I do have mulch on top of most of the mats, but good idea on targeting the outside edges more than the mat itself. Thanks!

I’ve wondered this, how to spread granular fertilizer with a 4 foot weed mat. Does it do any good to drop it on the mat itself or do you think I should sprinkle it only around the outside edge of the mat instead? Conifer trees vary in age from 1-5 years old.

I said exactly same this morning upon reading this. After a drink following work I have 4 more trees arriving in April.

Great story telling and the detail shared makes me yearn for a tag. Sounds like an awesome experience and a great bull at the buzzer. Congrats!

Helpful info. Thank you!

Thanks Professor Kent! That is what I thought.

Expect this has been asked previously, but I am starting to prepare my orchard for winter and need to install my window screen around the trunks on my young trees. Some of the trees have quite a few shoots/sprouts on the trunk that I would like to prune off but not sure if that is ok to do at...

Not much moving during mid-day and guide didn’t want to go into the dark timber after them and risk getting busted by a harem of cows, so seemed like a good call. Wish I was going back this year. Good luck!

We didn’t really hunt all day, although one of the three days we did try a few spots right after lunch during slow time. The other days we went back and napped, or chilled until later in the day. As to the rut, yes, this was the opening rifle season and they were bugling like crazy all around...

I am excited for you. I was extremely fortunate and drew a Utah LE tag about 8 years ago in La Sal on my second time ever applying. My guide told me how lucky that was, and at the time I did not appreciate it. Seeing your story and the wait times people have had, I appreciate my dumb luck all...

Blue Hill trees are terrific. I really didn’t appreciate the quality of these trees until compared side by side to similar trees from other nurseries.….markedly smaller roots and they’ve filled out much faster. I‘ve been similarly frustrated with the ordering over the past few years, but those...

Such a cool project! Love the go-big approac.

Great to see it can be done! Am also in 4A. Fingers crossed for similar results.

What zone are you actually in? I just planted some last year that survived their first winter in zone 4, and was pleasantly surprised.

Same exact issue for me. Used to be able to zoom all the way into different parts of my property and get individual readings. That was nice, and even though you knew it was an estimate, it was markedly better than Cocorahs, which has such wide ranges and many times for me requires approximating...
