Planted half dozen or so 8-10 years back. Dropped late September here but got nabbed by fireblight bad last year and this year. I have lost quite a few domestic and natives to the blight. Educated guess is it has something to do with the constant rain!!!

7" Since monday- take what you need!

Everything said by these guys must be taken in context. They both offer very good information but not all should be applied in every situation. I personally dislike hinge cuts as I think they are ugly and to me it is not a bmp which utilize on my farm. One size does not fit all and every...

Clopyralid- Will knock the thistle dead along with clover/alfalfa and burdock

I 2nd what gf13 said. Amazing how liberty knocks the snot out of some of these weeds. I had a pigweed/waterhemp issue for years. Use to manage it with flexstar in beans and status in corn. But that's what I was doing just managing the weed. 2 years now with liberty and it's all but disappeard...

Sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness! Throw the spoil in a non wetland area and you should be ok. The largest threat is filling of a wetland. If you are able to avoid that and choose to go the non permited way you should be able to defend your actions.

Soil temp here dropped to 49 degrees today. 2" rain last night and forecast lows of 35 for the next two nights. Lovely!

I typically plant cuttings in an ice cream bucket. Stack like 25 in there to get rooted and put on 3" or so top growth. Then transplant to 1 gallon rootmakers for the remainder of the year. The following spring I will field plant them. Success without rooting hormone is 60%. Top growth...

Here is the one I use. Don't run diesel any more, just bark oil. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0216682

Will be out Sunday working on TSI and Monday will be cutting up dead elm for firewood. We don't have any snow on the ground but I doubt that will last all winter!

Worked from 10-3 today. Got about 2 acres worth of buckthorn cut and sprayed. Deffinitely not as fun as tsi, but satisfying none the less

Don't wait this long into the season:^)
