    Any issues planting clover in the same plot year-after-year? I know some plants should be on a rotation, but wasn't sure if clover needed to be one of those? VV

    Planting Black Walnut Seedlings

    With the recent Black Walnut post and the value of the timber I thought I would buy 25 seedlings and get them in the ground for the kids/grandkids. I plan to tube them. Anything else I should be doing to insure their survival and growth? Thanks. VV

    Black Cherry: Need caging?

    I am considering buying some black cherry seedlings and am curious if I should be concerned about browsing? I really have no interest in trying to cage all the trees because of the cost. If I can plant them with minimal care, then it may be a tree I go with. Thanks. VV

    Too late to fertilize clover?

    There has been very little rain here in SE Ohio, so I have held off fertilizing my clover. There is some rain forecasted this week and I was wondering if it would do me any good to try now? Thanks for the help. VV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yellow Sweet Blossom Clover

    Anyone try this? I am in SE Ohio and am considering using this in a mix with Crimson Clover this Spring as a soil builder/Nitrogen fixer. I can sometimes get some of the Crimson to come back an extra year, so I might be able to get 2 years out of this mix. Thanks for any input on this type of...

    It is going to be 70 here in SE Ohio today and above freezing for the foreseeable future with rain for the next few days. Just curious thoughts on broadcasting clover in the next few days and the likelihood of it germinating and living. Thanks. VV

    My largest food plot (2 acres) butts up against woods on 3 sides and to a pasture on the 4th. I plant a screen on the pasture side, but was curious if I should plant some berry bushes on the wooded sides. Any thoughts/issues anyone has? Thanks.

    Weed Killer Around Young Apple Trees

    From what I have read, gly is a dangerous spray to use around fruit trees. Are there any safe herbicides to spray around young apple trees that won't negatively affect them in any way? Thanks. VV

My aunt has an apple tree that she says she just found in the woods, dug up and moved to her yard a few years ago and that thing produces tons of apples almost every year. I would like to take some...

    Paint Not Sticking to Concrete

    Spent a lot of time in the heat and sun yesterday painting a basketball court onto a concrete pad. It was a surprise for my son when he gets back from camp. Let it dry 15 hours and I was the one who go surprised. It didn’t stick at all. I put four coats on it, so maybe the first coat wasn’t dry...
