They are a game changer. I have four of them.
Nice ideas but I really would like to see some video and pictures of what the xeriscape landscaping looks like. Looking at the woman talking doesn't help me with that. Nice to share ideas but there's nothing like seeing examples of xeriscape that would help me. Also super up close pictures of plants and leaves don't help me know what Nice xeriscape landscaping could look like. Overall the videography is lame.
I wish you were my neighbor !!
Do you have a contact in in San Antonio for landscaping?
Thank you sooooo much for existing!!! I will be needing you soon.
I love his philosophy! Found myself nodding to everything he was saying.
1- planning and designing: use of space and how it is used. How you plant, where you plant ia affected by it. 2- Soil type: find out and enrich as needed. Do a soil test. 3- practical turf areas(20-25% of the area). Bermuda grass etc 4- Plants: plants that are adapt to seasonal changes, local nurseries would tell whats suitable what uses how mich water, sun vs shade etc. Check colors, textures, shapes, heoghts( low and high). Make sure you have plants that will bloom during differenr seasons. Edibles are also welcome( raised bed gardens). Check xediscape plant guide online. 5- water efficiency, cycle soak, rainwater catch system. Use rainbarrels. Plant in zones: high water ( closer to your water source), low water further away from your source. 6-Use of mulches: keeps humidity, pine straw, cedar, rocks etc. Make sure the water does not drive them away... 7- appropriate maintennace: for staring until they are settled water as needed. Prune, clean, fertilize, keep insects away, maintain... Lady bugs help get rod of amall insects. 6-

Great concept, but it would be even better with an extended focus on biodiversity as well as climate. The biodiversity you already get by using native plants, but the climate aspect would require that you don't recommend the usage of peat moss and other amendments with a massive climate impact. But very informative and inspirational video! Good job.
Its him.... its Bill Gates
Great video and thank you. As a CC resident I searched "having chickens in backyard in south texas" and your video was the first on the list. Great tips, and I can't wait to start having chickens for eggs and start planting fruits and veggies.
Thanks for sharing! We are glad you were able to gain resources from our video! Reach out if you ever have any questions or visit us every Wednesday 5-8 at the Downtown Farmers Market!
Stay positive, amazing things will happen! 🌟
Sounds like we need to make a road trip to corpus!
👍🇧🇷
Very helpful, thanks!
See I have heard of zero scaping and all those people seem to do is cut down every living thing and say that it saves on water which I know is not true I guess I'll tell them that they were told the wrong thing and to xeriscaped
Yep wanna grow something right here in Corpus. I really appreciate your specific help! Let it Grow It's a Clapton song.
Thanks for this Video, this was really helpful.👍
He’s right on point! Great words of wisdom.
Thank you for sharing, I'd like to xeriscape as well.
Who else here for school bruh
There are 3 types. She is just talking about hot composting - which is fastest. I also do cold composting and anaerobic composting (done inside water). Nature don't have all these rules. Given enough time and the right condition everything will eventually break down. Problem with hit composting is too many rules as what can go in and what cannot.
i want chickens but i two girls
How can we change the rules regarding chickens in my city. (Harlingen, TX)
I live in 30141. I never knew what I was doing at my home had a name. The first summer I lived here my water bill is exceeded $400 per month since we have an irrigation throughout the front yard approximately 3/4 of an acre. Since then I've taken the approach if the plant cannot live without supplemental water in my area then it does not have the right to live in my yard. What I've noticed is that the native species too the southeast and the United States seem to excel in my yard. Even the grass, I have never sewn any seed. I only apply a broad spectrum weed preventer twice a year and the remaining grass that grows is cut at 4 inches. I have no idea what grass is growing in my yard but it definitely is no longer Bermuda. I believe it's a blend of cool and warm season grasses that are probably considered weeds but since it grows so dense it looks like sod. I also minimized the amount of grass by adding a large shrub bed that sways through the middle of the lawn.
Have you ever looked into alternatives for broad-spectrum weed killers? They have such negative impacts overall. Very nice that you’re having success with drought-tolerant gardening.
How does the taste and texture of cactus pears compare to the taste and texture of Bartlett pears?
Absolutely nothing alike
Great idea to have a learning centre. Will suggest to our hort society. Our hort society did a garden but in a private home so was only available for a limited time. We also have to consider altitude as we are 3000 ft and classed as alpine sem-desert. We need to make xeriscaped landscape more appreciated and get rid of mass lawns.
Thanks for posting this! I am a CC resident and needed information cuz I wanted chickens
How do I kill and get rid of grass and weeds where I want to add a succulent garden? Thanks!
What would be good to grow in this drought in a container?
What about grow bags?
can you give address...I wanna visit
Aren't beans nitrogen-fixers for the corn and squash sisters?
I loved this video. He definitely speaks some truths. Thank you for inspiring!
Inspiring. I'm taking a baby step and growing tomatoes, jalapenos, and squash.
Are you still homesteading, since I don't see any new post, I am here in south Texas devine texas
Just found you today! I’m in League City so this info is really helpful. Thank you for making it simple! I over complicate things often so I appreciate you. I am concerned about the wind here. We have a huge back yard with one tree so the wind is constant. Wonder if we could use big potted taller ornamental plants around the garden to block it. So much to learn!
Great job with your system, all in all!
The poop board is a great idea!
Thank you for sharing and reming us to do something with the soil 1st.❤️
I live in Corpus on The Island. but can’t raise them. Would love to buy free range eggs. Know anybody who sells them?
Thank You So Much 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you
I was told a chicken will lay and egg every 26 hours, so if a chicken is laying almost everyday, the eggs will come anytime during the day or night. Typically they will not lay when they are in their night box, but they will then lay right away in the am. The chickens can hold their eggs if they are in danger or not comfortable. But they will keep laying as long as they feel comfortable.
When is best time to start the corn seeds? How do you prepare the ground? I see a tall mound. I'm new to planting so I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
I have 2 hens n 1 rooster n there not laying ?? Any help ?
Nice professional presentation
Chicken manure is the best for veggie gardens. I miss having chickens.
How to apply as a farmer 😊
Do you sell those planter pots?
Gill's has them!
