- Kill Your Lawn, Plant it dense, and don't be afraid to burn or chew it all up with a masticator or brush hug at the end of the year....all the prairie stuff is herbaceous perennials anyway....the roots stay alive but the tops.die every year and decompose, creating that rich blackberry soil. burn if you can, brush-hog or masticate if you can't burn.
After you annihilate your lousy lawn, plant this stuff:
Vernonia fasciulata
Pycnanthemum virginicum
Andropogon gerardii
Sorghastrum nutans
Arnoglossum plantagineum
Arnoglossum atriplicifoluum
Monarda sp.
Euphorbia corollata
Silphium terebinthinaceum
Silphium perfoliatum
and all the other cool natives....
Really happy to see more Illinois content. I love the other stuff but it's not the same as videos on my local area
thank God there are some other sane people in this world who understand and appreciate nature as I do. Keep up the good work.
I just moved to the praries/ badlands. Its freakn beautiful. I squashed a tick on my arm tonight. 😂 your timing is funny. That ironweds cool. Rubeccia is my fave tho. My lawns burnt and is turning white now. Gonna start diggn up a huge part and make my own meadow. Thanks for this, that was a gr8. Find. 😊
This is so beautiful!
Love your videos for many many years!
From Europe
Wow that’s awesome beautiful prairie. Glad to see places like that still exist
You rock brother. I take notice of the different plants in the bush when I walk my dogs, since watching your vids.
I hope your travels take you to the prairies of southern Wisconsin! Thanks for inspiring me to completely rip up my lawn instead of doing piece-meal pocket prairies bc was afraid of my neighbors! The lightning bugs, cicadas, and bees have been overwhelming :D
Thank you for this! Your prairie videos from years past have really helped me to appreciate and understand what's going on around me in western Minnesota (in between the miles of fckin corn, anyway.)
Love it and laugh right along with ya! 👍
I have Eryngium alpinum in my garden, it is the most unbelievable plant…the stems and flowers are a bright,amazing true blue. And deer don’t eat it nice. Also liked the white milkweed, I have the common pink one which smells like honey. Have to look for the lavender Monarda, I have the red one which I love, can make tea with the leaves…was so interesting to see what variety was in that prairie, thanks for showing it 🌾
I have made tea with the wild purple Monarda too! If you mix it with black tea it is reminiscent of Earl Grey. Such a tasty and beautiful plant!
Makes me think of broccoli florets!
More prairie please!
Hey there Hamburger Pimp, how you gonna talk about Chamaecrista but not mention the extrafloral nectaries, eh? I'm a little disappointed but it's ok I dig the Arnoglossum and that Monarda is straight bangin" like the 4th of July.
I use my goats and sheep to mow my grassland went needed as an essential part of the grassland management
Great video thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Pls do another fancy grocery store review😂
Mimic the chaos of nature! 💖
#CHECKYourASS!!! 👊💚✌️🤙
No, he said to have someone else to check your ass - and it's a nice opening line.
Are the _Arnoglossum plantagineum_ leaves succulent, or just rubbery? Maybe “proto-succulent”? Very interesting anyhow!
Joey finally gets back to the eastern US.
Hey brother, love your videos. Do you happen to know if Indian paintbrush changes color with altitude? My native buddy says it does, but I can't find any information on altitude based color change.
I've never heard of altitude affecting this plant. Normally the red color, which are normally stress pigments if in leaves or pollinator attractants if in Inflorescences (flowering structures) , is not dependent on elevation, only exposure to sunlight. But also, there a couple hundred species in the genus Castilleja, so it's hard to talk about "paintbrush" as a single entity. Different species produce different flower bract colors, and seemingly every different habitat out West has a different species of Castilleja in it.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt Thank you for your help. Your verbage is as flowery as your content, which I appreciate.
I expect that paintbrush species change with altitude and this could result in color changes of the inflorescences. I saw orange-colored inflorescences yesterday in the Gallatin Range here in SW Montana. At higher elevations a bit later in the season there will be another species with pinkish-red inflorescences. Earlier at lower elevations there were bright red ones. Elevation changes confounded with species distributions would account for your friend's observation.
@@charleshash4919 "paintbrushes change at altitude" is kind of misleading though... A better way to state it to avoid confusing people new to botany is that "different paintbrush species occur at different elevations". It seems second nature, but I've learned that to people new to this stuff it can initially be pretty confusing.
You should come up north more often
People always ask why didn't the Native Americans build anything permanent here? They didn't have to, this place was a fucking paradise before the aliens.
Have you ever been up on the North Slope? Gotta be some cool stuff up there, eh?
To feed coooows 😂. ❤😂❤😂
You basically rule!
tallgrass prairie!!!!!!
I prefer oak Savannah over anything
The wild prairie lands have been under appreciated by our society, as have the deserts. People need to get out of the car and touch nature. 🍀
Plant less trees more native prairies!
Stinkbug sighting at 4:27 in. Just sucking on some plant juice.
Aye
Come botanize the northwest sands of wisconsin
Stop filming in this format,...
Move along now Junior , scram. This wasn't originally filmed for RUclips. I didn't even intend to make a video at first, the scenery just kept getting better. Next time I just won't post it and you won't see anything...
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt I'm a long time sub... was kidding 😂! Great content brother!
@@jedediahsibley3355 I know the vertical format sucks but this happens from time to time
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt I'm in ohio, really like the succulent things, something Latin bla? Come back east sometime soon..LoL
Gotta yell at the mut as well, ..
