www.blueowlgarden.com/SARE/FNC07-670-07FinalRpt2010.pdf Here’s an study on removing TOH by infecting it with oyster mushrooms. It takes several years, so maybe not practical in a suburban yard. But no pesticides needed!

The NWF banner I earned and displayed so proudly lasted a year. 1 year! For $35 it wasn’t worth it. Just saying. Love your enthusiasm; wish you success. Our garden was first Pollinator Friendly certified and that sign is still standing more than 10 years later. Learned a lot doing it all and am happy with all the wildlife that comes through. Just too many feral cats, squirrels and house sparrows. Never finished learning. 😊

Bat box? I’ve yet to see one that actually houses bats! I’d love to hear a success story.

updates?

Hey Daryl! I love your posts. I’m in zone 7 southern New Jersey. Unfortunately I had to remove many oak trees at the end of their lifecycle. Now I have full sun. I’m in the process of redesigning my backyard.

Hi Daryl, the address listed isn’t pulling anything on your site, and when I use the main menu to go to your resources page there aren’t plant lists there. Looking forward to seeing them once they’re up!

I’d like to request some advice for my particular situation: so far as I can tell, I have the skinniest hell strip anyone has ever had. It is 18” wide; I don’t even think it deserves to be called a park strip 😅 Generally, can I expect a ground cover native to my area to handle the situation or is it all hopeless?

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to gather all of these resources together! I’m totally new to gardening and landscaping, and I’m so excited to implement this around my home.

Really succinct and completely spot on! Everything you need to know. If you listen carefully (or also write down as an action list if you’re a visual learner and can’t just take something in by hearing it!), then work through it, you’ve got exactly what you need. I love the plant pop-ups, too, so I can picture how they go together before capturing them on my paper plan or in my online plant list in a specialist app. Perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I have tried two different brands and one had far less flowers and shorter growth height

Very good info

Found you on tiktoc and just started your TH-cam playlists. I'm obsessed with the content. I love water conservation and the idea of working with native plants. Thank you for the content. I can't wait to implement some of these tips!

Looking forward to the next part!!

Doing my yard in the spring, 75' x 40', where do i get rid of the old grass

Thank you “Master Gardener” so wise lol😂

I'm trying to design a water table for wildlife in the corner of my property

this is great even if I'm not from the us the research into rebate programs is a great idea!

Hey Daryl, Fantastic videos! I remember your permaculture design (I was your instructor) and love that you are changing your front yard design to incorporate a place for people to bring their dogs while waiting for the vet. Super sweet! Hopefully I can find the video where you show your new cottage garden.

Love this series 👏

Also, if you're tying into sprinkler amounts of water pressure (for example my house pressure is 80 psi and there's no pressure regulator on the sprinkler lines) with dripline, get dripline that's rated for (preferably considerably more than) that amount of pressure. The regular Home Depot kind is only rated for 60 psi, and I doubt it can actually handle that. Definitely don't get the blank tubing where you punch in the emitters yourself, which will leak around the edges or blow out. And use only compression fittings, because the others will come apart. And don't use 1/4 inch tubing because none of the 1/4 inch fittings are that strong. I usually use a filter + a 25 psi regulator before my dripline, but there's probably nowhere to put one in a parking strip.

Water it with dripline for 30-60 minutes before digging it out. It's 8,925 times faster than digging out hard, compact soil. You'll be shocked.

I follow you for the awesome info but i gotta say i also love your style, that's an awesome dress!

I do have the corner lot with the two long parkways and bermuda grass, this is going to be such a project. Heading over to see part 2!

So grateful for this series! We’re farther West than you but have a similar park strip… You’ve got me both scheming and daydreaming.

Wearing the same shirt rn nbd

Another good installment to this series. I hand dug out the sod with shovels and every couple square feet would cut it all off and flip it right over where it sat. The roots dry out and there is minimal grass re-growth. There is the problem you mention with the surface level being mounded above the sidewalk surface level and mulch was falling out until I installed some edging. I personally enjoyed capping off my sprinklers too because it made it feel like "yeah these sprinklers are NOT getting used again. No more gallons and gallons of water spilling out onto sidewalks and irrigating ugly, useless grass."

Love!! this is Kill Your Lawn, But Have Your City Pay For It ... @CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt

My hOA would sue me

Totally badass information

Great stuff! Can’t wait to start researching my pocket prairie!

Yess appreciate this nuance!

Thanks for this! We just bought a new house with a Chinese elm and a winged burning bush right at the foundation. I assume this method would work for those as well? Where can I buy high-concentration glyphosate? All the local stores seem to have is lower concentrations.

If anyone is into mushroom logs, this is a great tree to grow mushrooms with!

I have both TOH and Siberian Elm and it is a bad time in my yard. 😢 Unfortunately there are multiple mature Siberian Elms in the neighborhood so they will never truly go away. I did take down the mature TOH in my yard at the end of last year after treatment and now we're working on cleaning up all the seedlings that she dropped. The weather has been hot and muggy which means the TOH really had a party this summer.

Would this work for locust volunteers as well? I've got both of them popping up everywhere in my yard...

Hack and squirt should be followed up in spring with the cut stump? Good advice on the ratio of glyphosate, I don't think I used a powerful enough ratio last year.

America LOL 😅

Great simple idea to help with habitats and insects and don’t need to water the hardy perennials if you choose the seeds correctly

Don't dig up the grass. Too much time or money. Use clean cardboard or contractors paper covered in compost and hardwood mulch. Dig out your holes and plant. I have used this technique for years and never had the turf grass grow back.

I used chipdrop once, and it was mostly all leaves, not a lot of wood chips, and it was very wet and moldy. I still did use it - had to do something with that big mound on my driveway. But after putting in the backyard, my pooch was then scratching constantly, and that was the only thing I could think of that might have caused it. I had also done a $20 tip, and the org that dropped it off then reported to the chipdrop org that plans changed, and it was never dropped off, so no tip needed. I think he knew it was a bad batch. Next time, I'd ask the orgs doing the local city tree prunings every year or two to drop off their load here. They usually do, I think, after the leaves have mostly fallen off. And I can then also see what trees they are actually pruning locally.

Instead of spending money to remove grass sod, why not sheet mulch with cardboard on top of the grass, then top the cardboard with pine needles or free wood chips from ChipDrop? After some decomposition, you can dig a hole in cardboard/mulch to plant whatever you want. Ask neighbors and friends to share cuttings. This doesn’t have to be expensive.

Anyone else feel like this is extremely dystopian?

Comment for engagement!

Kinda unrelated but, do you think you'll do some followup videos on some of the old projects you've done videos about? Just found your channel and I'm interested in seeing how those projects have been progressing and growing!

If Cities Try to help Toxic natures needs Treatment & Lindness Modest prefer to Gifts ?its mean0% Crimes cruelty ? Thanks across the Globe Needed .

Great Idea Ninty Nine Thousand Neborhood Credit Unions You are thinking Next 75 Millions Years to Coming Thanks love to see UTAH .

Oh, this is perfect timing! I've just been YOLO adding plants to my park strip. (The previous owners had just added a weed barrier and small stones to dress it up.)

🤣🤣🤣 omg the bloopers at the end!!

Every time I saw you sitting on the grass in the park strip, all I could think about was dog pee. Your dress is lovely, now go and wash it. 😊
