    Hunt club is sorta waining. Too much BS, too many bugs, too much work. Don't mind biumping elbows with fellow fishermen here in topsail, NC. Starting to learn how to catch bigger fish like barracuda, hammerheads, and kingfish. Even the little guys can be fun to catch too.

    Casted aluminum wheels for a engineering class project way back in 2003. Can you cast brass? Does that process clean enough for silver? I have hand cast brass pieces in the rough I need to clean up for a filntlock build down the road. Might do some silver when I get around to the...

    Repurposing mature trees

    Poison Ivy digs into tree with their little roots on the vine. you need to remove most if not all the vine. Even the top of the vine will survive and feed on the tree. No experience with old pears. Sad to do, but cutting down these old guys is probably the only chance to get some good fruit...

    Propogating red dogwood

    Could be drought stress, could be not enough roots to support the shoots. IF you're caging them, you can use some burlap to shade them. I do that with my grafted apple trees sometimes. IF I recall right, I used 9-12 inch pieces and only had a bud or two exposed above ground. Much like...

    Clover plot help

    Constant clover is a constant battle. If mowed often, I woudn't do medium red, or much of it. LAdino is good for that. Clover alone, after 3 years its a real battle. The fall grains reduces some excess nitrogen weeds will use otherwise. When it seems there's a ton on nitrogen in the...

    Potted apple graft question

    Some might break off, keep as much as you can intact. Plant level, or go deep if you want it to be a full szied seedling. IF you can water them in their permaent home, put it in. Kentucky, I would probably wait mid august or so if you cant water. Northern NY I put them in pretty much...

    Potted apple graft question

    Its like a new node off of a lateral, or making of a new latteral........ I'd lean towards leaving it on in general. More so if the tree is in its permanent home. I feel year 1 is all about roots, then after that make your shape. Since it is in a pot right now, You could clean up the tree a...

    The great value in topworking

    I did 8-12 grafts on 2 trees. A pristine worked to trailman, and a droptine worked to kerr. IF one fails I got plenty of backups. And the next year or two, I have a bnch of maturing laterals. The grafted leader dies, you might be able to use a lateral for the leader. The tree might be...
