If you get up a few miles north of me there is a lot of pin oaks. On the east side of Lake Winni towards Ball Club and Deer River LOTS of pin oak. I don't have a single one on my property that I know of. There is burr oak in my immediate area. SD's property is very close to mine and he has...

^^^ I have lifted up one corner of the weed mat and injected many times. This method is the most work, but has the best results. Sprinkling around the perimeter is fine too. Last year I simply threw an amount of fertilizer at my trees from a distance with most of it landing ON the weed mat...

I did this to about 10 of my weed mats this weekend.... When I am cutting down basswood and popple to make room for conifers and oaks I like to cut the crap up and get it in contact with the ground so it starts to rot immediately and then use it later on for "mulch". It doesn't take me long to...

I have been using 19-19-19 for 4 years with great success on my land. I like to inject it into the soil approximately 15-18" from the central leader and put it 8-12" deep. I make a slot with my wolverine shovel and dump a little bit in and then close it back up. My soils are high clay content...

I would take as much as you can get. I would wanna put on at least good 10-15 tons/ acre. 20-25 tons would be better if you can deal with it that thick. Hopefully you can get some really good composted manure. Some nice wet slimy stuff used for bedding and not stuff from around a hay...

^^^^ Yep... There is no comparison. If you really want them to go a bag of mulch and about a large tuna can of 19-19-19 injected under with weed mat. Then they really go. Trees just cant grow worth a damn in grass. They need the weed suppression to properly establish roots.

^^^ I got a couple red oaks with trunks in the 8-16" diameter range that dropped a MASSIVE load last year. One of them in particular has more acorns and caps laying under it than any tree I ever remember seeing. Some of mine look good coming out of winter and ready to plant. My brother...

I was supposed to get an order of 12 canadian hemlock and 6 concolor fir this week. They are not showing up cause they couldnt get them lifted. Probably the last time I order from them. I had some Dolgo crab a few years ago. All 5 of them died within a few weeks. Not impressed.

^^^ Probably half of all the conifers I have ever planted in my woods are white spruce that I rip out of the road ditch from underneath the powerlines. 95% of them get no special treatment, just transplanted and walk away. They are my least favorite spruce, but for the most part the deer...

Sounds like they had a little too much "climate" juice in the chemtrailers over Dubai.... Must be the conspiracy theorist in me that believes certain "climate" assholes like Bill Gates would finance a "science" agenda. Still cant believe Lord Obama put his place right on the ocean front in...

Meeker SWCD pick up is this Friday and Saturday. April 19th and 20th. I will be heading straight north with mine to plant. I have more trees ordered from the Nicollet county SWCD and they aren't coming until the following week. My shipment also got delayed from Chief River Nursery.

Welcome to the Xiden presidency... - 30+% inflation since 2021 - If you get vaccinated you cant get or spread covid (lie of the century) - bodies falling off C130s leaving Afghanistan and leaving $86 billion worth of equipment and weapons for the Taliban - US soldiers getting blown up and...

I heard they call them feathered rats in parts of MN.... Better look for some mushrooms while they are there.

What are some of the funds you are invested in and how long have you been in them?? I didn't start my retirement account until 2018, but I likely already caught up to most other people my age. I have over 50% of my money in the bank drawing 5.61% in variable rate CDs. I keep contributing the...

I find it comical that we have such a poor inflation report yesterday and then a bunch of stocks having a great day today. Some of my largest positions are Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, VUG (Vanguard Growth ETF) and they just keep going. I am expecting good Q1 earnings and for the market to...

And we will never know the "persons/people" in Oregon that won this Jackpot cause they do not exist. The winning investment bank will set up an anonymous trust to claim the prize. They must have had a computer glitch and had trouble finding a number combination that was not held by a real...

Does anyone else believe the 2 big multi state lotteries are rigged (Powerball and Mega Millions)?? I think both of these are rigged. The winner is whoever is running the scam. Likely some big banking connections. With the current number combinations and computer capability I think its...

I stopped at my buddies farm today. He has a hackberry tree right out in front of the shop. That tree must have easily produced over 100,000-200,000 little berries last year. The ground was completely covered with the little berries and there was dozens of robins enjoying the buffet still...

I have been planting white cedar on upland sites of my property for 4 years now. They have been through 3 years of terrible drought. They are all doing really good. I have not lost one yet. We didnt get close to 12 inches of rain last year or in 2021. The root structure on white cedar is...
