Sun protection from Farmers Defense. Thanks for watching.

First year or spreading already?

Res used from where? Clearance rack, someone’s yard???? Thx for commenting. Coach.

Depends on where you are at. Hotter drier climate they want a little shade in the hotter parts of the day. Coastal or cooler full sun. A planting hole half again as wide as container, 59/59 mix of native soil and planting mix. Good quality organic starter fertilizer. Like EB Stone. Good luck. Coach.

@@YardCoach Thank you! We're Zone 7b. Looking forward to adjusting the soil. The native soil here is abysmal. It's clay that does not drain and is practically impermeable. The dying lithodora we are replacing are set in a very matured compost mix with bagged soil.

I’ve had the same in the past. Now I have rock, which I have mixed feelings about as well. In my new heads I have bagged mulch which has worked out OK so far. Thx for the comment. Coach.

Hey Santiago, Thanks for the kind words. Wow!!! Ecuador!!! I am humbled here!! Coach.

Absolutely!! Send to the email.

I had to read these two comments 2x just to make sure there wasn’t a hint of sarcasm in them. I hope you benefited from the content in a positive way Stephanie. Thanks for watching. Coach.

@@YardCoach LOL, Coach! No, it was not like Meryl Streep as Anna Wintour in 'The Devil Wears Prada' saying 'Florals in Spring? Groundbreaking.' I was just so happy to hear about planting on slopes which is exactly my problem.

Without seeing it I can only guess. My experience with them is very bright light if indoors and filtered sun in the outdoors. Wilting with wet soil maybe root rot not grubs. How was the planting depth? They can be finicky to change as you are finding out.

Just let it go wild for now. Maybe nip n tuck early Fall. Thx for watching.

@@YardCoach Great! Thank you so much for replying!

We got some as well. High hopes for their future here in zone 4. Hope yours does well too. You can always trim Cr Jenny. Thx for watching and commenting, as always. Coach.

Soapy water solution or Neem Oil spray as a starter. Graduate to more aggressive chems only if necessary.

It gets taller in deep shade and blooms less profuse, but it will grow there. If you can create more filtered sun light it will be more happy.

Thanks for the kind words.

Those are good choices. Coral bells are readily available I don’t know about epimedium or barrenwort vailability except on line. Make some larger than average holes for success insurance. Hardy ferns as well. Good luck.

@YardCoach thank you very much for the reply. This gives me reassurance that I'm on the right path

Hope you got something useful from it. Thx for watching. Coach.

I honestly do not know. But they grow well in deer country in many regions of the country and always seem to be full size. Maybe other commenters or viewers will let us both know.

Not sure. Check depth of plant and make sure it didn’t settle too much in the planting hole resulting in crown rot. Soil Ph should be around 5.5 to 6, well drained soil, beyond that you can send a photo to the email and I can take a visual stab at it. Thanks for watching. Coach.

In zones 9 and lower they will do better. If you are 10 or higher they grow fast but life expectancy is shortened. Probably 20 years or less. Acidify the soil at planting and maintain a 6.0ph+- for best success.

@@YardCoach Thanks

You are a thorough planner I can tell. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching and the comment. Pictures = a 1000 words right? Coach.

Love it..6 Ps. Well done. Thanks for watching. Coach M.

Take 2 ft off of the diameter throw of a sprinkler head. For instance a 12’ pop up space 10’ so you have good head to head coverage. For larger heads for lawns subtract 3’ and space accordingly. Thanks for watching but be nice. You didn’t take the time and effort to create something for everybody not just you.

@@YardCoach Seemed like 24 minutes of PSI but ok thx

Sorry you feel that way. Thanks for watching..

It will depend on what look you desire. A total groundcover? Or spaced for a more individual look with other complimentary plants. Total GC would be 4-5’.

You are right Derek. A 4’ space is best as a transitional area and not a living space. However, many homes are not zero lot line as those are not very popular and certainly don’t have thick walls. Many of the denser surburbia homes have a distance from wall to wall of about 10’ to 16’. With a fence on the property line. I agree that they just don’t make things the way they used to. Thanks for watching and the comment. Coach.

@@YardCoach nah, I'm not sure where you're based out of but the east coast still has plenty of newbuild row houses with 2+ layers of brick separating them, especially in areas with easy access to public transit. The newer ones tend to be uglier imo, but they're still extremely desireable. Even the 'cheap' cities on the Acela corridor like Philly and Baltimore move plenty of dense row houses for well above their local above market average. Their walkability to high speed/high frequency transit makes it easy to live car-free and opens those neighborhoods up to much higher paying job markets like DC and NYC, especially for those able to work on a hybrid basis. I get that it's not even legal in many post-war neighborhoods to build out to the lot lines, but not I'm sure that not everyone living in those houses would sacrifice interior living space for side yards, either. Often times people buy a stick build in the burbs because it's the only path to homeownership that they can afford. As an aside, it's wild to me that suburbanites often think of themselves as being more free than city dwellers, while they can't even subdivide their house or build it all the way out to the lot lines if they're looking to grow their family or add rental income. My wife and I live car-free in Philadelphia (a city with relatively cheap housing) and I work 3 days a week in NYC (the average salary for my job there is 40k/yr higher than here in Philly, plus I get a transit allowance to help cover my commute costs bc it's waaayyyy cheaper for my employer than validating parking in Midtown Manhattan). Overall it's an unbelievable affordability/income/lifestyle hack and I'm surprised more people aren't doing this kind of thing, especially young families. Sure my work commute both ways is an hour and a half with a transfer, but since I'm not driving I spend most of that time watching Netflix/KZfaq, which I would have done in my free time anyways. My suburban in-laws are always complaining about stuff like gas prices, traffic, parking, housing affordability, and we simply can't relate. I literally don't even know the price of gas rn lmao. Because we split time between two major cities, we're never out of options for something fun to do. If for whatever reason we need to leave the Acela corridor (besides taking the train to the airport) I can always rent a car for basically free using travel points I get from all my train rides. Now that's freedom.

I believe it was 8

@@YardCoach ok, thx and what city is this in? I want to know if I can grow crape myrtles

@Townshipgame972 honestly I don’t remember. Best guess was near Northern Mississippi area.

Was this transplant from the ground or a container planting? Transplants from the ground this time of year in the growing season is a high risk affair. Let me know and we can discuss further.

30’ would be an average mature height. Further north in perfect conditions they might get taller but I have never seen them 50’. Mature height is reached around the 15-10 year mark depending on location and conditions. Thx for watching. Coach.

Depends on location. Deer like em so they will clean some. Mower can pick up some. Rake the rest. But we are talking many years down the road.
