Lets get making our streets and estates into urban orchard for everyone to have free fresh food!

Love my rings!

Image
 These gymnastics rings are definitely up there with one of the best things I've ever bought.  When you get to know how these work the amount of different exercises you can do is unreal, and they are very cheap too, 20 quid I think I paid, straps included.  They fit neatly into any bag and can be hung of trees and football nets. I've always got mine with me.  Daily is training is a must for me, everyday I have to do something in the mornings. Whether it be stretching, a good walk, weights or calisthenics. Its important to respect the diving suit for the soul and keep it strong. This is the vessel to carry you to enlightenment, look after it.  I'm intending on planting and chanting for decades to come. I gotta keep the body firing on all cylinders.  Look after you Look after nature Look after your community  All interconnected and interdependent I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

Stone age to cutting edge

How to germinate acorns

 Good morning guys, This is how simple it is to germinate acorns. I leave them like this over winter not letting them dry out, then I would try and keep them covered with something also like a fine mesh to stop any birds digging them up over winter. Come spring I'll check and see which ones have germinated and will pot them up in their own individual pots. I've been doing it this way for years and works perfect for me. BTW check out the acorn collection this year, all these acorns have been picked from the oldest and most famous oak trees in the UK and Ireland and sent to me by the Paramili-Trees SAS branch (Special Acorn Service).  It's been a very busy year. We all need to get out collecting seeds from our ancient trees to grow them up for phantom planting.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

Environmental Graffiti

Image
 Love these 4 phantom planted fruit trees.  Phantom planted about 3 years ago, they are apple, pear and plum.  Many people always say your trees will get ripped out and a waste of time back when I first started this phantom planting but I called back then environmental graffiti.  As you can see the council and community are respecting the trees.  Dont be out to rub anyone up the wrong way in your phantom plantings.  Plant sensibly guys.  You can support this great work we do by supporting us on patreon or alternatively paypal and bank transfer   Big plans this winter and need all the help we can get.  Please copy and paste links into your browser  https://www.patreon.com/ThePhantomPlanter?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FAJZHB3TBXMSL Uk business bank details Name on account-  Free Food For All Sort code 950679 Account number 30178756 If you cant support us I challenge you to phantom...

Back round to begging bowl day

Image
 Good morning guys.  Its back round to Sunday again which is begging bowl day.  As most of you know I've a couple of big projects underway that will cost a lot of money and time and we would be very grateful for your support.  Our inner council members put so much unpaid time and effort into this movement. I like to see they get treated now and again. Myself this week must have put in atleast 20 hours work to do with the phantom planter. What started out as a hobby for me has turned into a worldwide movement!  There are 2 major projects I'm working on this winter. The completion of the largest heritage Irish orchard in the country with over 500 apple trees.  We have 300 here now at the minute at the Lisnabreeny site.  Have another 200 just waiting to go dormant to get planted very soon. Then the creation of the spiral oak grove museum.  All our work is open for everyone to go and see. From the phantom planters HQ aka Belvoir Memorial Orchard to th...

More from the SAS

Image
 Got some more acorn packages in the post yesterday. Really nice looking acorns too from The Chained Oak at Alton Towers which is one I dont have and have been really wanting. Also more from the Darley Oak in Cornwall and The Wyndham Oak in North Dorset. One of the packages was addressed to the SAS (Special Acorn Service)! Made me laugh seeing this. Not sure what my post woman thinks these days! Thank you so much to all of you who sent these, hope this post finds you as I'm getting a bit lost with so many messages at the minute to thank you personally. I'm not far off getting the 37 acorns from most of the oldest and iconic oak trees in the UK and Ireland. My mind has been so stimulated with this project lately. The next thing I want to do after I get the spiral the way I want it and all planted up is build a good phantom planter website with all our work logged on here. I'm thinking of putting a QR code at each oak tree and it will take you to the website and tell you all ...
