.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

 These gymnastics rings are definitely up there with one of the best things I've ever bought.  When you get to know how these work the amount of different exercises you can do is unreal, and they are very cheap too, 20 quid I think I paid, straps included.  They fit neatly into any bag and can be hung of trees and football nets. I've always got mine with me.  Daily is training is a must for me, everyday I have to do something in the mornings. Whether it be stretching, a good walk, weights or calisthenics. Its important to respect the diving suit for the soul and keep it strong. This is the vessel to carry you to enlightenment, look after it.  I'm intending on planting and chanting for decades to come. I gotta keep the body firing on all cylinders.  Look after you Look after nature Look after your community  All interconnected and interdependent I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

 Good morning guys, This is how simple it is to germinate acorns. I leave them like this over winter not letting them dry out, then I would try and keep them covered with something also like a fine mesh to stop any birds digging them up over winter. Come spring I'll check and see which ones have germinated and will pot them up in their own individual pots. I've been doing it this way for years and works perfect for me. BTW check out the acorn collection this year, all these acorns have been picked from the oldest and most famous oak trees in the UK and Ireland and sent to me by the Paramili-Trees SAS branch (Special Acorn Service).  It's been a very busy year. We all need to get out collecting seeds from our ancient trees to grow them up for phantom planting.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter
