I'm another one who finds it very satisfying to see the area cleared out. You are doing an outstanding job!🏆🎉

[@Lorriann63]

It is so satisfying to see you clear the land up and another dead tree goes down. The best part is seeing the wisteria come down. Great job, Robert. It looks amazing.

[@fearlessvic]

Robert, I worked for a number of years at Thomas Jeffersons Monticello, when I lived in Virginia. On the mountaintop, where his home was, there was an area called the Grove. It had hardwood wood trees, but he had all the undergrowth cleared out. He felt it was aesthetically more pleasing to the eye. You're property is looking beautiful, and this video made me think of the Grove.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Fighting wisteria is never ending. Interesting to find the old foundation stones.

[@gailrockford8914]

That tractor has been a Godsend!

[@ObxBum79]

I’ve been out of work the last 6 weeks recovering from neck surgery, and have been watching your videos nearly every day here from Virginia. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the progress you’ve made on such a beautiful property. It’s been pretty awesome! Keep up the good work!

Love the music! Wisteria is like dust, it always comes back😅

[@Dulcy-Doll2736]

It's definitely super satisfying. I could watch hours of you clearing the land.

[@maryroberts5213]

I love watching when you are clearing the land. The music you choose to play is so homey and country.

[@leapingkitties]

I look forward to another chainsaw vs wisteria episode. It looks so good back there. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbaraharshman9460]

Please Robert if you can do something with the big rocks please do. Maybe a retaining wall?

[@glennyork6800]

OMG Sir Robert loving the new reclaimed areas & wow at the huge old oak tree near the property line is truly worth freeing from the evil wisteria. Spot on re rocks, def'ly look like rock foundation for a barn.

[@karenwright9123]

Woo Hoothe sound of that bush hog grinding up that brush, and those dang wisteria vines!!! Glorious!! Yep, sweaty work,but worth it!!! It's been hot🔥🌞up here but we got 🌧🌧yesterday. Decent not too much or too little. Lots of love from Ky!!

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi...love watching the trees knocked over. .. wisteria....etc......fun times on the farm clearing land...... Deborah 🇨🇦

[@KatefromOZ62-e5o]

I really enjoy watching you doing this, Robert. It brings back so many memories of my Dad and Uncle ploughing and clearing land on our farm, when I was a kid. I can even smell the dirt and trees. Thank-you so much for doing this for us to watch. You have no idea how happy it makes me feel remembering those wonderful years, growing up in a slower, happier time. Love Kate from OZ

[@celleduffel1533]

Wow a great job Robert!!! Ty to your camera person for helping out too.

[@margaretgarls153]

Your property looks like a park now. Great job!😊

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

It really looks amazing! Those choking vines hurts me to see them on the trees! Thank you for sharing your story!

[@carolparrott1994]

Such amazing progress! The Old Byrd Farm is so beautiful, and you are just uncovering more and more peaceful space. It looks so pretty with the high canopy. Also, your camera assistant did a great job!

[@Linney321]

My goodness it's so peaceful and lovely. Makes one want to get a chair and just sit in the shade. Great work!

[@matthewholzinger1042]

Maybe use the old stones as driveway curbing or a small wall out front.

[@kenhughes4715]

Fantastic job!

[@dolothegreat]

Oh man, I've more than ready to see the rippers do their job! Property looking awesome!

[@cornelliacrum74]

It is an absolute pleasure watching you clear your land!

[@alanmoberly64]

I had to laugh at the extra pair of feet appearing in the video. The mysterious Old Byrd Farm.

[@daleh645]

Maybe pile all the field stone in a central location for use on a foundation of a new shed, “cabin in the woods” or even a garden wall. 😎✌🏼

[@pjn7136]

I’m up the road in Atlanta and have recently discovered your channel. I’m finding this interesting and entertaining. Continued success in your efforts.

[@oldbamadirt2148]

O'h Your Killing It. I Like It.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

You have mystery history. Kinda fun to follow. 👍👍👍

[@KarenLouks]

You sir, are a very hard-working man. I've been with you from the beginning. You work so very hard. You ever take any kind of time off?😅

[@dianalyman5950]

Looking good Robert 💪✅. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️

[@sherrie545]

It looks great! Have you thought about the possibility of using those field foundation stones with landscaping to keep them on the farm for the historical purposes?

[@melissahempfling2824]

Looks great.

[@larrysmith6499]

You got a large area cleared. Looks great. Bite by bite. You are getting there for sure. The orange tractor is the best money you have ever spent

[@indianaslim4971]

I bet your neighbor is happy seeing you get rid of wisteria and privet, he's probably had an ongoing fight to keep it off his property.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

We have a similar problem here, but with a trumpet vine infestation. Unfortunately we started it by planting one, then realized how much of a problem it would be and tried to kill it off, but it escaped to the neighbor's yard and they didn't care. So now we are the ones putting up an endless fight to stop it from returning to our side. The moral of the story is be careful what you plant, it may come back to haunt you.

[@SondraD7676]

First-rate clearing once again and gaining ground, literally. That foundation does look like a barn. Very similar to my place in Kentucky, tobacco barn corner posts were anchored as such, and the warm house, corn crib, smoke house and well house had like foundations. The spacing of your's might indicate more than one structure. A working farm required a lot of buildings. Enjoyed!! ❣️❣️👍👍

[@peggyharris3301]

A fella keeps running into cool history moments but that sure takes extra time. Is your tractor’s injury better yet…😊

[@junejackson7958]

Great progress

[@thomas-i5o7h]

Maybe you could gather up those foundation stones and make a large burn pit with them where you can burn all the wisteria you can gather up ?

[@jeansalutz8422]

I love this picking' music.

[@flyoverurbangarden4315]

Great job.

[@randallan8158]

you ought to take all of the foundation blocks to either use as support for the house or build a field wall to separate sections of the property.

[@MarshaShelley-t3n]

It looks great!!

[@sdhproductions8877]

Perhaps you could use some of the old stones to a fire pit at your camp site.

[@DeadPedalMotors]

I gotta break down and buy a tractor soon. My old Ford finally bit the dust.

[@karenshepler7128]

Hello and looking so very nice and if you have to move the rock maybe you can make a place where you can put a spot to put them and plant flowers in the middle of the rock circle as your very busy but it’s still part of the old Byrd farm thank you for sharing as so nice to see how beautiful the place is 😊😊

[@kepperMN]

Thanks!

[@Zombie-adventures]

Great job

[@gailrockford8914]

Wow, fantastic job!

[@silkedavid8876]

How is the swamp next to the house this year?

[@ppurgett]

Growing up on our farm, we would use rocks & debris we found around property and create fences, helped as fill in low lying areas too

[@sherrilee230]

That might dry up the wet land a little. It looks good

[@KonTikiBea]

how far did that garden wall with the bricks go... could some of those be the base for the garden walls?

[@timothyrussell4010]

i remember from the very first videos way back when you was tryin to get the ford 9n tractor going that place was full of wisteria covering up the outer bildings much progress since then looking way better than before awsome work robert

[@mygrammieis]

lol finds today- Great clean up👏Bravo💯Sooo Thrilled for you

[@KathyHajek]

Let there be light…speaking of light did you get the head light fixed on the tractor?

[@eighmeeloo]

How is the cotton growing?

[@marierobinson2681]

Another good job done

[@marcbrunson6986]

Is the intern being the camera crew? LOL I'm glad you're covering up but I'm one of those who would rather layer up the sunblock to minimize overheating. I only put the jeans on while weed eating ha ha. Wow, such a beautiful piece. That looks great all cut now. I can't wait for the day to see actual greenery growing on the ground ha ha.

[@marilynhemingway5219]

Looking better. Maybe you can collect the foundation stones and build something with them.

[@LucRom-kz5uw]

[@joeoller1592]

I am in Kentucky and have wisteria growing crazy. Also, we have a lot of kudzu which takes over big time.

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

You sure have become an expert using your orange buddy to clear that wisteria . If those trees could talk, I'm sure they would thank you.

[@1beyond]

As I always say. I am loven this

[@MammaBear]

It could be the property line sometimes they use stones as fences

[@gailatkinson1955]

Looks good 👍😊

[@mgrillo2863]

just wondering, when was the last time you sharpened or replaced the blades

[@mandyrandyandy]

Hey Robert, love to watch the transformation from the tractor but just a thought. Have you ever considered using goats to help clear out areas and you won't damage your tractor?

[@thomasc.pellicer1879]

Maybe take the old block to the front and make some kind of a water Feature with solar water pump or old time rock wall in the front. Great job by the way

[@pameladawson4081]

Hello. Will the area that you are clearing now meet up with the large area where you spread wildflower seeds a couple of years ago? If I remember correctly, it was across from your "camp site" where you at one time had a hammock. I remember the "other Robert" jokingly saying he knew what you had been doing, not working. Miss seeing him and Angie. Thank you...

[@jacobdickie6331]

About a year ago you did some videos of the swamp where you got the tractor stuck. Is this video of the same area?

[@ppurgett]

I believe Robert said this was further back on the property

[@mordecaijones1388]

It’s the foundations of the Skunk Ape’s mansion!, as those in the know can tell you Skunk Ape’s thrive in the Wisteria Jungles of Waverly Hall GA. Also it should be noted that the red clays of Georgia combined with the field stones make the best foundations, keep removing the Wisteria I’m sure you’ll catch a look of said Skunk Ape

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Is the Skunk Ape any kin to Pig Boy 😀 ?

[@mordecaijones1388]

……he’s the distant cousin to the Skunk Ape on the side of his mothers, brother’s , acupuncturist, bookie!

[@cclyon]

I've got six acres that need a bit of this but I'm not quite ready to go out and buy a Kubota. 😂

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Maybe rent one or something like it.

What ever happened to Great Uncle Ken?

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Nothing! He's still alive and kicking!

[@georgiawhitworth811]

I love Uncle Ken!

[@mikekimber9528]

What was the vegetation like before it became farmland.? How does that compare to the farm before you began clearing it? When was the wisteria introduced?

[@barbaradavis7400]

Yes. Yes metal detect

[@loiscain7796]

Have you found any more rattlesnakes on the OBF?

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺🌺

[@larrysiverly1675]

Hey Robert What happened to Uncle Ken Is he still alive

[@raecrowe9514]

Have often wondered why you don't just poison the larger wisteria at ground level. Wound the vine with an ax or something then pour a thin paste of table salt, industrial 30% white vinegar (Home Depot), and just enough water to make it pourable. All natural and it works. Just don't get it on anything you don't want to harm.

[@timothyrussell4010]

hows your family doin havent seen em in awhile in ur videos hope all is well

[@thirzapeevey2395]

You might need to get a few calves to help keep that cleared out. Or maybe some goats.

[@mhale-mi9iy]

Unbievable how bad the wisteria is there. I don’t blame u for hating it.

[@truckracer16]

cletus rides again!!!!

[@danriceman7533]

I like your hat but those shades man...yikes. woods are looking good man.

[@ninaellyson814]

I’d leave the fencing. Just put a livestock gate on it. You may want animals back there one day. The fence looks like (from what I could see if it) it is in good shape.

[@DustPuzzle]

Perhaps a GPS App to record foundations, etc, you can map out on the property. LOL, don't ya wish you had rented some goats and kicked back watching greenery disappear on those hot days.

[@janamathis4729]

Well now you need to sit somewhere cool and drink a nice cold beverage of choice.

[@stephleto12]

You should invest in some goats, they eat almost anything! maybe it’ll help maintain the weeds and brush

[@harvestmarymoon9453]

I made that mistake planted whisteria in my front yard on my fence it took my cedar trees and had to hire them to cut it out a costly mistake i will never make again 😂✌🏻

[@kathywalker6915]

Maybe the foundation pieces are from Pigboy's house.
