    Fox Squirrels?

    Squirrels do cause problems for orchards. 15-20 years ago, I shot squirrels for a apple orchard. They paid me for each squirrel and let me hunt bg game too. I only shoot animals if they provide food or are a problem. Might need some trail cameras on the trees next summer. You have any...

    Crabapple trees on reclaimed surface mine

    No personal experience here. A coworker has a home with reclaimed mine like your on a portion of the property. Very tough growing anything there. I'd dig down 2 feet and get soil sample. Do that maybe 10 times. Soil can be quite variable one spot to another. Find out what you got...

    Enclosed ladder stand?

    If you make something and have to work on ladders, make it a safer height. 6-8 ft up can be plenty in many places. Maybe make 8ft platfrom leaning on tree with two 4x4s. also, walmart sells a twenty buck 12v blanket in automotive

    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

    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...
