    One of the best INPS presentations I've seen. Jessica is a great speaker: knowledgeable, experienced, succinct, a natural presenter, easily adjusts to the audience, and distills a wide array of information from numerous sources into practical key points.

    So, in China must not have any forest by now due to all the native jumping worms there. Humans are so silly sometimes, they think they can do better than mother nature because of their "science" that is destroying nature with all this pesticides and now target worms that later may find out they are good for the soil.

    Thank you for this very thorough video. I am just east of Cleveland, Ohio, Summit County, about zone 5b. I noticed Asian Jumping worms in our gardens last year. Plenty of videos on youtube to identify them. Don't know if they were in our yard when we got here 7 years ago or came to us in bags of leaves for mulch collected in our neighborhood or trucked in wood chip mulch, plants I have purchased, or soil and sand I have brought in. I use both leaves and wood chips in 4+ inch layers over our suburban land fill lot. We need organic material added to our clay/back fill soil. Sad! But, skunks and maybe racoons have found the worms which stay close to the surface. They "stir" my mulch at night and dig holes 4- 6 inches apart where I am sure they are eating the jumping worms. Yeah! So, I don't give plants/dirt away. We still have European earth worms and red wigglers. I just add as much organic material as I can get my hands on. I am not giving up gardening. Sounds like I should give up composting during the winter?

    So is dammed water upstream good or is it bad? As I'm watching this, there are dams being removed in many states across the country, mostly under the pretense that they are "bad," and that the environment will be "better" without them.

    This is an excellent presentation with lots of useful tips. I am a pretty lazy winter sower. I don't have the time or facilities to pot the seedlings on and I sometimes don't get around to transplanting until late in the season. One problem I had initially was using regular potting mix -- the seeds would germinate but then stall -- there wasn't enough nutrition to keep them going. I would never use potting mix with fertilizer in it ordinarily, but I tried Miraclegro and Vigoro and both worked great. A lot of seedlings can take a fair amount of neglect and still thrive. Once the weather warms up and I open the lids, I move the containers from the south facing side of my house to an area that only gets morning sun. I am in zone 6b NY.

  • @Maczust63
    @Maczust63 10 месяцев назад

    I was forecasting for my red hickory (pignut) and also some oaks. I didnt really keep a good eye on the white oak near by but I came by early September and saw some acorns under this nice white oak so I went to have a look and do some cuts and sure enoff they were perfect first 2 I cut. I then picked up a 3rd and it had a radical already coming out. As I was looking at that I was being hit will multiple acorns. I've never been more on time and happy in my life other than my first born. Going to remeber that for a life time. Also hoping they do well this winter and im going to give them away and plant them out for my town.
