Sounds worth reading, Who was the author?

Except the roads were they moved soil the rest of the ground should have plenty of roots in the ground to stop erosion. It would be good to throw something on road like wheat or buckwheat though to prevent erosion and I would hope they put in some water diversions on sloped roads before they...

Good job, sir

I don't have any help Swampcat but maybe a little input. I use to work with a lady who lived in the city and she fought squirrels for years in her tomato garden. She tried everything planting 50 plants, chicken wire around them, electricity but the tree rats would pick her clean every year...

I have friends who get sideways when corn is not gone before gun season because they feel deer pile in corn field and stay throughout daylight. Of course if you found this the second year you could simply ask him to harvest earlier in season.

Besides just the cheaters and poachers knowing the law could be watching from above would cause many of them to sustain from the activities. I have a feeling if a drone would fly over my neck of the woods more often then I would have a turkey roosting on me more often instead 5 roosting on my...

I planted 50 nuttalls about 6 years ago, I think I have 46 alive and they look good but no acorns yet(probably 10-12 feet tall). I planted mostly on lower hillsides and watered during droughts the first 2 years. All did fine during last years drought, seem pretty tough after established. I...

I have never processed a Galarina but fresh off the tree I like the taste. Seems like they are a little tart but tasty. Also still alive after 25 years with no spray speaks for itself.

Sorry for the bad news Native but I live 90 minutes from you in KY and my 25 year old Galarina tree is empty by the first of October, but maybe critters helping the removal but also a lot of dropping.

This up and down has happened too many times to be a conspiracy theory in my opinion. Since in office he has made announcements of doomsday to drop the market to correction range 10-20% down and then change the picture to pump it back up to about where it started. I had just about recovered...

Seems to me if Trumps bill passes it will hurt UNH because of cutting some of Medicaid. I would think a lot of hospital profits is being paid by Medicaid but I am only saying this from logic and may be out of line. Other takes?

I agree Native but I now have 3 trees with fireblight and 2 of the three are Becton and your only fireblight pear tree is Bectin. Which tells me Bectin is much more likely to get fireblight than the average pear tree. We both have numerous other trees without it in the same area as Becton...

Howaboutthemdogs mentioned eating an elephant. In the case of this budget, one bite at a time would be balancing this budget. If you want to chip away at the deficit the first bite is only spending what we have this year, or maybe even a tad less. It is not impossible, the problem is every...

I forester told me that if a tree is stunted for too long and too harshly it will not respond to being released. He said some oaks are 20 years old and only an inch in diameter. The calculator says that it is basing average growth on trees in forest, not in the open.

I don't know about the math as twice as fast or just a certain percentage faster but I can speak of Shag bark hickory. It is one of the highest numbers and I can testify that is is incredibly slow grower, I have one in my side yard and out in full sun it seems to be the same size for 30 years...
