It's hard to say what going to happen to the price of electronics with the tariffs. Now might be a good time to pickup the GardePro E5S for $34.99 at Amazon. GardePro E5S It's a good camera. Nice pictures and excellent battery life with just photos.

Yes I did when I planted my Norway spruce this spring. I was told by a employee at the nursery where I bought the trees that I could. I'm a little nervous I overdid it.

My brassica plot was a big success. I got thousands of pictures of deer in it including some nice bucks. If I was a better hunter I might have even shot a one of those bucks. I did have opportunities to shoot doe and smaller bucks every time I hunted near it. I had a slow down in plot usage in...

So I planted 30 trees using the stump bucket on my loader tractor to help dig the holes. It was very useful and saved a lot of time and work. It was a huge help in scraping away thick sod to get to dirt. The bucket dug the holes with no problems. It's been useful in pulling out SMALL shrubs and...

I'll be planting my Norway Spruce tomorrow. Just want to point out a good deal on U-post for securing cages if anyone is looking. Menards has 5' steel u-post on sale for $1.11 or $0.99 each after rebate. They are normally $2.99 each. I cleaned out the ones at my local Menards but looking...

I don't want to mess with hooking up a 3-pt tractor auger every time I want to plant a few trees. I can quick attach with a bucket. Also easier to store the bucket outside. I think the stump bucket is cheaper than a 3-pt auger. The stump bucket is more versatile for my needs. I ended up...

If you are going to do it right it's a lot of work and expensive. If you are handy it's not that difficult, plenty of guides and tips online to help. Mark where your post are going to go and than rent a auger. That will save you a lot of work and time over digging the holes by hand. Fence...

Titan Economy Stump Bucket Thinking about a stump bucket for digging holes for tree planting. I have a tractor with a front-end loader. Anyone have any experience with using this kind of bucket for digging holes? I would probably have to do some finish digging by hand but the bucket would take...

Bumping this thread from 2023... I've been looking for a used cultipacker for a couple years on Marketplace without success. I'm not interested in the PackerMaxx, I want one with individual packer wheels. I'm thinking of buying a cheap Field Tuff for $800. It's 4' and weighs 308 pounds. Is that...

I read in another thread that's a few years old, you recommending DeWitt 4'X300' fabric, cut into 4'x4" mats. Like this product... Amazon weed mats? I'm ready to buy weed mats.

At least until the end of archery, January 31. No. In high wind the side of the blind facing the wind might pop in but it's easy just to pop it back out when you go to hunt the blind. I have cheap moving blankets for flooring. It cuts down on the noise. Blanket goes with me when done hunting...

I built three of these 6'x8' platforms this summer. They are really easy to build. I used plywood for the deck and a high quality outdoor stain that was on sale from Menards. I built a short rail where the blind opens. The stairs worked just fine but I'm going to reinforce them this spring. I...

I didn't think it was to bad, no better or worse than my .270.
