Holy Crap that's a lot of lime!

I'm in Juniata county. Not strip mine but I have extremely rocky soil. To the point where there is nothing left but rocks after I dig the hole. I just get some potting soil and mix back in with some rocks. Haven't lost any yet.

Ha I tried that once. It doesn't work too well if the water stays frozen forever. And does it ever stink in the spring. I've heard the hydrogen peroxide paste works really well. I used the regular weak stuff from the grocery store. You almost have to build something to get it to sit right...

That's what I do too. It works really well if you don't mind waiting til the spring.

I was told that the birds have finally figured out that they can eat them. I have nothing to back that up but I know they weren't nearly as bad here last year as they have been the last few years. I have them at my property but have not seen them on any fruit trees. Just some random oaks.

Thanks!

This is my first year with any bug problems and weirdly they only attacked certain trees. Other nearby trees were completely untouched.

Will a chinese/dunstan chestnut pollinate an american chestnut? I have what I think is an american chestnut growing on my property albeit it's in a terrible spot at the base of a large oak. But it's too big too move and I'd prefer to not cut the oak and it's in a bad spot to be cut. Power...

I had a few trees on the verge of dying. Either randomly or insects eating all the leaves off. But I need to wait until spring to see what's still alive and might make it before I buy anymore. haha. No room.

Been lugging mine through the woods for 34 years now.

If you cut a trail be prepared for the deer to use it. I cut a bunch of trails for access across my property and the deer use all of them. I'd cut a main trail for the deer to use through the middle of your cover. Maybe plant clover on it. Then have access trails that dead end at your tree...

In PA every Walmart, Tractor Supply, sporting goods store sells corned marked as deer corn and various BOB baits and we're a no baiting state (minus the philly suburbs) plus I'm in a CWD area so we're not allowed to even feed deer before/after season.

A guy that works for me bought a Gardepro Cell Cam and loves it. I haven't tried anything other than the E5 or E5S.

Oof was on rutcation all week and didn't see what was going on. Taking a bath on almost everything. Yikes.

I sold what little I had at $4600. Was thinking about dipping back in though
