Take a soil test of the field and you’re going to need to take it from multiple areas and not just one . It can save you $ on fertilizer down the road . See where your PH is at .

Sorry for your loss. It’s a devastating thing to go through and every person here knows someone is has affected . God bless her, your family and friends. Stay positive and keep the memories .

Thx

Homer: should I climate the Neem oil? It’s always my first spray of the year .

I waited two weeks before applying. I know you can’t mix captan with oil . I mixed the Kocide 3000 with the neem oil. I know I originally said a week but it was def two weeks or more.

Located in Connecticut. Some leaves have turned completely brown while other have other things going on. I have sprayed 5x this year with Neem Oil back in late march mixed with copper. Then following week I did Captan, Avaunt, Manzate every 10 days.

I have used the tubes on about 20 trees and had great success. I have also used the window screen and 5 ft welder wire fence on about 80 trees and had great success. I don’t think you can go wrongoin either one if you pick the correct location. That’s more important than the tube / fence.

I too am done with Bud 118 for reasons stated above. I’ve had some blow even due to heavy winds one year, too. I now in the last two years have bought 40 trees from BlueHills which use Dolgo. Let’s hope these are as good as they sound.

He has sandy soils

Yes. From the research and the size of his tractor ( which isn’t very big and bec of that limits the options) the Genesis 3 looks like it would work. Thx for input guys.

Thx Foggy. I was currently reading old threads as well.

My buddy is looking for a nice no till drill. His main purpose for it is food plots yearly. Can anyone give good advice on a nice one that would compliment his tractor. His tractor is a Kioti 36HP with 4 WD. It was a 3 point hitch. Any input would be appreciated. Thx, Bob

60 apple, crab and pear trees. What a sickness it is

I have planted BW many times and never needed a pre. It grows fast and shades out a lot of weeds. I would also soil test if you havent to get your P and K levels adequate for the brassicas. You will also need a good dose of Urea when planting the brassicas. One thing I would make sure of is that...

I wouldn’t plant them unless you’re gona protect them. Your trying to save money by not protecting them ,but in reality your lighting money on fire.
