    Rootsuckers for rootstock

    Terry is not rootstock loyal. Likely on different roots. The year I bought 30-06, he had anty, m111, and b118. For me they'd been good on all 3.

    Dogwood time?

    Got plenty of regular ones at home. These are northrup mulberry, they can handle zone 3. Original tree is 80ft tall and from the NY-canadian border. Problem I will have is there both male and female mulberry trees needed to make viable seed.

    Dogwood time?

    First year doing them. However, that's how the plants I bought were made. See the chunk from the year before, a shoot from the chunk, and roots coming from the chunk. Looked like they did 6 inch pieces a pinky wide. Pruning the tree, I got 2 or 3 pencil sized ones. Going to get them in pots...

    Safari sling? Stalker sling?

    Anybody have experience with a single point sling with something other than an AR? Like a levergun or bolt action rifle? Want to try both out. Thinking the extra weight in the back and attaching ia strap to the wrist of the stock, I am not able to on a browning BLR. Marlin 366 though...

    Started in on the burning projects this morning

    What did you burn switchgrass? Anything special you did to that tree to save it? Rake it back, wet the trunk, etc? Did any other prep like mow or harrow the field edge? Emergency measures you had? Doubled checked here in NY, I thought it was illegal, it is legal for agriculture minimum...

    Rootsuckers for rootstock

    Any luck digging up a sucker and grafting it the same time? Someone wrote on here about being on a farm as a kid. If they were out of rootstock, their dad told them to dig up roots and graft to them. Was a few moons back. I wonder If an old tree can kind of be saved that way. Leave the...

    Crossbows as we age....

    I cant change the rules the state makes. In all reality you dont even need to follow them. How many lone gun shots you hear during bow season. The lifetme license used to include doe tags, now you need to pay. There's guys just whacking them w/o a tag. Alot of hunter were mad in 2012 when...

    Crossbows as we age....

    Ive talked to some folks who trap them in a cage and corn finish them. They taste better that way. We almost had a population of them in NY 5 years ago. Some knucklehead released some in the northern catskill foothills. State was on their toes surprisingly. Helped the region headquarters...

    2026 Scion Exchange

    Anybody tried out the cold snap pear? Bred in canada in the 1970's. I thought they said it can go down to zone 2. Ripe right around when keiffer is. Place I have a tree order has them, trying to say no. But have a few pear rootstocks lready coming. Got an itch for red splendor too.

    Dogwood time?

    almost got lucky s few years go with toringo crabapple. The cuttings leafed out, kept them in indirect sun, then in late july gave them more sun, they died then. Worth sealing the bottom cut if you plant right away. If you do seal and store in the fridge, should you cut the sealed bottom...

    Clover seed before the storm.

    Locking Plyers

    Used to work as a mechanic is the late 90's. Snap-on guy wouldn't break a tool set to replace a broken socket or whatever. You'd wait weeks. Went to home Depot and bought husky tools. Christmas time alot of them go on sale. That my tool time of the year. Want an easy way to get deer hides...

    Dogwood time?

    Whats a good time to collect dogwood cuttings. I pruned some mulberry yesterday and I m using the cuttings to propagate like dogwood. Might as well get some dogwood while I'm at it. Speaking of dogwoods, what's that nice yellow to orange wood variety I see sometimes on swamp edges?

    First tractor research

    I rebuilt a few front axles over the years for folks. Kioti, 2 fords, and only one side on a Kubota. Ate a tooth. Smaller tractors get abused often. When I bought my l3200, I bought a pressure relief spring for the loader and made it come on 20% earlier. IF I did not live on the side of...

    Clover seed before the storm.

    Im a bit torn on winter liming. Earlier is better. But, when you get a spring rain, can it wash away. The ground is more or less frozen. Even more so on banks. Farmers do it when they can. The winter. So maybe its not a big deal. liming during planting time....... Done plenty of...

    Crab Apple Pruning

    I might be bad for pruning advice, I get clipper happy..... But, you need to make a shape of a tree. Easier to change it sooner than later. I do remove the sins, then take it from there. cross, damage, competing leaders, whips.
