The Phantom Planter

 Good morning guys, would like to thank everyone who has donated to our fundraiser for our new heritage Irish memorial/community orchard we are setting up. This orchard is going to be a prototype for future community orchard projects.  We have already ordered our second polytunnel thanks to your generosity so that we have the capability of producing 1000 native Irish apple trees annually. My old saying in business was "if you dont have it you cant sell it", people always thought I was crazy because I carried so much stock of what I was selling.  I'm a great believer in keeping money working for you, money does not make money - commodities and goods make money.  Entrepreneurs dont save money, they invest, expand and project ideas with enthusiasm and one day probability will fall into they're favour and they hit it big time! Speaking from personal experience, I made it rich, more money than most I had but its not all that! Money comes with way too much dark energies. Pe

 Next month will mark 5 years from I started the phantom planter and it will also mark 6 years from I gave up the booze! It's in black and white right there - 1 year escaping the demon drink trap and look what was created - "The Phantom Planter"! I still smoked weed every day after I stopped drinking but the day I setup the phantom planter me and Mary Jane aka weed had an official divorce. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed my relationship with weed if used the right way. Weed and yoga is what Shiva is believed to bring back from the heavens and doing yoga on weed is what I did every day for years.  Much of the weed these days though is genetically modified and way too strong. Its putting kids heads away making many Bipolar and very moody until they get a smoke.  Weed is a very complex herb and people need to know what strains they are smoking in accordance with they're personality type. You shouldnt be just buying whats on the street and smoking it, you should find

 The Yew Tree Berry - One of the most deadliest things around, eat three of these seeds and your a goner, although the only part of the yew tree thats not poisonous is the red flesh around the seed which is edible but dont go putting these things in your mouth anyway! Now really is peak time to be out seed collecting from our native trees and start to grow your own trees for phantom planting. I believe its everyone's duty and responsibility to be doing this and its also a great way to get out and learn and connect to nature. Many people say social media is not good for our mental health, I guess that all depends on what your using it for, with every negative in life comes an equal or even greater positive as Napoleon Hill says. Social media is intended by its creators to make money and to control, a form of brainwashing but if you look through the cracks for me its the best thing ever for getting positive messages out there and learning first hand from real people doing real good t

Rope climbing has to be one of my favourite workouts.  I have no real goals in training, training for me is like playing in the park. If your not enjoying training chances are you'll never stick at it.  I can climb the highest mountain in Northern Ireland barefoot with ease and enjoyment and can climb a rope.  What more do you really need to do! I'm very happy with the way my body is performing at 44 years old.  This body is the diving suit for the soul, don't go to extremes with it, don't let the ego take over, there is always someone bigger and better just around the corner, (my delboy dad always told me this)  We can loose ourselves in competition and our communities and nature needs you.  Get the vessel firing on all cylinders and get out there and use this body for doing good. Plant trees, help your elderly, pick up some litter, walk some rescue dogs.  This world needs these types of postive vibrations more so than ever.  I've been so guilty in the past at bein

  Good morning guys, There is still time if anyone would like an apple tree planted at our new community/memorial orchard we are planting up this December. The tree can be a memorial tree, celebration tree or even just planted for someone. Your tree will be name tagged and the location and a pic of the tree will be sent to you at the time of planting. All the trees that will be planted will be native Irish apple trees that have been carefully selected and grown by myself The Phantom Planter. We've went all over The Emerald Isle searching for rare old Irish apple trees to get cutting material from for growing and now we have 21 native Irish apple varieties ready to be plant up this winter. A total of 300 apple tree will be planted at this orchard. Be part of something special guys and make your mark at our new heritage memorial/community orchard coming soon. This orchard is aimed to provide free fresh food for the community and nature for all to go and visit freely. If anyone would

 This will probably be the last week I've had to water potted fruit trees we've phantom planted in the past year.  It's so important to water potted fruit trees for the first year. I've noticed bareroot trees phantom planted in winter never really need watered unless severe drought. But that's not common here in Northern Ireland.  I always remember back at the start when posting on here that I was phantom planting potted fruit trees in summer and some would comment saying how stupid I was planting trees in summer, that they need watered every week and they will die.  My simple answer was, I carry the water to my trees no matter where they are. I've even carried water up mountains before.  I love carrying water to the trees, the trap, shoulder and arm workout you get from carrying 2 x 25 litre drums of water for a km or so is better than most gym workouts.  And its got a purpose and meaning. When you make it to your tree and water it, it's a feeling of accomp
