Burned a small section of the field above my house. Been a few years since it had good clover in it and was getting weedy and overrun with grass. Perfect day with high humidity, very light SSE wind and rain in the forecast. First drops started when the fire had almost totally burned out. Used...

awesome thank you so much...no more blue air polluting the air about the cams at my house and my in laws! I had been looking up the card readers with the screens and the cheapest one was like 43$!

First off I should say I am not the most tech-savvy person. But this weird change just blew my mind. I have been checking cams for years using a plug in card reader (have used tons of cheap different ones) over the years and it has all been the same. Plug it in to my phone (have an I phone 16...

ive used those when I ran out of the rubber coated steel rods I was using...have since switched to monstrous 1' long, 1" wide landscape spikes with a 90 degree end that I just hammer down around the bottom of my cages.. those reflective markers can also be used as great tree location markers to...

hope it warms up (and stays warm) and all those get to be pears!

sounds awesome! I hope you can get that cross pollinating idea to work! I have 2 in my front yard, one that is ~12' tall that i found laying over in a brush patch when I cleaned it up and the other just popped up this year on the edge of a raspberry thicket and is maybe 5' tall. Both will be...

just graft and top work them into submission..i now cage any I find in my upper field to get them some height so I can frankentree them! (i understand you probably have alot more than i do)

Gonna have to get you some real late awakening trees like Turning Point...it was almost 80 here on Tuesday...22 this morning. I feel your pain... thankfully my trees stayed dormant and hopefully will for at least a couple more days...more roller coaster temps coming next week....

I've got 16 total and 1 for a friend spread out over 2 weekends..gonna start easy with a 4 tree weekend by myself then gonna dive in with some help and do the remaining 12

is there really a such thing???I ts like having too much money or too much fun (but you dont need to dig a hole to plant, cage, weed mat or window screen money or fun)

you could buy 3-4 trees from BH/WC for that price....and those are known, quickly-productive varieties. ..

I had always heard that the cleth would smoke the little clover seedlings...just dont want to have to replant a dozen pounds of clover...

how about clover? that and chicory are mainly what i am planting but i did want to add some oats as a nurse crop..

Us northerners who are just contemplating frost seeding into our barren, just unfrozen, seemingly lifeless plots are all salivating over those pics….

another thought......could I till Plot 1, wait a few weeks, then spray with gly and seed the same day... and then for Plot 2...try a 1 day spray with clethodim and seed the same day...I am just wondering if the cleth would wear off enough in the time before the clover popped to not be an issue...
