Good video on natives. Very disappointed that directions on using herbicides were given to kill plants to plant natives. With so many other methods available, I would discourage any use of herbicides. Goodness you can get some free exercise and pull out the weeds rather than put chemicals on the ground.
Some herbicide treatments call for applying to bark, or injecting which doesn’t affect the ground or any other plants. Buckthorn comes to mind. Much rather do that and then pull it out once mechanically, rather than once a month.
Agree. Listened to another researcher who indicated that as the prairie grasses establish, the invasive like blue grass and weeds like buckthorn eventually are out competed.
One of the best video on native plants on TH-cam.
Thank you. In addition to being interesting, this was a helpful informative presentation.
Great stuff! Phlox and Smoke were two of the few prairie plants I haven't yet incorporated here in SW NH. You sold me on them. Thanks, Lisa!
Very good info. The root blocking with sedges, the spring groundcover, lots of great tips!
Awesome! thank you for the info dude!
Great info Thank You!

Rattlesnake master is related to carrots not yucca. The yuccafolium reference in the Latin name refers to the way the leaves look. Not a yucca/agave.
