Interesting article.

We finished planting the trees that I bought from Nativ Nurseries today. All total we planted 24 trees. I guess they are really seedlings. Anyway, we planted 8 of each variety, Mexican plum, common persimmon, and Blac Cherry. Now play the waiting game to see if they take.

You have some really interesting thoughts there. What about those machines that take a whole tree and transplant it? Don’t hose machines dig down with the fingers and take the tree up with the roots in a dirt ball while severing the tap root?

I hate auto correction. form should be from and We

Me and the wifey spent today planting trees form NN. we planted Mexican plum, common persimmon and black cherry in the woods. Tomorrow we are going to finish planting the rest of the trees in the middle of a food plot.

I am going to take soil samples from the lush areas and take separate samples in the so-so areas just to see the difference in the results. Might be interesting.

I have some small areas that are lush green surrounded by large areas that are just so, so. I had hopes that the meter might give me an idea about the difference in the soil makeup without having to do a full scale soil sample.

Tell me more about the "$10 cheap meter" you have. I would like to have one of those.

I have a pull type 606NT and was having trouble with the depth control. My machine wasn’t even putting the seed in the ground. So, I called and talked to one of the company techs. He told me to make sure the seed box was level then adjust the depth of the coulters. After doing that and replacing...

i agree that it would take a huge building to store all the boards cut. But what option does one have. It is nearly impossible to get a logger to come in and cut a small plot here. The cost of moving the machinery is so great. I have a 30 acre plot of woods that are adjacent to a pine...

One other idea that just hit my soggy head,, Hire a forester to mark the trees to be sawn then hire a crew to cut the trees. Maybe even have the saw crew bring the logs to a staging area then get a portable sawmill to come in and saw the logs.

Yeah, There are some portable sawmills around here too. That is a better option than hauling the logs.

If I could sell my logs to the mill myself, I would thin my woods and take the logs to a mill. But, here in La one can't cut his own timber and take it to the mill. 1. Gotta have a contract with the mill before they will buy your logs. 2. According to the forester's that I have talked to...

A good idea for those who live relatively close to each other. Sounds kinda like a co-op,

Do you mean for the small seed box? I think the plugs work for both boxes. Now I am curious, gotta go check to make sure.
