    Your "controlled burn" was a brilliant move in light of what happened here on the Panhandle of Texas this month ! CONGRATULATIONS on your insightful management of your land. Love and Prayers for you, your team and your family for this year ! 🙏🙏🙏 So eager to see the new grass this 2024 spring !!! I LOVE "Good News " !

Rarely here about this being done in the UK, though..don't know why..maybe its all the rain we have.. amazing watching the bison 🦬 walking through and it not hurting their hooves...p🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👍👏🦬🦬🦬🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸

Disney wasn't a big thing when l was growing up really..my older sister took me to see Snow White..Jungle Book and the Aristrocats..oh and Mary Poppins which is a bit Disney..Never seen Bambi..The Lady and the Tramp etc..obviously I've seen the extracts and know the stories..but they are very rarely shown on tv now..the more up to date ones are but not the originals.

    If you will run a disk over the blackberry patch after you burn it and turn those berry roots up, most will dry out in the sun and die. As long as there are roots in the ground they will keep living and spreading.

    Fire is a natural and beneficial part of the prarie landscape. Despite what young city dwellers may think, grass was meant to be mowed (bison) and weeds, mesquite, and cedar were meant to be culled (fire). All part of nature's plan.

    Not many are aware that the cane blackberries are not native to North America. They were brought by early settlers who missed them and had them shipped over. As a result they have invaded all of the USA & Canada.
    Native grass is the absolute the best.
    There is some nutrient released by fire which draws bison, moose, elk, deer. So you are improving the land in many ways. My grandfather told me, decades ago, but I have forgot. Being the quenticential hunker hunter/gatherer that he was, he knew all about that part of nature. He respected nature and excessive taking made him furious.

    Hi Dusty, its been a while since I've commented. But since you brought up the topic about the bison poop. In Alaska some people collect moose pellets, dry them and use them for fire starters whenever they are out hunting or camping. People don't realize how lucky they are to have the things we do. Anyway just wanted to stop by and say hi and pass that on to you. Best always Rusty in Southern Oklahoma ❤️ 😊

    That blackberries can be controlled. The vines only bear one year. Then they die. So if you own long enough clippers, you cut down the vines that had berries. Clear to the ground. The vines that did not bear, bear the next year. Understand having a fence to tie the vines to are a big help. That way the tips don't touch the ground. That is how they spread. And, because your pruning every year, they stay within their limits. Love wild blackberry pie.

    Dusty, the pioneers and Indians used dried buffalo patties make excellent dried fuel for fires. They start fast and burn hot, that's why you're having so many issues with spot fires.
    That being said, it's great to see a controlled burn to get rid of invasive and super hard to kill wild black berries.

    More ranchers need to do some prescribed burns. Get rid of that dead fuel and get that regeneration going. It certainly will help prevent additional wildland fires like we have seen in the Texas panhandle and western Oklahoma. There is always a risk during dry conditions like we have seen. But when there is so much fuel we get the tragic consequences.

  • @timsutherland5089
    @timsutherland5089 3 місяці тому

    While I realize you refer to the blackberries being an invasive species. Here in Mississippi in the springtime many times I went with my grandmother to gather blackberries. This entailed a little coal oil around your wrists and ankles to keep the red bugs off. Too much coal oil and it would blister your skin. And yes I know all too well the ‘hooks’ on the canes. But nothing better than blackberry jelly, jam, or clobber. 😊😊😊
