Meitheal is the Irish word for Gathering – but usually it refers to a work party. This time the meitheal was at our place and we planted trees. It was muddy and a lot of fun and many trees were planted, mulched and fenced. We expect to be enjoying them for many years to come.

are you going to make a video about, how to grow fuel for your tractor
It's great that you have such a willing bunch of helpers.Are you anywhere near Coomhola? We just spent a few days there and loved it.
Just planted 2 Cherry trees
5000 spruce trees here in sweden
Always wanted to know that spiky grass/weeds at 2:43 if goats would eat it? Because everybody know goats might eat strangest things, so thought what about those weeds? thanks
was wondering how the poplar would do close to the sea. I'm in kilmore quay ,wexford.
not planting any trees but putting up.lots of fencing.
My wife's family owns a castle there.
Nice
Would Black Walnut trees be good in your climate? When I was a boy in the 1950s, the transplanted Irish dairy farmers in NY state would grow them so that when they were ready to retire from farming and handoff to their children they would sell those trees to the local mill as their retirement nestegg. Also while I am asking questions ( new to your site) you said you grew turnips to feed the horses. Those turnips are delicious and seem to be wasted on those beasts of burden. Do you not eat turnips? Do you also eat tripe?
When is a good time to plant poplar trees and where can the slips be sourced. I am in east cork and have been planning to fence my place the same way you have ( without the meitheil unfortunately! ) and also wanted a scattering of trees inside the fence line?
Great video as always, relaxing even when ye are trudging through the muck!
What a wonderful community you have! Such a great video I really enjoyed it.
Your videos are so wonderful. Thank you very much for all your hard work. Shari London Ont.
wow that is some fertile soil. I'm hoping to plant some fruit trees and nut trees this year. great vid.
Do you still have chickens? Would love to see a video on them!
Do you have ditches to help with draining the water from the land?
It's just all fun, fun, fun for you two isn't it?
I saw you do this before, but still can't believe you do it … stapling the wire mesh to the corner post, then CUTTING IT OFF!!
The proper way is this ~ take the mesh right around the post, strain it to itself, drive staples halfway in so they keep the horizontal wires at the correct height on the post but the wires can still move, then cut each wire separately (leaving a LONG end) and tie the free end off tightly around itself, so the whole thing wraps right around the strainer post. Anything else is just pretending!
i was working in sahara so i dont have time to see what are you doing
i really miss all of your videos i will watch them all of them in this few days
sorry my languge is not good
