That’s a great story!!! Thx for sharing. Your message is true, anyone can do it!!! ❤️🙏

@@AumsAcre The other thing, half the plants were planted by the birds and the wind, not me lol. So many volunteers showed up, New England aster, Virginia creeper, wild grape, heath aster, tall white aster, evening primrose, white cedar, columbine, goldenrod, milkweed. Thanks for the video.❤🎶

@@joanfrellburg4901 that’s the best way too. Shows us how nature has the last laugh!!! 😂

@@AumsAcre It's a beautiful surprise isn't it. Especially since it looks almost intentional, like I know what I'm doing, when in actuality, I have no clue LOL.🤡

@@joanfrellburg4901 are you getting any invasives?

That’s a great question, thanks for reaching out. So I find that it does need some moisture. But this particular button bush was an absolute beast. During the first year, it got severely rubbed by a deer the day before I put a fence around it. I was so bummed out. But I let it go and the following spring nothing was happening and it was about to cut it back and I saw a little green shoot… And it took off from there. The Made a site visit to Bowman‘s nursery and saw buttonbush there and realized how much moisture it actually needed. So I provided about 24 inches of wood chips around the base of the stem of the bush extending out about 4 to 6 feet. I don’t water it ever after that I applied the chips. And finally on the third year it flowered. This is the fourth year I’ve had the bush and it’s absolutely thriving. I know this is lengthy but all in all, if you heavily mulch it you’ll be fine. Hope that helps. 🙏☮️

@@AumsAcre That's VERY helpful! Thank you. I prefer lengthy in depth answers, so it's wonderful. Excited to see future videos from you.

@awildapproach 🙏❤️☮️

Thank you so much!

Sure thing!!!

Oh wow, a poet! The One who is connected, beyond, free. Thank you!!! 🙏 Thank you!!! 🙏

Hey By the way - we just made a video update on the Wildflower meadow. To highlight the results and showcase the flowers. Its about 4 minutes of photography. Im reaching out because you commented on the original How to Create a Wildflower meadow and Im trying to promote it... ...if you have the time a full view thumbs up comment and maybe a share would be so appreciated. And if I can do anything in return, please say the word. Thank you so much. Heres the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpm1ZJ1rg9aCaLcsi=0iuFIh-Jml5WMweD

Hi Neighbor!!! So exciting!! You’re probably right around the corner from me. Anyways, yes, there are some companies out there, but there is one in particular that has the highest level of integrity. wildlawn.com They are a USDA level 4 company along with itheir sister Company Archewild. Wildlawn installs, Archewild source and grows seeds. They have basically developed a GPS system where they identify and collect the actual seeds themselves and then grow them in their own nursery. Why is this so important? - because the level of integrity of the seed will allow for your site conditions to thrive. I know them personally, and they are awesome. Good honest people as well. Just let them know that Michael sent you, get nothing out of it. And don’t forget to send some before and after pictures, I’d love to see it. 🙏🙏🙏🌱🌱🌱🌱

Oh the deer yeah, the deer as weak as nature is going to do what it’s going to do. That’s why Wildlawn will select along with your input the proper seeds that will thrive. I still battle the deer every single day. They absolutely love my New England, Astors. But at the end of the day, what is supposed to be there will remain there, Nature won’t discriminate, it will create an organic meadow for you. But in full transparency, there’s nothing like having a beautiful brilliant meadow filled with grasses and wildflowers, and a deer in meadow browsing. Inviting nature for us only put a smile on our face. There’s no greater reward than giving back! And once we gave back, we understood that the reward was not for us, but for all creatures.

@@AumsAcre Thank you so much for referring wildlawn. I will definitely be contacting them. As for the wildlife, I am learning to adopt a live and let live outlook. I’m that way with people so it should be easy to do when it comes to animals. I tell myself that if I keep providing a salad bar I should expect the customers to come. Besides, what is cuter than fawns and baby rabbits? I’m going to share this video with my neighbors who are also very interested in converting part of their lawn to meadow. One is a beekeeper. His bees visit my property and we need to keep them happy. I’ll keep you posted as to my progress. Thanks, again!

Good luck!!! If you have any questions, let me know!!! 🙏

Thank you oh wise one, please grace us with your presence!

Once a year. In Spring. Lots of beneficial bugs overwinter in some hollow stems. I’ve manual cut back with pruners to 4 inches, takes a long long time. But you can set tractor to 4/6 inches that way too. That’s what I did this year. You can you a weed trimmer, powerful one with thick gauge or those steel blades too. The other alternative is to not cut it back. Nature never cuts back it’s Meadows, so that’s probably the best way. It just depends on how tidy you want to keep things. I let mine go pretty long this year until I cut it back. Hope that helps and good luck. Let me know how it turns out. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for tuning in…. Your support is incredible!

Wow, that’s incredible, yeah I think I’m gonna add more pawpaw in the fall. I missed my window this spring. But I really appreciate you chiming in and watching the video. Thank you so much, and thank you so much for the support. Have a great day.! 🙏🙏🙏☮️

It’s actually not hard. The reality is it takes patience and researching what thrives in your own mini ecosystem. I would observe your surroundings and check out what grows natively already. That’s a good place to start.

@@AumsAcre Thanks. Got me thinking of creating a template.

@@stingingmetal9648 yes sure thing. It’s so worth it. The insects a will love you, the birds will sing!!!!

@@AumsAcre did do. I shared as well. What a property!

Thank you so much! I’m not sure if Archwild services out there, but they are the best! archewild.com

I know, what a PITA. But all is done, now keeping the trail clean is somewhat of a chore. Early spring it needs attention. Mugwort and celandine (sp) love the wood chips. Anyway, thanks so much for watching!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. One thing that resonated with me that you said in a different video is you had two passions, one was growing stuff, the other photography. I’m in the same exact boat. I have a small channel on myself that I’m trying to get off the ground. I find it hard when you have to film yourself the whole time, anyways, I really like the vibe of your channel

@AumsAcre It is an awkward balance indeed! Especially when your hands are dirty and want to change lenses etc. 😅 Keep at it, though. I've done it on and off over there years, and there's so much now that I wish I had filmed but was too caught up in the project at the time. My greenhouse for example... I'm so proud of it, but all I captured of the building process is 3 lousy photos. Ah well.

Yes for sure

Yes, for sure!

thank you so much! Love your beets!

Awe thank you so much!!! 😊

Yep, for sure, thank you for watching, check out this down below. If you have any other questions, let me know. Thank you. All organic Use this after the blossoms fall off Kelp Maxicrop Neptunes Harvest Fish 2-4-1 or Alaska Fish Fert 5-1-1 Blackstrap Molasses You should feed them right now Early to mid-spring, usually when the daffodils are in full bloom, we top-dress our blueberries with half to 1 pound Re-Vita Pro fertilizer (5-4-3), depending upon the size and age of the plant (3-5 years old get 0.5#, 6 yrs. and older get 1 pound, or roughly 3 cups). This is done by sprinkling the fertilizer over the growing zone of the plant (which for us is a 3’x3′ area).

Yep that’s awesome, thx for sharing and watching!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

You’re welcome!!! 😉 glad you enjoyed!

I got it at Wild Birds Unlimited...

Werd up!

So cute!

No way!!! That’s awesome!!! 👏 good luck! 👍 go get em!

Got a new one!

Thank you. 🙏

Thanks Walt!!!

IDK, battery was fresh, but my best guess is moisture. But I have no clue. I was in a calm state watching the snow through the camera, and the drone started to force land. Visibility was low, it went blank, and I saw a ripple. I’m so sad!!! 😞 expensive mistakes were made!!! But was a great two year run…

Thank you

Thank you! Cheers!

than Thank you so much! So magical!

Thank you for watching Walter. It will take about 2-4 years to bear fruit. By the 5th year it will be bearing heavily. 🍑
