Not why we do it, but...

This is not why we do the habitat thing, but it is nice to get an attaboy... and attagirl

Thanks. Unfortunately, I had to miss the presentation at the local soil conservation banquet due to a misshap ...broken leg. Worst part is, I will still be in a cast when the trees I ordered last fall show up.

Will be planting 300 bare root eastern red cedar as visual screens around a couple bedding areas. I usually prune the roots so they don’t J-root and plant them with a dibble bar. Also like to dip the roots in root slurry.

Congratulations on your award.
Interestingly, one thing I was asked was “do you get teased often for planting trees when everyone else is dozing them out?” The answer would be yes. I have different goals.

Nice!
Although, I hope all of my habitat improvements go unnoticed over the next 5-10 years... no sense letting the neighbors know there is a reason to take up hunting!

Have you thought about using the pull behind seedling planter from the state since you are in Kansas.With 2 guys you could plant in an hour and inspect and firm up in another hour

I have used the tree planter before. They work pretty well and are very efficient, especially for putting in shelter belts or planting in an open space. However, the places I want to plant now are in areas that have to be hand planted...no room for tractor and planter.

Know what you mean there,I am going to try to move another 25 or so 3ft cedars when ground thaws.I am planting along creek to block entry view.
