What is the best hand tool to uproot the new Multiflora Rose seedlings without separating the top from the roots?

Real good job. Know it's an old video but it came up when I searched multi-flora roses cause I was trying to identify the roses my grandma had at her old farmhouse that I inherited. Something I used to be confused about was everyone was saying these are extremely invasive but when I was growing up and even today I have not once seen a single seedling anywhere on or around her peoperty but then I realized it has to be dependent on the deer pressure in any given area. Here at her home in North Carolina the white tailed deer are everywhere and they eat roses like candy so I am assuming that every single seedling from her rosa multiflora that comes up each spring is getting nipped by a deer and dying almost instantly. Don't know about the deer pressure in your area but that might explain why my roses dont seem to be invasive while everyone elses seem to be

Thank you!

I love this video! Thank you for posting. I don’t mulch it - I cut it to size and take to the invasive species pile at the dump. :)

Been removing some large clumps of this rat weed and boy it it nasty. Wear full PPE. And I had great success w an electric chain saw. Thanks for the post.

This came up in my homepage today. Good to see you

This is worthless. He's obviously a government worker

Thank you, lots of videos about Christmas Ferns but only you showed how to plant them.

use BRUSH HOG

Wow this is one of the greatest channels I have come across in some time! You rock! I found this video looking for ways to better identify the different native roses I have in my area. I found what I believe to be Rosa palustris and I fell in love. I wanted to be sure I was identifying it correctly. All of your videos are both entertaining and informative. I love your message and the sincere confidence of your sometimes goofy presentation of knowledge. I'm sad to see it's be so long since your last video, and I'm sorry to catch you so late. I hope you're still around and all is well.

Cut it to the ground and it will be back in a week.

Looks a lot like my property. Where do you start? Between the multiflora rose, oriental bittersweet vines, and even the garlic mustard covering the ground, you can almost never do enough to knock back the invasives 🤦‍♂️

This was so satisfying to watch! I can't wait to get after all the invasive plants that have taken over our new property and do an environmental restoration.

Lol definitely not six-minutes. I have also used hedge trimmers just to get the bulk away so I can get to the trunks. (But also, watch out for its best-friend, Poison Ivy. They are often together.)

I cut it and treat and millions more come up. Neverending.

This stuff is evil. I do trail maintenance for a trail here in New York City - what I typically do is cut it back and let it air dry on a pile of honeysuckle that I cut back. This stuff dries quick. Just keep at it and it will go away.

Theres a beautiful stream that runs through montague city mass...the Audobon takes care of the area..if you go down and cross the small bridge...there is a huge field full of nature and trails..the brook itself is soo clean. i usally get off the bridge and walk up the brook with some old sneakers on and can find some rather sweet little spots to just sit and take sweet nature in...theres a spot where the grass falls over the brook and the water is soo clean...theres a swimming hole just south of the bridge and a few nice spots to enjoy after that...i normally wouldn't share this area since i live in ct. and only nake the trip yearly...but im figuring little to nobody will check this gem of a place out...and anyone who does are most likely nature loving people who were attracted to this guys video to begin with....enjoy if you can...peace 💚🌎

Course I meant ferns!

Great demonstration. Love to see the feens multiply!

You can never find Waldo because he actually wandered into the woods and became a botanist.

This is way too much work for 11 acres. I think fire, chemicals and machinery are a much more efficient process.

I found this video to be incredibly entertaining. I’m planting a 700 yard hedge row with around 400 cedar trees I dug up as baby seedlings on our cattle ranch. Cedar trees are a dominant part of the landscape here in Kansas, so I have no shortage of trees to plant.

My property is infested with Multi Flora Rose. It is quite dangerous when attempting to remove it. Sad. I’m typically organic, but with this I do use a chemical.

Awesome, informative, quirky video! I'll be taking a lot of this and bittersweet off my property!

so using this as mulch doesn't carry the risk of re-spreading the stuff?

Welcome to my town

How did you know which way the fern heads were going to grow?

This video brings up such wonderful memories. That other guy though, I can obviously tell he has no clue what to do in front of the camera.

I park my ATV on top of them and then use my chainsaw. Not a good technique if there are plants in there with them that you want to keep.

This had the same feel as the Primitave Technology channel. Strangely hypnotic. How long did it take to do the full compost rotation?

I liked your video right to the point where you had cut away all the cains. If you really, think you can did them out, or burn them and they won't come back you are kidding yourself. As you were digging the one root ball out you could heard smaller roots breaking off. Those pieces of roots left in the ground will rise again. I would left the root ball in the ground and waited until small sprouts started to reappear (probably the next year). Once leave reappear, spray with a herbicide. My favorite for Multiflora Rose is Cimarron Plus, as it won't hurt the grasses.

Could you give me some information on that machine you are using? I could really use one but can't find it online.

Hey Brian, I have some bittersweet in my area, but I don't know how to tell if it's the exotic or native one. Or should I remove them all?

I didn't know about the bacteria-based and fungal-based soils. does that mean it would be theoretically possible to steer the growth of the land? In other words, could a person, thinking long term, who wants a forest try to build a fungal based soil, whereas a person wanting a medow can try to build up the bacteria-based?

Hi Adam, thank you for commenting. One of the scenes that unfortunately got cut from this video was all about asking nursery owners for native plants. If you have a local nursery that you like ask them to order native plants. A good source of native plants in W. MA is Tripple Brook Farm (2 "p"s in Tripple), or Nasami Farm-New England Wildflower Society's nursery. Both of those locations are searchable on line.

If I don't happen to have a lumber pile nearby, what kind of wood is good for a garden bed? I have been using some cheap pine for the past several years, but it's finally rotting away and needs replacing. Also, when making the cold frame, is there an ideal angle for the cover? Thanks for making your videos, they're both educational and strangly entertaining.

Hello there! If I wanted to plant some of these on my property, where could I find seedlings? Are they common in nurseries? This has some of the most beautiful and wonderful smelling wood that I've seen.

dibble. dibble. dibble.

you know he has been doing this a long time, because he knows the Latin off the top of his head.
