The original plot was 40 acres with a house right up front on the road like they used to be built with 2 outbuildings. One is the pole barn and the other more of a detached garage with the walk-in. We subdivided the plot and now have the back 37 acres with the barn where we're building our home...

That fb link is dead now. Not a good sign haha

thanks and agree on too good to be true sometimes. What's the company? Maybe I can google without going through facebook.

Yeah sorry I can't click facebook links on my work pc. It also looks like it's in german. I'll check it out later.

I'm over buying root stock unless it's a tree I don't have. I have some plums and peaches getting on in age as well as some oak and other natives I was thinking of either grafting or cutting and planting (I forget what this is called). I stumbled upon this technique called Air Layering which...

I'll check for used, but transport would be a challenge. The all in one units seem to go for at least $5k, so making my own is still cheaper. With regards to the type of unit, coolbot has recommendations that seem to work for almost everyone. Their unit reprogram the wall unit to go lower than...

We are currently building our dream home on 40 acres in western ny which is on a semi-functioning peach and apple orchard that will over time turn into a road side stand at its best. The land was owned by my wife's late grandfather and there are 2 outbuildings, 1 is going to be sold with the...

I've generally found that vendor shopping for bareroots is the way to go. Some seem to have good deals on some varieties and stupid prices on others. I found chief river was solid on doug fir's. The other thing that I've learned over the fast few years is that it's probably better to pay more...

I have the 44bc I think? it's not the lowest tier, but the beefier kohler iirc. My issue is not that it's not capable, that thing has cut everything I've thrown at it. It's that how you mow with it being towed behind and only being 44" that it just takes a while and can be difficult to maneuver...

Thank you all and you are confirming generally what I was leaning towards. Just didn't want to get it wrong. The UTV is amazing and a tractor doesn't replace a lot of what it can do, so I'm happy to have it and a tractor would be an awesome addition as well as maybe just renting an excavator at...

This might be a bit of a long post but I'm hoping the more details I provide the better. I have been leasing 40 acres in upstate NY for about 4 years. The property is about 1/2 apple/peach orchard and fields and half hardwoods. When I first started leasing (from family) I wasn't looking to...

I don't see how it wouldn't work. The tank itself is pretty solid and I haven't had any issues with it. Valves and stuff are likely designed and rated for a certain PSI, so if you stayed within range the system itself should work just fine with a different pump that you rigged up.

So 2 of my chestnuts have already grown over the top of my 4' tubes in year 1. Would you say cage next year, because I was leaning towards that but wasn't sure if I should leave it on for another year.

What about deer that would browse the tops? I have 4', 5' and even 6' fences. Would a smaller 4' fence still allow for them to just chew the tops off? Does that happen?

Well I started all my oaks and chestnuts in tubes this year and even in one summer have been thoroughly impressed. Now yall making me nervous. My goal was 2 to 3 years... mostly just to keep them safe from rubbing/browse. The cost to cage the few dozen trees I have planted will be insane. Tubes...
