No argument there on the 100% back - but what kind of slimy trash/maggot would propose cutting even the amounts American workers are due as current law now provides????????? Making up for multi-billionaires' tax breaks on the backs of "regular" working Americans by slashing their Social Security...

How about a retirement program whose rules do not change with each successive administration? (Stop moving the target/means to get there!!!) For all the yapping lips that say they want people to be financially secure in their retirement years - how about constructing a system that does not...

Well that tells the story! Thanks for the link. Gonna try some gyp on our lawn.

I use them too. Then water-in the trees. Only ever lost a couple.

Early warm-ups/late frosts & freezes seem to happen often anymore. 83 here in SE Pa. 2 days ago - yesterday snowing hard in squalls. Derek hit the weather call for next week ..... up & down. Hoping for fruit crops .............

We caged the ROD we planted at camp. We have good deer numbers, and not much wetter ground that ROD seems to prefer. Cages seemed to make sense for us. The last ones I planted a couple years ago, I did in a cluster & caged, following the advice of someone on here. Clusters seem to work well.

Did you harvest your seeds yourself - or buy them from a vendor?

And who is pushing for those Social Security cuts? Millions will suffer greatly losing money they ARE entitled to. Most of us have paid into it over our work careers, so we are entitled to it. It didn't happen by $$$ falling from magic clouds. Stealing rightfully earned money by pen-stroke.

You sound like a Buffet/Bogle disciple!!! That's the way to get secure ...... start EARLY, invest on a regular basis, don't touch it, let the interest/dividends/capital gains compound over 40+ years. But - some folks have to keep up with the "Jones's" and buy all sorts of things. If one plays...

I worked on a couple nukes during my career of over 40 years. Nukes are the cleanest (zero carbon/greenhouse gas-wise) and most reliable power sources going forward. I live a few miles from one I worked on, and I have no fear of it. The problem that caused TMI to happen has been resolved for...

Droppings in the clover is a good sign. Your plan sounds good, Newbie. Food is always good to have, and if surrounding woods/bedding is plentiful, you have the draw with your plots = traffic. At our camp (and surrounding camps to us) have found that planting separated clusters of evergreens...

Wetlands are good. Hope it all works out for you. Keep us posted.

Sorry for the tangent question - Sounds like gypsum might be a good thing to add to lawns with clay soil for loosening compact soil & improving water drainage? Anyone with experience on here?

Isn't a good part of the royalty money that goes back to U of M (or any other apple breeding U) used for supporting those breeding programs & research for good tasting/DR apples?

And wetlands are proven "cleaners" of what ends up as ground water (drinking well water) after many scientific studies. Around the U.S., some areas that were "developed", have now been returned to their natural conditions as wetlands. Turns out, studies proved nature had it right all along. TV...
