Anyone want to help out South Belfast?

-

 Good morning guys,


If anyone in the Belvoir estate area or South Belfast would like to come and help out at the Phantom Planters HQ to pull back grass from around our fruit trees please feel free too.

Pop down anytime you want and work away just like I'm doing in the video.

If you dont know where it is Google search Belvoir Memorial Orchard.


Doing this can really help prevent disease giving the lower parts of the trunk the ventilation it needs and pulling away the weeds and grass thats competing with the tree is a big help too.


Please guys if anyone is going to do this to always do it by hand, no strimmers or lawnmowers to be used here, This orchard is a utopia for all life.


Just yesterday as I was pulling the grass back from one of the trees this massive frog was hibernating at the base of the tree, this orchard is home for all life.

No pesticides/herbicides are to be used here also, keep it real, keep it natural.


I'm a great believer that we must listen to nature, if a tree gets diseased and doesn't survive or gets ate by bugs and insects, its not meant to be there. Plant something that is!


I never lost any sleep over spending a few hundred quid on a night out on drink and drugs. I'm not going to loose any sleep over paying for the price of an apple tree to be replaced.


I've noticed at this orchard the amount of life thats came to it from working with nature and not being at war with it.


Nature is like a chain or command, once you kill one bug you deter other bugs like ladybirds that may come into eat that, and another that will come and it that one. Don't mess up the chain! 


The slugs also bring in the frogs and many other varieties of birds and there has even been owls and jays spotted at our orchard!


I seen one Jay sitting on the branch of an apple tree eating an apple last summer. 

There is enough to go around and anyhow every tree I plant is an offering to nature. wasps, bugs and birds, "fill your boots" as I'm not stopping planting and chanting.


We all need to be more mindful about how we interact with the creation. There is so much mental and physical suffering going on around us, I believe one of the main causes of this is we are taking too much from nature and not returning. 

We are part of the creation, made up of the elements around us and most of us have bitten off more than we can chew that we are acquiring huge amounts of Karmic debt.

Never mind what others are doing, its what you are doing that matters. 

Everything happening around us I believe is karma being played out, we should try not interfere or get caught up with it. We should try and project our own positive light into the world.


"Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do." Buddha....


Have a good day guys. 


Peace and love

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
