Epic Gardening I really appreciate when you take the time to do this! There are some KZfaqrs who take forever to make a point. When there is something specific I am looking for I like being able to zip on to it and get that information quickly. Bravo!

What was the name of that woman you mentioned? You talk so fast I just couldn’t understand you 😊

Jackie Davis it’s Ruth Stout...

Jeannie Scarber oh thank you 😊

Jackie Davis I am glad I could help! There are a lot of KZfaq videos about the Ruth Stout Method- I like the one that has interviews of Ruth. She was a character!

Good idea! I have rodents and I never thought of that!

I've got 2 bunnies and 4 guineapigs, and this is exactly what I do

Are you growing vegetables? I’ve never heard of anyone using “bunny poop” so I’m curious how that would be for my veggies

@@ASMRKay_ I am. Works wonderfully as a fertiliser. And the wood shavings make great mulch

@@ASMRKay_ Rabbit raisins won’t burn your plants. 🐇

oh wow, that's a really good idea that I never would have thought of. I'm sure that everyone who has family members at the cemetery appreciated your work too

@@epicgardening unfortunately we don't have a way if shredding quickly. I've been using gloves and spending free time in the covered porch breaking up by hand. Oh well.

Hi Kevin, I hope you see my message. Will you share your straw source please? I'm in San Diego also. Thanks!

Here's the comment in question: "WHOA ON STRAW - Gotta be super careful about aminopyralids in straw, VERY COMMON IN STRAW and even manure from animals that ate or bedded in straw treated with Grazon by Dow Chemical, which persists in soil for years, it doesn't compost out. It will destroy all broadleaf plants for years, which means pretty much anything that is not grass or corn. See videos by Charles Dowding, David the Good, and Scott Head for more info. Unless you know the grower, and have personally verified that they don't use any herbicides but especially aminopyralids, you're better off using organic hay and dealing with weeds."

How about pea straw?

That's so great. I looked around my area for years, but couldn't find supply. We're a bit rural, but I didn't think it would be that scarce. I was recently fortunate enough to get some mounds that will last me a while, for now. :-)

THanks for this suggestion. I looked into it and date pits, olive pits, and other nut shells also work. Just dry everything out first!

Did u eat the horse?

@@TrollHiddenCave composted it

It depends on the weeds and then stage of the plant's life. We have a spurge in the southwest that seeds in August. They drop seeds when you pull them out and are bad at strangling herbs and young plants.

I get so much junk mail. Now I shred it and use it in my compost.

Glad to hear!

Here too!

Not many give it away for nothing.

good point!!! also glyphosate kills bees and other pollinators!

Glyphosate isn't the problem at all. It's half-life is very short, especially once it hits soil. Those who blame glyphosate are just fear mongers hopping on a bandwagon. The problem is aminopyralid and other pyridine carboxylic acid herbicides. These have extremely long half-lives and even largely survive the digestive system of the animals who graze on the vegetation it is sprayed on (aminopyralids were designed this way becuase it turns the grazing livestock into free labor for herbicide application. A human spread it th einitial time then the animals poop and pee and lay the herbicide on the land again). Also, "Roundup" is no longer glyphosate (except the the purple label super concentrate). Due to unfounded and unscientific glyphosate litigation, they (Bayer) have switched to using triclopyr and other chemicals in the Roundup brand that are 100 times worse for the environment and peoples' health then glyphosate. Be careful when you jump on bandwagons as the drivers of these bandwagons are usually low-IQ rabble-rousers. They just ruined the earth more with their idiocy.

I do that too 😂

I did the same thing and they never showed up perhaps if I waved the Glock around and was a grandma that would have helped

@@TrollHiddenCave 😆 Thankfully (for all) I don’t play the gun card, but I do play the sweet grandma card often. It works like a charm!! If only they knew 😆😆😆

🤣🤣🤣

And in my case : collecting grass chippings in my local park at midnight waking my dog . multitasking 😂

@@agnieszkawierzbicka1957 I go and collect from my neighbor . he gets a clean path to his door and I get a buffet of leaves for my worms. A win win. I even ask my neighbors to give me their grass clippings and left over plums from making their alcoholic drink( legal in my country) .

I thought I was the only one.

ME TO IN THE FALL

Two years later... How did it turn out?

@@FlyingSagittarius, after a year of waiting, nothing ever came of ChipDrop. However, I did see a landscaping company at a gas station with a chipper truck and made a deal with them - got 4 truckloads dropped in my yard for free. If it wasn’t for the mention of ChipDrop in this video, I wouldn’t have thought about an alternative way to get the same thing.

I got chip drop last year and it was great! This is a good time of year to get it sooner rather than later. My shrubs are very happy! I also put chips around my garden to discourage the butter cups... though they will just climb right over it if I'm not careful!

I was looking at chip drop earlier but didn't know if it was good or not so I'm glad to hear people talking about if

If I do that, I always shred so as not to fully smother the ground

Happy earth worms happy plants!

@@treebeard7140 Yes and building rich soil while I watch the plants grow. Been a fan f the old ruth Stout method since her book first came out. YES I am that old.

ana monique Crickey! G'day mate!
