Tree Rings, Angry Ants and Grumpy Goats! 🌳🐜🐐

[@pam6204]

Thank you both so much. Thank you Jason for joining Janey in the garden. I love how you say 'Our garden". You are a family team.

[@lesellen7850]

Jason is a natural...balances the excitement of Janie with the calm of Jason. IMHO.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Remember to add the info about keeping the root flair of tree clear!!!!!!

[@maureenb1109]

I think Jason found his calling he is such a gardening guru now 😊❤️🌸

[@alcg3981]

I agree Janey, larger diameter would look better😊.

[@krisleonard1428]

Jason you are becoming a natural! Great video! Glad to see you have joined the gardening knee savers group! It helps a ton!

[@bettenotap4791]

You don’t want to add dirt close to the trunk of the tree. If you want to add nutrients, you’re better off adding it out by the drip line of the canopy above. Changing the level of dirt under mature trees by the trunk and even under the canopy can actually kill it by reducing the air they must have, it smothers them. A lot of your viewers will think they can add dirt and plants in the ring. You’ll have a dead tree. My son is a certified arborist, this I know. He’d cringe seeing those tree collars pounded in. I suggest you talk to an experienced certified arborist Janey, or it’s easy to research yourself.

[@beckynett]

I came to see if anyone was discussing exposing the root flare of the trunk. Bringing soil, compost, plants, mulch, etc. up high enough to cover the root flare will degrade and slowly kill trees.

[@annwoleben5439]

Nice job, Jason. Your explanations are clear and concise. Grumpy goat is hilarious - a temper tantrum in the making!

[@peggy-ann1961]

Jason is such a great addition to the team…he’s a natural and I’m always glad to see him do a video! 🇨🇦👏🇨🇦

[@care15711]

First time I’ve screamed, “no don’t do it” while watching your awesome videos. Not a fan of tree rings at all. If it stops putting mulch against the tree trunk, then maybe but seems like a waste of time and resources. Always still learning.

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

Jason, I’d check with a tree arborist from your area. I’ve always been told that the tree roots are the size of the tree itself.. plus metal which is coming to rust around a fruit tree which y’all will be gathering g fruit to eat. Just a thought..

[@debsmith8102]

Enjoyed seeing handsome Jason today❤❤

[@ranchhomeliving]

Oh, my goodness! The goat was hilarious!!!! 🤣

[@romafoster473]

I think all of the sharp points hammering into the tree roots wouldn’t be good for the tree. I like the look of just the mulch raked away from tree trunk and no rings. Just my opinion but I do love all you have done, just beautiful!🥰

[@SusanMiddleton1]

I agree. I can’t see the point and I’d worry about the roots. With my trees, the big roots are very close to the surface and this tiny ring would not do the trick.

[@SusanMiddleton1]

It seems to me this is a product that is unnecessary. I can understand it on the paths but the raised edge is a tripping hazard in my opinion. I can’t imagine using it between a garden bed and lawn - tripping hazard and hard to edge the grass without whacking the steel edge. Nope.

[@SusanMiddleton1]

@@bettenotap4791 Agree

[@VirginiaFlowers]

I can see using the tree rings on a young newly planted tree, but seems unnecessary for an established tree of this size. The rings are also disproportionately small compared to the size of the tree so it looks a little odd. You're also potentially damaging the surface roots of the tree. I'd suggest removing and keeping a natural look around the tree.

[@tahoe13868]

Jason rocks!! What a great partner, collaborator, videographer, hubby and daddy!!

[@sarah4958]

Jason did a great job, but I prefer the natural look and wouldn’t want my trees to look constricted . Glad you noticed the five foot diameter rings would be a better look 😊

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

You’ve got skills Jason! The tree rings make things look nice and tidy. I think planting some Surefire Red Begonias in the rings could be quite charming. Mini flower gardens within your large flower gardens! 🌺🇨🇦

[@cindyannefontenot]

“The goats are listening” or “The goats are watching me” would be funny shirt messages…. 😂

[@Peoniesandpinks]

🎵I always feel like, somebody’s watching me🎵

[@21NoNo]

"Not my goat" 😂

[@kfetter9046]

Hahahahaha! Those goats were so funny with their indignant glares! Hysterical! 🤣🐐🐐

[@camicri4263]

Great job Jason! Blessings to you all!

[@joannechapman8455]

You and Jayson are an wonderful team! I enjoy watching both of you 😊

[@rachelbarth1271]

Love the grumpy goat! I also have metal edging on some of my garden beds and have admired the tree rings. Thanks for sharing

[@jenniferjefferson7791]

I love your conversation with that goat at the end!! 😂😂😂

[@lesliesorensen3215]

Jason is great! Very good teacher. 👍🏻

[@kcook2256]

Janey I wanted to mention about the bracelet for mosquito bites. I tried them and didn’t seem to notice a difference. But I heard coconut oil works great . So I tried the coconut oil and I was amazed. I put it on like lotion while wearing short sleeves and shorts. Those mosquitoes didn’t bother me while I worked in the yard😊. So consider giving it a try for yourself. Hope it works for you too.

[@evelynwashington2840]

How wonderful to see Jason on camera.

[@gelinda2718]

Wow Jason tree rings looks great and you did a fantastic job on the video , Janey girl go on back to bed sleep in Jason has got this!

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Nice job Jason. Janey now that the tree ring is in and the leaves are pulled away from the trunk you could also dust the area with food grade diatomaceous earth.

[@taiholiman961]

Jason Killing it!!! 💪 You can sprinkle cinnamon around the tree to keep the ants away. Tried and True method!!

[@gospel533]

I love when Jason takes over! So nice to see him on camera. Good job Jason.

[@tammaytapia7269]

Jason you did an awesome job.

[@julietaylor9638]

Janey, ants also will feed off of scale, which can be a problem on citrus. So check your tree limbs and branches.

[@echomountain3370]

Great job Jason, both on the edging and video!

[@megwyeth2143]

Jason is getting comfortable being on camera. He has gotten so good. I love watching your family develop your property and work together.

[@CarolynRedpath]

Thank you both so much for showing the tree rings and about the ants and aphids! I had never heard the “mutual admiration society” ants and aphids have for each other 😂😂♥️♥️🌸🌺🌳

[@jenmazz1257]

Love the video title 😂😂 🌳 💍 😡 🐜 🤬🐐 and Monty supervising Jason 😂😂

[@eileenhugelier4095]

Oh larger rings would be so much better!

[@-sstevens5444]

...Thinking the ring is only to keep the mulch away from the tree crown, to stop smothering and rotting.

[@mariale7821]

That goat is hilarious 😆 she’s entertaining.

[@darlenepeace9578]

Great job Jason and Janey ❤❤

[@bevjensen2278]

Monty seems to love to chew a lot of sticks and mulch....does he poop mulch? LOL, I seriously wonder that.

[@marybeth4002]

What a nice surprise that was - waking up and Jason already tackled another project. Looks great, and so easy! Aphids and ants - gross, but necessary information. Thanks!

[@medinasod2013]

Jason's becoming a natural. The two of you are a good team

[@Tarot_Time_with_Belle]

Great video as always Janie. Sound is off those. Very tinny

[@debs-more-plants]

Wow. That is cool edging. I also had no idea that ants/aphids did that. Great job by a great team!

[@odemonet]

Jason has become a natural! Nice to see you both working together. The goat at the end was hilarious. “She’s in a bad mood” lol

[@simplybloom]

Looks great Jason! I had no idea that those little pests would cause so many issues. I’ve been trying to grow citrus seedlings and I’ve had so much trouble with pests and spider mites I’m about ready to toss them. Luckily my brother in law lives in Arizona and he is my citrus supplier 😂

[@karenkincaid174]

Great tag team with hubby today!

[@kathystoner8916]

Janey you could use one of the taller EdgeRight tree rings to create a quasi raised planter for your Hydrangea back by the chicken coop.. also would work well for Mangaves, Agaves, Aloes etc . My Agave ovatifolia rotted last winter and something like that would have been a great solution for me.

[@SandiesOrchids]

It looks good the only thing that I would be concerned with it going to the roots.

[@originalchoochoo]

I thought tree rings were bad for trees.

[@KimatRevAcres]

Jason, great installation video and Janey thanks for the introduction to ant bait and how to control aphids. You make a great team!

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

Great job, Jason and Janey! You both have a wonderful sense of humor, and you're making gardening fun for your viewers and the grumpy goats! 🤣😂

[@adriancleckler]

He is such a keeper!

[@how2house]

Jason deserves a raise!

[@8829agua]

Good morning, Nice surprise Jason!!! Love seeing how very comfortable on camera. Thank you for showing us how to install edging under the trees. Great video! Janey you make a great team. 🪻🌳

[@LauriOrkney]

Perfect! Physical therapists turned gardeners 💕 (🐜there are lots of ways…..squish them and wound them and spray off with water. They are smarter than us…we are in their home. Encourage them to move on🧐 they work hard,so we have to also. They will always be here.

[@Cindy-ss7hn]

Hi Janey looks like Mumma goat 🐐 is about to give birth, I think you'll have more eyes 👀 watching you soon with arrival of kids

[@Gardenmimi1950]

Great job Jason

[@karenchisholm623]

Thank you so much for the information about ants and aphids.

[@helenazzopardi1713]

Great info Jason

[@Caribbeanstylett]

Monty looks like a full time employee❤

[@Blake.Cooper]

Janey, you have great taste! Most of all, with finding a gem of a husband. What a champ!

[@jeangravette7007]

I just love that Jason is a part if the DWPR Team now!!! Y’all are just precious!!! Love that you take us along with this journey! You teach us so much!!! Amazing that you have been in this property leas than a year!!! Great Job guys!!!!

[@serenadextermonroe152]

LOL! That goat at the end! TO FUNNY!

[@sherimatthews2958]

Y’all are doing amazing and are a great team! If I may suggest another method after having done the tape and sticky methods, plant things that attract ladybugs 🐞 like cilantro, dill and parsley and let them go to flower. The flowering is what attracts the ladybugs and they will make babies and take care of all your aphids in your veggies and flower gardens, including roses. This year I did this and it was the best result I saw after MANY aphids. Now I have MANY ladybugs and no more aphids. It’s fantastic!

[@nancybaldridge2137]

Great info Jason!

[@meowywest2497]

I love how Jason refers to your garden as your garden, not property. I’ve never understood why you and Robbie say property instead of your home or garden. Great info and video!

[@jessiekidwell670]

I’m from Indy and if I was to explain the size of our yard I’d say our property. Maybe it’s a regional thing.

[@MyFocusVaries]

I know our relatives in England refer to their whole property as their garden. In Canada, we refer to our property as our yard, and only the planted areas as the garden.

[@tonyahatch1400]

Thank you so much for the aphid/ant lesson! I have three beautiful crepe Myrtle trees, and never know that’s what the sticky stuff was on my car! 😳🤢 I checked my trees, and sure enough….ants! 🐜 Know I know what to do to correct the problem! One question- won’t other things like lizards get trapped in the sticky stuff??

[@AQTGirly4U]

This is SO TIMELY! I was literally just shopping for something like this yesterday and on the Edge Right site bonding if this is what you had used!!! Thanks for this video! ❤🌳❤

[@angiemorian4956]

Informative video! The goat's legs at the end..hysterical!

[@wonnikasanrokijat1520]

The goats are so funny❤

[@derondadozier1938]

Yep u better watch that Jason it just might be garden with Jason...u snooze u lose ...lol...he does a good job I know ur loving his help ...love the video's I watch everyday !

[@marciar8909]

This was such a nice video. Would love to save for some edge right. They are so pretty. I’m so enjoying watching your property transformations. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@camillesouthwell3161]

Looks really neat and tidy,great job Jason ❤😊

[@gildaibarra2540]

Such a beautiful man, enjoy channel and all of the great information keep it up Janie and Jason !!!

[@cathywright4133]

This was the best info from you both. Thank you both for creating such an amazing channel

[@KP-gw5zv]

Good morning. Jason did a great job and the trees look complete with the rings around them. I do have to agree that Jason is wonderful when he is on video. Makes so easy and pleasant to listen and understand what is going to get done. I feel that the 2 feet ring around the tree is fine. You don't need a great big space around the base of the tree 2ft is perfect to keep the crown of the tree exposed and not buried. Why don't you do all the branches just to be safe instead of waiting on the other branches. Anyways love the video and just how you both work as a team.

[@vickiemifflin2854]

Great information about the ants and the sticky residue they leave behind. I’ve had that on a couple of plants and thought it was some type of insect but didn’t know which one. Also, the goat made me laugh. So cute.

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Jason is a natural, awesome information Jason, it looks great. I just love y'alls channel.❤❤

[@sandyschipper5008]

Great job Jason! Its always so helpful to have a partner helping with garden projects. One person seems to shine at certain "chores," which you have shown us in so many videos where you shine! Its always a pleasure to hear you explain and show us your projects. I spoke to you briefly at The Greenery event asking how weird it was that people say "Hi Jason" like they know you but you don't know them. I was one of those people and kinda felt weird doing it but you were very nice and said you were getting use to it! Anyway, enjoyed this video! And great advice/ insight on proper equipment for the jobs you are doing!

[@bonniewilliams5471]

My sister put the big ring on a berm around her tree. It is so pretty! I agree the five foot ones would look better in your large spsce. Good job, Jason.

[@taragoodloe4122]

Awesome job Jason! I love how you explain things. Did you edit this video? Love the music as well.😊

[@lrogers707]

thank you - [in our vicinity] tie pipe cleaners together around the trunk and place the 'tanglefoot' on the pipe cleaners...

[@ibisalvira9725]

very nice I believe you should double them they look a little small around the tree ...just saying ...

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey 🌺. Nice work Jason and Janey and these tree rings are wonderful .what this gout it made me laugh like she was dancing . Have a great day . 🌺🌻🌺

[@marialmartinez5955]

I love you guy working together like a team. Janey you aré so lock to have you husband working with you. 💯👍🌺

[@carlenanatouf7298]

I am nursing two small lemon trees someone gave me, it has ants farming a really bad scale infestation. Zone 9B, too. I would rather deal with aphids

[@trishrobinson1523]

Wow, that’s wicked looking tree ring! I cannot believe how much you guys have done already. You are just coming up on a year and it looks totally different.

[@debbymcrae642]

I had noticed that Jason was wearing knee pads and am so proud of him! Am glad you are trying to take care of your bodies with the right tools and body mechanics ❤

[@lisathomas6083]

Janey, you and Jason make a great team ... my husband and I enjoy learning from you both. Janey, your garden fashion is exactly what I need ... please tell me where you get your striped button up shirts. 🌱🌻

[@abeerali7834]

Great job Jason! 👌👏🏼💕 Janey I’m glad you got some rest. I found ants on my tree last year, appeared to be an entire colony inside the soil layers. There was sticky stuff on the leaves that attracted the ants. Inspected the tree and leaves thinking aphids, but nope. Found small black circular hard shell dots under leaves. Upon research, found out that they were Scale Insects. They’ve done a lot of damage to my plants as well, especially my Canna lilies which apparently is what attracted them the most. So please inspect you Calla lilies and everything around that tree.

[@ShelbyJolicoeur]

The silver lining to you hurting your foot is Jason picking up the camera.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Fantastic job Jason 🥰 oh the goat 🐐 is so cute 💞

[@sunshinethrutheice8554]

Monty is a Quality Control Inspector 🤣🤣🤣

[@BarbaraJohnson-n3n]

Well good morning jason what a pleasant surprise you are becoming a novice. You did a great job one would think you have been doing this all along. Monty was on the job as usual. That boy is meticulous just like his dad everything to perfection. Glad you got to sleep in Janie. Have a blessed day the Oklahoma gardener.😊

[@RachelTsTime]

Go Jason go! I love it ❤

[@frenchie7138]

Thank you for this video, something has been eating my plans , could not figure it out after seeing your video I checked a tree near where we are having the problem and there were the ants going up the tree guess what I ordered Thank you

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

Go Jason!!!

[@bethreisman8869]

I just tried the Saran and sticky stuff on my desert Willow before 😂 saw your video . Unfortunately the bark is rough not smooth so getting secure contact isn’t happening. 🥴 And frankly it’s a sticky mess. I’ll see if it works but it’s not an easy and tidy process. We’ll see…

[@kimpaynter]

Nice job ❤ I watched another gardener tie pantyhose around trunks and put Vaseline on the top of the pantyhose to catch the ants or whatever insect
