Question...After dropping the cloves into the holes in the soil, did you backfill with the soil or simply add the straw mulch on top?

Excellent presentation!

Thanks for the content

Excellent presentation!

This was an excellent presentation! Many takeaways for me including let the leaves stay in your garden this fall and don’t mess around too much with your garden in spring until the dandelions are blooming (50 degrees) thank you

I love this plant.

Wait it cut out. Where are they taking it?!?!!?!!?

This was great! Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you!!!

Great information thanks

Good comment about how you see beauty changed when you got to know native plants.

How early can lily bloom?

Dear Kindred Spirit, fighting the good fight, thank you so much...the work I have done, barberry, giant hogweed, creeping jenny (tiny terror), Japanese Knotweed, Rosa multiflora, etc. etc. We don't EVER move invasive species from the site. We compost in place for the reasons you spoke of, but also, consider that these plants have extracted (stolen) nutrients from the soil. We do pile (or bag if seeding) until we are sure everything is dead, dead, dead, sometimes using black EDPM for frying the plants if sunny. I am in Nova Scotia, if you ever feel like visiting, you'd be treated like royalty (and no, I would not ask you to work, lol). Cheryl, you are awesome! Thank you. I know you get your thanks from seeing the native plants growing, and all kinds of what I call ecological blessings, but this is one human who has been fighting, and writing, and waiting for people to listen for 30 years (grew up in Florida). you can find me easily on the internet.

Excellent presentation on an important topic.

As a native gardener, I love and totally concur with his list of favorite native perennials for pollinators. However, science does not support his rant about not treating ash trees. Emamectin benzoate injection does not significantly impact cicadas or katydids or bees. Neonicotinoid drenches, however, will kill anything and everything.

Lily of The Valley is from Europe. What is the species name of what he’s saying is native?

So informative thank you! I’m gardening in Chicago and this gave me the info I needed to convert my parkway turf into a bioswale!

Excellent accessible content. Thank you for sharing this.

Can these be grown year-round indoors?

Some questions for Russ Henry. You use red wiggler worms, are those the same as the invasive jumping worms? Also, what fescue is actually native in Minnesota that we find in the fescue mixes? You mentioned that fescues are native to Minnesota. I would love to find those for my yard. I put in a low grow no mow mix from MNL but was told it was not actually native but good since it requires so little mowing and looks cool when it flops over. Where did you get the evidence for your statements on glyphosate treated soil? Is this just your individual observation using your microscope or can you point to the published science for me? I would love to get that information. Also, why do you use Waypoint lab for your analysis instead of the University of MN. what advantages did you get from Waypoint over the U of MN? Where did you get all your knowledge, did you start out as a biologist/ chemist/ soil scientist etc. Just interested in how people get into doing what they do. Also, creeping charlie is not considered beneficial to bees anymore. The research was done at the University of Minnesota and is known as the lucky strike plant since once it gets pollinated it turns off nectar production but the bees keep trying to get more nectar and it is a net loss for the bumble bees especially. Ian Lane from the U of MN was the principle researcher on that. Those predator species you mentioned, are they native to Minnesota? The non native lady beetle and non native praying mantis has become a problem and is overtaking and displacing our native lady beetles and praying mantis creating an ecosystem imbalance much like Japanese beetles do. Why not suggest plants that attract our native wasps like Rattlesnakemaster ( native a little south of here) or swamp milkweed? I hope Russ will answer my questions. I missed his live presentation. Minnehaha Falls redid a yard from lawn to native pollinator using bee lawns as pathways in summer of 2022. I will look forward to seeing how this project matures. Thank you Russ! There was lots of great information in your presentation and I look forward to your response.

Would love to see an episode on MN native shrubs!

You guys should do a native shrubs webinar!

this was great! I grew garlic for the first time this year, and looking forward to my second harvest next summer! I planted twice as much.

I wonder if you know of an allium called Magic and could speak about it. Please

Thank you for making it so simple and so quick to find the info I needed!

I have something that looks exactly like what you have, but the plant label said false blue indigo. What is the difference? Thanks!

Great webinar. Would love to talk to this guy about landscaping ideas for my property, however I don't want to waste his time since I would DIY it. I need more yard to plant more plants!

Thank you! Much love from the Philippines 😊🙏

I watched this for info on fertilizing and foliar spray. very weak on these points. MKP application and timing is very important to boost yield, also seaweed extract, fulvic acid. your info here is lacking

Awesome informative video that I wish every kid in school needs to watch! Thank You

Was looking more on the effect of Rudbeckia to North American environments areas by growing this. In urban areas, does this plant have a high helpful impact on native insects? Since this is so easy to grow, would mass plantings of this species be worth the minimal trouble it is to grow this everywhere?

A beautiful video! Thanks for sharing!

Can I get the handouts? This has been very informative. thank you.

I would say add more info on how and WHEN to fertilize strawberrys in different planting formats

So thankful for this video ad I’m a notetaker and can pause and write notes on this valuable information.

It’s shameful that the invasive species are not banned.

Great presentation.

No, since edible means safe or fit for consumption, by definition not all mushrooms are edible. On the other hand taste doesn't by necessity involve ingestion so even deadly mushrooms can be safely tasted numerous times with no ill effects as long as it is spit out not swallowed. Your statement is completely backwards.

Salvia coccinea reseeds freely in GA

Rosemary shrub blooms in late winter here in GA. Probably never going to happen in MN

Excellent information. Have you written a book on alliums? I didn't know some had fibrous roots. Three years ago I purchased 5 pots of Millenium 50% off and planted them. They have done very well in my sandy soil. I now want to plant an allium garden. Right now they are covered with my honey bees and small bumble bees.

Are there restrictions concerning the size of the pot?

Removing faded flowers will prevent you from getting fruit and seeds, which you may want.

I think the patent is about propagating and selling them,not propagating and just using the new plant for your use.
