Hippie Certified
That’s how I learned
I found the dirt
I got a lot of it from my grandmother
I used to volunteer with her by a nature center
to vol
she would bring out snakes
do demonstrations and teach people about the snakes
video was posted about me
your grandmother would be so proud
be with her in the nature center
flowers and gardens and roses
I didn’t realize that was such a big impact

Arthur/The Hippie/ Jr
born 87.
I shared
I’m a H town baby
Im 31
in between here and Galveston
I’ve been in lawn care and tree service
how can I learn something and grow as I learn
lawn-care seemed to be something that would keep me moving
where I hate to sit still
that doesn’t work very well
spray some weed killer
get very sick
I’m gonna get older one day
I don’t want to tell
every since I did
it’s been
such a wonderful thing
so I can do something positive
educate others
importance of our environment
ecology
supporting soil biology
environmentally
support
we
how
heres what you do
a lot of people don’t like my answer in the beginning
why do you want to kill it
most have benefits tot eh soil
silly commercials
want you to buy their stuff
it’s not worth it
alright
how do you
a good way to start this
well molasses coffee
consistent rate of nitrogen
roses
azaleas
other acid
I have a
typical
32 oz resevoir
8 oz of molasses
spray it on anything
won’t hurt anything
If you think your following an organic program
read that package
if it says you can’t touch it with your
they can’t handle stuff
5 times more affected by it
pets
before I started hippie ferry
I had a lawn company
I had a customer
using organic
let me explain this to you
you want me to poison
with the weeds
I heard her pause for a moment
I could hear in her voice it clicked
your little
feed soil first
relax guys
my lawn is killing me
So, to go on to how to feed soil biology
what i’ve heard of
humic acid
it’s amazing
it’s true
weren’t using
it’s a by product
typically from what’s called
chelates minerals
opens up clay
neutralizes toxins
benefits are such a long laundry list
couldn’t explain it all
make a whole script
serious stuff
good fro theres
good for roots
boost fungal activity in soil
people get freaked out
bacteria
fungus
nasty
we see 3-4 types that are bad
100s that are good
before you
are you even working on feeding the good stuff
humic acid
plant based amino
alfalfa meal
cottenseed meal
soy bean
soy fertilizers
they’re ok
better then a big brand
chemical fertilizer
plant based amino acids
don’t smell like manure based
I’m not against
AJ you do organic fertilizer
poultry
diluted well
it’s excellent
more of a true slow release
here a lot about that
I used a slow release fertilizer
never heard of a soil release red bull
there’s not really a quality slow release chemical fertilizer
organics
they have to be utilized and eaten up by bacteria
if you did a google search right now
how
It may be invasive
just starting to learn about native plants
just learning about prairies and wetland
get more knowledge
emphasize hey
pointing at your neighbor
environmental green space
on 4000 square feet of turf
1” per week
that equals up to almost
9920 gallons in one month
let’s take another look
if we can absorb
if we can 8” in a single day
that’s over 27,000 gallons on that same turf
In
I’m
It
Hurricane harvey
devastated
well it has’t rained for
we’re gonna get 6 weeks of a drought it’s gonna drive up
passion and love
soil biology
how much it can take a load off of our infrastructure
if we could absorb 27,000
if you could handle so
we don’t it’s definitely not freezing here like 3 days
feed it
more you build up soil structure
more porosity
absorbability
longer you let your grass grow
in my area of Texas
log of st adjusting grass
want to cut it down to 2”
if you read better info out now
best height to cut your grass is 4 inches
tell my customers
it’s not a golf course grass
it’s a lawn turf grass
naturally choke out weeds
more you let that grass grow
digging into that soil
further they open it up
pull that water down into there
the longer that it is
raining buckets
the longer that grass is
the more plant diversity in your lawn
break up that
heavy heavy rain
broken up
the more you feed your plants
clover is amazing stuff
naturally pulls nitrogen into the soil
legume
it used to say sow clover into your land
we just kill it
dandelion
like little oil rigs
mining up calcium and other minerals
soil again
deep tap roots
plant diversity
less likely you are to be affected
trench bug
worms
sod
couldn’t have just sod
didn’t have just st auguring
Chinese bug issues
create a situation where we have more problems
AJ why do you drive a diesel
can’ pull
with
honda civic
or a smart car
I can’t use one
won’t pull 20k pounds of soil
we ave silly expectations
I want it to be weed free
raining for like 2 months straight here
can’t stand it as well if you have different plants
feed different
its something that most people don’t know about
crab grass
also mining up calcium
through their
plant food
feeding the plant as much as we think
fungi
bacteria
more
you have
essentially building up a super strong immune system
I think it’s wonderful to have a beautiful lawn
mix it up so we can build off
I’m sure there is special practices
top
low maintenance
support
butterflies and bees
help our our ecosystem
emissions from gas
weed-eaters
better absorption
that doesn’t
help out with blood pressure
more stress you have
can affect your joints and whole body
flowers and different plants
better blood pressure
ecologically
economically
our true green version of a lawn
I just let my backyard go nuts
The thing that I have learned
something that helps seeds start is fungal activity
Start with a little flower mix
quality compost
vastly different then what you are going to
mulch that hasn’t been aged comp
aged property
has a beautiful bio-diversity
plant flowers
vegetables
anything
I’ll tell you all the time
use compost
drastic
I have my own compost in my own backyard, only use it at my house
don’t use it in my customers
if I’m doing some transplanting
r
I didn’t cover my
because of compost
everyone who doesn’t have the space or time
I get my stuff
ground up
manufacture
nature’s way resource
both have quality
new earth
quality soil and compost products
I would guess if you are all over the nation
quality nursery
quality organic nursery
don’t go ask the dude at home depot or lower
ask the person at your
it’s really expensive to
it is black gold
you asked what I think
What do you think about compost?
quit thinking about it
compost your lawn and salad beds
all year long
can’t do that in summer time
compost is too hot
soil thrive
cools down really quickly
good carbon
at my home we put it all by the sink
I help with this

funny
point out
how to kill pests
what did it do to you

car wrecks
more prevalent or dangerous then a spider or a cockroach
