Oooohhhh! YES! A stumpery! I absolutely love it and would be super excited to watch an episode on moss if that’s something you’d ever be interested in identifying and explaining the benefits of. Also, my husband and I have been talking for years about having a decorative log in our front yard covered in moss and plants. So encouraging to see others in the native gardening space doing the same.

I routinely plant right into woodchips in my garden I’ve not noticed it being a major problem for most stuff. And over a few years all that stuff decays to compost anyway and it feeds the fungi and plants well so I never really worry about it now I’ve started to consider not using woodchips in some areas to keep ground bare for ground nesting bees and such.

I didn't know the name for this, but have seen one made from tree stumps and fallen branches at my local botanic garden with lily of the valley amongst other plantings. I love the way they look, and look forward to seeing how yours develops!

Really, you have a stumpery now as well? Nice! It was the first thing I did when I got my allotment two years ago, because there were some stumps lying around. I still really like it, also in partial sun and with other types of perennials. It's definitely popular with the insects (and toads!) and it offers different plant habitats (both moist and well-drained) for plants as well!

I think you have the seed for something amazing there. You will find that basically all wood looks ✨. When the decay process is a BENEFIT all wood suddenly becomes useful! Im sure Sander has to constantly discard pieces - when building stuff - as soon as they show signs of decay 🤔. But what decay is ugly, really? Burned wood looks amazing, loss looks amazing, any and all signs of life create a patina. So... Ypu guys have a huge piece of land and should have tons and tons of beautiful wood laying around. That little garden right outside the house could be a really interesting place to put some wood 🤔 if you take on a permaculture mindset you will find that you can use the wood to create microclimates - for example spots where certain plants do better. Even food plants that suffer in the heat might work on the north side of the wood. Wood can be an amazing resource får snbuals as well. Try creating garden beds with rotting wood. Will they last forever? No, but how difficult is moving small logs with your equipment..? They look stunning AND they hold moisture. When they break down youve got the foundation for a hugel bed. From an aesthetic perspective I think the most mindblowing aspect is having long pieces of wood that you "erect". It's a Japanese technique and looks amazing. It adds a height dimension and just looks cool as hell. That could easily be converted into an Arbor also 👍 but then you would definitely want some sturdy pieces. Actually, it would even work to buy wooden stakes that you burn - at both ends - to create beauty, at the top end, and to make it last for longer in the ground. Im sure you could burn it all the way. Random thoughts of the day haha. But you will be amazed at how interesting wood is in a garden. Wood + rocks and youve got yourself all the John Bauer-vibes you can handle... ✨

Even vegetables don’t mind woodchips IF the soil is already rich i organic matter (forest floor) AND the chips are dropped on top and not mixed in the soil. If the chips are mixed into the soil (it’s a technique to quickly rebuild soil texture (prevent erosion) and fungus networks : nitrogen ’ robing’ happens. It’s actually nitrogen borrowing, it gets locked into the composting, and then slow release as the organic matter is used up in the soil.

Deer love to eat my spicebush! And Lily of the Valley is a big problem because it invades into the woods like crazy from the garden bed. (It was not planted intentionally. Its roots were in other plants given to me by friends.) I would not recommend planting it where it is free to roam.

Maybe making a video on how to grow out little tree plugs in bigger pots? I think they have the problem that they cut down little trees by accident or they get suffecated by weeds. For example technices like that air pruning and stuff like that with pros and cons. Would be a lot cheaper i guess and they have the space i bet.

Oh I laughed seeing “stumpery garden”- here there is a very small enclosed garden patch where a huge tree was removed, leaving a big stump…I always referred to it as “ the stump garden “. Deer also hate Alliums. Ooh that moss on those stumps, glorious. What a huge, thick Solomon Seal, never saw one so lush. I’m amazed you can get the shovel into that nice soil so easily, no roots or rocks to hassle with, I’m envious…are Rhodendrums, Dogwoods or Mountain Laurel in the woods there? Do you ever plant any Pine or Juniper? Was fun watching you both planplant those areas, someday I’d love to visit with a map highlighting what has been planted…! 🤗🌳🌿

Have you made a video on how to properly tackle the multifora rose/Honeysuckle? I have a yard that is currently invested (along with invasive bittersweet) and its been quite the task trying to tame it. Especially the bittersweet! I've found that targeted glyphosate application has helped the most but I'm wondering if there are other effective techniques I could have under my belt.

Great stumperies and plans. Deer eat my flowering quince and Solomon's Seal, though maybe you can get away with it. For trees and shrubs, I save a lot of time and labor and some dollars by mulching with straw rather than wood chips. It's so quick and easy. Definitely not a manicured look but can be surprisingly aesthetic. Couple hay with colorful rooster sculptures (or stumps!) and you get a quick farmyard rustic look. A good way to get visual interest and fruit production outside deer fencing is to plant and temporarily protect domesticated grape vines on well situated pre-existing trees (above browse). Otherwise, black currants and pawpaws deer don't bother even growing at low levels. And black currants can produce more heavily in partial shade than in full sun. Tall tubed trees can be planted above deer browse, of course. Persimmon would be great, since it can hold both visual interest and fruit in fall and winter. Doesn't hurt that pawpaw and persimmon are the premier tree fruits of size both regionally and on the continent, in my view. Dessert fruits, no less. Flying Dragon hardy citrus (lemon-like) also seems to need no deer protection since so thorny and could be hardy there. I've been growing it in zone 5 for a few years now. So good so far but will see. Brunswick fig has bushed out wonderfully each year on a mound for a decade after annual total topkill. No fruit but very ornamental leaves and entirely deer proof.

We planted a one-stump garden years ago in NY. Cut down a willow tree behind the garage that was getting out of hand with the stump up a few feet from the ground. By the next year it was rotting, plus of course, little shoots coming out. We hollowed it out as much as we could, put in some potting soil and planted red impatiens which loved it there and grew like crazy. It was beautiful. We did the same the next year and a chipmunk took up residence in the stump as well and we loved watching him in the flowers. And here we thought we were so original!
