My kids say “earth is my planet.” Cuz of your videos. Lol love it!! 😂❤
lol, that's too cute.
Paul I enjoy watching your videos with my grandchildren future gardeners. Thank you for making fun
Fire and burning dead organic material was an important component of land management used by many native peoples. Fire helps increase biodiversity by clearing out space for dormant seeds to grow. It also helps to enrich the soil with charcoal
Hi Paul . Well done .You worked hard and these pretty plants are going to be amazing . Have a great day .🌿
I love your knowledge! You are helping me make my suburban H-town yard more bio-diverse!
That wood ash from the fire is awesome for your fruit tress as a fertiliser.
That is so scary that you found so many privets/ligustrums! I am a huge proponent for native landscape design. As a professional landscape architect in Dallas, TX, I'm committed to fighting for and preserving the natural beauty of our beautiful state of Texas. Removing invasive species is crucial to maintaining the health of our ecosystems and supporting biodiversity. It's inspiring to see efforts like yours that help raise awareness and encourage more sustainable practices. Keep up the great work-it's actions like these that make a real difference!
That plant had some sick flowers, wow! Can't wait to see it bloom
Great video, Paul, as always... I just wish they were longer 🤞 love hearing your knowledge. Earth is my plonnet 😂stay safe ❤
If you plant philodendrons at the base of the trees, in the future the place will look more like a forest, in addition it creates an excellent ecosystem for lizards and tree frogs
Great video. I’m from Minnesota, but lived in Corpus Christi for a few years back in the day. Love seeing the ecological energy you display on your videos!
Crushing it out there per usual!
Elderberry & mulberry have become the foundation of my land clearing and native fruit growing efforts. Not sure how they do in south Texas, but they love growing anywhere and everywhere I've planted them.
Love that we got to see an update!!!!
Perfect (perfect)!
I came for the vocabulary. 🔥
Keep up the great work Paul! 💚
The charcoal from the Burnt wood is a good additive to fertilizer to ! EARTH IS MY PLONIT
Great video , so interesting to see the beautiful flower on the native plant & amazing how fast the lizard tail grew in 2 weeks. Love your videos & the knowledge & humor you provide about the plants
Hi from Durham NC. We love your chonnel. Keep up the good plonet-healing work! We have a shady clay-banked creek running through our yard, and we’ve removed invasives and planted similarly: lizard tail, swamp sunflower, wood oats, wax myrtle, green-and-golds, Illicium, elderberry - everything’s taking off. You are gonna love that lizard tail!
I never thought of using the illicium there, that’s a great idea!! Thank you for the suggestion.
I just love this series so so so much, its just so wholesome and wonderful!!! thank you Paul!
LOVE YOUR WORK BROTHER!
Wow great job, so inspiring to watch! Pretty soon you're going to be propagating even more of these plants yourself I bet!
Enjoy your channel...south central Georgia. Zone 9a
Great video can't wait to see the progress
How exciting. Love this
Love watching! I think it’s great how you are planting new plants on your property.
looking great
Try looking into fruiting plants like dewberry they are edible to humans and other animals, extremely resilient and will take off but it provides shelter for small animals and prefers moist soil, full sun to partial shade
I'm from Edwards Plateau and I grew up next to an acre and a half filled with them if that gives you a picture on how well they can take off (I grew up in a flood plain area)
I think a ton are growing in the food forest area already. Do they have thorns? I thought they were blackberries I’m not sure if dewberries are the same thing.
I planted a million plants on an acre and one thing I wish I would have done was put an orange stick next to it to mark it. I think I pulled up so many when later weeding b/c I forgot they were there.
Also to remind you where things are when/if they go dormant. That is a good suggestion
Can you put up bat houses maybe to help with mosquitos? We have a ton of small bats here that go crazy in the evening eating insects!!
Thanks for the updates!
Yes, the tree cleaning process would be interesting to see…. 🌲 🪚
First time viewer, enjoyed the video!
In future videos, would you mind sharing some identifying characteristics of the invasives you’re removing?
There’s another video on my channel where I discuss them in more detail! But I should do a quick breakdown in each video for sure
Awesome 💪
Great progress so far brother....💪
Content comment for the algorithm gods.

Yooooo love the vids
Is lizards tail the same as fish mint? Love the smell of fish mint when you expose the flesh.

😊
I love the work you are doing. As you add natives that attract birds and dragon flies the mosquitoe population will decline. Don’t know about your area but are there bats there? If so consider a few bat houses. They eat mosquitoes by the thousands.
12:13 RIP sabal minor
It’ll come back. Trust me!
You got alot of space you should try making a vegetable garden with a tiller bro
I have to get the trees out of the way first! That’s a good idea though.
What area did you end up buying at ? How cold does it get there I've been wanting to move from the DFW to the south maybe zone 9a or 9b to grow a semi tropical food forest.
🤩 CAN I HAVE YOU PLEASE 🤩
Iron barrel>charcoal
When are you going to wear a tank top?
Hahahaha, never out there. Too many thorns and mosquitos
Burn the seeds of that invasive tree if it's not too much effort. It can be viable for five years in the soil
Thanks Paul, an enjoyable few minutes. I know you have a lot to do at the new property, but remember we like seeing the house too. Stay safe cutting those larger trees. Gary, Tucson
