    Paying $20 for 50lb bag of seed rye locally. I mix in some feed oats too. Always germinated nomatter whose o bought. About 16-20lb a bag. Durana is worth it, so is patriot.

    Crabapple timeline

    Bought 3 on B118. Wanted a decent tryout for b118. Tried grafting (3) b118 onto kerr last year, one failed and the other died, leaving 1 to try on low pH sandy soil. Would prefer another tree, but was only zone 3 option where I have an existing order of rootstocks.

    Kerr crabs

    Letting ones i think are particularly good grow to maturity. Other will grow a year or two, then use scion for top work to see what hey are. Then use seedling rootstock bottom for known scion variety topworking. Might make a whole row of g890 at home. Right by my bow spot

    Kerr crabs

    You taste those? When do they drop? I topworked kerr onto a droptine on anty this year. Had 1 cherry sized fruit. Took a bite, not bad at all. Kept the seeds. Trying to figure out what to do with seedling tryouts. Might do a 75 yard row of B29 on a trellis for guinea pig scions. Grow...

    Neighbor situation. (What to do)

    A few time lapse cameras on the field. IF he is using your property, then you got proof. Wouldnt put anything fancier than rye in there. Maybe start a screen planting for next year. He a big hunter, or shoot the first thing type of guy.

    Establishing new plot in spring

    There is balances to nutrients in the soil. The big balancer of magnesium is calcium Most of us use lime to increase pH and add calcium. You got 6.9. IF the soil down a bit deeper is lower pH, adding lime is a bad idea. Gypsum is calcium without ushing the pH up. Thinking this is what...

    Establishing new plot in spring

    You doing tillage? Potassium is hard to move down into the soil, it goes slowly. Adding potash before discing or rototilling is the fastest way. Predominate weeds usually say something about your soil. Might be a great SD question for him. pH of 6.9, you may want a bit of sulphur. Some...

    The hunting cabin

    IF you can get to the pipe, put a grey water system in. More or less dig a hole, fill with rocks, run as much as you can to it instead of tiolets. Shower, kitchen sink, and laundry would probably slow that tank down to 5 years. Setup the winterizing drins too. Pipes downstream of drain...

    Crabapple timeline

    You can make tree planting a bit easier. Some folks dig a bigger hole to ammend the soil. It can be done months before planting. Get the materials down there by each tree ahead of time. Mulch, wedmat cut, cages cut n formed.. At bare minmum, if you need lime spread it in the area in the...

    Alfalfa monoculture next year Z4

    Might want top hold a bit longer into early summer to spray things dead. IF doing tillage, do a week or two ahead, then spray young weeds dead, then seed.

    Frost Inc 50 gal UTV sprayer review

    Very nice setup. What pump is on that setup? 15 gal fimco is still alive after 5 or 6 years. homemade 2 nozzle boom, bought a larger strainer for the pump inlet. Got a spare pump for it, never needed it yet. Only recent failure was at camp, the power switch. A big plus for folks who use...

    Live from the stand thread

    The rut seemed to start a bit late this year. Quiet during bow and just started to get the deer moving when rifle started last week. Thinking december's 2nd rut is going to be good for late rifle and muzzleloader. Not much luck in harvested beans at the big property. Giving the smaller...

    Tricked out turty turty

    Took my glenfield 30 with swift scope for a walk in public land Sunday. Was thinking I should have a period correct scope base on it. Got one of those 1 piece aluminum modern ones. Any suggestions other than that 10ft tall weaver one you can see the iron under it. Was thinking maybe those...

    Kerr crabs

    SLN claims to be very organic, no fertilizer, mulch, etc. Not sure if the original owners was like that. Ill have to check their catalog at my office tomorrow. Somewhere they said they're all Siberian crab for this year. Or maybe starting with this years rootstock they use. They have...

    Crabapple timeline

    This might interest folks following sandbur's interests. https://mnhardy.umn.edu/apples/varieties I feel kerr is a lot like whitetail crabs crossbow. I wonder what happens if you plant the graft deep. If I recall you need at least 4 inches below for it to become a seedling.

    Tristar Shotgun?

    You said it, shouldered perfectly every time.......... I don't shoot trap n skeet like I used to. But, skeet folks enjoyed their 28 gauges. IF your quick on birds, it can do ok in trap. But, it is lacking there. Was a grouse n pheasant shooter. I don't think I ever pulled a trigger on...

    Misplaced Orchard

    I used to use cardboard. Used it for other trees too. One day I saw 2 crows. One was lifting up the cardboard while the other was picking bugs from under it. They even took turns. I do hybrid weedmats. I use 3ft round mats with an inch of crushed stone. Then use wood chips with no may...
