Graftimg success!

-




Its round about this time of year you take the grafting tape off your apple trees. 

I love this bit and can't believe how well they are looking. I've only been grafting apple trees for the past couple of years and I'm getting better each time. Learn by doing has always been my motto. 


200 heritage Irish apple trees I grafted and only 2 didnt make it. Not bad results at all. Think that makes it a 99% success rate!


Many people asking if I'm selling these. Sorry guys these ones are not for sale. I will be phantom planting these apple trees personally as my contribution to nature and community. I get way more joy out of watching my environmental graffiti thrive in the wild than making money from it anyway. Soul richness cant be bought. 


We all need to give back to nature as individuals and I'm leading by example on this one. There is enough money and successful people in the world. We badly need more fruit forests and phantom planters. 


This method of grafting old Irish varieties onto mm106 rootstock has been growing so well out in the wild for me. I've been observing ones I've phantom planted over the past couple of years and they are looking amazing!

 Nature will always let you know if it wants your tree to be there or not. If your trees are struggling and need molly cuddled too much they are not meant to be there. Keep on planting and chanting until you find the right trees that will thrive in that area. Enjoy the connection and learning process as you go. 

BTW always try and keep your trees native as much as possible, but for new phantom planters don't stress too much about this. Just get planting and like me you'll learn overtime that native trees will always thrive best. 

Stick them in the ground the right way up is all I did at the start when I knew nothing about planting trees. And all these years later my method of planting has not changed, still all I do is make sure they are the right way up. 


Another thing when phantom planting, please never plant on other managed land like a meadow or if you see other trees there dont plant either. Go and find ground thats unused and not maintained. Plenty of ground like that around that could be turned into fruit forests for all. 


We are not out to rub anyone up the wrong way. Infiltrate, convert and recruit. I want everyone to become phantom planters. That includes council and government officials. 


We all need to come back to nature. Its all went a bit wrong out there. 


I challenge you all to become phantom planters


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 ...

 *****THIS IS A MEN ONLY POST***** Good morning men, I want to talk with you about semen retention and how I believe that over ejaculation is probably in my opinion one of the biggest causes of mens mental health problems today. For years now I have been experimenting with celibacy, reading in depth about the benefits of brahmacharya which is the vow of celibacy that monks take and the benefits its believed to do to our bodies and consciousness. Carl Jung who was one of the greatest psychotherapist ever did lots of research into the effects that over ejaculation has on men, saying that right after a man releases his semen he goes straight into period like symptoms similar to woman. He reported that when a man releases we are completely messing up our hormonal balance and then we feel weak emotionally and physically. I totally agree with what Carl Jung says about being emotionally weak with too much ejaculation. I've observed these patterns in myself over the years, when going throu...
