@@paulplantu I pick them up on clearance all over the place, they’re pretty nice and cool once they’re wet, and I’ve not had issues with mosquitoes getting past them yet! They’ve pretty much become the default uniform of my kids during the summer tho
Any UPF breathable long sleeve button down shirts. Columbia and wrangler have good ones, but lots of companies make them. Also, wrangler/cathartic style ripstop pants of you have lots of scrub and branches, if not you can wear the lighter weight field pants.
Your hard work is definitely paying off. Property looks better and better. And I definitely get keeping your skin covered doing outside work to prevent getting eaten alive by bugs.
I love your videos. Suggestion... how about trying to propagate all the native plants you already have at your house and then plant them in your property. It'll save you some money and be able to fill up that property quickly 😊
Vitex? There are so many cool natives! Also you can be chop and dropping instead of burning. Also this is your chance to get in swales and berms before you get too far.
Thanks for another enjoyable video. The wildlife area is coming along nicely. I hope you enjoy the Vitex (Chaste Tree) as much as I have. I've had two of them in the Tucson desert for about four years now. They are doing great. The bees, butterflies, and night moths love the flowers. I've even been lucky enough to see bats feeding on them. You and the family stay well. Gary, Tucson
I love your attitude. Definitely check out your local nurseries. I’ve found they have more well adapted plants and trees (especially for fruiting trees) and can often times be cheaper than even the clearance plants at the big box stores. Check out Central Texas Gardner for lots of info on native plant species and chip drop of you are looking for some free mulch (depending on delivery area). Keep up the good work!
you should try getting a Post Hole Digger and Tamping Bar. a long steel digging tool prettty much. your back is gonna thank you and it's more efficient than a pick axe for digging hard ground. enjoying the content.
I just bought my first house and want to the lawn into a native plant yard too. I want to do it by seed since it’s significantly cheaper. You can look up “winter sowing native seeds” and it’s super easy and might help you grow and plant multiple native species to fill your land at a much lower cost. I love your channel and have enjoyed watching you plant native species as I get ready to transform my own space!
Hi Paul . Well done . These plants are going to be amazing and you can plant neem tree that keeps mosquitoes away also laveder .and rosemary. Have a great week .🌿
I just bought lakefront property in east Texas. Would be awesome if you could give me some advice on what types of edible plants to grow. 😊 I love your videos… keep posting! ❤
Property is looking great Paul! I love the Native restoration that you're doing! I'm doing the same on my suburban lot and am documenting it on my channel! What is your end goal for the property? Do you hope open it up to the public? Make it a spot for your family? Would love to hear. Keep it up!
I am going to have to check out the channel! The end goal is to have a small cabin, ponds, tropical fruit greenhouse, and then a ton of habitat for birds, animals, insects, and an orchard too. Soooo a lot hahaha
Great video. I would suggest that you check out powerplanter augers. I think it would be well worth your investment with the number of holes you're going to be digging on your 3 acres.
I know this is an older video so not sure if I'll get a response but trying to clear out some stubborn vines in my yard before planting a wildlife garden. Which is a better weed killer triclopyr or glycophaste. I know Paul uses triclopyr now but wasn't sure if the glycophaste is what failed on him before.
What part of town did you get your acreage in? Also killing it dude - using nothing but hand tools in Houston during the Summer is committed, doing land management, real real hard work y’all.
Tank top?? Hell naw....not unless you want to get water alive by mosquitos. I live in southern Alabama, and that would be a death wash here. Anyway, the best wardrobe is long sleeves in breathable material (linen works). You'll still need some protection from the mosquitos though😅
Im leaving the youtube platform and will no longer watch content here. I hope the content creators that I currently follow here will create their channel on rumble as well so I can continue to follow them there. I personally no longer want to financially support a platform that censors free speech.
Hey Skippy, you've got my attention. You're 40 years my junior, but you are deep-diving into my bucket list. Go man, go!
Looking forward to watching the progress of Paul's future Garden of Eden !
Honestly, those long sleeve fishing shirts are a game changer for me! quick drying, breathable, UV blocking.
Thanks for the tip, I need to grab some for sure

You’ve seen bats feeding on them?! That’s awesome. I hope to build a bat house and see them utilizing the tree! Hope all is well in AZ for ya!!
Love the new plants you planted in your wildlife garden. Looks great. Love watching ❤.

Great work on your Wildlife Rehabilitation Project
Texas weather and environment is something else , can’t wait to see how the plants do
native american seed hat 🥶🥶❄️❄️
Would love to see some milkweed and cone flowers go in for pollinators!
I already have seeded the front but definitely will be adding a lot more as time goes on. I need to get good at staring seed

Gosh, I LOVE this series. It’s so great seeing you go from purchase and starting work! You deserve so many more views!!!!
Just found your channel, and I really appreciate your love for nature and the planet brother 🤘🏼 earned a sub

great hard work dude! Bed looks awesome! 💚
Its nice seeing a local to get inspiration from. Keep up the great work!
This is amazing, thank you for your hard work and commitment to restoration.
Hey Paul, thanks for this. I've been thinking of buying acreage around the west/north Houston for my family and needed this motivation.
Great work , looking much improved. Take breaks & don’t get too hot , you’re doing awesome
Out standing!!!!!🌳🌳🌳
It's not quick and easy, but you should try to attract bats, dragonflies, and swallows to your plot. They're nature's mosquito killers.
thanks Paul!
not a bad start to the entrance. 👍🏾
would be cool to have wetlands and streams mapped out on your property! that's what I do for work
Hi Paul . Well done . These plants are going to be amazing and you can plant neem tree that keeps mosquitoes away also laveder .and rosemary. Have a great week .🌿
Those are the suggestions I need. Haha, there is sitting water after rains but I’ll try anything at this point
The other thing you can look into, Paul, are mosquito buckets. They're easy to make and are low maintenance.
Looka good!
Hell yeah something to watch while I eat 😅
It is too damn hot out here to be doing all that lol. Looking good though, love to see the invasives getting cleared out.
It really is insanely hot but hey a little at a time until the fall/winter
that bed looks like it's been there a while! great job!
Ayyye thank you as always!!

@@paulplantu love it! Can't wait to see
Wonderful Paul! I live south of Houston and am so curious where you decided to buy property. I've been looking around the Cleveland area!
Look into getting a burn permite if uou have to burn 🔥 to encourage native seed to sprout or get a professional to prescribed a burn.
Yeah I may ask the local fire department to do a controlled burn as practice next spring
Go plantdaddy! Did you do horticulture at university? Love the horticultural verbiage and the juxtaposition to thrift wizardry
Great video. I would suggest that you check out powerplanter augers. I think it would be well worth your investment with the number of holes you're going to be digging on your 3 acres.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea especially with the roots and such in the way! Thanks for the suggestion!
❤
I wish I could do this

Hey Skippy, I notice that you rarely, if ever, use soil amendments when you plant stuff. What is your success rate in regrowth of transplants?
Plants some natural herbs like citronella or basil , lemon bawl . A lot of mosquitos and nasty bugs hate the plants .
Strawberries and blueberries
Love the focus on native plants. Garden looks good... but did you water all the stuff you just planted?
Soaked them before planting. Everything should be fine without being babies except the Gaura
Your place is looking great Paul! I was wondering what kind of brush cutter that is, Im going to get one but undecided which one to get
It’s an ego string trimmer but I bought the brush cutter blade kit they have.
@@paulplantu Ok cool! Thanks!
Buy some wrangler long sleeve vented shirts. hardy fabric and vented for the heat.
I found a light weight cabelas ls at the thrift store that’s exactly what I needed. I’ll look into the wrangler shirts too! Thanks for the advice 🙏
@@paulplantuColumbia, wrangler, bass pro, Duluth trading, etc. All good stuff. I wear them for my field work and gardening all the time.
Would love to see arial see
We always trying to get at you sexually. 😅 But, seriously, love your videos! I get really excited to see more videos on the abandoned property.
Looking good. You not worry that when you leave someone come and dig up and take your plants?
If somebody wants the plants that bad they can have em… I’m on a pretty isolated road though so not really concerned about that
Can you post a link to the brush cutter please
Great work but you definitely need to make friends with someone who owns a small dozer. I see a tractor in your future.
How has this spot not absolutely flooded out right now? Screwston stay up.
Tank top?? Hell naw....not unless you want to get water alive by mosquitos. I live in southern Alabama, and that would be a death wash here. Anyway, the best wardrobe is long sleeves in breathable material (linen works). You'll still need some protection from the mosquitos though😅
Gotta find a second hand wood chipper my guy. No more burning!
Earth is my planet, no?
I’d need an expensive chipper to process everything to the point of being worth it. Right now that’s not really in the budget
first lets go
Wear a tanktop next time hotness ❤❤❤
Invest In a bee suit haha
I really may have to wear a full bee keeper mask! Ahahaha
FYI, Vitex is not native and is invasive in much of Texas.
Hopefully.nobody steals those plants right off the roadside..
How the fuck do you memorize and recognize that many plant species??
You 😒🫶🏽👹😫😂👩🏽🍼🍠youka
Mum 😒😫🔥🫢😂👩🏽🍼
