Nice job with your food forest. Please keep us up to updated :)

super cool! very thoughtful and good wild look. also not over the top but replicable for normal humans

that's actually disgusting do you know that has like Pig bacteria in it right you can't see it but it's in there

What variety of pineapple is it?

I broke out just watching this

Funguy

Funjai

fun fact, you were actually holding one leaf made up of three leaflets, the “leaves of three leave it be” saying is still a solid moto to follow though. Also it’s a good idea to learn to identify Jewel weed (it has a few different common names) and how to use it, it grows usually relatively nearby where poison ivy is growing and it’s “sap” is a natural remedy to cut through the oil and neutralize it. It can also be used to help relieve an already existing ivy “rash”.

I've never heard anyone pronounce fungi like that

😢 that's awesome

Hold up. You can touch mycelium? I've never thought of doing that. Need to try that 😅

Love it.

Orchard? That is a back yard garden.

Glomus spp. is a genus of arbuscular endomycorrhizal (AM) fungi that colonize plant roots and form symbiotic relationships with them. These fungi are the largest genus in the phylum Glomeromycota and are an important part of soil in all environments. They are beneficial to plant growth and development by increasing nutrient uptake, especially for slowly diffusing minerals like phosphorus. Glomus spp. are also important for the establishment, productivity, and longevity of natural and man-made ecosystems. These form a larger root zone which inserts its upper ends into the roots of plants like an IV in veins. Very informative articles about this are found in reports from the US Forestry services, Dept. of the Interior, etc. .

I just wanna say that you have been the inspiration for me to make my own backyard garden

Great job!😊

Great job! Love the wood chips!

I love Bergamot and hadn’t thought about growing it! Thank you for the lesson and encouragement my friend!

My dad, the builder always told me not to let plants touch my house because of the moisture isn’t good for wood.

Do NOT listen to this FOOL! That oil being washed off is already TOO LATE! The oil is absorbed into the skin almost instantly. I myself have tried this, but I ALWAYS see blisters after a 7 day period. Others get the blisters INSTANTLY!! Soap and water does not help!!!!

My neighbor and I were talking not long after I moved in to the house I have now. I told him that I had poison ivy along the side of the fence I shared with him and his gf. He said, "Yeah, we got it, too. So does the neighbor to the back, and so do a lot of people on this street." I said, " I don't know how I'm gonna get rid of it. I've never had to deal with it before. I'm scared I'll get it on me." He said, " Don't worry about it. I'm not allergic to it, so it doesn't bother me. I'll come over to take care of it for you." I said, " Okay, I'll let you know." I had to run out into that section of the yard to save my dog from doing something stupid. I didn't even think about what I was getting into until I was ankle deep in it. Well, it turns out that I'm not allergic to it either. I've been over to that part of the yard a lot with no problems. My dogs run through it and bring the residue in on their coats, but I have never broken out. I am so very grateful because there are so many other things wrong with this house that having a poison ivy breakout on top of it might have been more than I could take.

Well done youngun!

Poison ivy VERY frequently grows entwined with Virginia Creeper. You have to look very carefully before you just pull, willy nilly.

Please learn the difference between a leaf and a leaflet.

A curious add-on. Mango is from the same family and has similar oils, if you are allergic to Poison ivy you can also have a similar reaction to fresh mango while cutting and messing with the skin.

I am highly allergic to poison ivy. I got it on my face when I was a kid and it was horrible.

Be mindful that a lot of people who are allergic to poison ivy can also be allergic to virginia creeper. Though that is not considered a poison, lots of people get itchy rashes from it very similar to that of poison ivy. My family are all allergic to both. The rashes from them SUCK!!

Wash with ZANFEL. it's the only product i've EVER used that works. Even Fels-Naptha & Ivy-Rest arent as effective, but they do help, a little. Hand soap does NOT wash the URISOL away. Dont ever burn the vines or leaves, either. IT CAN BE DEADLY

This is genuinely so helpful Everyone always says the ‘leaves of three’ thing but that doesn’t help me because there are multiple plants with three leaves I need more identifying information 😭💀

Be careful there are different types of poison ivy. Those notched leaves are what grew where I grew up. I moved to a different state and got a bad case of poison ivy because I didn't know that there was a smooth leaved variety.

But th0eres a plant that grows alongside of it that actually has an antidote. I've long forgotten the name but you're the eagle scout. You should know this

jewel weed!!!!! it grows in same are. it has pretty little orange flowers

Wash cloths help scrub off the urushiol

One day my yard will look this beautiful 😊

How do you manage ants and mosquitos? I am working on turning my front yard into a wild flower garden and the mosquitos and ants are a problem.

Identification in its winter form is important. The vines have no leaves. But if you pull some vines up you can still get sap and oils on you or your clothes and it can be worse than just touching leaves. Been there done that.

Use fels-naptha soap, clears the oil.

I don't live anywhere with poison ivy, but I enjoy the leaf lesson

I got poison sumac once. It was horrible. I scratched it and it turned into a huge boil. Dad soaped me down with fels naptha soap and rubbed me down with calcimine lotion. Not sure if this is still good advice though.

Waah with dawn dish soap warm but not hot water and gently scrub thuoghly with a wet wash cloth. The dawn and warm water help break up and remove the oils. The wash cloth helps to lift and remove the oils alot better from the groves of your skin vs just scrubing with your hands alone.

Fun fact: not everyone is allergic to poison ivy/oak I am one who is not allergic to it.

Wash with Dawn dish soap, it is good for removing the oil.

My hand would be all swollen after holding it like that.

I’ve never really tested this but noticed that every time I accidentally walk through poison ivy I end up totally fine. No reaction so far. That’s not on purpose! I do notice itching on some plants and burning that can last awhile like when I gather nettle though. And isn’t Virginia Creeper a wild “cure” for poison ivy so long as you aren’t also allergic to that plant as well? I’m pretty sure plantain is as well…an anti-itch plant and that one is good to eat and grows everywhere so chew some up and stick it on. It work so-so (did that once and not sure if I did it wrong, if it’s psychosomatic or just kinda worked).

If i get near it..i get it.😂. ..darn poison ivy 😢

My husband loved to work outside and frequently was exposed to P.I.. After a lot of research and experimentation, he learned scrubbing with a wash cloth with soap and water did just as well as any OTC product.

And the fountain is a mosquito repellent as they won't lay their eggs in moving water. Great job!

Noo the chickens can escape ❤

it has no effect on me, but my brother is highly allergic. Our Mom never got it either, until she got cancer, so now, I rub it on me regularly as kind of a cancer check. I would definitely not recommend anyone else to try that though.

You should also mention that poison ivy might not affect you if youve never had a reaction before but that doesn't mean you will never have a reaction. And the more you touch it the more it, the more likely it is to react
