That will be my project for next year. I can't access their website from here, and I have a lot of mast trees to graft and plant this year. Plus I have a big food plot project planned. But next year will be shrubs and conifers. Maybe even some switch if I can get the ground cleared. If 100...

I bitch about any politician who does things I don't Ike, and I praise them for things I do like. I think I've been pretty fair and consistent in that. I don't really care about anything other than how they do their job. They're our employees, and we should view them as such.

I could use some Concordia if you don't mind sending them. I can pay shipping and packaging.

Donyou know what hardiness zone Concordia oaks tolerate? I can't access MDC's website from my IP address, and other websites list as low as 3 and as high as 5.

My Spring tom didn't gobble. Made sort of a honking sound. Maybe he's autistic:

Leverage and no restrictions on taking out money.

It depends on how you water. If you water a small amount often, the water stays shallow, encouraging the roots to stay shallow. Conversely, if you water seldom and deep, the water drains through the soil, and the roots follow it down.

Nice. I'll check that out, thanks.

Tree growth/production is limited generally by 3 factors: moisture, nutrients, sunlight. You can't do much about sunlight for a tree planted outdoors. But if you make sure it doesn't lack moisture and nutrients, you'll get the most growth possible. There's some nuance to it, but basically...

Well now I have to go to Virginia and splash out some cash in their tasting room. Any suggestion for when is the best time to visit?

Have you considered some of the apples that have pear-like flavor? I'm thinking about grafting a few of them to get some pear notes in a cider, and conceivably blend them with actual pears to make a good balanced cider with significant pear flavor. A lot of commercial pear ciders are generic...

I'm going to plant extra Wickson trees and some day make a single varietal cider with it and champagne yeast. Then I'll chill it to 32 degrees and serve it in a frosted glass on a hot summer day. That's one of my lifetime goals for my orchard work. Another goal is to make an extra...

There are a lot of tricks you can use to sweeten cider. Sorbitol is interesting because it also gives a different mouthfeel to the drink. You can try keeving, which is restricting nutrients so the yeast gives up before the fermentation is done. It's not easy, and keeved ciders are expensive...

Try using some string to tie the food from the feeder to a circle hook. Get 3 or 4 people to cast at the same time. They should slam the food without thinking. You can use another type of hook if you don't mind gut hooking a food fish.

Throw a dollop of fresh whipped cream on there, and it's almost a keto version of my favorite Norwegian dessert: tilslørte bondepiker.

Found buckets for $1 from a manufacturer in Vandalia. Sweet!

Hmmm. That might be a better option for me. I can't get buckets for $2 on Marketplace.

I think I'll buy some of those bags. Looks like a great option for me.

Israel is not an enemy to Lebanese Christians. Christianity was the dominant religion by far in Lebanon until wave after wave of Muslims starved out Christians and waged war against them. And who were the latest group of Muslims to attack Christians and Jews in Lebanon? Ah yes, the...

Well I'm glad they managed to export the corn. I'm worried about what this year will bring with high fertilizer priced and farmers avoiding beans. Time will tell. I have a lot of faith in our farmers.
