Master Gardener Course: Eight Basic Rules of Botany

[@MindfulChaos]

My new favorite educator on KZbin! I graduated college a few months ago with a psych degree and yet here I am suddenly passionate about gardening. I type this as my indoor plant with three brown, wilted leaves stares down at me with contempt. P.S. if you have ADHD or any trouble focusing on certain subjects for long periods of time, I recommend watching at 1.5x speed :)

[@benvella1728]

Great advice!

[@MindfulChaos]

Upon rewatch, maybe 2x speed 😂

[@_noizmusic]

I don't know why I decided to watch this, but I'm learning a lot and this lecturer is great and keeps my interest!

[@fuxan]

Here is my take away: 1. Diversity: Plant kingdom is diverse and there are diverse responses to stimuli between plant varieties 2. Leaves: leaves absorb sunlight, produce food and perform transpiration 3. Buds: At the base of every leaf there is a bud 4. Balance: energy balance must be maintained between the roots and stems 5. Growth: there are 4 places of growth: terminal, lateral, root tips and cambium 6. Reproduction: it is top priority 7. Dwarfing: pruning is a way to dwarf 8. Control: bud growth is controlled by hormones/chemicals

Thx for the summary...

[@AlyxGlide]

Thank you, 2 hrs is a bundle to thumb through

[@syahgisi4226]

thanks

[@syahgisi4226]

@@AlyxGlide worth it though

[@octogirl2046]

Oh Thank you. I thought I was back In college 40 years ago:)

[@jasonb202020]

This lecture is so fascinating. How no one laughs at his jokes I don’t know I had a decent giggle

[@healthesoils]

ahaha agreed

[@ekinrade]

This guy is great! “You know when you think about it, a human physician only has to know about one species...” lol

[@phongphong4640]

The teacher is also blessed with a very interesting wife in addition to his great sense of humor.

[@Suspect42]

What an amazing class! This is the kind of teaching I have been looking for. I love how the scientific principles are made concrete through the anecdotes and application to plant puzzles. They really helped me understand the science. Thank you!

[@jimmyconnor5358]

Fantastic lecture! I particularly love the case studies the presenter seeds here and there to get to the root of the issue and really plant the idea. Really helps stem the boredom and leafs you guessing!

[@FireStarter2805]

David C I see what you did there. Took a year!

[@banjarqueenee]

Dig a hole in the garden dirt and bury those puns.

[@phongphong4640]

I love this class. Rick is such a confident and competent teacher. His calm and soothing voice is easy to listen to. Thank you so much! Appreciated.

[@Chris-ni6pv]

This man might be the Manly P. Hall of botany. Maximum

[@whatabouttheearth]

If he was like Manly P. Hall he would be slow, dull and full of made up bullsh*t.

[@Chris-ni6pv]

@@whatabouttheearth who hurt you lol

[@jg4939]

This was an amazing learning experience for me. I also think it's funny that half the time on the left table that lady had to keep all those plants there on her desk space. Great vid!

[@terry4921]

Excellent training. I am now in a Master Gardeners Class in Hagerstown, Maryland and this was a very good class.

[@buzzybee186]

My day off from work and I found this gem. Thank you!!!

[@lr5288]

Currently doing a horticulture course and the notes are too much to take in... Thanku for a wonderful lecture, learnt way more in this vid than i ever would in particular course!!

[@houseplantnerd2872]

Great lecture. Shared with the gardening world. A must watch for all plant people.

[@alanlavich]

A thousand thanks! That was s-o-o-o o good. I now consider myself seriously enlightened. That lecture was really comprehensive, and i will never look at the garden in quite the same way again...made all the intensive studying of botany I have doing all make good practical sense in one moment. Keep those videos coming.

[@teehendricks3985]

I missed sign up by one day in Maricopa County. I have my own nursery and volunteer with the elderly in the wv to help provide quality service to those with fixed budgets. Thank you for giving me a formal resource so I can continue my education, I hate the way the classes are so limited in this county.

[@harveymilne1684]

This has been really helpful. I’ve been trying to get into horticulture and botany but have found it quite difficult to find a starting point. This has definitely set me in the right direction

[@brycebarwick]

search KZbin for Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't ❤

[@AkamiChannel]

Amazing. Fantastic.

[@gerhardreyer5049]

Great, so much to learn!

[@pyramidion5911]

I agree about sick plants. It's boring when everything is growing fine.

[@SamHasPlans]

This is a super beautiful lesson, I'm super happy learning about this, you're a super amazing teacher!!!!! :D

[@mr.automation543]

Thank you so much for lecture. This professor deals great laymen terms!!! At least for me.

[@josephgeorge5917]

Fantastic review! Well worth the time spent in following the lecture..

[@chris432t6]

A very pleasant learning experience and simple introduction to botany and the science of it. Thank you

[@7-ten]

Well said!

[@chromegamercat]

I'm a senior accounting student who now regrets my major but with no schools anywhere near me offering botany, I'm going to learn some basics and then maybe in the future I can go for a bachelors...

[@robinhood4161]

Education system knows how valuable Botany is. Strange how it isn't more popular, huh?

[@natel9019]

You dont need to go to college . I make a nice living off plants and i have had no formal education.I occasionally teach PHDs and people with master degrees(i get a kick out of that). If you want the names of some great books that really helped let me know.You can use your accounting degree to get you into growing. All ag companies ,farms and ,nurseries need accountants.

[@jjcortez39]

Nate L hey, I'm always looking for more textbooks, I'm not turned off by textbooks either! I dropped out of college but I'm looking to pursue my passion. I am however limited to many undergrad books but looking for more in depth books.

[@etf_chach]

I've been working as an accountant for a year and looking to move into a career working with plants. Good luck!

[@etf_chach]

Hey Nate, can you send a list of books you'd recommend? Thanks.

[@CesarGarcia-hu3hc]

This is a great lecture so far!

[@causasui8185]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world! I learned so much from this!

[@7-ten]

Awesome! Thank you so much! 🎩

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

A great teacher!

[@Sai-hq3fj]

Thank u so much for such a fantastic lecture. I could learn a lot.

[@Bai_leyyy]

What a good lecture!

[@ajdani9400]

this was fantastic and i learned so much. thank you

[@timepass37]

Excellent lecture!

[@shannonjayne605]

great talk thanks!

[@deborahtheroux68]

Just started watching, looking for plant identification for ferns. There are so many!

[@plainjane7023]

This is great - thank you sir!!

[@adamollo9759]

I really enjoyed this lesson thanks 🙂

[@anatolyyanatolyy9858]

Thank you!

[@a.kay.c]

What a great speaker. Terrible audio, but great speaker!

[@houseplantnerd2872]

I realize this is an older video but I have a question regarding transplanting houseplants. I am always telling people to not break up the root ball when they transplant. I try very hard not to damage the root ball when transplanting. It sounds like you agree with me?

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

So much to learn:flora,fauna,Humankind,Elements,visible and invisible,so much I go crazy. All God'sCreatures. The Solar System. The Multiverses.... And iam just an Insignificant speck in the whole of this Complex. All in One One in All.

[@mercurymoon16]

thank you for this 💝

[@thartwig]

Somehow I missed the 2hr marker for the time and thought this was gonna be one of those goofy 8 quick tip kinda vids. That said, when you really wanna learn something its gonna take more than 2 hrs, so this is a good start.

[@tiaan7032]

Just your average weed grower here to learn some more;)

[@7-ten]

🎩 likewise

[@abmusiclover5653]

When there is plenty of water they shrink? About stomata?

[@Mikemike3134]

Yesssss I found itttt

[@sandracade7511]

I went to the gym.

[@7-ten]

Sweet, get your swole on bro!

[@orchid_in_the_rain8286]

Nobody: Me copying down everything on the slides because I want to be a botanist even though I’m literally just 11:👁👄👁

[@benvella1728]

You gotta start somewhere. Write any questions you have along with your notes and chase answers for them. That's how you build a quick map of a subject, and ultimately, experiment.

[@adamollo9759]

Dude same

[@eggfrijole]

Do we have a link to the presentation 😭 text is so small

[@steveorz85]

I'm just 5 and this is so Intriguing

[@Epiphalactic]

Ah mono, we meet again.

[@bookietee1442]

Can you turn up the volume

[@7-ten]

Use headphones, it helps.

[@jg4939]

The part where he was talking about how he figured out what was wrong with the ash trees my mind was blown. I was sitting in my chair being like "OMG What the HECK is killing the TREES????" and it turned out to be a string trimmer. I was blown away.

[@roamingtr33]

no i did not get the string trimmer

[@crodako8268]

I really want to be able to go to college, but its very expensive, I dont think im smart enough, and I dont want to regret spending thousands on a major I dont want

[@amirpashashabestari8464]

GRATE !

[@jjcortez39]

Amirpasha Shabestari I'm assuming English might not be your first language, but just for future reference it's great. Just letting you know not trying to be a nuisance!

[@DustinJJ98]

grate : (verb) to make an unpleasant rasping sound.

[@benwolf5264]

Right speaker not necessary.

[@dakotawayne2065]

Not a single "master gardener" could tell me most of what I learned by 11th grade biology

[@dontalkt2meboutheros]

You must be a natural gardener/botanist.

[@whatabouttheearth]

So apparently you didn't see the part where it says he has a BS in Biology and a MS in Plant Protection....I bet he could teach you alot that you never learned

[@delabebo]

Wait did he imply that fungi are plants????

[@DustinJJ98]

Take a look at plant classification. There is division between seeded plants and spore plants.

[@witchhazel7442]

Wish you had an organic or chemical free class... synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are why we have so many illnesses and pests.

[@lorilynnl6002]

so sad that's why we gotta grow our own and how to teach others (little kids) that's what I'm going to do and not hybrids

[@fevenrediet5516]

why all botany are making wrong

[@danielmurray929]

no one likes gymnosperms

[@mycapstone]

This presentation is missing - how to apply the 8 rules. It would be much more beneficial by first stating the rules then how to apply them to your plants.

[@niknik7470]

Whole vid could have been summarised in 10min

[@TITAN0402]

The problem is sir I think you are uneducated about mycorrhizal fungi....you didn’t inoculate those Ash’s properly.

[@lorilynnl6002]

perhaps not his specialty but dont teachers have to follow curriculum? Whether it's their beliefs or not? Especially if its out to public (?)

[@samstone1426]

did this mans really just say fungi are part of the plant kingdom, why tf any university paying him

[@DustinJJ98]

Take a look at plant classification. There is a division between Fungi, mosses, ferns, etc(spore plants), and basically "everything" else (seed plants).

[@lorilynnl6002]

explain and what about algae?
