The portal begins.

 We got our circular type structure made yesterday using pallets to create the spiral in the field. The circumference is 13 metres, so that'll mean each oak tree will be planted 13m apart in a spiral shape across the field.

We haven't did the rope thing yet, but we are going to wrap a 50m rope around the pallet structure and unwind it out into the field marking the ground as we go to leave a spiral shape in the field.


What is really good about this field is it has already been planted up with trees and all the trees are rowan, birch, alder, willow and a few cherry. As most of the trees are just newly planted we are going to move them out of the road of the spiral path which will be cut out as a walkway and planted with oaks every 13m along the way.


All these small native trees in the field dont grow as big as oaks and if we clear enough space around each oak giving them room to grow, over time the oaks will out grow all the rest of the trees and dominate the field.

All these other trees will also act as a good shelter for the baby oak trees and will also help to enrich the soil. 

This used to be a famers field and you can see how much the ground is lacking good nutrients when digging. 

I've planted in many farmers fields before and some of them have been like dust when digging from being so over farmed.


Planting mixed native trees changes and enriches the soil in a matter of years with all the leaves and fruits falling nourish the ground, then all the wildlife that comes in also creating so much biodiversity in what was once an ecological desert. 


So in one field at this Lisnabreeny site ( which means Fort of the Fairy Dwelling in Irish) we will have possibly one of the largest selections of heritage Irish apple trees in Ireland, and in the field beside it we will have a spiral of oak trees planted from acorns collected of all the oldest and most iconic oak trees in the UK and Ireland.


The portal back to the Tuatha De Danann begins.

I challenge you to phantom plant a tree 


Peace and love

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
