Mine flower every year but are so tell they break off in the wind

My FAVORITE plant! Thank you for sharing~

Thanks DOC

Ho much water did you use the first time right after you planted them and how often do you water them? Thanks.

Looks like i lost my zoysia lawn. Im in Virginia which is the transition zone. Last year it came out of dormancy in May. Its middle May now this year and i would say maybe 10% is green. Ive noticed tgere are some bare spots. Had the yard(townhouse) instalked in August of 2022. What a crying shame .

Zone 6 in eastern pa. I have a Bandana Yellow Lantana. This is it's second season and it's doing great. However, I just notice these red little bugs on the stalks. Can you tell what they are and what I should do to get rid of them?

Don't wanna go below freezing? Why

Would ALOE VERA or cinnamon be a sufficient growing hormone replacement?

Thank you for your balanced approach and reliance on peer-reviewed data. Peer review is crucial for maintaining the integrity of science by filtering out low-quality or invalid articles, which often shape people's opinions on topics like those discussed in this video. Excellent video! Keep up the great work!

Thanks 👍

love this video, im taking care of my brothers zoysia. One thing I'll note, Zoysia doesn't need as much nitrogen, but it loves iron and neeeeds it!

Couldn’t you soak that in water for a week ?

Where do you live? It sounds to me like you also live in a southern state. I live in North TX and just wanting to compare your environment to mine. This is my first time to see your program and so glad I found you as we are currently doing a total makeover of our yard. I'm currently researching the Japanese Maples so this was perfect timing for me to bump into you. 😊

I like all the information that you have shared. I’m a user of miracle gro . I believe in their product and like you said,like in the directions they tell you how to use properly. I’m in the desert southwest

Really like the science and practical mix. Great balanced video. It's too late for me and the termites. Oh well, they were well fed😂 I put it in the bottom of my raised beds. I like how you addressed the ink question.

I have a question. I have some soil that I started to repot a vegetable in. I think it was basil and it didn't take. I have it in a grown bag but it didn't grow. I noticed that little bugs are coming out. Should I try to use that soil or should I just get rid of it? I'm a new Gardener I need to know as much as you can help me with.

ns canada here and i just started propagating plants 2 years ago. 19 hydrangeas i have now they budding nicely and its mid may. still kind of chilly here. but should be warming up soon. i cannot wait to garden.. i need to record and share the process, progress... makes me happy seeing it come back n growing.

Interesting. If soil has a fungus or disease in it, can bleach or hydrogen peroxide be used to kill it?

Can you share where you got your heat mat?

I don't compost grass if its seedings. I did that once, had grass coming up in my compost and wherever I use my compost. Thing with some cardboard I found out that some won't completely compost down into soil. The cardboard that didn't compost completely became hard and nonbendable. I had to remove its from my compost container. None of the bug,worm, and organisms didn't want to touch it. Like pizza boxes that I compost ones. Composted completely down into soil in no time. Toilets paper rolls take longer to compost down,

I'm happy you posted this. I promised a dear friend cuttings from my button bush. Now I know what to do.

Unless MG has changed its ingredients, I don’t believe the current hyped about how dangerous MG is. I have used MG for decades in different time zones. What I have found is the area and soil matter most. In 9b, everything can like weeds if the soil is right - tomatoes, zucchini’s, all kinds of squash, roses, etc. etc. I have not stopped using MG and still enjoy seeing lots of pollinators and earthworms.

I have an elephant ear in pot in a shady area of my backyard for years. This way it won’t spread in the ground and it is easy for me to divide the plant if needed. I started having a division from a lady in the local community. Hers is in the ground. I am in 9b. Here the summer is hot and dry so it needs daily watering to stay alive. For the winter, it depends. Last year, for example, we did not have freezing days at all; NONE. Only some light frost for a couple of days at different times. So the elephant year remained evergreen. In some winters it went into dormancy and came back in spring. It is an amazing plant.

If someone is uncomfortable using Miracle Gro, then I fully support their decision not to use it. What I don’t support is opinion that’s stated as fact when there is currently no evidence to support such a fact. Thanks very much for producing a highly informative video which separates the two. I particularly appreciate your willingness to change your position as new information becomes available - we should all adapt that philosophy, scientists or not. This is not a contest to see who “guessed” right before the facts were known. Sometimes our egos exert far too much control over our judgement.

I’ve got a lot of spots where my zoysia won’t grow or creep into. Most of those spots are moss now. Which is also cool

I hoped you would let me know if I can plant and grow from what is sold as dried clippings from a Forsythia tree and what exactly am I looking for, perhaps little buds to plant and water? Since I am learning abit on horticulture, I hope for any information you can share on this one as I am not familiar, I'm more of a sweet potatoes, and or banana pepper recognizing slips or seedlings etc, yet not buds, however it did end up combined with three boxes of taco shells....so these could have been crushed? Please help! lol

So I am planning to make a garden bed around my fence, but I don’t want to waste the grass that is there. Can I transplant much larger chunks of sod into my backyard that is very bare? There is only a corner of grass there. Our tree got trimmed down this year so we will have more sunshine back there.

I wish it was a perrebial for my area. It's an annual here. I absolutely love it

I'm all about using what works for veggie gardens but I'm not wasting time or money on a perfect lawn. We waste entirely too many resources on lawns. Plant native species that look great and use less resources than grass and the chemicals it requires.

Hi can i put a kind of big plastic cover but not completely coverered plants ,actual temperature here is 22-24 recently in uk and also is it better to propagate using rain water by spraying on the top of plants?

This was a great video! Im very familiar with the channel you referenced. He also says he doesn't use sunscreen because he believes it's dangerous so i always take what he says with a grain of salt!

Important note regarding atmospheric carbon: while it's true that decomposing matter for organic compost/fertilizer/mulch results in carbon being released into the atmosphere, that is carbon that is already "on the books." Carbon can be temporarily kept out of the atmosphere by being locked up in plants and animals, but it is essentially in a cycle wherein it will eventually make its way back to the atmosphere, and then taken up again by plants, and then animals, etc. The difference with "chemical" fertilizers is that they're petroleum-based, so they're actually introducing carbon into the atmosphere that had otherwise been functionally removed from the equation (by being sequestered underground as oil).

pretty much any store fertilizer is bad for you even organic fertilizers has higher heavy metals then miracle gro.

My grandparents in west Texas had several huge lantana bushes in their backyard. I loved those bushes so much, but west Texas and piedmont North Carolina are 2 different environments.

Can i grow in zone 12 :(

Just got a Japanese maple gifted to me. Thank you for explaining why they are not heat tolerant (e.g thin bark and shallow roots). It definitely helps to know when planning its care.

I use synthetic water soulable fertilizer sparingly, mainly for seed stats, potted plants, and to give a boost to new transplants. From my exprience the representations of NPK are too high. I dilute it to about a quarter strength to get the NPK levels below 5-5-5 and fertilize as needed, or with seed starts about twice a month. In my main garden beds, I use slow release granular fertilizer on certain crops, and some only as needed. I use a layer of leaves in the fall to cover bare soil, then work them into the soil when I start my spring garden. See a lot of worms, and the soil is healthy. I also add compost made from leaves, grass clippings, plant tops from the garden (I leave the roots in the soil to dteriorate), coffee grounds, peelings, egg shells, and other kitchen scraps. I keep the soil moist in the off season, so it doesn't dry out. I have excellent plant growth and harvests, so I am doing something right. I have sixteen raised beds, an inground herb garden, and an orchard with ten fruit trees. A bag of 10-10-10 granular fertilizer lasts 3-4 years, and 1 pound of senthetic fetilizer lasts between 1-2 years.

First, Bermudagrass is cheaper. Second, Bermuda's lateral growth is many times more aggressive than that of ANY other warm-season grass. As a result, Bermudagrass has super high self-healing properties and is resistant to foot trafic. Finally, Zoysia is vulnerable to fungi but Bermusagrass is relatively resistant to fungal diseases. There are several varieties of Bermuda that are extremely fine-textured. 4-5 hours of direct sunlight with additional care is often tolerated by Bermuda.

In the winter that stuff turns ur whole lawn yellow

This podcast was very beneficial . When I lived in the city, I was content to use Miracle Grow. It worked well. After retiring and moving to my piece of Heaven, I became concerned about my forest and didn't want to cause any damage to the soil. After all, until my husband and I took up residence, there wasn't any human interference on its ecosystem. Thus, I became suseptible to the position of the environmentals. What seemed to be missing was hard scientific evidence. Your podcast included peer reviewed research and was less than ten years old. Your position is correct in my way of thinking. You used evidence that is peer reviewed by reputable sources and within ten years old. Your position is strengthened by providing sources.

Thank you for a methodical approach based on what peer reviewed scientific data shows about the product in question.

I don't see the link to the original video as referenced at 1:00. Can you provide this? Great info as always! 👍

Is there any truth to literature stating synthetic fertilizer runoff can increase Uranium in drinking water?

Dr. Plant I really appreciate your information so quickly. Sorry I forgot to tell you; l’m in zone 6 in Phx,Az.❤😊

Why did they pay millions of dollars in settlements because of health issues if they’re not doing anything wrong?

Thank you for you level-headed approach to this topic. I love when actual research is used to dispel common myths and “panic” topics. 🙌

sigh....this is exhausting! I applaud your in-depth research and presentation. After about 5 years of reading and listening to smarter people than me, when it comes to my own nutrition and health as well as the environment, I've concluded that nothing good (ultimately) comes from the massive use of synthetics and chemicals. As long as glyphosate and Grazon remain legal in USA as an example, I do not trust the EPA or the FDA to decide what is safe or not because they are "owned" by big corporations. Many of the chemicals allowed in U.S. are banned in other countries. I only trust the wisdom of regenerative farmers now, to interpret the studies which are often flawed or worse, hidden or interpreted to deceive. I've retreated to living on my 1 acre city property, drinking and watering my gardens with filtered rainwater, raising organic pastured chickens for eggs, making compost from oak leaves and green trimmings and my own urea (urine) collected fresh every day ! I love nice landscaping and flowers and a small lawn but if I can't grow something without importing bagged products from big box stores then I won't grow it. Americans are so steeped in convenience, cheap$, and materialism that we can't see the forest for the trees. Sorry for the rant - your video caught me early in the morning after a day of stewing over alarming statistics about metabolic diseases and pollutants.

Thank you I had lantanas last yr. All 9 die.😢😢This yr. I brought more I live in Az. our summers are very hot. How often should I water than?

Closer camera to subject so as to better see the detail. Also add more light on subject matter with a reflector or additional light source. especially if you under shade. Great imfo !!
