If you're interested in buying one and learning the process Silencershop, SilencerCentral and other websites have good explanations of the process. Personal purchases come back pretty quick now, while Trusts are slower. I'd expect a surge in January, but I did see some places were already...

Do I need to be a commercial grower to get access to the trees? (Assuming I'm willing to pay the costs)...

Did you incorporate it or leave it on the top? While that seems like a lot, a triaxle holds about 22 tons. So you got two truck loads.

I would lightly amend the hole soil with P and K. I've been doing in for the last 5 years when I'm planting my Blue Hill trees and it hasn't bothered them at all. The soil at our camp has low pH and lacks P and K, too. I've been using the following product and have been happy with it. I loosely...
