no till soil, native wildflowers. PS that's a nice looking dog too

My yard looks much like Bonita's. I think it takes a lot more intentional work to maintain a 'wild mess' yard than it does swaths of dead zone kentucky bluegrass. My neighbors all hate my yard, but I think they're just jealous! One woman sent her husband over to ask why I have butterflies when no one else does. I love the forest, so I've tried to mimic it in my front yard with all of the different layers. I also leave dead logs lying around for the lightning bugs. Someone once told me that you have to create the life you want to live. I want to live surrounded by trees, flowers, birds, butterflies & lightning bugs ❤

I'm from India.. I have grown up seeing so many fire flies in my garden to fields..but day by day they are becoming rare.. It's so heartbreaking.. I'm living in a town where no garden is found.. I've a big tarrace where I can make such garden.. Help me to do so

Thankyou I am excited to try this!

Addiction to pot is no laughing matter

❤❤❤❤ oh how happy you have made me!!! I’m gonna be a pot making fool. I’ve got this bounty of newspaper and was wondering what besides mulch could I use it for. I tried the other ones and I thought I was gonna have an anxiety attack. Your video saved the day.

So nicd to see Buster the Adventure Cat in a video! We were also super impressed with Yuki's tree carrying skills... way to go Yuki!

Very cool ideas!

How many pieces of newspaper do you put together (since it's thinner than regular paper, I think)? Still 2 pieces? Great tutorial - thanks!

Love it❣️Thank you Brit, Akira and Aoi❣️

What a pleasant field trip

cant believe this kind of content fell off the chart. i greatly appreciate it though, since i get to see things i cant personally get to

thank you very much for sharing .its beautiful

How trendy that crows speak with an accent there!

Fascinating, awesome and kinda creepy!!

I love that you can use regular 8.5 x 11 sheets. Thank you

Nett aber viel zu aufwändig und kompliziert

Thank you

Very cool! I've been wanting to do this. Side question though, can you link your stove thingy? I think I need one.

How long does the dye last? (Assuming this is measured in number of normal laundry wash cycles)

You gave a chance to that bird to be reborn as a compassionate living being! -- I AM ALSO WONDERING HOW THEY CAN FLY SO FAR SOUTH WHILE THEY NEED TO FEED THEMSELVES EVERY 15 MINUTES.

Fabulous and informative

Thank you for the great content!!! ❤❤❤

I'm also in eastern ontario and found this video looking them up after seeing them in my backyard in the evening while I was letting out my dog. So many of them! And since they flash as the sun is setting you can still see them without their light and I caught one which was pretty easy because they are slow flyers. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure they realize their flashes would be wasted while sitting in a bottle so they just never did so I released him.

Too long of an intro felt like I was reading the life story before a recipe of a grilled salmon

Worms are no longer present many places to keep walking into bodies of water, not only when it's raining. They used to feed the food chains of the bodies of water no longer with those life forms tied to that reason; the loss of the worms. And so the birds eat other, etc..

I haven't seen fireflies since I was a kid in Japan in the '50's. We used to catch them and put them in jars but I don't remember releasing them. Kids are heartless. I was hoping to see them when I visited my brother in Ohio during couple of summers but never did. They're so magical.

Great video. Thank you ❤

Growth is not neat

How am I only just watching this now?!? Loved this so much, i had a huge smile on my face the whole time. I can't believe you managed to get Dude's dance on camera... he's got MOVES!

Therapeutic.

Cute chicks

I'm so curious about the fireflies + maple syrup link too! I hope you manage to learn more about that connection. I love how clearly you show how microclimates can affect the sap run. And the heat camera is such a cool thing to add to your toolbox!

Enjoyed the casual format. I had no idea about the subtle hint fallen trees left behind!

Down in Louisiana, at least in my little corner, we get fireflies as early as April

In the mid south we see lots of fire flies in spring when it is not freezing and is moist. If it dries out in late June through September they go away. They need rain And dew to mature.

We have a tiny yard, but we normally get about 1 trillion times more fireflies than any neighbors , we leave a lot of wild growth and generally rip up grass when ever possible

Comment for actually going into the water.

What a fun and valuable lesson. Great video!!!

I love this so much!!! Super fun and educational. I want to rewatch it with the kids I know. :)

Oggi, you deserve a prize for jumping in the creek in February!!!! 😰❄️

This is one of my all-time favourite Berries and Bushcraft videos

it's so awesome to see Yuki get better and better at mushing! Go Yuki!!!

Is it in Ireland are there fireflies in Ireland?

People always ask me about getting fireflies/glowworms to release in their gardens. My usual response is to get their garden in line with their needs first and to invide them this way instead! Nice video on exactly that topic!

I have millions of these beautiful fireflies in my field. They love the green bean field. The can fly high up to the roof of my roof and to the top of my super tall maple tree.

Hi Bonita, love your yard. I live a couple of streets over from you and am blessed by firefly light too. Good to see you online.
