Regarding the invasive grass, mow the areas where you want to kill it and cover the entire mowed area with a clear plastic tarp tight against the soil with cinderblocks or stones around the edge keeping it tight against the ground. This process is called solarization and will kill everything under the tarp if left throughout the summer. Reseed the area in the fall with native vegetation. Lots of resources available online for this and no herbicides required.

One way ive heard of to get rid of invasive grass or groundcover is to get a bunch of cardboard from a local store (they usually give it away for free if you ask nicely) and cover the ground where the invasive plants are, and then cover the cardboard with some mulch. Youll need to keep it there for a whole cycle of the growing season to make sure any seeds get fully killed off,, but afterwards you can just till under all the mulch and cardboard with aome heavy equipment and repopulate the area with some native grass seeds

@BamaBass no problem! I've been recently looking up organic ways to rid our herb garden of invasive mint that hopped out of its pot a couple years back, without causing harm to all the other herbs. This was one of the methods that seemed like it was the best for the environment. It'll probably be an ongoing problem at least for a couple years, but if you can get the majority of the flowering area now then you'll get a good chunk of the work done then and there. It'll just be playing whack-a-mole as the next season arrives with the small patches of new seedlings you'll have to look out for.

Where you have a lot of invasive grass I’d simply plant a lot of comfrey amongst it. It kills the grass around where it’s growing due to its big base leaves and it’s amazing at attracting birds bees butterflies etc etc. huge patch of comfrey will look and act amazing for you buddy.

The critter the owl caught is a very young cottontail rabbit. Their feet and their ears are proportionately smaller than the adults when they are little. When I am training a new young hawk to hunt, I often catch a few in that age range when I am out late in the summer or early fall.

Look into seasonal prescribed burns to exhaust the invasive grasses seed bank (will take a few years) then overseed with native species. Try to do the burns before they get to seed stage

You should put some native plants in the wetland filter and pond. Just grab some from a local pond and just dump them in, Like lily pads and dwarf hairgrass

And seeing how ALL these different creatures come here to this (your) pond to benefit from it and live from this pond. This goes far beyond the KZread video title “I added 5,000 prawns to my Bass Pond.” It’s Amazing seeing how all this Wildlife comes here to this successful functioning healthy pond; Everything from the prawns, the largemouth bass, the bluegill, the rocks, the way the pond land scape is structured and organized so other living creatures can grow without the predators eating them yet, the algae, the toads and frogs, the water air pusher thingy in the middle of the pond, the eagles, the crows, the squirrels……. Now I truly see and get how this benefits Nature as a whole and how everything is connected……. All from this (your) successful, healthy, functioning pond and what it provides to the wildlife and nature as a whole……. I get it now. Because I can see it. I did not see the overall benefit this has to NATURE AS A WHOLE. I thought people just build ponds to make it easier to catch a 20 LB Bass, but this has ALOT of Good benefits to alot of living creatures and living organisms in Nature as a whole. Now I am seeing why the Department of Natural Resources is a valuable thing to have for our Nature, Wild Life Parks and Life. It goes beyond what most people see on the surface.

This was cool! Especially when you described how you gave the minnow baitfish a place to get away mostly from the Bass. -WOW! Those little baby Largemouth Bass are QUICK! -MAN THEY SWIM FAST IN THAT SHALLOW WATER!

Roundup is safe around you're pond, its the only herbiced you can use in the UK around water. Careful running the aerator 24/7, it will lead to an increase in the biomass and if it fails for whatever reason you need a back up, or monitor the dissolved oxygen content and only run it when it gets low. Also don't worry too much about mixing layers I don't think your pond is deep enough to develop them and it's nicely exposed to wind which mixes it up and keep the oxygen levels up naturally. If you don't want to monitor oxygen just run the aerator during the warmer months at night.

I have never seen anyone build a huge hill, but if you want a natural water storage system that keeps giving your pond fresh water: a huge hill. I know it is such a silly thing to say because anyone just thinks in terms of: Drill a well, and electricity and a pump. Simple low cost, but your design, makes me think you want to go above and beyond to create a habitat. A hill does the trick, I don't actually know how tall a hill has to be in order to start leaking water out the sides.

It would be cool to put some prongs in the big tank and watch them grow

Congrats on over 1M subscribers, man! Very cool to have watched your channel explode out of nowhere over recent years. One thing you could do to bolster increased growth is some well-placed music over portions of your vids. I know that would be another layer of complexity onto your editing etc. but there's loads of royalty-free music out there for the no cost grabbing these days, so if you think you can spend a bit of extra time tracking down some tunes that can't demonetize you i'm absolutely certain you can and that it would be positive for your channel. Not that you need it you're obv. doing good without, but it's a (relatively) easy way to kick your vids up another notch. Best of luck and hope you can keep up the great work for years to come.

Tiger should go into cedar falls

How much fun would fishing with a 5’ Ultra light Combo be on that AMAZING Pond.

My favorite way to kill invasive grasses is to inter-plant something else that grows quickly and provides a lot of biomass, routinely before the grass goes to seed I cut it all down then rake into sections that are 6" to 1' thick. There's not enough biomass to do the whole area that thick so I just do it in sections and let the rest grow back before repeating the steps and filling in new sections. What this does rot the plant out from the roots, this will actually make your soil healthier and whatever cover crops you choose to grow down the road will grow that much better for it.

Another great episode... I would put him in the small pond and see what he does. Thanks for sharing.
