    This was the most informative video I’ve seen. I bought a small red twig dogwood from Lowe’s because I wanted one but didn’t plant it right away as I didn’t know where to plant it. I planted six months later this spring. it’s been almost months in the ground and it’s now the start of July. I see no signs of growth with new shoots or leaves. The scratch test on the twigs are green which should indicate it’s alive. Should I just leave it and give it more time to settle in? I’m nervous to prune it as it seems it has one line tank at the base with about six 18” shoots growing from it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    • @thatgreenthing

  • @kenltron
    @kenltron 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not really a hack! You keep a fire going 24/7, and the firebox will fill with coals if you don't manage it. I do mostly what you do - move coals around to shake off ash - then I start sifting and scooping. I use regular fireplace tools and an "ember and ash separator" which looks like a french fry basket you'd see at McDonald's (found on Amazon a few years ago). I put ashy coals in the basket, sift the ash out, dump the coals in the firebox, shovel out the ash. I may have 5-6 fire cycles a day on very cold days, and getting coals burned down and the firebox ready for the next fire is part of that process for me (and probably a lot of us!).

      @@thatgreenthing Only 3 years old and already 7 feet high, wow. Do you fertilize or just let it do what it does naturally? I am trying to get some tips as I purchased 5 varieties of a panicle hydrangeas in the past 2 years. They are the Limelight, Quick Fire, Quick Fire Fab, Bobo and the Pinky Winky. The Limelight, Quick Fire and the Bobo can get that dreaded flopping when we get a good rain. I was wondering how much longer for sturdier stems. I am thinking about giving the Quick Fire Fab away as I feel the blooms get so large and will always flop. I also love your style of pruning, the mushroom shape. I will definitely be using that technique when trimming my Limelight hydrangeas.

    • @thatgreenthing
      @thatgreenthing 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @seriejohnson698 Oh, sorry. I meant to say that Limelight was 3 yrs. at the time of purchase, making the one you see about 20 yrs., now. I do not fertilize them. It would depend on the environment into which you plant them. I love the new varieties with "fire" in the description. I cut back the PG varieties hard in the Fall to help build strong stems to withstand drooping.

    My ash gets 4 inches deep. I use two metal buckets. I usea shovel to put hot coals into the double bottom one. I put the mostly hot ash into a single bottom bucket, and remove to the outside to cool down. I replace the hot coals. For restarting, i put strips of cedar bark and a here shavings on the coals, front to back. Then small cedar at a right angle across them. Then a couple oak pieces front to back across the cedar. It usually starts l in 1-2 minutes.
