Thanks for the advice, so much to learn..

Thanks. Moderate deer pressure and we have 1 large male black bear, and a female that has 3 cubs (yep 3 !!). They don't touch my 3 year old 10 tree apple orchard yet .. and it's uncaged but near the house. Back at the plot I'm going to do some apple and crab and there is 5 3yo chestnut and...

Thank you very much, I'll check out Merit, I've heard of that place in previous post but I always thought it was a local store somewhere but I'll give it a shot.

Thank you, I had to clean the native brush, cut small trees and was able to atv pull behind till the area when it was moist for my first attempt at the plot. If i go clover, rye, should I till again whats there first or just over seed? I am finding it difficult to get just clover seed to...

Hey , solely to hold water 365 for the wildlife.

Thanks for the information it very well could be man-made, it's definitely deep within our parcel but it looks almost too perfect to be natural, who knows... but it's a pretty cool find. I did a little research on the Bentonite and maybe during the summer when it's at its lowest I can remove the...

Thank you very much, you're so correct I love to keep it as natural as possible I haven't seen any fish in there , maybe they die when it gets very low.. but mostly reptilians are there. I'll look up the bentonite idea. Thanks for the information.

Good morning all. Hopefully the videos loads.. We found this mini pond in our woods it's about 40 ft in diameter. As a winter project I'm clearing all the bramble and brush around the edges. It has naturally eroded an exit path/hole (you will see an old cut black plastic culvert in the video)...

Hey there, there will guys way more qualified to answer than myself but my Kieffer pear trees hang on and drop well into November Im.in 7b. Thx

Thank you!
