My wife throwed my rope that I had for a licking rope out in the garage. Lots of gasoline and diesel smell. Not REAL strong but on a hot day you can sure smell the gas. Will the rope air out enough to use or should I just go get another one?

Small tract. Somewhere between 40 and 50 acres...probably closer to the 40 than the 50. It was an old pasture. Sure wish I'd kept it either in pasture or planted in bahai grass. Trees were planted in 01 and have never been thinned. Getting to the point they are starting to thin themselves...

That's what we've got too, loblolly pine. Been wanting to get someone out here for the last few years and no one wanted to come out. Kept getting put off Finally got someone that said they would be out and cut. Guess we'll see. Lots of folks been getting their timber cut around me. Lots of...

Brushy, we have a pine plantation that is past ready to be thinned, should have been thinned years ago. Anyway, kicking around the idea of having some of it clear cut and longleafs set back out. If not having it clear cut then thinning it out and going on from there is fine by me too. Was...

Anyone have any dealings with them? Pros? Cons?

Took a second for that to sink in but yep, you are correct there FarmerDan. It sure ain't gonna' sprout and grow sitting in the sack at home is it?? I've never frost seeded anything but there in central Mississippi, zone 8, we don't really get that many hard frosts where the ground freezes...

Thanks Bill and Charles. When I get back down south I'll get it done. Like I said though, was more wondering whether or not Dec. was too late in the year to seed it or not. Elbert

I was digging around in the shed a short while back and found a box of seed I had forgotten about from the NWTF that held an 8 lb. bag of Biologic Nontypical clover seed. It is from this past spring and I just forgot about it this fall when I had put my other two little plots in so it's not old...

I didn't get any pictures but I just wanted to give a report on my attempt of using the T-n-M method. It really works!! As I mentioned in my post up above, I seeded and mowed on Oct. 7 and 8. Hurricane missed us but we got a real nice rain over two and half days that weekend and on the 15th...

All right ya'll. It's on you now. I started yesterday with my first go with the TnM method. Two little mini plots. My stand by mix that I really like, forage oats and crimson clover. One plot right behind the house about the size of a very big garden and the other somewhere between 1/3 and...

Glad Welter took care of the shipping issue for you, Jack. Sounds like they are a good company. I couldn't imagine being a shipping company like UPS or FEDEX or even the mail right now what with everybody in the nation trying to shop online as much as possible. And I'm right with you on...

Yes. Sorted through 'em , threw away the cracked ones and ones with holes in 'em, then float checked them just before I put 'em in their containers. Ones that floated got chucked out also. I even cracked a couple open and tried 'em myself. They were a bit bitter, LOL.

Thanks J-bird. 75% seems like a pretty good germination rate to me. At least I know I'd be happy with it. This will be my first attempt at growing oak trees from acorns. Hope I can get somewhere around your 75% germination rate. I put about a third of them in containers with soil today...

Bringing this back up because my persimmon seedlings may not all be dead after all. Made a round today just to look things over. Drove the golf cart up around the hill where I had set the persimmons out with the idea to pull the tubes off and bring to the house. Gave a couple of the seedlings...

Someday, that's really all I want to do is influence the way the deer herd use and utilize the property here. I want to make it more attractive to 'em than what's across the fence. Don't care if it's mostly does either because come the rut wherever the does are the bucks will show up there...
