[Music]
00:00:40
so dandelions I saw this week a father
00:00:46
showing his son how to pull out and weed
00:00:49
dandelion and how to throw it in the
00:00:51
garbage and I thought wow is that your
00:00:56
situation are you passing on the
00:00:58
knowledge of how to destroy this plant
00:01:00
to your kids and if so okay let me give
00:01:07
you some reasons you may hate that any
00:01:08
line you see you know I keep getting rid
00:01:11
of it you know what dandelions actually
00:01:14
doing in your yard and why you have it
00:01:18
or why you have a lot where you don't
00:01:19
have hardly any that's what we'll look
00:01:21
at if you have some dandelions it's
00:01:25
really a very useful indicator plant you
00:01:29
see we got a little bit of dandy line
00:01:30
here and it's it's showing you a few
00:01:34
things the first one that you'll usually
00:01:37
see dandelion associated with is your
00:01:39
soil is compacted it's pressed down it's
00:01:42
packed tight and so dandelion have you
00:01:46
ever weeded dandelion you know that big
00:01:48
tap root it's actually trying to doesn't
00:01:53
really drill down but it's trying to get
00:01:54
through the soil so that that soil is d
00:01:58
compacted or loosened so that's what
00:02:01
it's trying to do and you know what
00:02:02
happens when you actually pull it out
00:02:05
and throw out the root it says
00:02:09
sand the second wave you get it send
00:02:14
another weight because it's trying to do
00:02:17
a job and you are pulling it out and
00:02:20
getting rid of it
00:02:21
alright the job's not finished send a
00:02:24
second wave so compaction is one reason
00:02:27
another reason you get it and one of the
00:02:30
reasons we get it here a little bit
00:02:31
still this is nothing show you a picture
00:02:34
of what it looked like when we bought
00:02:36
this place and it was if you bent down
00:02:40
like this all you would see across the
00:02:43
orchard was yellow you wouldn't even see
00:02:46
green well that was certainly indicating
00:02:49
something and I knew then
00:02:51
already what some of the problems are
00:02:53
that it was trying to solve so I knew
00:02:55
our soil here because it's and it's not
00:02:58
really compaction that's the problem so
00:03:01
what else could it be the next biggest
00:03:04
reason you get dandelion is your soil is
00:03:08
lacking calcium and there are not many
00:03:11
plants that are considered calcium pumps
00:03:14
you see this imagine this stem and then
00:03:17
you get a root and then it goes down
00:03:20
down down down and deep into the ground
00:03:22
beyond the range of your grass it can
00:03:26
take that calcium that's down deep and
00:03:29
pump it up into well into the leaves and
00:03:37
into the flowers so by pumping that
00:03:41
calcium up if you leave the dandelion
00:03:44
that dandelion now that's rich in
00:03:47
calcium and these are very rich in
00:03:49
calcium the leaves they will die on the
00:03:53
surface or even if you mow it and if you
00:03:56
mow it and you cut these two tops say
00:03:58
and this is left so if you mow and you
00:04:01
leave it so now these pieces are left on
00:04:04
your surface of the soil what's gonna
00:04:07
happen with them their calcium rich they
00:04:10
will decompose and they will bring that
00:04:13
calcium into your grass and gradually
00:04:16
your sort your soil level of calcium
00:04:19
will go back to where it should be and
00:04:22
then they will have done their job so
00:04:27
that's that's another big reason that's
00:04:29
what we had a real lack of calcium and I
00:04:33
remember the day that I realized Wow
00:04:34
dandy line had done their job it wasn't
00:04:38
roots and it wasn't flour I mean it
00:04:40
wasn't leaves and it wasn't flowers who
00:04:41
was actually the roots and I heard a
00:04:44
scuffle going on
00:04:48
we had geese at the time and I thought
00:04:51
what are they fighting over so much one
00:04:54
of them had pulled up a dandelion root
00:04:56
and the other one wanted it and they
00:04:59
were fighting for a dandelion rooted I
00:05:02
thought wow we used to have a sea of
00:05:06
dandelions why are they fighting over
00:05:08
one root and I have to look around and
00:05:12
realize you know what it's kind of like
00:05:15
this there was very few dandelions left
00:05:18
so they have to fight over it because it
00:05:20
was not many around so I realized wow we
00:05:25
went from complete yellow to well some
00:05:31
of you would say that's quite a lot and
00:05:32
I'll tell you another reason why not
00:05:34
shortly but this is this is had done
00:05:38
their they had done their job
00:05:40
we weren't removing material we weren't
00:05:42
taking out dandelions and so they had
00:05:44
finished their job the calcium levels
00:05:46
were good and we really virtually don't
00:05:50
have dandelions anymore
00:05:53
the other reason that you'll get it is
00:05:56
your soil is too acid and we don't we
00:06:00
have an almost a neutral pH soil here
00:06:02
but if your soils acid it'll encourage
00:06:05
dandelion and let them restore the soil
00:06:11
bounce because they really like a more
00:06:13
neutral level of acidity in the soil so
00:06:15
that's another reason you could leave
00:06:17
them do their job and the last one and
00:06:20
the reason we still have some dandelion
00:06:23
is when you have too much shade for the
00:06:26
grass the dandelion starts to come in
00:06:29
because it's just too shady dandelion is
00:06:31
a spring flower it grows a lot in the
00:06:34
spring takes advantage of the Sun you
00:06:36
see the leaves have just started to come
00:06:38
in on the on the fruit trees and up
00:06:41
until now the dandelion have been
00:06:43
pumping away and building up their
00:06:46
reserves so because they're a spring
00:06:48
plant they use their energy and now
00:06:50
they're not really growing much so
00:06:53
they're done for the season until the
00:06:55
fall and they'll grow back more leaves
00:06:57
in the fall so they can grow where the
00:07:00
grass can't grow grass needs at least
00:07:02
eight hours of full Sun and so now in
00:07:05
here because we've got taller trees we
00:07:09
have a little too much shade for some of
00:07:12
the grass and it thins out and the
00:07:14
dandelion can grow if you're at all
00:07:19
concerned about wildlife and you think
00:07:22
well you know there's frogs and there's
00:07:23
birds but there's a lot of insects
00:07:26
dandelion you ever notice it's kind of
00:07:30
the first one to flower mass a lot of
00:07:33
flowers and it happens to be the most
00:07:37
important nectar source and pollen for
00:07:41
the first insects to emerge in your yard
00:07:44
if you're removing it you're actually
00:07:47
getting rid of a lot of beneficial
00:07:50
insects insects that are trying to get
00:07:54
rid of some pests in your yard maybe and
00:07:56
if you're taking these flowers away
00:07:59
you're chopping them off and you're
00:08:01
weeding them out then what are they
00:08:03
gonna eat
00:08:04
don't go somewhere else so
00:08:06
you want those beneficial insects to
00:08:08
work in your garden so maybe leave them
00:08:12
and let them finish their job they'll
00:08:14
reduce in a few years on their own and
00:08:18
you won't need to use tools or
00:08:20
especially not herbicides to get rid of
00:08:23
them that's the tip for wildlife and
00:08:27
biodiversity now let me show you one way
00:08:32
that you can see the dandelions telling
00:08:36
you at what stage it is is it dominating
00:08:40
the landscape or is it kind of hanging
00:08:43
on because if you let it do a job it
00:08:46
will go from here's a good one
00:08:49
let's look at this one here see that see
00:08:54
that look at the leaves how are they
00:08:59
angled there when you see a dandy line
00:09:02
basically angled like this they're going
00:09:04
please give me some Sun I need some Sun
00:09:07
because well this case it's the shrub is
00:09:10
shading it the grass isn't that thick
00:09:12
and so it's on its last stage it's not
00:09:17
really getting stronger but when you see
00:09:20
dandelion like it is here or here you
00:09:26
see their pattern they are basically
00:09:29
they're dominating they are opened up
00:09:32
and now they can take the whole space
00:09:36
and that's what they do they'll open up
00:09:38
and they dominate means here they
00:09:41
haven't finished their job and I know
00:09:43
that this area is about a little bit
00:09:45
clay in our soil
00:09:47
so because we walk here so much we have
00:09:50
probably compacted this a little bit and
00:09:53
in some places dandelion is finding it a
00:09:56
good place to do some D compaction
00:09:59
here's a really good one completely open
00:10:01
but you see how we see some bare ground
00:10:04
here so it's just filling up bare ground
00:10:07
filling the space covering the ground
00:10:10
because nature hates bare soil where you
00:10:12
can have grass and so it's growing like
00:10:15
this if you see it gradually going
00:10:19
where the leaves close up then you know
00:10:22
that it's kind of finished its job so
00:10:25
look at your situation do you hate these
00:10:28
things or do you love them or if you're neutral
00:10:31
that's okay too but realize that they're
00:10:34
trying to do a job for you for your lawn
00:10:37
for your field for your orchard and
00:10:41
which one are they doing look at where
00:10:44
they're growing are they growing there
00:10:46
because it's too shady for grass if you
00:10:48
have a lot of trees that could be the
00:10:50
main reason are they growing there
00:10:52
because it's compacted because it's a
00:10:55
spot like here in the middle where we
00:10:57
walk a lot and so we're packing the
00:11:00
ground down is it because your soil is
00:11:03
too acid maybe you have a big conifer
00:11:06
and the needles are falling and it makes
00:11:08
the soil more acid that could be a
00:11:10
reason you're having dandelion or are
00:11:14
you actually lacking calcium and they're
00:11:16
trying to pump that calcium from deep in
00:11:19
put it back on the surface where if the
00:11:22
grass has it it has sufficient calcium
00:11:25
and it will crowd out the dandelion and
00:11:27
the dandelions trying to tell you what
00:11:30
it's doing is it Oh Dominic and have all
00:11:34
the space and its leaves are showing you
00:11:36
that it's in the first stage or is it
00:11:38
the last stage where now it's so crowded
00:11:41
by the grass that it has to grow its
00:11:43
leaves upright the plant is telling you
00:11:46
take a look at it learn to listen what
00:11:49
it's trying to do and be thankful for
00:11:52
these little plants that are actually
00:11:53
trying to solve the problems in your
00:11:55
soil so thanks for watching see you next
