Planting Nandina!// What You NEED to Know// Crystal Does
Hi Garden Friends!
We are taking a trip back to this fall when I planted up some nandina bush in my back garden. In this video I address some common concerns and mistakes people make when planting and caring for Nandina and how to do so in the most conscientious way. Do you have any nandina in your yard? How do you maintain it?

actually more than 5k kelvin would be better 6 to 6,500 k
fellow racoon here, well over 100 have seen your predicament
Does it matter what time of year you start this?
Did the weeds come back?
The release from watching this was huge…Needed that, Love. Enjoyed every minute of your video. New subby ❤😊
I have a well established garden. Sheet mulching isn't practical any longer. Instead I apply a granular pre emergent weed killer twice yearly. It keeps the need for weeding to a low level.
Anyone else start a bed dig then a month later you finally finish it?
Try 50. Sweaty, breathing heavy and my rear in the air.
Great video! I would sprinkle on some slow release fertilizer and some Preen right at the plant bases before applying the cardboard and the mulch. You’d be surprised at how much that helps.
GREAT ADVICE!!! I am spending waaaayyy too much money on plants!!!
Very nicely done. Thanks for the useful video😃
What you need to know….don’t plant nandina!!!
Hi Crystal, Beginner here, and so Id like to just pull up the weeds and add the mulch with some fake plants maybe. Do you suggest, I use weed killer 1st before using the cardboard? Thank you.
The cardboard last approximately 2 years then it breaks down and the weeds start again. The clients should know this.
would the cardboard not just break down in a couple of months and become fertilizer for weeds and grass in that mulch bed?
This was so helpful! Als9 i love helping friends and seeing others do so too ❤ I only found your channel today and am hoping you come back to TH-cam soon!
Cardboard is one of the best ways to keep weeds down. Here in the Minneapolis area the wild bean and creeping Charlie is just insane
Just get to the point please
Would you do the same with rocks on top? I don't like buying mulch all the time
😃🎉 Excellent I subscribed to your channel 🙏
Do you have to redo this every year?
Greetings from Ireland, Great job, Its the bees knees. I started a no dig garden veg bed ten years ago and it works well. I make my own compost to top up the bed every year. I use the rest of the compost to mulch my flower beds every year that were dug out twenty years ago. Pity I did not know about Charles Dowding at the time it would have saved me digging.
Nice legs
Great tip, how long does carboard last and why better than weed screen?
Thank you.
Yesssss the exact video I needed to see ❤
Are you coming back?
Great process - I forgot about cardboard!!
Nice work and way to help your friend out! May I ask what is the cultivar of the boxwood (I think) in the center back? Between the holly on the left and the spruce on the right. Looks perfect for my garden!
Amazing video ❤ You explained everything so well. Thank you
You're a good friend! Keep up the great work...and deeds!
Very pretty! I like how the zinnias get broken up into smaller pieces….I probably would’ve just plopped the whole thing in one spot 😂 So nice of you to do that for your friend. ☺
Came out great! I've been using the cardboard and mulch combo in my yard for years. We have really aggressive weeds and I have to put a minimum of four layers of cardboard (two boxes folded up). It has worked great. I've never watered it in. Also, aside from keeping the cardboard away from the base of your plants for watering purposes, its also good because cardboard and mulch touching the stem/trunks of plants can cause rot.
It's in the name 💚🌱 lol
If I had a weed patch that big, I'd just sell the house!
Thank you, I know what to do now! Gotta go, got to save some boxes!! 🏃🏼♀️
Got to the Chase and stop all that chitchat
Do you have a follow up video?
A woman after my own heart! I never wear gloves either! I’m always too rather to get started I forget the gloves! I love your generous spirit and enthusiasm!
You are a good friend!☺️
Osmosis is magic annnnnd you got a cute butt!
1:50
Thank you for the great idea. I will definitely do this 🙏🌹
That's good thinking with the wire compost bin as oxygen can get into the pile better than with a regular compost setup such as the bins I'm using which do make the regular appearance in my monthly youtube garden videos. I decided to leave it though as I do work a shovel into my bins to get some oxygen in there. Thanks for sharing :)
Instead of mulch...could I add rocks instead?
I feel like I always need more mulch !
I live in zone 6 and Heavenly Bamboo is not considered invasive in my zone. It does wonderfully and I would highly recommend them for their texture and color. Also, in the 15 yrs. I've been growing them (I have 6 or 7 very large plants), I've never seen a bird near them. I can't explain why, but I'm wondering if they put off a scent. Also, I use the berries for outdoor christmas container decorations, and they are beautiful.
Yeah. my weeds just grow through concrete
