I wish all lawns were meadows. 🥰

I’m in eastern NC. I’m interested in doing something like this on my 1 acre space. Where is the best place to get seedlings like this in the Triangle or Eastern NC?

Thanks, Basil!

Groundnuts are seriously underrated, it's nice to see them featured in a video on natives!

Wow, Nature is quite nobel

You are home

Great video

I live out in Rutherford County. If y'all want to start a western North Carolina division, give me a holler. I have 10 acres and some equipment to play with. I've started and ran several successful businesses and looking to put my dethatcher, aerator, ATV mounted seed spreader, disc, box blade to work anyway. We can hook up or I'll do it myself like normal, lol. I love your hat brother, it's awesome.

My husband and I just planted some young queen palms and noticed while digging that there's a pipe underneath two of them. We live in a new construction house and so the pipes are new. Should I move the trees or will it be fine?

You likely need to thin it from the inside as well.

Passion fruit and strawberries, wonderful

Name more native trees for Connecticut

Awesome discoveries, EB, thanks for sharing what you’re learning!

Excellent ❤ subscribed

Bruh I was ligit thinking you were making tea to drink. That title is so mis-leading. Can you make a video of composting tea to drink?

Amazing!

Excellent well done video. Packed with useful Trre information.

Thank you. Have you put together any video on how the seedlings develop in the boxes and how/when you take them out?

If people didn't plant trees in stupid places, they would prevent a lot of unnecessary problems. A friend of mine bought a house with a courtyard that had a big tree in it. Incredibly dumb idea. My own house once had a big water oak around 8 feet from the foundation. The people who built my house put three citrus trees 8 feet apart. A citrus tree needs to be 40 feet away from the next tree. I cut them down. I just spent $7500 cutting down about 20 big oaks around my house. Now I will never need hurricane insurance. I'll save thousands every year, and I will never have to worry that a tree will demolish my roof, ruin things no insurance can replace, and drive my family out of my house while I wait for busy post-storm contractors to do repairs. Friend of mine spent months living in a trailer with her three sons, her elderly mother, and three dobermans because somebody didn't cut trees beside her home before a storm. Trees aren't sacred. They're vegetables, like cabbages. If they're in the way, rip them out.

This is such bull sh**! The previous home owners planted trees over our water lines & our neighbors, these trees have grown through (broken) 3 water lines in different spots, I have pictures of the roots growing through & next to the pvc pipes & breaking them. Our plumber told us this is common when a dumb dumb plants trees over water lines.

Thanks for the video, I appreciate it. Where did you purchase the rake and shovel rack?

I love trees.

Thank you for this! Some of my neighbors have the stubborn thought that we shouldn't have trees near the house. I have never in my life seen it become an issue and I have lived in places where there are several trees around the house.

Can I prune when the tree is blooming? Or I need to wait for fall?

When a foundation or pipe is unbroken and uncracked, how will the tree root interact with it?

While you might be correct in tree roots don’t break pipes to enter it they do enter sewer pipes after the water and nutrients. Once inside the pipe they multiply until they cause an issue with the pipe carrying sewage away. In this instance I would say they actually do break the pipe as they expand in the entry point of the pipe, typically a joint, and the pipe breaks. I’ve excavated numerous sewer pipes where this has occurred. When you expose the failed joint many times the root entering it is 1/2” or larger in diameter with thousands of hair size roots inside. Recast assured they was not a 1/2” gap in that joint from construction. Nor was it installed broken.

Headache. I like that. 😆

Great video, thanks!

I love this dude’s energy, his love for trees is infectious

Well said! Many thanks.

so interesting , thank you so much . Bachir from Algeria

I can hear the babies crying :)

Y'all just did that with one of my TALL trees, only the leaning trunk was reduced only about 30% for now. It'll be trimmed again as the energy gets redirected into the straighter trunk.

True words❤

Not my experience. Roots lift foundations and water pipes. The lifted foundations crack and the foundations become uneven. The lifted pipes, if at a connection will break in time.

Is this guy full of it. How many walks are lifting from roots….tree lover leftist

This is the clearest lesson in tree pruning. Thank you.

Dead trees attrack termites and carpenter ants.

i have many trees that some years they dont produce any leaves, like apple tree that deer eats or a peach, but next year it flurishes and some old cherry tree that has no bark on it and it havent when i bought the property but still produces cherries for many years. so just too check signs you really dont need to cut down a tree. observe it for 1 or 2 years

thank-you was going to cut down 2 of our trees bc they are so close to our well ,which we rely on very heavily !!!!!

We have ivy plant all over the yard killing all our trees

Yall need to get rid of this plant its the states fault

Interested in starting

Finally I get an answer to this! Crazy how prevalent the idea that tree roots mirror the canopy is, even among people who know about trees.

Do you recommend spraying anything on top of the cut to seal it?

Very helpful video! I have a poplar tree with peeling bark and ants under the bark. The tree has foliage and no dead limbs. I will continue keeping an eye on it.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Perfection!

So not informative, if I don’t know how can I know the guy who I hired knows
