Thank you. Best video for this problem. Made the fix easy.

Wow! You really go to town on those peppers. I used to just prune them down, dig them up, and throw them in a pot. I kept them in the rafters over winter. Recently I've been overwintering them in-ground with protection. (Melbourne Australia around zone 9b?) Sadly this year we got some late frosts and bad storms and they didn't make it. I'll be bringing them indoors again this winter. Great video👍

Excellent presentation of information, thank you !!!

Very informative this will help with my FFA class I subscribed!

I worry about that stuff being harmful to the environment and little critters.

I have no idea what this smells like but have heard so much about it I bought one yesterday that was 5ft tall. I’m in Tampa bay. No idea when it blooms here. Everyone I asked around here hasn’t been very informative either.. so I guess I wait lol

I’m in North AL as well. HOA restricts to 6’ fence, even for just the back yard so I’m looking for height but not too much spread. It will be right along a fence line and I’m also concern that my septic is on the particular side I’m trying to shield. Any ideas on which if these are best for height, lower radius, and less detrimental root system for septic?

What kind of Zoysia is yours? Im in notthwest Florida and want to change from centipede to Zoysia.

in my test with the live oaks they tend to grow weather they float or sink ive only conducted 2 pretrial test batches so far so good on all of them they are pretty resilient

Thank you for making this video

HI! Thank you so much for this video! Have you ever heard of voles or moles liking the roots of these? I really want a privacy screen of them on my side yard but I have voles and moles in my yard and a little worried they will eat them. Any information is greatly appreciated!

I'm in North Alabama so it was nice to find your channel

Don't these grow up to 50 ft tall? Or is that a different family variant?

Thank you for this talk that is based on scientific information.

Excellent video, thank you.

I found earwigs love it. I keep it out of the garden now. My greens and seedlings do much better without those night feeders.

I live in the Southern Drakensberg mountains of South Africa and use cardboard to suppress weeds (Rividia/mouse-eared-clover) and mulch (along with straw or pine needles depending on the shrub). I'm preparing compost for a red-wriggler barrel and a few truck tyre piles - lots of used coffee grounds, soaked torn cardboard, small sticks, horse manure, kitchen and garden waste. Holding thumbs that the combination works and the wrigglers multiply.

Very helpful. Thank you for covering the whole process. 😊

Thanks man you helped me out today! 11/07/24 🫡🫡🫡💯👍🏽💪🏽🤩

I did a lot of cardboard in my garden this year. I topped it with a mix of top soil, twigs and straw, and black Kow fertilizer. Anywhere the cardboard was covered in soil or a rock had broken down within about a month, anything that was sticking out and didn’t get cover didn’t break down at all. I Planted patty pan squash, jack o lantern pumpkins and marigolds, tomatoes from seed over it and got decent to excellent growth and also planted Woodland phlox over it when it was still fresh, that had mixed results.

Hello, from Sweden. I have tried once, but they froze on the balcony... Now I´m on it again. I have gotten some to start growing leaf. But a question, what should I do with my 4 twin acorns tree trunks? Should I cut one of them?

What happened to your foot

This is complete bs. Link states that the loop isn’t included in the replacement latch kit. I’ve got 2 broken loops. Thx for nothing

I live in the UK (USA Zone 9b) and am fortunate enough to live by the sea. I harvest seaweed from the local beach, leave it a few weeks for the rain to wash out the salt, then spread it out together with ripped up cardboard (about 50 / 50). I then just run a lawn mower over it all to shred. This mix, spread about 100mm thick on my beds in autumn improves soil quality and worm population a great deal.

I need some of them pots

Congratulations! Your hard work and dedication paid off plus you have lots of huge watermelons to enjoy at the end of the season. We tried growing zucchinis one year and the vines went everywhere so we haven’t planted any again.

One question: were you saturating the soil each day for those first 7-10 days or just that first watering? Congrats to the Plant Daughter! 👏

What makes a maple free japanese? They grow all over New York in the wild. Would this be a New York Maple?

Ha! I have unwanted Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) seedlings germinating in nearly all of my containerized hardy and subtropical nursery cans, because the resident Eastern Gray Squirrels favor the easily worked mix in these for burying acorns. Overwintering these plants in an unheated porch is effective but unintended stratification. When the seedlings emerge above ground, they already have long taproots.

Are there any chemicals added to the cardboard in its manufacturing process I should be worried about? Like synthetic glues, bleaching agents like chlorine with their dioxins,. What about waxed cardboard is that plastic?

I am 80 years old. I have lived in Pennsylvania, Florida and South American. I have used Miracle Gro for as long as I can remember and found it better than any other plant food. Never had one problem with it or my pets and plants. Impossible to find in South America.

I live in a tropical area and use similarly to how Dr. describes. It works and makes my life easy.

I live in Tn where there is lots of RED Clay I put Cardboard down every Fall and Mulch My leaves and put them on Top By Spring all thats left is the strips of Tape that were on the boxes The worms do not like the tape. Early this Spring I saw a Robin pick up a small chunk of Cardboard Moved it over and was eating my worms. There are lots of worms that live under the cardboard and aerate The soil, My garden is beautiful. I have been using the cardboard 12 years

I remember working with a guy and we spent one whole weekend doing this and and completed about 2500 1-Gallon cans of assorted clippings from hedges, bushes, and other clippings. we started a great nursery for my Boss and he went on for years and years.....

Thanks Bro........This video is explained and demonstrated in a consice, well worded for straight, step by step instructions to complete this essiantial task. Create and sell product with Mother Nature....She makes the Best!!!!

Chitosan is contained in many organic fertilizers and acts as an effector in plants: Chitosan Effects on Plant Systems pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4964372/ and this is only one of the numerous scholarly articles and research papers on the subject. Oligochitosan along with Salicin extract from Willow tree bark are also another effector sometimes used to help eliciting a synergistic response to creating and strengthening pathways of resistance to fungus and insects as well as aiding in nutrient up regulation. How does the multifaceted plant hormone salicylic acid combat disease in plants and are similar mechanisms utilized in humans? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5364617/ gives an interesting context which touches on some of the mentioned subject matter.

I just covered a mostly clay bed with cardboard and leaves. Waiting for the spring. If it is still clay then, I will know why. I have never seen one comment from a person saying they had a bad result with cardboard, though.

Quercus xalapensis and Quercus Calophylla (2 native oak species from the Sierra Norte de Puebla in Mexico), what category do they fall under, as black oak, white oak, or red oak?

This is great, can you do pines or junipers?

If you can’t afford all of the extra plant foods, which one is the most important?

Here in Kittery Maine deer eat my Solomon’s seal like crazy

Would this work on ravenna grass? What time of the year do I trim?

How often / how much do you water outside of the growing season (i.e. fall / winter). Thank you. Very helpful video.

I live in Northern California and I planted 50+ quercus lobatas (valley oak) which is a white oak. Every single one, I just gathered the acorn in fall, and buried them in the ground under about an inch of soil covered with mulch and gave them a good soak. I usually had about a 90% success rate. Then once they popped up I covered them with tree tubes and give them some water in our brutally hot and dry summers about once a month and that usually works until they are old enough to handle the dry summer. I started planting about 4 years ago and most of my trees are about 4-6 feet tall now. Just gotta keep the deer away from them when they pop out of the top of the tubes!

You don’t even need to dig a hole. Just dropping them on ground and leaving them for the winter they will sprout by the thousands. I lived in Grass Valley California for twenty years. Jillions of those oak trees I saw sprout.

I have lots of children playing neighbors lol. Thank you for this video!!!!

Um...put an acorn in the dirt and keep it watered but not too much

Overcup white oak doesn’t grow till spring like the red oaks

Grey and corrugated cardboard is less processed than the cardboard used for shipping boxes. It’s really just pressed wood pulp, dampened, a little fixative added, and baked. More environmentally friendly.

Does the cardboard also attract slugs and snails?
