Understory has been demolished as well....we had some logging done 3 years ago (winter cut), and harvested a fair amount of mature white pine drier areas that had overgrown part of the 1900’s apple orchard and white cedar in the wetter areas to make a perimeter trail.....we were hoping for...

The reason for the Trefoil and Kura Clover, it has been said to me that they are almost considered Round Up Ready (Ed Spin). The property I co-own is 160 acres. We will be turning a fallow 3 acre field into the high fenced field of RR Sugar Beets. The ground is rocky, but PH is not too bad at...

Preface...this is on Beaver Island, MI....high deer density, little to no agriculture within miles of our property. Cedar/Conifer swamps for miles..... we harvested 5 does this year, however, it doesn’t appear to have made a dent.....our current plots have been mowed to the dirt, brassicas...

Dang....yes, everything has broken dormancy

I have a few 2-3 yo trees I’d like to place in different locations.....too late for this year?

Does anyone recall the amount of Sevin used per gallon of mix?

I have read on here about painting the trunks with a mixture of 50% white latex paint and 50% water and a dose of Sevin, to treat for sunscald and kill borer insects.....I can’t seem to find the recipe.... Also, this seems like a knuckle head question....does it matter if it is interior latex...

What kind of a sprayer are you using? Approximately how much solution for a mature apple tree? My concern is that I have some really old apple trees that are in desperate need of dormant oil.....I did a significant amount of pruning this winter, there are many other pests that attacked my...

Your profile says “Frozen Tundra”.......what type of cedar trees do you have? White Cedar doesn’t cause CAR.....just want to save you some from unneeded worry

Grouse are on our hit list at our camp.....seem to bud the hell out of our trees....they are all over the place!

2 Goldrush, 1 Honeycrisp, 4 Kieffer, 3 Chinese Chestnut.....did a ton of planting 2 and 3 years ago....replacing my old, dying apple trees with pears from now on....don’t have as much time as I would like to maintenance of apples. Previous orders had consisted of various late drop crabs...

Ahhh...sorry, I should have stated my equipment. I do have a tractor, a UTV with a 40 G sprayer (for food plots, but I am not sure I want to use the same sprayer with all the herbicides used, and without a proper washout each time), and an ATV. I have a 125 G tank that I transport water to the...

Yes it does have its challenges....but it is about as close to wilderness hunting as one can get. Not much, AG so the deer on the property destroy everything nutritious....tough to establish anything but clover. Doemageddon will be happening after the 2nd or 3rd day of rifle season! I’m...

Yes sir, I have been putting in disease resistant crabs and diversifying with oaks (were not present on property prior to ownership), pear varieties, and a few chestnuts to see if they will grow that far north. This property was once a thriving apple orchard in the 1910-20’s (no idea what...

Correct. I’m certainly not with an unlimited budget.....But I also need to be efficient when I am up there, as we also have about 12 acres of food plots too. I’d like to paint the trunks (will hire a local guy to do that for the mature trees)....but the rest of the spraying, I’m not sure I...

I’d like to hear what everyone utilizes for their spray equipment.... -How large of a tank? -Spray Nozzle? I will need to spray up to 25 feet in some cases. I had a very subpar year of apple production, and our trees haven’t been given a lot of TLC in the recent years. I’m planning on upping...

It has indeed helped for us....but it has cost a LOT of money! Like many others, habitat improvement is my passion, so I have enjoyed every bit of it. I have co-owned the property for almost 8 years now...we went from an old, overgrown, barely producing apple orchard to 13 acres of food plots...

I got my Kieffer's from Morse Nursery...on their site it says for Zones 3-8......my land is on Beaver Island...says Zone 5B, but I typically won't buy anything unless it is hardy to Zone 4.....hope I didn't screw up! All survived last winter, however, they are much too young to produce, so only...

What size Miracle Tubes do you use? I have been using 5' Miracle Tubes.....I hope that they are tall enough to be out of reach for my deer, especially during the winter months......

I have the same problem/blessing......I actually view it as a good thing to have volunteer vetch in my plots.....great for nitrogen fixing and OM. I think your plan of following with a brassica mix should be symbiotic, with the vetch adding N to your crop.
