>>529349>>529351There's this thing called "thinning out" which involved you cutting off/weeding out the extra plants, leaving only the ones you want to grow. If you don't do this, all will suffer. You can't transplant these extra plants either or the damage caused to the roots of the remaining plants may kill them.
This is why I plant single seeds much further apart, in separate containers, or germinate them prior to planting them. Then I can transplant as needed without root shock to anything.
Your bunch of plants were too small to be much of a problem when transplanting. After the roots get entangled it would be detrimental to separate them.
>>529561I have over 30 acres of land I can fence them off on. But that requires building a foot bridge across a raging river. I only have around 3 acres accessible and it is covered in orchard, gardens, etc. My biggest problem is putting them in a safe place. Otherwise, I'll have preemptive tree pruning and related problems.
>de-horningNo need to do that. You can simply cover the tips if you are afraid of them. They make a great way to control a goat. You can also attach something to the horns to prevent them from exploring in places they shouldn't be or getting stuck in fences.
