Thanks for your video.... This is Sabbir Sabbir bin Ashraf form Bangladesh , Department of Agriculture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman science and Technology University.
Clearly, none of the previous commenters have actually undertaken a large scale rehabilitation project. If I am sowing $3000 per acre of native pollinator seed on a weed filled pasture you can bet I will apply a few dollars worth of herbicide.
Clearly, your sense of sense is not in existence. Why would you use herbicide which will kill the very things native wildflowers support; i.e. pollinators?
@@capicuaaa they are taking about using herbicides for site prep not for use once the field is established. An herbicide like roundup has very short residual time. You can plant anything including non roundup ready crops a few days after application.
Herbicide application; are you serious? We are trying to help wildlife by planting wildflowers. Using chemicals such as herbicides completely defeats the purpose and is terrible advise!
Daniela Martins if you only want the weeds to grow, then don’t get rid of them, as you suggest. If you want your new wildflowers to have a chance to take over, you have to get rid of the weeds and an herbicide is the easiest and most effective method since herbicides like Roundup kills weeds to the root so they won’t come back and compete with the flowers for food and sunlight. This is exactly the same reason farmers have to get rid of weeds to grow food. Weeds are so hard to get rid of because they are champions at hoarding all the resources AND create many times more seeds to spread their existence than desireable plants do. If weeds aren’t taken care of thoroughly, they will take over.
This advice is ABSURD! Why on Earth would you use herbicide in a wildflower garden? Actually, why on Earth would you use herbicide, period?! BIG THUMBS DOWN! What a piece of crap this video is, suggesting herbicide use when pollinators and other insects are on the verge of collapse!
What a great video. Visually engaging graphics. Question: what is that last lavender flower at the very end?
Monarda, also known as bee balm. Here are some great choices:

NO POISONS OR TOXINS OF ANY KIND WHEN PLANTING FOR POLLINATORS !!!!!
Brilliant! Thanks - much appreciated…

NEVER USE SYSTEMIC PESTICIDES AND NO MOSQUITO SPRAYING!!!!!

Ken Jackson none of these people have a clue why weeds have to be dealt with. They listen to activists online who spread lies about pesticides.

But weeds technically are wildflowers........dandelions are for example. Just grow them with the weeds, lmao
ILTD5580 you’re right.

So stupid and vile to use chemicals...

No it isn't bad advice; it's pragmatic advice and for large scale projects bigger than your back yard, herbicide usage is the ONLY feasible option.
this is great
