I'd like to know who financed the studies that "showed" that Glyphosate doesn't stay in the soil, etc. I don't believe that for one second. I for one will not be using it.
Another interesting fact about duckweed: it is one of the few (the only other one I know of is seaweed) plants that have B12. So maybe good for vegan food production.
Thanks for the information. I have a small duck pong and it use to get covered by duck weed and I was skimming it all the time. Then I planted some Bull Rushes and I do not get duck weed unless the air temperature goes over 75 degrees, and then when the temperature drops the duck weed goes away.
The rushes are taking some of the nutrients out of the water and competing with the duckweed. I prefer flowering plants along the edges of the pond. Sounds like you have a good system.

I am glad you found the video useful. I have not spent much time on creating click bait types of titles. This video is part of the tree and shrub chapter playlist that matches the Greener View Gardening book chapters. Trees and shrubs are chapter 6 and this is the 13th video in this playlist. If you click on the playlist button you can learn a lot by watching the videos in order, for each topic. How did you find this video? What kind of tree are on planning on wrapping? You can email me at info@greenerview.com if you have more questions.
@@agreenerview Title says "Wrapping Tree Trunks May be Harmful" but it actually looks like mostly benefits! Have a 14ft young maple that was surrounded by brush and now stands alone with no branches on the first 7ft
@@moutrap If you are in a cold climate, it could be a good idea to wrap your tree for the winter due to the brush possibly protecting the tree trunk from the sun in previous years. If the bark on the trunk is thick and corky, then you don't need to do it.
Wow, Jeff, that's quite a story. I'm sorry the end wasn't a happy one. Funny, that I uploaded a video this morning on the new Ducklings by my nearby lake. Congratulations on getting to 1,000❤ After 3 years and 8 months I finally got monetized 11 days ago. It sure isn't a big payday! But still fun❤ Take care ❤Peggy❤
It is not shallow rooted. The main root is a long white taproot that looks like a skinny parsnip and those “shallow” roots are coming from that. If you want to eradicate this monstrosity you have to dig deeply to remove this entire tap. Hopeless
Just rescued 20 Easter Lilies going to the trash at Church.... I'm in Southern California Zone 10 i think 🤔 Thinking of just planting in my large garden.... Hopefully they will live Or is it not worth the work? I don't know.... I usually do not plant such delicate flowers in my valley desert garden 🏡 If i keep the garden hydrated... Should they stay alive? Thank you 🙏
Easter Lilies are hardy between zones 5 to 11. They were grown commercially in Bermuda for a long time. The biggest problem you will have is the heat. 70s to 80s are fine but hotter temperatures will require watering and if possible, afternoon shade. I think it is worth a try, especially if you can plant some in different locations to see which one works the best. Rather than all the (Easter) eggs in one basket.
Hi, Thank you so much video with very detailed explanation on the growth hormones of the trees... I have a situation where I applied RM43 weed killer contains glysophate & imazapyr chemical in my paver driveway to get rid of weeds in Sep 2022, near the driveway within 2 feet, I have 2 sugar maple trees are impacted and not putting out leaves... its the second spring I see no growth or little growth in some branches, the branches are not dead and when I scratch it's green & flexible... and I see only small buds and no leaves... is there a way to fix this ? any solution for this, the tree has been installed in 2009, appreciate if there is any solution to save the trees.. thanks
Hi, The chemical Imazapyr mainly affects the growing point of the plant. So, the active cells that are trying to grow new buds, leaves, and flowers are the part of the plant most affected. It moves easily through the plant. It is water soluble so it can move in the soil away from where it was applied to affect plants that we don’t want to harm. If there is still any in the soil, it can be useful to water the soil to help move it down deeper away from the roots. Since it was applied so long ago, I don’t think there will be much left in the soil. At this point, there is nothing you can do but wait to see if any branches grow normally this summer.
my neigbour planted these when he left his ferns all died but i took one look dead but its now all green it had only one dead leafe now it has many green new leafes but im worried coz i dont know how to take care of it😂 i just planted it in a pot and put it under the tree and give water thats all
Boston Ferns are pretty tough. If it is coming back, that is a good sign. It does best in shade. Morning sun is good too. Keep the soil damp but not waterlogged. You can fertilize it at half the rate of what the fertilizer package says. What region do you live in? How cold is the winter?
Hi Jeff, We are already having days hitting close to 80°F. I haven't experienced snow in many years. I hope you don't lose too many blooms or fruiting buds. Take care ❤Peggy❤
Enjoy the flowers while they last. When they fall off be sure to cut off any seed heads that may start growing. Check out the planting Easter lilies video I made last year. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZlK-3X6P8Uc.html
@@agreenerview thankyou it helps a lot do you know what kind of plants to put in a rock garden and flowers that come up every year thar r hardy 🙏I asked a guy that cuts my grass he says for me choose the plant's I like more like greenery plant's sturdy&💪 strong
If you are in planting zones 3-7 they do come back but they bloom in the summer, not near Easter. In warmer zones, you need to dig them up and refrigerate the bulb for 3 months. They can be in or out of a pot during the cold spell.
Thank you Jeff! Best Easter Lily video for my situation. I need to buy 20 plants to flower in 1 week for Easter. Home Depot has beautiful plants for $10, but Sprouts has some for $4. Unfortunately the plants from Sprouts have small (2-4 inch), green bulbs, so I know they won't work. I have to spend more money, but you solved my dilemma and I can feel confident in the plants I buy. Thank you for the precise information, the bulb length for flowering was most helpful. Next year I know exactly what to look for and can plan better. Thank you! Happy Easter!
Nice tips, Jeff. We used to pluck the pollen daily in our flower shop. The idea of a customer getting their clothes strained kept us vigilant ❤ Happy Easter 🐰 My Friend ❤Peggy❤
