![АЛАУДИНОВ у Скабеевой: эти их ВСУ нас НЕ ДОГОНЯТ 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/an0anqU4WGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Gary, not good to stack your firewood against a 4' fence. Dogs will eventually figure out that you put that there so that they can use it as a ladder 😂. Have a great day 😊.
Absolutely. My dog found out she could easily jump over the fence one winter when there was a snow bank up against it from plowing the driveway. Once she learned that trick she still climbed the fence even after I removed the snow 😅
The plant you said to identify by the fence is Scarlet Sumac. The leaves turn red in the fall ….so pretty in the landscape. Marg Wayler, Lakeland, FL
Yes, those trees are Sumac. They are pretty in the fall but spread like wild fire. They increase by roots under ground.
@@carolsuesamuelson7935 they also can cause a rash like poison ivy/oak etc.
Gary, those young trees are sumac. It is a type of bush poison. There are two types of sumac:
1.) One grows red 'cones' aside from the leaves. Most people don't get a skin reaction from this type.
2.) This 2nd type gets white flower cones. This one you may have to watch yourself around. You should wash the skin that comes in contact with this type. It affects the skin like poison ivy, or poison oak. Very itchy rash.😥
If you do get an itchy rash from either type of sumac poison, using isopropyl rubbing alcohol on it helps dry up the oils, but obviously stings. Benadryl can help block the itching.
Usually by Autumn you should be able to see (on older sumac trees) which type it is by the colour of the cones.
The poison sumac grows mostly only in swamp/marsh. If it grows 3-4 inch red berry cones, it likely safe, (and even edible). If it grows clumps of little round berries, don't touch!
I like to tell everyone about jewelweed salve for poison ivy, burns, but I use it for everything. Mosquito bites are bad for me and this salve works great. Kills the itch. May work on sumac too. We have it here in Tennessee too.
The white ones can kill a dog and livestock if they chew on em. Also u can tell winter is around the corner is when the cones start to fall off and the leaves start to turn a bright red.
And, if I may add, DO NOT BURN the sumac. Or, in case some makes it into a fire by accident, stay well upwind of the fire and smoke, as the smoke can be taken into your lungs, and can be deadly. Any animal needs to be well-clear as well.
It looks great Gary. Coordinate with Anthony next time. The two of you together can knock all that weed eating out in no time and it's not all on just one of you. That's a lot of area you cleared. Be glad when you or Anthony or the four of you together get a tractor with attachments for the 41.36. You need it.
Like I told the other former desert dwellers CRC, that green stuff grows and needs to be maintained weekly to have control over it and eventually grow into grass. Double teaming it with CRC would keep it looking nice and not put so much work onto one family. It looks great Gary!
I had three large fig trees 🌳 along with sixty other fruit trees 🌳 on my former property. My pups really enjoyed laying under the fig trees 🌳 because the temperature underneath the figs trees 🌳 was a lot cooler than any of my other trees 🌳. Microclimate, almost a twenty degree difference.
Our fruit trees 🌳 provided fruit around ten months out of the year. We had early, mid, and late of the same type of fruit. It extended the season for that particular fruit, just a different variety. My kids loved ❤️ being able to go to the grove/orchard or the garden almost daily to get snacks. Something to consider as your homestead continues to flourish.
Blessings to you and your family. 🙏
Gary you should invest in a bush wacker It’s like a weed trimmer but instead of string it has a circular saw blade on it with a harness and a U shape handle bars. Super fast
I agree, I used a still fs80 scrub cutter with metal blades to clear scrubby areas near my house. That thing was reliable and efficient. I covered about 2 acres doing that. It reduces the fire fuel load and didn’t damage the friable soil in the process. I mulched the debris so wasted nothing. I got tired after a while. Eventually got an old tractor, built a slasher and it did the job much easier
HEY GARY WHATS UP, I THINK MAYBE YOU AND ANTHONY AND YOU'RE WIFES SHOULD TALK ABOUT SELLING YOUR TRAILERS YOU'RE NOT USEING AND COMBINE THE MONEY AND BY A RIDENG MOWER WITH BUSH ATTACHMENT. JUST A THOUGHT. OR THE MR DOCTOR I THINK THAT SELLS BUSH HAND GAS MOWER. OR REACH OUT TO DR MOWER AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET A CALABORATION WITH THEM.
Great job Gary. Looks good. Should stay that way for a while with everything slowing down. The weeds and grass I mean. Beautiful piece of property. You are so lucky. Thanks for sharing. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GARY YOU NEED A TRACTOR WITH A MOWER ON IT. THIS WILL CUT DOWN FASTER. GREAT JOB.
Gary! how on earth did you think you could get such a huge job done in one day?....You did a great job just try not to beat yourself up anybody would find that hard to do unless they have a zero turn etc. Wishing you and your family all the best x
You did a really good job cleaning the yard Gary and I’m really glad you stopped when you started to get too tired and overheating. Take it easy and be safe. ❤
Welcome to the jungle!!! I have about a 1/2 acre in TN, I’m 70 yo lady who loves yard work, but it took me three days last week to get it all done (I only have a battery push mower so can only go as long as batteries last!) . Good job filming all by yourself 👍👏
You are doing a great job gary and i am praying for mal and all of you to get feeling better soon love you all
First off... You were one of the channels that inspired us to tackle @donleycove this year... (Which btw, thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts, since it led to my wife's discovery of some bad stuff inside her that had to come out... long story for another time), but... we started off clearing the land with just a weed eater, and then went to the brush blade. But one of the items that was just awesome was the walk behind weed eater. It ate through some of that brush you were cutting with your weed eater with no problem. The only thing that was bad was when it hit saplings, it had issue and the line would break... would just follow up then with the brush blade and all nice and clean. So, long story short... look into a walk behind weed eater. Easier on the back... and again, thank you so much for your videos! Really, has affected our lives more than you would know from this post.
My dad had a Sickle Bar Mower one you walk behind not a tractor attachment that I used a few times and it really took down the tall stuff. Plus it was really quick. I preferred it to the lawn mower even though it didn't get as close to the ground as the lawn mower.
So how bad was the vibration of that sickle mower. I revived an old villagers and that thing made my hands numb with vibration. Newer ones won’t be so bad.
@@paulvanhouts3365 I was in my 20's. Dad didn't let me operate much back then, but it was great and I loved using it. It was great, easy, I loved it. His restrictions for my safety let me know he thought it was fully safe. I was never allowed to chop wood by him. I actually learned how to chop wood in Switzerland in 1974 & I chopped everything except the ones with knots of the woman I had met on the plane (American writer).
Taking care the a big property is a never ending job. You have it looking so much better.
Enjoy watching your solo videos working the 41.36 - maybe start your own channel? Can’t wait till you and Anthony get a tractor with attachments to further the land maintenance.
Naw, no solo channel (at least right now). Mel does all the computer work to make these videos happen. 2 channels is enough for us. Thanks for the kudos tho✌️😂
@@SimpleLifeReclaimed all good 👍 have you and Abe been catching fish in the pond? God bless!
Yeah we catch some but they're mostly Crappies. We catch and release for fun 😀
You did an AWESOME job Gary! 👏👍
Hi Gary the yard looks good with a little tidy up. Love your new Dewalt chain saw!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Fantastic job Garry!!!Looks like one day your gonna need to invest in a sit down mower.It’s a jungle out there!😂Great work.Hope Mel and the family are well.
Thanks 👍Anthony has one but this stuff is so tall it doesnt really work. It just lays the sticks down and rips the leaves off it.
@@SimpleLifeReclaimed 😂😂😂😂😂😂Fair enough!
Great job Gary on clearing the weeds. They sure dont take long to grow fast. Couple good rains. Stay cool & hydrated.
I wish you and Mel would slow your pace in the hot summer so you don't get heat stroke it could kill you both. Be ever so careful.
You both are very hard works and everything looks so good when your done. ❤ but neither can do the stuff with out the other one. Pluse you have to think of the children ❤
Maybe you ought to get a rugged pull behind mower attachment for your ATV. For along the road and HIGH WEEDS!!!
Great video! You are a consistently hard worker with a fantastic attitude! Enjoyable video!!
Here are some apps I think you could use 1. Plant identifier, 2. Snake identifier. I use these all of the time. 😊
That sapling looks like some kinda mountain ash. Then again I'm from Ireland.... but thats what it looks like to me..... Love your channel, best of luck to you , Mel and kids. Much love to you all.
Your property is beautiful, can't say it enough! Alot of work, but I'm sure it's worth it!
That electric pole saw you have is neat. I had a gas powered one I used to trim a probably 40 foot tall tree with the help of the extended handle and a 12 foot ladder. Then sadly someone stole it out of my house.
I feel ur pain Gary. I've been working on my backyard 4 mornings now. I hadn't touches it in 2 mo ths either. Just too hot for me. But I'm motivates and determined to get my yards clean again. I know you wil get 'er done. 😊
Looking Good Gary, you are such a hard worker . ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
I saw a add on a weedeater head that was Wire wheel better than string safer than a blade ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
Maybe ask for a tractor with plow on the back to cut your large property.
Looks like a type of Sumac. I love yard cleanup videos!
Time for the Ventrac brush mower! 😜 You did a lot of work out there with small tools, Gary 🙌🏼🙌🏼
That Ventrac is awesome brush cutter and mower!
There is a weed eater that you push like a lawn mower. Works great
They are so silly puppies lol love your videos Gray you are doing a great job doing videos Gray. Great job. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!!!
@@SimpleLifeReclaimed you are so welcome.
You have a lot of 'open ground' within your compound. Have you considered seeding parts with native wildflowers?
I am on only about 7 acres, but about 1.5 acres was previously in grass alone, at the access side of the property, which is where our home is. Doing our 'yard' usually takes about 1.5 to 2 days of collecting limbs and branches, mowing, edging and trimming, weeding, and extra time if I need to mulch, etc. So, I looking for an alternative. This has been a few years of consideration and research.
Finally, I came upon an article about modern 'meadows' buried down in info on 'cover crops', no-till farming, and returning tracts of land to natural progression, and cultivation of our micro-biomes around our homes, temperature mitigation, and water retention/conservation.
With developing 'wildflower meadows' in mind, I then found 'local'/regional experts (non-governmental) who work for preservation of native wildflowers, and found sources who sell these mixed seeds for meadows, or larger 'beds'. These mixes will provide 3-season color, are rarely mowed, and do not need to have a weed-eater used on them, other than perhaps to trim the borders periodically. If anything, a spring mowing (no scalping, but high cuts) leaving most clippings in place. Do not use these clippings for composting as the seeds will go along with the 'green', which you do want for composting.
These wildflowers are mostly perennials, so will keep coming back each year, as long as they have a friendly environment. You can find different types, such as for sun or shady areas, and I have even seen mixes for rocky soils. Unless you have drought, which will require some additional watering, the maintenance of these wildflower beds/meadows is minimal.
They are also great sources for cut flowers, growing and harvesting medicinal plants, and very nice sources of food for wildlife, including honey bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, other small birds, and larger mammals, from rabbits to deer, if the area is open [unfenced]. You can also scatter these seeds somewhat 'randomly' to give bright spots of color and 'beauty spots'. Some mixes recommend fall planting so the seeds have a freeze cycle to ensure better proliferation in the spring.
And, finally, you can cultivate the feed for your animals, as you noted in the case of pulling up certain plants to give to your chickens. But perhaps the best news is that you can add other species to your seed mixes, or scatter packets of other compatible flowers and plants to fit your own preferences, and you can even create 'hot spots' of specific colors, such as sowing red poppies in some given shape and size, as well as having reds in the general mix of the meadow area.
Sorry for so long a 'comment'.
May you all be well, happy, and at peace.
Lookin good but a lot of work. Weed walkers are great! Pups are a good warning system!
That’s a massive amount of weeds. Great job!
Fantastic job Gary 👍🏆 I hope you enjoy your shower and meal and get your feet up cause you sure earned it, sending Big 🤗 to you all ❤
Looking Fantastic Gary ❤❤
Gary, you need to invest in a walk-behind weed wacker. It will make your life so much easier and more time you can spend working on other things. You can also rotate your chickens around the yard so they eat all of the weeds. or get some goats and they will eat it too. The neighborhood I live in has a farm that is operated by an HOA and they move their goats around to eat all of the vegetation.
When the kids get get done with the swing set. You can use it as a bean and pe peas to grow them as you walk inside to pick them..
Gary, you are doing such a great job ❤❤❤
Awe your doing such a great job fam the property is coming along.
Wow!! That is a lot of work!! Good Job!! Have a Great Weekend!! 😊🌻
With that much property you might seriously think about a sit down or stand up mower. Love your show!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
JudithB Its a constant job cutting weeds, but worth the effort!! I got to reload my weed whacker! I think that tree is Sassafras and it sends out roots everywhere to make sprouts. I got some stump killer this year, so it kills the sprouts, other wise it comes back quickly. I want a limb cutter to limb up my trees around the place, so I dont have to duck while mowing and hanging down over the driveway scratching my truck!!
If you have an old box spring you can pull behind the atv or side by side it works great for maintaining roads.. levels grass and cutting weeds down
Gary, those trees are Sumac. Very evasive and the red fuzzy flower is posionous! Ask me how I know. Garlon 4 in oil is the only way I have found to get rid of them for good. Good luck
We got a walk behind one love it for the weeds when we let them grow to big. I'll have to try that wire on it. Thanks yall hope you can tackle that wow that's a big tasks!
What is a walk behind one?! Sounds like something we need!
Look up a push weed eater
They are beasts!
Thanks Guys!!! @@Itsallgrady
I used to use a walk behind weed eater in my woods and it did great, get the head with the blade that spins with wings on it, it’s better than the string type!
A self-propelled push mower would be perfect for those areas. :)
Gary you are making the property look better but man that's some hard work for you and the weed eater.
You sure made it look good everywhere that you could.
Good job. Bet you'll sleep good.
The property looks great, Gary! Good work.
A tractor and a cycle mower would work great on those weeds
Here in Illinois you have to mow every week weeds grow as fast as grass the more property you have the more work keeping it looking good
You guys are an awesome family I really enjoyed the video I hope Mel gets well soon
Good job, Gary!!!😊🎉❤ Take a break and Hydrate.
Gary cutting that small tree down it will grow back unless u dig the roots up, as long as the roots r underground and alive it will grow back
Yes, im sure its lot work! Good job thus far, but don't overdo it! There's always another day!❤
You could put weed killer on the weeds .I mixed up Morton salt white vinegar, an dawn dish soap. It works.the amount you can ask Google
The measurements of salt vinegar an dawn dish soap.
Gary you knocked out alot of weeds. You did great😊
good job gary and i hope the lady wife is feeling better.
The yard looks great 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It looks nice since you cleaned it all up.
Boy you got alot done Gary - looks nice!!!
PUSH MOWER might go faster.
That's what I use. And a weedeater
Hey Gary, you should put rocks around the doggie pool. That would keep the water clean for longer.😊
Indoor/outdoor carpet would be better and use ground staples to secure it down.
The berries are good to make a tea, high in vitamin C. It is a little tart, so its like lemon aid, add sugar.
Gary you sure made the place look better. The weeds should stop growing so fast now. It will be easier to keep it up when you get that riding mower! Someday, but you put that weed Wacker to work in the meantime. You have a beautiful place, but it is a lot of work. So worth though.
Dang you are a hard working Man! You need lots of grass seed and an industrial strength mower for that property.
We enjoyed watching! 😊
Hey Gary, according to the Plantin app plant identifier, that plant is called three-thorn-acacia
Great job on the yard Gary!
garry get 2 goats they will keep grass down saves you from doing it but you have to get them goat feed as well
Time to invest in a riding mower for the big open areas. Since it’s the end of the season they should be on sale in your area so they don’t have to winter store them.
It's Wild August. Things are a jungle but in another month or so cool weather will weed eat for you. Next year do property clean in spring clean and stay on top of doing a bit of the worst each week. So it never gets that overgrown in August if you don't want the jungle for a month
Looking good, Gary. I bet that shower felt good.
Seen a a guy adapt his weed cord adapted to use havy duty cable ties
Worked a treat
I LOVE YARD WORK
Tree of Heaven aka chinese sumac aka paradise tree aka ghetto palm.
I guess I didn't know ya'll had 6 doggies! Maybe it's already on the to-do list but I'd definitely find a designated spot for the dogs and fence in for them. It'll be hard to to get a nice green lawn with 6 doggies! Only my opinion guys not trying to be one of those people! Lol, it's your place and your dogs! Keep up the awesome work! 🇺🇲💯✌
2 of them (the pups) could be trained as Livestock Guardian Dogs.
Get you a torch like c’mon homestead uses to burn his siding an hit the weed and such in the rock areas where you don’t want things to grow. You just have to torch it till it kinda burns or wilts real hard and it will die off. Did this in areas where you couldn’t use weed eater or weed killer. It works well and only needs to be done every so often.
that looks like a tree of heaven, if it is they grow very agressively
NEVER toss metal!! Store it til you have a truckload & scrap it. Every little bit helps
You asked about the mini trees
Sumac
Some uses for food
Some varieties poison.
Grows by rysome so it will spread and grow back
Good video Gary! I like your solo content! You got a lot done but boy, so much left to do.
Thanks 👍
U need a hedge trimmer attachment for your pole saw. That would do the job on those tall thick weeds 👍
Hey Mr. Gardner Gary... when you need to identify something, specially plants, do you know that your "Google View" on
your phone can identify it? Yeah it's on the search box on your phones home screen. just touch the little camera icon
and point the phone at whatever your trying to identify and a moment later it will show you a picture of the plant or thing
you need info about. It will give you the common name as well as the botanical name. I've used it many times when I
don't know the name of a plant. I give my sister-in-law credit for showing me how to use it and now I can share this with
you in finding out the name of the plant you cut down in this video. Make sure when you do use the app that you get a
clear crisp view of the plants leaves and or flower to help identify the particular plant. It also works wonderful on many
house plants. Enjoy..... gardnerwilson Me southern AZ.
😛😛😛🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gary you were on one !!!! Chicken feed get the kids to collect and distribute !!
Throw away that brush cutting blade and put a carbide tip skil saw blade on. I cleared 3 acres of brush and trees up to 6 inches in diameter with ease!
The twine you use on your weed-trimmer looks like the 'Ugly Line' I use from Lowe's. Good stuff!
I believe they are Sumac’s trees. We have them here in The Eastern Panhandle of WV.
Looks good
I feel your pain. I have been doing the same on my property.
Really looks nice!
Thank you 👍
Even with the weeds it's a beautiful spot you live in. Stay safe.
Don’t use a weedwacker go out and buy an Allan Scythe which may go by a different name in the USA but it’s an engine that drive two 14” wheels and like a hedge trimmer one steroids the blade has about 4” between the teeth and has about a 2” cutting bite the comb of the blade is about 4” long prongs and the blade cuts a 36” wide path. These are made for cutting what you have being weed whacking but a lot faster it will cut it at a walking pace with no effort and it lays down as soon as it is cut so it’s easy to collect or leave but if it’s tall grass you’re cutting you could collect once dry as hay for your animals. The only thing is as you may have gathered they are dangerous and will cut a hand off as quick as you can blink as no kids around when using it please.😊😊
Yardwork. It's one of those jobs that has to be done and when you finally get it done you can look around and see how nice everything looks. Maybe someday once you get your cabin and garage done you can get some equipment to help you make things a lot easier for you and it won't require an all day chore to get it done. Have a great day. I enjoyed your video and smashed that thumbs up button.
Yes, a large property comes with a lot of weed eating! Unfortunately! 😂😊. Love your journey guys! 😊😊🤗🤗🤗🤗
It looks great
I have a question for you Gary. Instead of weeding the weeds. Can you just try to tear them out of the ground so they can't regrow again. I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
