I have some pear/crabapples growing in small woods openings of about 0.5 acres, and they seem to be doing well. My question is what would be the minimum size clearing I could get away with? I have a couple true woods food plots, that are only 0.1-0.2 acres (small canopy opening). Right now I...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm getting ready to place a seed order and I want to experiment on my logging roads. It's leased land so I can't cut any trees to open the canopy. I have tried red, white, and durana in the past. They seem to start good, but peter out by summer. I...

I was planting some other trees and noticed I have a black fungus on an Arkansas Black apple tree I planted 2 years ago. If it was a side branch I'd just cut it off, but this is the main trunk. Is there something I can spray it with to treat it? I scraped a small area with my fingernail, and...

I'm going to try the throw and mow method for the first time this weekend. It looks like we might get over half an inch of rain this weekend then none in the forecast for a week. Would you plant or wait for more consistent rain?

I have a couple of small (1/3) acre plots that I was thinking about throwing some WR on this weekend ahead of the rain. Is it too late to get any good germination in NWPA? Fields are already planted with oats/wheat in one and turnips/radish in the other. Just looking to fill in some areas...

I have no choice but to plant my Rye, Clover, Radish, & PTT mix this weekend. Its been very dry this summer, but it looks like we may get some rain late next week. The question is should I just till the fertilizer in with my lime and seed this weekend, or wait until next weekend and broadcast...
