Wishsomeone would make a sow drip setup that you can fill a 55 gallon drum and it take a month top drip out.

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...

Wish I kept pics of the refneck ones I've seen in public land over the years......

Hope recovery goes well. Had a coworker's 18 year old son almost die from the newer nastier tick disease. Almost think my wife's cosuin died from a heart attack at 55 might of been the tick disease. He owned a lawn business here in NY. Not a big believer in permetherin. Seen em dance on my...

Plnting from pot ok sorta. True transplanting removing from ground and relocating, yeah wait. Dig the hole you can, but take care of the roots carefully. Better to cut than rip. I really like my root assain RA18 shovel. Narrow, but deep, and has cutting teeth. Cut the circle, loosen with...

I sleep like a baby in mine......

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...

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...

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...

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...

Might be able to run one size smaller jet on the interior nozzles and get what you need. A few tricks with boom sprayers. Give it a practice run. See how much water your using in a certain acerage. Have an accurate way of determining vehicle speed. Some vehicles do fine by themselves with...

Im still new to this, but when i feel the young tree has recovered from grafting damage, id remove it. Some grafts look healthy proper sized leaves, but do not expand much. Id keep the sucker till seasons end. If you feel it needs it, keep it.

Grafted kerr on a droptine this spring. A few have fruit on them. Was afraid to pluck them and separate the graft union. A badly damaged tree will give all its got to survive. 7ft of growth may not be a good thing. Especially places where winters are bad.

l Always throw clover in anytime I seed a field. It takes time, Even if it has a low survival rate, lb of seed vs benefit to foodplto is very high. Cheapest fertilizer on the market............

Thinking of just stickign with ladino n medium red in the future.

Tempted to plant a cherry or two. Heard enogu bad new from here to not to. Orchard one town over has a whole netted area for cherry trees. Mulberry 2 or 3 pears, and Saturn peaches is as far as I wander from apple trees.

IF the graft union didn't heal, they'd be long long dead........ Probably won't put on much this year, but next year it'll do good. I've been wanting to post a pic of a grafted winter wildlife on m111 from ladt year. Barely made a 2nd set of leaves past the original buds in 2024. Now it's...

Weed in NY is taxed and regulated to the hilt. Still a black / grey market out there. Just much harder toget arrested. Stuff is cheapwr than it was in the 1990's in NY.

Anybody see someone use a large standup freezer. Most an be turned low and used as a refrigerator. Was thinking of getting one for 7 or 8 hundred bucks at home depot and putting a few hooks on the top. Hang leg quarters.
