Once in a generation, a mind comes along, a mind that understands more than the average person,

and is more than willing to share his knowledge.

From trees to food plots to fertilizer, Dudley Phelps knows so much that he has forgotten more than he remembers and now he gives you the chance to ask the burning questions in your mind.

It's time for Ask Dudley.

Hey, this episode is brought to you by none other than native nurseries.

You can check it out, native nurseries.

Yeah, I'll work there.

All right, so they brought us back for episode 3 of Ask Dudley.

They're letting us keep doing this, what do you think?

I'm glad.

I mean, I've been unloading tree tubes off a truck for the last hour and a half so this is a lot a lot cooler in here that's right we're like in hoodies right now we're kind of cold in the office so man we have been so busy these

last several weeks that we haven't we've been trying to get this on like a bi-weekly

schedule we haven't been able to do that I think that people will forgive you and me for that.

Yeah, we just need to keep rolling with it.

All right, Dudley, what is this episode about?

It's a lot of, a lot of wildflower,

Yeah, yeah. Why do wildflowers matter?

they are, or the population in general is becoming to understand more about how important those kinds of ecosystems are.

The early successional habitat with grasses, wildflowers.
