Would love an update on how the plants are doing today
Totally digging this video. More people should be planting natives in their gardens.
Kudos for the Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Proutklarton Protecting Aqua Plan (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for getting prepared for a mega drought minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got astronomical success with it.
Grass sucks. hats off to you for supporting native landscapes! Would have been nice to see what the project looked like after a couple of years growth. I find these kinds of videos always fall short of being effective / convincing if they don't show a mature garden.
The guy building the manifold for the irrigation system sounds like our plumber Gus.
Love this video👍✌🙏 good hard working honest folks
Mushroom compost is awesome, and they usually give it away for free! I've gone through 150 cu yards on my property and only had to pay the dump truck driver to deliver it. The water retention of the soil where I've composted is easily 3-4x better than the native soil, meaning I water about 1/4 as often.
awesome work ! need to see some after pics, polka music is outstanding!!!
Many of you have asked about how the garden looks today. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/Hbpx7hyzguI/v-deo.html
The cost was about $5000 for plants, irrigation amendments and labor. I could have done without the irrigation.
It leaked so often, I just pulled out most of it. Many plants rely on our natural water. I water the buckwheats once
a moth in the summer to keep them greenish. Never water the Manzanita, Elderberry or Gooseberry/
Santa Clara County, CA offers rebates for removing a lawn.
This is great!!
Great choice in music x)
Great video! I wish I could use you guys, but i'm in So Cal. Do you know anyone down here I can turn to? We have a residential property that is a big corner lot and hard to visualize a drought tolerant landscape. Thanks!
Great video! Where did you dispose of the sod that you cut out? I want to do this for my lawn, but I don’t know where to dispose the waste.
Is it possible to add costs, where to purchase material (hopefully not Amazon) please?😭
Yeah, sorry I am not feeling it, one good rain all of the mulch will be in the gutter, yeah it rains a lot there.
i would like to do this for my lawn but am unsure if my city would even allow it. What is the cost of such a project?
How much does something like this cost for?
Whats its look like 6 years later

Um was that the finished look? It looked better with the patchy grass 😂
yeah they put about 9 heucheras and a few bunch grasses in. Did all that work and then had terrible plant selection.
I really like your video. please watch Doug Tallamy's video (with the jaguar) and you will be even happier to be planting Native Plants.. it's so awesome and the wildlife needs us to because butterflies are very specific where they lay their eggs, and mama birds only feed the baby birds catapillers. They really us to not plant and the japonicas and non natives, but rather to Plant Natives. :) Thanks
Barbara Russell thanks for your comment, I viewed Doug‘s presentations and thought they were excellent. However I could not find the one on the Jaguar.
Invest heavily in weed killer. The grass will keep trying to come back.
Why would you use soil amendments and organic matter for native plants that have adapted to "poor" conditions. Natives also hate drip. It may give them a boost in life to start, but it will end up making the natives very weak and unable the intense conditions it evolved for
Live442 good points! Not sure about amendments, but could have skipped the drip. Never use it. All the advice I get says over-watering will cause most damage--especially on manzanita. The California Fuchsia and Buckwheat are absolutely thriving in hot dry weather--huge, healthy and blooming profusley.
Yeah I wondered about that too. I've been told no amendments whatsoever and it's worked so far, six months in hot southern California..
Just because a plant can survive with less water/organic matter doesn't mean it will do it's best like that. Overwatering is a problem for sure, but having soil that retains water well and doing infrequent, deep watering is great for most plants - drought tolerant natives included.
@@chipcurry How's your native garden now? Can you do an update about what you like and don't like about it?

so is it against the law to bring native Californian plants to Florida?
Its not .. the reason why they call them calofornia native plants its because they grow naturally in california soil and they are adapted to the weather.
If you take them to florida you have to check the soil and if the plants are compatible with the weather in your zone ..
Those rounds will dry up and crack inside a year!
Awful looking garden
