    Respirator for Habitat work?

    I use a Honeywell P100 respirator filter for everything. It is both particulate and chemical rated. Great for spraying, spreading and construction related tasks. Honeywell 75SCP100L North by Honeywell Works on any North/Honeywell facepiece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Paint Creek Nursery Trees Arrived. Not Impressed.

    I once was a big Paint Creek fan. I am close so I always picked them up. That said I slowly lost interest. Now I get my trees from the County and am very happy with the stock so far. It seems getting trees delivered is a risk. This coming from a guy that planted Nativ Nursery (Mississippi) trees...

    Starting tree seedlings indoors with heat source

    I have done this in my basement “grow area” as my wife calls it. Heat may be needed for germination but that is it. High powered lights for up to 16 hours a day are a must. The one thing I’d mention is a small fan blowing on the seedlings once they emerge. This mimics the wind and forces the...

    Do we really care about public hunting opportunities?

    Yes we do! I’d cede Dane county to them FIBS for FREE at this point. Pass me another beer… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rebar ties and tool

    Looks like more work than good ol’ 8” Outdoor Zip-Ties…. Not a bad idea though! I bet they last a few more years than zip-ties. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Beef River 80

    Thanks Swiffy, it’s been a lot of fun so far! Learning to do less each year but with more quality. Gone are the years of plant 1000+ trees and pray. For food plots we are in an ag dominated area. I find that cover is key after the crops go off. I have done straight brassicas before with cereal...

    PFAS in Biosolid Fertilizers

    Saw this interesting read on “forever chemicals” in “Organic Fertilizers” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/may/28/home-fertilizer-toxic-pfas-forever-chemicals-sewage-sludge I have been a big fan of Miloganite and Menards Organic for years... I’m now second guessing that. It does...

    Coronavirus

    Mr. Loser, I’m passively on your side. Just trying to use the other side’s arguments against them! No COVID vaccine for me, I’m 32 and healthy. I almost broke rank for a free burger though... “Come’on Man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Beef River 80

    Thanks! That was the year I used buckwheat as green manure. Extra work but it paid off. I actually had a buddy take engagement photos there. Found out from the photographer there is potential for income doing that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
