MDC is such a great resource! At 17:43 though, much more control can be achieved if you put Tordon or other cut stump herbicide in a dripper bottle. The spout cap Tordon comes with may be appropriate for tree trunks and the largest bush honeysuckle, but not the lion's share of stems you'll encounter on the average work day. Search online for "benecreat 4 oz twist cap bottles" to see one option. I like to twist the cap open just to the point a bit of pressure is needed to make the fluid come out. I also wrap each bottle in a folded paper towel held on with a rubber band to catch any drips. Tordon needs respect as overuse or misuse can lead to non-target damage.
Tordon rtu has been rebranded as Triumph rtu. Good idea putting it in a spray bottle, the provided bottle can use up a lot of product. The stuff works very well!
I used to ride my bike to the east end of Nelson Island, and I was bummed when a bunch of the bike trail got washed away circa 2017. My main floral associations with it are huge cottonwoods and lots of nettles, though the last time I was there I definitely noticed a lot of wintercreeper and honeysuckle. I've never seen any eagles, but I might have to check it out this winter.
Hi Cydney, Regarding winter birding: Have you thought of doing a joint venture with Mark McKellar of @MarksBackyardBirds. His business is in north KC called Backyard Bird Center. If you are a winter birder, I suspect you already know of him.
I love that you iterate to just start. Start small, reach out to others etc. Don't get stuck, or overwhelmed, just start.
Thank you ❤
Very beautiful ❤️
Spectacular!
👍🙂
I need to figure out what native plants will grow in my area so I can turn my fruit orchard into a lovely place.
Excellent information. Thanks for sharing this.
I wish you had shown the goldenrod in bloom. That is a variety I haven't heard of.
You can see it starting to bloom at 13:36 🌼🐝
Great information. Thanks!
Oh how wonderful!! I want to see more of this!. Congratulations to this couple and their choice that enriches the landscape for all!
One of the best presentations on rain Gardens I've ever seen! Very helpful and excellent resources to follow up with.

I am so glad these are posted on youtube, I often dont have the time to attend! Thanks so much for this!!
What an inspiration. Love to see this. Thank you so much for recording this, I was super bummed that I couldn’t join live.
Your videos are really amazing. All the best in your UA-cam journey.
Your content really is good. I like it.
really good advice here! beautiful garden.
What about the horrible root system? How can you stop that from continuing to grow?
Great video and very helpful
interesting talk. seems to me water is super important in design. how does water flow through. All gardens should be designed to plant the rain first
yes, great video. packed with useful information, love that he talked about so many options and warm vs cool season growers. also great that he actually knows what he is talking about.
Thrilled to see these ephemeral plants in the real spaces they live in. I wonder how many types would live in a wooded area in Kay Co Oklahoma? Thank you !
Interesting to learn more about each species of plant :) it must be so rewarding to be able to be creative with space like that
Best video on how to get started on native plants garden. Thanks so much!
Where did you get the pretty rocks?
Thanks for posting this video. Great information.
Thank you so so so much for this. Our basement flooded twice in a week. This is soooo helpful. Thank you
Lovely yall are cute too❤
How can you be positive on identifying different solidagos? With at least 16 different species in Mo, I have a hard time telling the difference between many of them without counting the stamen.
Hi Deep Roots! Do you still have the resource page with seed mixes, etc.?
Apart from burning prairie would it be a good idea to graze diverse prairie occasionally and randomly with cattle thereby mimicking bison? . I would appreciate an answer from anyone out there . Thanks. Colum Lynch Ireland.
Colum - what's a good email address for you? Your question warrants a much deeper response than can be captured in this space.!
I sure wish Deep Roots could invest in a video camera for these seminars. I love watching these but honestly, I couldn't see much of any of the things they were pointing out because of the camera quality. Maybe there's some group or individual out there with the means to donate one and improve the viewers' experience and provide a more professional image for Deep Roots.
❤
To viewers: about 17 minutes into the video there is a recommendation to plant oaks as "street trees," a suggestion Professor Tallamy introduced a year or so ago. He is a brilliant entomologist, and I respect him immensely, but if everyone decided to follow this advice, it could have sever air quality impacts in high-traffic urban neighborhoods. International research has been focused on the impact trees' chemical respirations (volatile organic compounds or VOCs) can have on air quality. Oaks are one of a handful of species with VOC types and levels that can mingle with automobile exhaust and generate ground level ozone and smog. Children and adults with asthma could be negatively affected as a result. Oaks are a critical keystone species and should be planted, but with care as to their location. An understanding of this issue now can help prevent future air quality problems until our transportation infrastructure is finally able to move away from fossil fuels. Please search for more information. The US Forest Service did an early study of the types and levels of VOC releases among different tree species a decade or so ago.
I Chelsea Chop Ironweed, Joe Pye, monarda fistulosa, New England aster. They are in my small suburban garden in the front yard and it keeps my garden acceptable to neighbors. I also coppice black cherry, sassafras to have these host plants available in a shorter bush form rather than a large tree because I simply can’t plant more than two large trees.
Thank you for a very informative presentation. Love your sense of humour. I am a beginner in Saskatoon and I learned a lot.
It was mentioned in the video about giving the location of Bluebell Valley, but I never saw directions/location how to get here. Can this be posted in the comments please?
Superb presentation and excellent tips! I'm in northeast Massachusetts, and my re-structured minimal-lawn yard has many of the natives mentioned in this webinar, and it's good to find out how to maintain them -- for instance, now I know how to reduce the 12' height of the willow-leaf sunflowers in my front yard! I didn't realize that pruning the tops in May through late June, early July, will not cause the demise of the fall-emerging flowers.
Lost me at Chemical killing.
Love the breakdown by season! Thank you for doing these webinars and for all the help they provide us novice native gardeners.
This is one of the best webinars I've seen that covers the full season and spectrum of native gardening and most of the Q&A are things I've personally dealt with. I've recommended this to my Missouri Master Naturalist chapter and plan on watching the back log of videos. It's really appreciated that full webinars are posted online to watch later, many programs don't offer that and I'm thankful that you do.
I hope at some point you all can invest in microphones for these segments. I ended up turning it off because I couldn't hear half the conversation.
Oh no, compare native plants to a German car 😢
Logging in from North Central IL👍
Great basic video. Easy to understand. Can't wait for the next one!
Glad you liked it!
