Readers asking: black walnut

For two years I’ve been wanting to create new trees from the seeds of the black nut – juglans nigra – nuts, but none have come out of me. I will explain to you the path I have followed: pick up the nut from the tree in September or October, when it is ripe. In November, subsoil it to a depth of about five centimeters, and then water it occasionally so that the seed has the right moisture. I have followed the same path with the seeds of the local walnut tree – juglans regia – and I have had absolute success. I've heard that black walnut seeds are difficult to germinate. Let me see if you can give me any instructions. Thank you very much. Assisted by Xabier Mauleon (San Sebastian).

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Assisted by Iepa Xabier. Do the session with the stratification technique. You need a container with holes where the water can go (the best of wood) and a mixture of sand of river and black earth (ratio 10-2). Put the sand, the walnuts, the sand, the walnuts... in layers in the bowl, put the sand thick to finish. Keep the container outside in a cool or cold place; do not drown but always keep the sand moist. Protect them from animals that would eat nuts with a net or whatever.

This technique is based on the fact that the seeds do not dry, and gradually assimilate the moisture that will help them to germinate in the spring. Pay attention to the germination, explain to them by then move on to the muintegri or the orchard, otherwise the roots and the envy of one and the other will be entangled.
We'll tell them...

Hi Jakoba, the vegetable garden has become permaculture, and lately we're getting a few mushrooms out of the vegetables. What does this mean? And if it was an indicator of imbalance, what can we do to fix it? Bego Tapia Altzo

Hi Jakoba. In winter, in addition to vegetables, sow the heather. I cut off towards the spring, turned the land and threw it to the subsoil. Can I do this and shut it down? Goodbye. John of Atxirika Murueta

Hi Jakoba. I have a young hayedo and I've been told that the best thing is that the plant is young, to leave one end and cut off the other ends. What do you think? And what moon should I cut those ends with? Thank you very much and a greeting. Kepa Martinez (Alegia)

Hi Jakoba. Last year I had to sow the red seed three times. The first two of them served me with the blonde that I'd had for years, and they made me lose. I finally decided to buy the new seed and great. Do bean seeds lose their strength over time? John of Atxirika Murueta
