    Next time you're in one of those West Texas Ice Machines, call up the NWS office in Midland and let us know what you're seeing ideally with a diameter measurement of the largest stone you can find without getting knocked out. We use those reports to verify that stuff actually happened. From the video, that looked like ping pong ball to golf ball size hail and depending on the date, I was probably working that day! Also, you're welcome to come by the office for a tour anytime! Loving the West Texas content that's been out recently as I need to find more plants for my yard. Keep it up!

    Important horticultural lesson here: if it didn’t cost over $10 and come in a plastic pot from Home Despot, My Nards, Sufferlands, or Wal-Shart, then it’s NOT a flower, it’s a weed and must die. Or, if it is derived from a native plant, it must be a cultivar and have some stupid name like “sunset mist”, but if it’s not an artificially selected cultivar and can be found in the wild without pesticides and irrigation, it’s still a weed and must die. After all, why else do you think Jesus invented lawnmowers?

    • @CanVultus
      @CanVultus 4 месяца назад +7

      The lawn mower was invented in 1830 by Edwin Beard Budding of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. Budding's mower was designed primarily to cut the grass on sports grounds and extensive gardens, as a superior alternative to the scythe, and was granted a British patent on August 31, 1830.

    • @CanVultus
      @CanVultus 4 месяца назад +8

      Another interesting fact about mowers is that John Albert Burr, a 19th century Black American inventor, patented a rotary blade lawn mower in 1898. His design included traction wheels and other features that made the mower more maneuverable and less likely to clog. Burr's mower also allowed users to mow closer to buildings and walls, and he developed devices to mulch clippings. Many manual push mowers today still incorporate elements from Burr's design.

      @@danstotland6386 His patent 5990 (1830) describes the machine as "a new combination and application of machinery for the purpose of cropping or shearing the vegetable surface of lawns, grass plats, and pleasure grounds, constituting a machine which may be used with advantage instead of a scythe." He then went into partnership with John Ferrabee. I couldn’t find any information on a US correspondence number from a quick search. John Albert Burr's lawn mower patent number is US 624,749, which was issued on May 9, 1899. Burr filed the patent on September 8, 1898, while living in Agawam, Massachusetts.

    What caught my eye in the eerie canyons were natural springs where maidenhair ferns lushly hang out! Also, an old mining camp on the way to a "resort" hot springs built like a hundred years ago had a general store where some old date palms sprouted up (no doubt an exotic in W.Tx)!
    That area is so magical, even spooky. We always felt like someone was watching us. Them hills have eyes!

    Watching an older kill your lawn vid…made me think of Hort tricks I learned that are incredible…u probably know but maybe not…
    In Rome, GA and we have heavy clay acidic soils (3-5pH no joke) (except for 1 area near quarry is basic) Even azaleas and gardenias show iron deficiency from low pH….that’s a tell.
    Lime and gypsum fix 90…heck 99% of problems here….a lot…if u have acidic soils.
    Getting pH closer to 7 reduces fungal issues from shot-hole to canker…they vanish. (Prunus like 7.1pH…UGA prof told me. He referred to trees but it works on all….laurel shrubs have no more shot hole)
    But the gypsum…it binds with Aluminum in heavy clays. The aluminum is toxic and when gypsum added the roots go WAY down deep. Like turf will go down FEET not inches.
    Reduces additional irrigation down to zero.
    I put massive amounts over a year…say 40#/100sqft…one hundred…if I could usually wind using up less…basically a heavy application every month. Fungal disease gone, no hot spots no root rot from watering too much causing more rot.
    I’m 56 and this is my Magic Trick I’ve used for 35 yrs. I tell ppl but they never replicate???
    Good luck

    the thing that really drives me insane is people planting boxwood here when dwarf Walter's viburnum and yaupon holly are going to be identical to 99% of people and without the millions of problems boxwood gets here.
