"A weed is a plant out of place" Classic quote right there..Excellent quality video very informative.

I just pulled a burning bush out of my landscape and put in the trash, thanks to this program. I didn't know. Off to find out more info.

Check out your local Native Plant or Audubon Society on KZread. Buy from Native plant nurseries, not big box stores.

I've focused on gardening fairly recently with 2 acre wooded lot. Naturalizing the area was a goal to attract birds, bees, moths, and butterflies. This was the video I needed. I spend half my weeding efforts in the woods. There appears to be a new invasive or two every year. My woods use to have hundreds of trilliums, now most are only found in my dedicated flower gardens. Thanks for these resources to do more research to reach my goal.

Even in my small garden I made a difference with native plants, so many more lovely insects

We have been working in this direction, planting native plants and making sure we don’t buy invasive species. I’m on 3 acres that has a lot of invasive‘s that we need to get rid of but also many of the beneficial plants that you recommend. Thanks for sharing this with the community in a way that more may have access, even if by accident because of YT recommendations.

Thank you for sharing that ... I had also save it so when I'm in a position to I can take some notes...

great video and speaker!!

Fantastic! Thank you

Amazing info

This is great

amazing...

Inspiring!!!

My grandmother in rural Louisiana told me that the insects called the rain.

What i want to know is what to plant in my small yard, where do i find the information in order to help grow polenators and caterpillars, i live in south western Oregon.

I have 11 1/2 acres that I'm trying to improve. I planted 140 native pines back into the woods. Paw Paw, and other orchard trees. Now, I'm worried...I'm trying to wrestle the woods back from Smilax. I had over four acres of wooded land that was inaccessible except with a golf cart. The vines were 30 feet up and over the trees. I've beat it back, but it's an never ending battle. Now I'm wondering if I'm doing more harm than good. It chokes everything out...but it does provide food for animals. What do I do?

If I leave pruned stems on the ground over the winter, will bees use them?

probably not - they like them standing up.

If bees don't use them, other bugs probably will. If there is a spot where you can maintain a stick pile it is good for the ecosystem one way or another.

If a plant is native to North America but not your state, does it count?

Count for what? It is native to North America, but not native to where you live. Those are the facts. The term native is used far too often in a general way.

@@Gardenfundamentals1 Yeah it is. That is why I asked. If a species is pollinated by insects native to both your area and the area where the plant comes from, is that good enough? Will the same insect species be evolutionarily different due to distance so that they won't pollinate the plant?

We would be half way there if we got rid of those damn golf courses and put up wildlife habitats or parishes or even food forests.

And who is going to pay the rent on those lands?

@@Gardenfundamentals1 Lots of organizations like Nature Conservancy could buy up that land. Golf courses are an ecological plague.

The whales are starving too because humans are harvesting the krill to make vitamins out of it for themselves.

But of course as we celebrate earth’s human population exceeding 8 billion, what is the root cause of all of these problems.
