I like that sander is talking more in this one. He seems to do a lot, but then it’s we and when it’s you it’s I. It’s a little odd, cz it’s a group project. In this one he chats in more, which is cool. You should take the camera when he talks, take turns. Or he can flip it and talk to us when he explains something. Make it more collaborative. Cz when you are talking about what he did, it would be nice to hear it from him. I don’t know, I hope I’m explaining this properly. I mean this kindly, and hope to enjoy and learn from many more videos. I’d also love to see more of building, plans etc, all really exciting. What an incredible project for friends to do together.

Hastening Stump Rotting Stumps typically take about five years to rot. Remove as much of the stump as possible with a chain saw or stump grinder and then cut, chop or drill holes on top to hold moisture and increase the surface area for snails, termites, fungi and boring insects to destroy the stump. To encourage fungi, mix a teaspoon of 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 fertilizer to enough water to moisten the top of a freshly cut stump, then sprinkle the top with powdered milk. When you see mushrooms pop up, you’ll know the fungi are thriving. Cover the stump with dirt or mulch, and water it occasionally to keep it moist. As the stump rots and settles, add more dirt and a teaspoon of fertilizer. Adding more fertilizer will help preserve the stump, and too much water will reduce the oxygen and slow the decay.

We think we'll be edging the actual garden beds to help prevent the grass and dandelions from encroaching in the plantings, but likely not the grass paths. We like how the paths fade naturally into the "low meadow / future native lawn" (which is how we're referring to the higher grass areas). We may do some interplanting in the 'lawn' area along the paths or in the paths, as some shrubs and trees are there now. Or we may cut out some 1 meter x 1 meter blocks and see what seeds in there. Or interplant with some interesting grasses, sedges, forbs. We'll probably be experimenting quite heavily in the fall and throughout next year on all of that. So do stay tuned! It'll take some time.

We've applied for one grant to regenerate our forest, but unfortunately we didn't get that grant. Supposedly our forest is not "suitable" for regeneration according to the grant makers ( a whole other story ), but we're going forward with regenerating it anyway-at least a piece of it. There's another grant we were looking into to do the meadow restoration, but it would have delayed us by at least a year and required us to use only their meadow mix. So we decided not to go forward with applying for that. We suppose the reality of grants is that they are often slow and not exactly what you want and with no guarantee that you'll get them anyway. So we decided to move forward and hopefully by doing so, we aren't wasting much time. And Sander and I are great friends and have been for about 7 years now.

We cannot comment on all native North American grasses, but obviously grasses can't fulfill their full potential / lifecycle when constantly mowed. But many need at least one good cutting to be maintained over time. And mowing the meadow will allow it to stay as meadow. We're going to be experimenting with different strategic mow-times in the season in the coming year-working closely with a turf grass scientist to do some informal experiments, so we'll be sure to share that along the way. We think the idea of mowing reduction (less of one's time/resources) and increase in wildlife habitat is a win-win all the way around.
