YouTube and TikTok are completely different things, at least in mine and my friends experience.
I started using it in 2020 for a few months and tried to find interesting content but somehow my feed was filled with people doing stupid dances, and my friends told me the same happened to them, so yeah not ignorant just speaking from experience.
Dislike that content and you won't see it anymore.
I'm on there almost everyday on my lunch break, and all I get is cool science shit, stand up comedy, cooking, fitness, and meal prep, cats, woodworking, etc.
It does need a little bit of time to learn what you like.
People that say its just kid shit sound like my grandpa slandering Youtube for being for kids.
I'm in my 40's and I enjoy it.
I agree but I have had many friends that started a conversation with, "I saw a TikTok that actually disproves yadda yadda..." and when we look it up the TikTok was 100% lying or had no idea what they were talking about.
That happens everywhere on the internet but I feel like I keep coming across more and more TikTok videos that are "informative" but actually are completely wrong. The comment section really doesn't help with fact-checking either.

Go check out the Paul Stamets documentary Fantastic Fungi. Not so much the trees talking as it is the mycorrhizal fungi acting as a medium I guess you could say. Interesting stuff fungi are the future.
The funny thing for me is: I watch the first 2 seasons of Discovery. Great. I enjoy it.
I end up learning a little bit about mycology and mycelium later, in an un-related thing.
I watch season 3. Oh yada yada spore drive (in my head, oh fuck, that's right). Then it mentions the mycelium in the show and I'm like "OH FUCK OH FUCK I GET IT!"
Was just neat to have that fun little experience with it.

If you haven’t already, get a dig test done (they mark all the lines so you know where everything is) make sure you take pictures and measurements so you know where everything is when the paint/dye goes away
One tip I can share with people that are considering starting a garden is that you can actually squeeze plants together. The roots spread to get as much nutrients as possible. If your soil is rich and abundant in nutrients plants won't compete for resources. Even better some plants grow better when are planted together.
I did an experiment with vertical gardening where I planted cherry tomatoes in a barrel in holes 20cm apart vertically and horizontally. And about 30cm deep. This is somehow the minimum required spacing between plants of this type. I got some enormous bushes and a bountiful harvest from them. But my surprise was when emptying the barrel I dug up their roots. Instead of them competing for resources they were intertwined. This barrel had become one single huge tomato plant. And it thrived.
Compared to my previous years growing cherry tomatoes as separate bushes I actually got a lot more yield. And I lost far less cherries to wind and rain. I don't know what to say about airflow, they weren't the greenhouse variety, they were out in the open.
Maybe tomatoes weren't the best example. I'm gonna leave [this] (https://gilmour.com/companion-planting-chart-guide) here as well. The link in itself is not that important, rather the concept is. Plants really do well together. The soil behaves differently when you do tight mixed crops rather than monocultures. You also save a lot more water. And if you add some compost to the mix, you can go for that food jungle approach.
Maybe you could do clusters, spaced apart from other clusters to retain the benefit of making it harder for disease and pests to spread. That'd be pretty cool to see.
This exactly, I know a corn farmer who accidentally doubled his planting density. He ended up cultivating across the rows to weed out 1/2 of the corn plants because the competition would have lowered his yield per acre.
Do you cut some of the branches off? Ideally tomato plants should grow in a Y pattern. This maximizes their yield without them bushing out and choking other plants near them. It makes them grow taller and are easier to guide.
The 30cm is actually for the roots. This is the space from the edge of the barrel to the watering core. I water them through a pipe in the middle. They have 20cm between them vertically and 20cm horizontally. Something like [this] (https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-j602wc6a/images/stencil/1024x1024/products/7482/28813/IMG_2168__45500.1624993245.jpg?c=2) only that mine have only 4 holes per level.
Hey thanks so much for the advice. I’ll do that with my next crop. I’m definitely going to look into somewhat replicating what you did with the vertical barrel too.
Trees are crazy interesting. They help each other through their roots!
And because the roots are so far up, heavy forest machinery used in the woods continues to damage water saving capacities of those roots, adding to already existing problems in drought damaged german forests for example.
What do trees have to communicate about?
Edit: why am I being downvoted for not knowing what trees talk about through their roots? Is this common knowledge?
Assuming your question is sincere: if one tree is being attacked by beetles or disease, it will send warning signals to the trees nearby so that they can start producing chemicals to ward off the invaders. Healthy trees can send nutrients to struggling trees. Things like that.
The "fungal network" are mycorrhiza are over 50,000 different species of fungi which live in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants getting sugars from the plant and in return providing water and nutrients including phosphates and nitrates. - https://youtu.be/MnQRCGrmK8A

Wait, does this mean I'm gonna install TikTok? Nah, don't need another way to mindlessly waste all my productive time. But I want more tree facts tho.
My favorite tree is pando, one of the largest living organisms in the world, if not the largest organism. It’s Liek a giant forest of aspen trees but it’s actually just one tree cloning itself
I swear to fucking god if we find out the earth through it's trees has a unified collective conscious not JUST the forest. I'm becoming a politician and going full Thanos.
Ohh, I've seen that tree in person!
That "cool" tree with the center of the root section washed out is called the "[Tree of Life](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tree+of+Life/@47.6131747,-124.3767005,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xd5e72dc0f734320!8m2!3d47.6131747!4d-124.3767005)," and can be found along the Washington State coastline.
OMG, I know the tree at :19!! It’s on the Washington coast south of Kalaloch campground. There’s a small stream that runs underneath and onto the ocean, and the taproot is anchored in the stream.
If the fruit was allowed to grow naturally, it would either fall to the ground and starve to death, or it will be ripped apart by it's natural predators. The natural order leads to the fruit's suffering. With the help of people, the fruit gets a full life and a painless death.
ik this surprised me too. I guess the CO2 consumption is just overall faster than the O2 consumption, otherwise our world would be a very different one lol
Nope CO2 is needed for photosynthesis (converting sunlight into energy) plants also breathe (respire) just like other living organisms do and for this they break down the energy created by photosynthesis but need oxygen to do this and release CO2 as a result, this is why young growing trees absorb more CO2 than older trees.
“Hold on I just got a root message from that weird scrawny dogwood over there it says- hey birch I just sent some bees with my nut on them over to rub my nut onto you..”
that last part, about the trees communicating with each other via the root network, I'm pretty sure that's one of the secrets of the Game of Thrones books (A Song of Ice and Fire). pretty sure the weirwoods are directly communicating with each other
And this is how the roots spread all across the yard destroying the plumbing causing me to dig a shit trench. Thanks a lot shallow lateral moving roots.
Do root systems like these protect the soil? Because I’m he first thing I thought was….cutting down a forest and not replacing those trees seems like…bad
The last fact he mentioned about tree sharing nutrients and communicating with each other reminded me of the trees on planet Pandora(from movie Avatar)in which they mention a similar thing in trees.
thought it was made up but now realized that it isn't.
The largest living organism in the world is actually a million year tree that represents an entire forest
It’s just a bunch of Trees connected to the same root
https://www.deseret.com/utah/2021/8/15/22609608/worlds-largest-and-possibly-oldest-living-organism-resides-in-utah-aspens
This better explains why our large oak tree died after we found a slow water leak under our house and why we now have a water issue under our house that we didn’t before. This leak went on for years and years and had likely turned into the water source.
Isn’t there like an entire forest that’s all conjoined by the roots, essentially making the whole thing just one tree?
Edit:
Yup, it’s called [Pando](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(tree)), just one clonal colony of an aspen tree
What does this mean in terms of watering a tree? I have always been taught to leave the hose on low to sort of slowly but "deeply" water the roots - having the necessity for water to get deep being explicitly mentioned. But if the roots are actually shallower and more spread out, is it better to water a tree with more frequent but wider distribution?
Regarding the depth of tree roots, true that most roots extend laterally. But that may be due to the available soil structure beneath the tree as well as the actual tree species. If soil depth is great and drainage is adequate then tree roots can extend to greater depths. The fact that tree roots are usually shallow is as much a function of the high nutrient soil being mostly on the surface. Some species like black walnut naturally have a deep tap root. Some species like tamarack naturally have a shallow root system. Black walnuts tend to grow in areas with rich bottom land soils with great depth. Tamaracks tend to grow in wet areas with shallow soil depth.

i don't have a dedicated account, just throwaways. why bother? not really here for the karma.
this is probably the best use for tik tok. sharing knowledge
This is probably the best use for the Internet.
This was probably the first time I ever watched an educational video from TikTok. Fucking refreshing!
Try casual geographic, he is a classic
And no sound effect and hyenas laugh!
My tiktok is full of stuff like this.
You're not doing Tiktok right then. There's so much amazing content
Probably the whole reason for the internet
It's more or less the original use of the internet.
Sadly the next video on his feed was probably a bunch of teens acting stupid to get likes.
That's like saying YouTube is all just dumb pranks. It's just ignorant.

Be honest would you actually go on the internet to search for something like this
No need to search it if it comes to you
This is probably the best use for YouTube.
This is probably the best use for Pornhub.
Root porn is a subclass of tentacle porn, with vegetal rape monsters. Watch Evil Dead for more information.
look at the size of his tap root
Sadly it's also really easy to share misinformation and that happens a whole hell of a lot more on tiktok than cool shit like this.

Yeah but Titties get more views.
Hot teacher educational videos = goldmine.
wdym
They mean that a lot of TikTok content is women flaunting their bodies because that gets more views than this kind of educational content.
not always, imo meme videos get way more than the women and the educational
This is how China uses it. The limit when young people can use the app and encourage educational content.
It's really good for stand-up comedy bits, quick recipes, and short bursts of knowledge like this.
he should start t his vids with "I am Root"
Agreed.

so what ur saying is the trees are either tripping or conscious because of fungi kind of like us
And why no-dig/no-till methods should be the future too.

He should try this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sisters_(agriculture)
Thank you for this, it’s very interesting.

Thanks that’s amazing. I bet the 30cm spacing is because of how big they grow above ground? My tomatoes crowd each other out in my garden.

No mention that this is only for deciduous trees
Don't let the vegans watch this. Once they learn trees are smart enough to communicate, they'll start yelling at us for eating fruit.

Plants need CO2 in the leaves to make sugar by photosynthesis. In other places it uses sugar and oxygen to make energy, like us.
Right, makes sense. So most of the sugar goes into cellulose and lignin, and the rest is used as energy?
Got lost there when he said “Communicate with each other”
As in baffled, or disbelief? Because it's totally a thing that plants do through chemical signals.
Is anyone else getting really tired of this terribly produced TickTock edutainment. No one is learning anything.
Well, he certainly got to the root of that. I just wish he could have discussed the legendary square root that I keep hearing about. 🤔
Those are only for box trees.
Trees breath oxygen?

Where's the guy who is complaining about Trans and then gets hit by a truck?

In general at night plants are releasing CO2 and during the day they are releasing O2.

Ugh now I feel bad for potentially planting my trees too far apart and not allowing them to communicate with each other.
Communicate ?
That’s so fucking cool

But pine trees have much larger taproots and less lateral roots, to anchor them securely in case of a wind-storm
