I have 2 oaks one that is rivaling that trunk circumfrence and another that is double the circumfrence. Is this rare
@TheConservationFoundation20 күн бұрын
You have some very old oak trees! Big, old oak trees are generally rare today due to development and new oak diseases.

What is the brand (or link) to the diverter shown in this video?

Upcycle Products supplies our rain barrels and accessories, including diverters: upcycle-products.com/upcycle-factory/ If you're local, you can order them for pick up at our farm office in Naperville, IL or the Upcycle Factory in Morris to avoid the shipping cost.

I'd imagine that prairie is significantly less intensive than native trees, especially when considering underground infrastructure. Even in wilderness areas, fallen trees block trails, and eventually get cleared. I used to patrol a university campus, reporting any heaving of sidewalks that were being lifted by larger woody vegetation because, any uneven crack that is more than 1/2-inch is a tripping hazard. In the desert Southwest, where the soil or run-off / drainage has been disturbed, fighting exotic, invasive weeds is challenging to the reintroduction of prairie or meadow species. Archaeologists use vegetation patterns to interpret sites, which haven't been occupied for hundreds of years, because the soil fosters a different pattern, typically harboring select natives, and exotic species. Productive soils are often more effort to maintain than ones which have formed naturally.

So, i have a diverter, and i'm wondering if the hose out of the diverter has to go in above, equal to or below where thw overflow hose is situated.
@TheConservationFoundationАй бұрын
For the diverter shown in this video, the diverter hose connects to the overflow hose connection. In other words, if you have this kind of diverter, you do not need an overflow hose. Once the rain barrel is full, the rest of the rain water is diverted back into the downspout and drains down the downspout into the ground. Hope that makes sense!

Thank you for your excellent presentation. Here in Ethiopia, Oromia regional state, there is a number of problems encounter here in Oromia Urban Agriculture. This is the result of human caused compaction. In Oromia Urban and pre-urban agriculture request a serious attention specially in improving soil health. So that we are very eager to work in improving soil health.Your cooperation specially in training is very important. Thank you.

The ladies need an ability to see in dusky light or dark. 👀👀It's funny how the males head stays in one position and the body does the work. ⏩⏩⏩⏩lol .THIS was a very chill and concise look at this fascinating, yes fascinating, bird.

I love this❤. I have birds that I watch close by, especially Robins, which have decided to build nests nearby. I have one female which I love dearly has nested for about two years now. Her nests usually includes three eggs and three hatchlings. I try to keep a close watch on her because I don’t want anything to happen to her….she brings joy and brightens up my day with their songs. I was afraid for the babies this spring because it was colder than usual, but so far the babies survived and are now on their own somewhere. I love birds, they are the first to tell you if something is wrong in the ecosystems, and lately, I’ve noticed that something is amiss because I have noticed less birds this year than before. People are always using too much bug killers and weed killers and are actually killing off the food source that the birds eat, namely flying insects, bugs and angle worms in the ground, and putting birds onto the extinction list because of it. They are having trouble with finding the good food and resources they need to survive. 👍❤️🙏🏼

Sorry, I had to stop just after you mentioned using a rain barrel in order to catch & use "mineral rich water"? I'm somewhat perplexed as it was my understanding or a matter of fact: that the water from the sky that falls to earth is as close to pure water as possible or basically distilled water. Typically after a 10 to 15 minute Window has elapsed. The rainwater becomes pure filtered mineral free water. 10 to 15 minutes is any dirt dust or pollen taken down by the rain water which is not as pure until all of the particulate in the sky has diminished extended period of rainfall. I'm wondering where the minerals are coming from because as water evaporates we know that any heavy minerals stay on the ground as the water turns into a gas vapour. These water vapours rise far above the earth to form rain clouds. This is also known as mother natures natural water filter. Nonetheless if I am wrong, which is possible please correct me so I'm not spreading disinformation. Thank you for the informative video.

Cool. I thought one of my red oaks might be close to oldest and/or biggest. It's 46" diameter, so a foot less than that beauty. And red oaks grow faster than white, so its probably a good deal younger. I DO have a nice stand of that vast oak forest you describe, though, with about 20 white and a few smaller red. Sadly have lost 7 since we moved here 45 years ago, but do have youngsters coming.

So I’m trying to keep native plants or xeriscape my yard and garden, I’m in sw KS and we’ve been under a very long drought so it just makes sense to. I have a veggie garden in wicking beds to preserve water, what veggie plants benefit from bee balm or should I place it near or further from the garden? Obviously oregano can help prevent certain pests getting into my tomatoes so would this be similar since it also has an oregano type smell?!
@lukeminer38715 ай бұрын
It’s in the mint family, so I would recommend caution when deciding on placement as it will spread fairly heavy. I recommend mixing it with other native perennials in a pollinator garden though!
