I believe sulfur is generally what's used to lower pH. Make sure you're doing a real soil test, and not using one of the things they sell on Amazon for a soil test. You can find many places that will do a soil test for under $20. I use Penn State, which is around $10...

Sink a tube(or tin can) into the dirt a few inches. Weed mat and possibly cage the tree.

That's why direct seeding can work better than potted.

Be careful with potted trees. They can get root bound pretty quickly. Walmart is notorious for not watering the trees they sell AND letting the roots cook in the hot sun.

It probably depends on a number of factors. Do you have $10,000 or $10,000,000 in income/profit? It's probably going to cost you something to form the LLC and deal with it's separate taxes/structure. Are you going to save enough in taxes to justify the additional expenses? Only you really know...

You can heat treat the seed nuts to avoid this as well. Warm water bath of 120 for 10 minutes. ( I think, from memory)

I agree. Having dealt with my late uncle's estate, I see how estate planning and taxes matters. Some of this varies state to state, so that's why I'm suggesting asking someone local, and bringing the financial data.

How wet is the soil? What's the pH? Amend the soil? Do anything to help with weed competition? Back at my desk, to add more info. Chestnuts prefer a lower pH and drier sites. They do not like wet roots. Persimmons like a more neutral pH. I had some die in sites I planted that were too wet...

Accounting/taxes and estate planning are two different things. I'd check with the proper professionals bringing your specific info. They will be able to make the best recommendation for you

Bumping this for 2025 deals. I may be on the look out for 10'+ blind platforms/stands.

We took two resident "boss" does last year after MANY years of not shooting any does. They hogged all the good habitat and ran the bucks off. They were fairly tame as well. One would even walk up to the Ranger and look in the bed. We are seeing more bucks cruising this year that many of the past...

Ravin is selling the Ravin specific model for $999 now. There may be ways for folks to get discounts. I think they offer a Pro and veterans/military discount. You'd have to check if it would stack.
