We planted our brassica plot on August 8 in southeastern Indiana. Unfortunately, we have had very little rain in that part of the state since. Has anyone been in a similar situation and had the seed sit in the ground for awhile before actually getting a good rain that ultimately led to...

We have been thinking about putting in a couple of these at our property. However, with the ongoing reports of EHD across the state of Indiana, we are reluctant to do so. Thoughts?

Looking good!

Looks good man!

Thank you everyone for the replies. Tubes will be coming off and screens going on.

Thanks for the responses guys. Please keep them coming. If I remove the tubes and window screen the trunks, should I still keep the PVC tubing to support the tree? If so, what should I use to connect the tree to the PVC tubing with?

Not sure about the critters? That is certainly a concern. I'm curious if others who have used the carpet approach had issues with the critters? We are in southeast Indiana. Zone 6a Josh

We planted our first pear trees this past weekend. I have been trying to learn info from others on this forum and on the QDMA forum about how to go about it. We tried the carpet idea around the bases of the trees: Do you guys think this will work? Any suggestions on how we might modify...
