pics pretty much tell the story. I tracked down vehicle and called the driver (74 year old grandmother). I requested the girls come apologize and reinstall the signs. In which case is I'd forgive and have much respect for them. They declined that offer. What charges should I be requesting? I'm...

I have some micro woods plots I cleared this spring, planted clover and oats. I've planted clover with oats many times in fall but never spring so mowing the nurse crop of oats wasn't necessary in past experience. At what height should I mow this spring planted crop them to avoid killing out...

I have 3 mailboxes on my property where my road meets a blacktop road. None of which are mine as I don't live there. 2 of the mail box owners don't even have a easement to my private road, their access is a public gravel road which hits the blacktop about quarter mile away from mine. Those...

Anyone else use a moultrie atv spreader? I have one mounted on front rack (sprayer stays on rear) I love the spreader but I have to replace motor annually. Not a big deal for 40 bucks a year. However this year the brand new motor only used one weekend, then washed well and already froze up...

We always talk about habitat, plots, mast bearing trees and cover. How many of you guys are lawn freaks too? Kinda relates other than many plotters dispise grass. I used to be pretty bad about it. I'd only mow in the cover of darkness since it was better for the grass. I'd be spreading or...

A buddy of mine has a mosquito squad that sprays his 2 acre home lot for bugs 4 times a summer and it's amazing how well it works. I'd like this done at my cottage property but unfortunately no franchise exists in that area. Anyone have a diy method that works? A fogger only works so long not...

We have a small pond about 100' by 30'. It's fed by a small 10 foot long ditch connecting to a 400 acre lake. The pond is roughly 3 feet deep on average. Id like a fountain for sounds and to keep it cleaner looking. The wife wants lights in it as well. Any recommendations where to order...

So I've grafted old mature apples by changing branches to different varieties, and have grafted hundreds of bench grafts onto year old rootstock. My question is with 4 or 5 year old dolgo (seedlings not grafted). Can I graft those over to desired variety at about 4 foot high? Any reasons not...

Anyone have experience with a trencher skidsteer attachment? I need to run about 600 feet of water line and electrical through fairly rocky ground. Wondering about investing in a trencher attachment or if im better off buying an older stand alone trencher? Both can be had for about the same...

Just installed a sandpoint well this past week. Great isolation technique as no one would ever visit during that type of fun. It's the 4th one I've ever installed and was the easiest thanks to cool tools I've gained since previous installs. (Skid steer with 10 foot long auger and electric...

Not sure this belongs here but im trying anyways. Last fall I purchased some additional water frontage adjacent our cottage in upper Michigan. Note this as we get frosts into June sometimes July. I have my cottage yard planted in high sugar rye grass with clovers which has been a absolute...

Just a heads up if you ordered from stark I had trees show up today(ordered a few months ago) Exciting to get my Franklin's but now I've gotta go bury them in a snow bank as we are in no way ready to plant in this area. Hopefully grandpa's orchard and northern whitetail crabs is not so quick to...

I've driven past this property a few times lately on my way to a public parcel. Keep hoping to see the owner outside to talk to him but never do and never any tire tracks in his driveway even. Some trees have traditional tubes and others have these white boxes. Looks almost like a plastic...

This is my home property- On the n.e. corner of my property is approx 1.5 acres of woods (blue outline). Has a row of apple trees planted on south edge about 3 years ago. This has a fairly steep decline from the field but gradual goes back up to the larger woods on neighboring property to the...

Rolled the dice and just bought a 20 acre parcel sight unseen. Not even a picture of the land other than Arial images. Figgure I pick public land spots primarily by Google Earth so why not step up the game! Honestly I just don't have any time to look at property this time of year so no choice...
