- For two years the pagoda dogwoods have lived happily in large containers, but now it's moving day, so we're cleaning up an area to plant them in the landscape.

Pagoda dogwoods my favorite.....you guys and your tongs....you crack me up.
Good Morning Erin, the dogwoods look great, as does that whole area. I have found using several layers of cardboard under the arborist chips kills just about anything. The cardboard will of course decompose after a year or too, but in the meantime really does the job. I've started all my new beds that way in a new home that had weeds for landscaping. Not a weed to be seen in three years. I didn't have anything as invasive as your grass but I bet that would help a lot. You can get tons of free cardboard on facebook marketplace when there are posts for free moving boxes. Really enjoy your videos and your laid back style!
The out-take clip had me cackling!!!
Hahahaha LOVE the ending!! 😂😂😂
Looks very nice, you two!! If you've had the cold, pouring rain and very windy weather like we're having in IL, and it withstood it, your good to go!! 🙌 I don't even want to go outside, here. BRRR
wow the red one is so pretty there!
Omg the best ending 🤣❤️
The end, with Carol from Gardener's World... I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣
Gorgeous!
Ok, I don’t know if others have asked this already, but how is it that you and now I see Mr. Much More Patient also, both garden in sandals?! 😂
A match made in heaven. 🤣 Mostly I just dislike shoes.
Omg so fitting for me to see your video today .. I did exactly the same thing .. cleared out an area fro Virginia creeper and other bad vines had to pull out 2 very large gardenias that were so sucked in big pots.. worked on getting them out for at least 30 min... but now planted and the area looks so much better and think plants will be happier .. they were very root bound! Thanks... funny how we did same chore but of course I had no tractor.. 😝🌺🥂Cheers! So loving my gin n tonic now!!! Judy in Pensacola fl.
The end clip did me in. I don’t always laugh while drinking my coffee. In fact, I NEVER laugh with my coffee. Unless I’m startled to hear Erin “impersonating” Carol Klein, then get the pleasure of watching the mad hunt unfold. That. Was. Brilliant. 👏👏👏
Shall I say my beard was full of coffee when I saw her chasing the pheasant.... And that little dog got me too! 😂😂
I just love Carol Klein!
@@guyjulius8078 SAME! 😂
The end was hilarious!👏👏👏 Love Carol Klein😍🤣🤣🤣
That little old lady at the end of the video was 😂😂
😂 little old lady😂😂😂 I'm guessing you're not from the UK.
That ‘little old lady’ is the delightful Carol Klein, a British gardener and tv presenter. She’s been on Gardener’s World for years, and has had her own shows and specials as well. Do a search on TH-cam and fall down a rabbit hole of great gardening content. 😊
@@samanthaw1419 You guessed correctly. Michigan, USA.
Oh my goodness! That clip of Carol Klein at the end was just perfect! Absolutely love her. 🥰
Omg I haven’t seen a pheasant in years
Both in flip flops! That cracked me up! Thanks for the video! Oh, and I was wondering if you've ever tried a rubber mallet when you're working on getting plants freed from pots? It works for us- just banging on the outside of the pot helps loosen things up.
I will try the rubber mallet next time. Thanks for the tip.
Erin and hubby, please wear proper shoes when doing this type of work!
Totally agree with you on herbicides, and waterways...
So, Mr. Much More Patient also gardens in flip flops! 🤣🤣
Hya erin. Bet you and mr much more patient laughed a lot get the dogwood out😊. And isnt carol kline fantastic shes so passionate. The autumn colour looks fab on those dogwoods. Hope you get your weed situation sorted.
Great video!! I'll be interested to see if you decide to buy, or continue to rent a tractor. Cardboard mulching is such a great way to recover an area! Thanks, Erin!
Hey there, Erin! Loved the video...nice job...and it was such fun to see your other half, y'all make a super cute couple!!
I use the cardboard here in Florida too...does a great job but I top dress it with pine straw cause we get tons of rain and it does not move - float - away like some mulch does. I also like the look and it helps to amend the soil after it breaks down, so we have lots of acid loving plants.
Fun to see the beautiful visitor too, thanks so much for doing this! Love your stuff. Oh, just thought about a lady over the pond that does landscaping in a very formal way and she intentionally plants trees inside pots but she cuts the bottom of the pot out so the roots go down and then she never has to water...but you have to think ahead cause they won't be moved unless you exert a ton of energy with that process...anyway, just thought you might look her up sometime. Cheers and thanks again!
There are Herbicide that are for waterways. The state of FL has to spray floating invasive plants
Kitchen tools to the rescue! I use an old steak knife that my mom bought from a weekly grocery store promotion in the late 1960,s! I stick those free address stickers on the handle yearly so I don’t lose sight of it in the yard/garden as it has a black handle. Wise to rent it and have fun and not waste thinking about the upkeep. Wondering if the rental company might have one of those knife tools….and maybe rental work boots😊u supply the socks! Just don’t want our favorite gardening channel couple to get hurt. Love seeing MMMP! Greatly appreciate not using herbicide mindset!
Goats on the Go are a great option for invasive plants!
I would love to do this, if only for the fun factor.
@@TheImpatientGardener here in MO we have invasive honeysuckle and I really want to do Goats on the Go for both❤️😂❤️
What I really like about the pagoda dogwood is that it is a true 4 season tree that thrives in the woodland garden (i.e. partial shade). But I must say I have been focusing on finding the WStackman in a decent size. Thank you for demonstrating that even without the variegated foliage, these trees are lovely.
love that Kubota!!
Love seeing your projects! Last night I rewatched your videos on dahlia storage so I could be ready for digging mine after our frost. I was so happy to have that information readily available. I used your suggestion and last spring I ordered the colored zip ties so all of my dahlias are labeled and ready for digging. I also used the zip ties for my zinnias so I wouldn’t forget which colors were in my garden as I plan on saving seeds from them.
I've never seen a Pheasant!!!😘😘😘
For us, purchasing a tractor has been so cost effective in the long run. We have used it for so many projects and have purchased so many attachments too. We keep it under a roof we built off of our shed.
Tell him to take the tractor bucket and let the plant roll out a couple times on its side from about six foot
Love the pagoda dogwoods. Trying to figure out where one would fit in my landscape. Love the end clip, too! Lol.
Captain Jack's has an organic product for weeds. Use the higher concentration recommended. Laura on Garden Answer highly recommends it.
Seeing a pheasant is a reminder that you can use color to attract what you want - maybe a tractor? It's a wonderful symbol of good luck and confidence. It's fun to look up the spiritual meanings of visiting creatures! 🦌 🐇 🐦 🐛
Did much more patience recommend never planting a tree in your pots again? My husband would have been snarling all the time it took to remove the tree from the pot.🌺💚🙃
Fellowship of gardening with the kitchen bread knife. 👌🏽👍🏽
I took out two middle size fig shrubs from pots and the whole time kept thinking… can anyone see me. I sure hope not. I must have look ridiculous. I did quite a job on the container. 😂 jumped on it pulled on it, dug into it. (Plastic container) I was exhausted by the time I got them out and dug a hole big enough for the root ball.
That ending is perfect!!! I'm sure we've all had something in our gardens we feel like chasing away, be it weeds or vermin, right? Love it. Thanks.
Morning! Great video. Love what you are doing. Looks really nice. Do you plan to replant the pots with some other large centerpiece plant?
My kind of people… coats, short, flip flops. Here in the PNW (literally upper left corner of Washington State) that is a pretty common “uniform” for us! And love the tree’s new homes!
Was that cardboard you layered in? Have not seen that ever.. Did not hear you mention.
Yeah, I cut it out for brevity. Yes, cardboard can serve as an excellent weed surpressant but it does take a while to break down. Sometimes you can plant in 6 months, but it can be longer. And I should have watered it in before I covered with the wood chips, which I did not.
Such a perfect spot for the dogwoods, they’re striking just on their own. They’ve been on my garden wishlist for awhile now.
(Also the ending lol! 😂😂😂)
I highly recommend a Hori Hori, a Japanese gardening knife. Now that I have one, I don't know how I lived without it. Might have helped you get that tree out of the pot. Great for weeding. Maybe Santa will bring you one!
Second the suggestion of the Hori Hori knife. It is my single most used tool now. From transplanting, to weeding, to bulb planting, to brick prying, it works for me.
Hi Erin. I loved this episode! It had all the elements of an English drama! LMAO Those trees look so at home in their new locations. The wood chips provided a lovely touch and should enrich your soil quite well. Thanks for sharing and providing such great information.
I have been looking into garden torch. Have you tried torching the area?
Good morning, Erin ☕️ Those Dogwood Trees are probably so happy to be in the landscape and look perfect 👌🏻. I too have been using cardboard prior to mulching and it seems to be working! Have a Blessed Day 😊
What a project, you’ll need a vino after that! Carol running after the pheasant was a total delight ❤️
Congratulations on the pheasant visiting your garden. Very few of us get to see a pheasant on our property.
Looks great! Always buy the tool! I planted 350 daffodils by hand without the auger, what was I thinking? My husband came home with an auger I was so happy! 🌸☀️🐝 love how you always give valuable information for all of us to learn!
Erin, How about placing multiple layers of cardboard onto that bank with about 3 layers of new tree bark mulch? I tried that on a problem area and now the weed is GONE!!!OMG!! Then you did what I said 3 minutes later!!!
Hi Erin! OMGolly, removing the Pagoda Dogwood tree from the pots was something else! I checked into that gardening knife and they're kind of expensive, but probably worth it in the long run, especially if you have quite a few pots to do. I plant 2 purple fountain grass and they're root systems are massive and very hard to get out of the pots. The Pagoda Dogwoods look really good where you planted them. It's too bad you have so many invasive weeds and grasses. I hope the cardboard and mulching will help. It's nice to see MMMP helping you. He seemed to enjoy running the equipment. The pheasant was so pretty and I loved the shot at the end. Thank you so much for sharing!
I just went through this as well with some standard hydrangeas and my husband ALSO punched a hole through the pot…🤦🏻♀️ Never fun trying to get them out and into the landscape but you sure feel amazing after it’s done! Now let’s just hope they make it in their new spots! 😰💪🏻
Would cardboard mulching help?
Great demonstration, Erin! Love Pagoda dogwoods. You might try the variegated ' Golden Shadows' Pagoda dogwoods in your containers next year then move them to your new area in 2+ years. I would protect your new trees from the deer you tend to deal with. They seem to prefer any new trees or shrubs ugh. Good luck and Happy New Year!
I still laugh and think its HILARIOUS - Mr. Much more patient !!! Lol - great job as always - tfs
I love that Mr. Much More Patient also works in flip flops! Haha! I get so much grief from friends and family because they are also my preferred shoe….if you can call it a shoe. 🤣 Love your videos! Thanks for all you teach us!
Love it all... would have been a classic if we could have seen YOU run after the pheasant... or the dogs??????
Absolutely you need a tractor. We have His an Hers tractors. The Pagoda Dogwoods are beautiful in the landscape with the chips.
Erin, I finally had enough, trying to deal with the roots of our softwood maple trees, so I broke down and ordered a Root Slayer shovel. It's supposed to arrive on Monday or Tuesday, and I sure hope it's worth the extra cash outlay. I've repurposed plenty of kitchen knives, and other utensils, for use in my garden over the years. That kind of Maple is nothing more than a weed here, and my backyard is overrun by the seedlings, so I figured I may as well give that tool a try.
I absolutely love those Pagoda dogwood trees and they add so much beauty to a landscape!
The Carol Klein/pheasant clip was a fun treat! Thank you for including that clip! ~Margie
The ending too funny! I would try a blowtorch to kill the tops & then possibly Bonide Weed Beater! It's organic weed killer & doesn't hurt the grass
Your not being lazy for digging that hole with that tractor . You were being smart and efficient with it. Look at all the things you got done with it . It sure did make it easy for you turning your compost. You might consider of buying one . One that you can have other attachment. More use . Snowblower, grass cutting . I can see you with one . Look like Mr much more Impatient had fun!
What a beautiful bird and a great pest management assistant
Having been on in a while and I love what you’re doing. The exit clip is hilarious! 👏🏻💕👏🏻
If you were to purchase a tractor all your neighbors and friends would love you even more! Mr. Much More Patient would have a second career, then of course you'll need a trailer and all the other attachments. Better off renting one on the few occasions you'd use it. That's what we figured out.
Be careful with shorts and/or flip flops around the digger, lots of metal bits to catch your flesh when you didn't think it would.
I think there are plant based herbicides that are pretty effective. I don't any name brands offhand, but I've seen videos of people using them, and they really seem to do the trick.
I have a 2 year old Pagoda and it's growing so nicely. I have had to trial a bunch of organic herbicides this year, I found Avenger Organics Weed Killer to work extremely well but it's expensive and doesn't go very far. I got another one marketed for commercial growers called Axxe that does work really well and cost a ton because it's commercial sized but it will make about 30 batches for my small sprayer. I'm really trying not bring out the big guns because I need to spray in larger areas. With the organics, you have to smother them after spraying as it really doesn't get the roots like the chemical killers.
Very interesting report, Sullivan. Thank you for sharing that!
Where I live I have seen trees that look like dogwood flowering. But since here those are called by a different name I’m never sure… But I love those trees!!
I used alfalfa pellets for fertilizer this year. Everything loved it!!
Oh my goodness, that clip at the end! 🤣😂
I had a good laugh when I saw your hubby with flipflops! Both of you! Looks great!
You always give us useful information. Love your videos.
Question...would it have been easier to just cut the bottom off the pot, and put that in the ground?
I’m looking forward to updates on the dogwoods to see how they do in the landscape, I loved them so much in the pots! We live where pheasants are plentiful, they’re a beautiful bird but not very smart as they like to dart out in front of vehicles traveling down the highways.
It all came together beautifully! Good job! 👍
Those tress are going to be so nice in their new home. Must say, I do love me some Carol Klein.!!!
Omg you put Carol in!! That's the greatest!
When they were in the pots How did the dogwoods winter over? Did you move the pots somewhere warm?
Hahaha I love Carol!!!
The dogwood look amazing 😍
I think an aquatic herbicide might work best on that grass.
You need to invest in some stout footwear for gardening in, not beach shoes
That should be beautiful. A real beauty wow. The bird
Gotta love the Carol Kline cameo!
Those pots with lips are beautiful but a pain.
In Illinois it’s Virginia Creeper that drives me nuts! I am forever pulling it out of my garden beds! It has grown over my compost pile .....so now I have to deal with that! I swear it can grow 50 feet overnight!
Oh yeah, that's a bad one!
I would NEVER CONSIDER YOU "LAZY". Renting the tractor was very "Smart". 😃 Sounds like you are on top of the weed issue now. All the best. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. ❤ That pheasant was beautiful. The ending was hilarious 😂.
Gotta watch those cheeky pheasants.
Lol....Erin, love how you added Carol running after that pheasant at the end...priceless!!!! 😆 😆 🤣 😂 God bless
Oh that bird is so neautiful
Love Pagoda dogwoods my very favourite small tree. I have a native dogwood, in my front yard because of zone limitations.
Good luck controlling the grass I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
I enjoy your music choices ♥
Oh, I am so jealous! I would love to see a pheasant but that is extremely unlikely here in the middle of Lexington, KY! Also jealous of that fabulous black soil you have - black gold! So sorry that’s where the invasive grass was. 😏 The pagoda dogwoods look great where you planted them. That clip at the end was hilarious!
Flip-flops?? Hilarious!
Cheeky pheasant 🤣🤣🤣
Ha!!
That bit with Carol Klein- Sooo funny!!! What a perfect clip to add in!!! ❤
Love spending a day with Erin....always fun and educational. I have a Pagoda dogwood, also love the layering and fall colors! The berries get eaten fast in spring!
Never heard of Carol Klein, but now I will look her up on TH-cam. Love the pheasant. Very much a garden ornament!
The dogwoods look really nice there! I use cardboard, too, and it suppresses the weeds for quite a while. I love your compost bins and bought the same frames because of yours. Haven't put them together yet though.😊 I never tire of watching people plant, so thanks for that!
That invasive grass!!! Pretty sure we have that in Chicago area too…My beds were full of it… pleasee do share HOW you stay on top of it next year!
The Sneboer tool is fabulous. It makes a world of difference when repotting.
The pagodas look great although I will miss them in the two pots. Thanks Mr. MMP for pitching in! Erin, I have several kitchen/garden knives from estate sales or thrift stores. I hope Carol gets to see this!!!
Wow! Thank you for pointing out not to put chemicals near water source, which includes storm drains too!
Your videos are so inspiring yet witty as you have a good sense of humor! Beautiful dogwoods too btw!
