Sandbur - Don't apologize, thank you for sharing your experience, that's what makes this place awesome

Here's what I bought: https://bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/wild-deer-apple-trees/ https://bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/wild-pear-trees/ https://bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/wild-crabapple-malus-dolgo/ I'm just curious if anyone has bought the same and had them long...

Last year I bought 20 'wild' apple trees, and this year I did 20 each of the 'wild' pears and crabapples from Blue Hill nursery. My thought was to focus on volume and hope for the best with the natural diversity as far as drop times and resistance to different factors. Last years trees seem to...

Does anyone here plant blueberries? We have quite a few wild ones on our property with the tiny little berries. I like the low shrubby cover and enjoy planting things that are good for wildlife as well as people. I'm hoping if I can get some other varieties going it will produce better...

Can anyone identify these? Is there any benefit to wildlife or soil? It seems to be all over Iowa, presumably just reseeding itself and literally can grow in gravel. I was thinking it might be good in a mix for building up what is now poor rocky soil.

Thanks guys. The kick stands worked out great. As originally pictured, it's way more stable than expected when on concrete or flat solid ground. I was originally planning to have pins run through the stands into the frame to completely secure it but found it unnecessary. When parking it for...

I'm new here but have been stalking for the last several months. I've read the TNM thread front to back several times and am just getting started on my own TNM process. I'll detail that in that thread, but thought I'd share the cultipacker it inspired me to build. The frame is from MC12x45...
