Here's how we sprout our chestnut trees. Last year I drove my wife crazy with how much refrigerator space I taking up. This method solves that problem. Fingers crossed for the spring!

Does anyone do anything similar?

Nice video, Morgan! I subbed. :) Beautiful property you have there!

We get tons of chestnuts here in the fall and I never know what to do with them. I'm going to give this a try with sawdust and see what happens. Nothing to lose!

Tune in to Maple Grove Productions for homesteading videos, a weekly VLOG, documentaries, permie spotlights and more!

I just plant them and let nature do the work, seems to me that if nature plants chestnuts in the fall, then that's probably the best time to do it.
I do the same for all tree seeds including fruit trees.
