You are correct. I usually just let it go😎

No, we dont protect the venemous snakes near the house. A copperhead came within a hair of killing my mountain cur. I have given a few a pass out in the woods

I did not buy a new shaft because of the coupler, the shaft was bent and had to be replaced. I could not find a pto shaft locally at any farm stores, tractor supply, or atwoods. I found another online from another company - but they were out of stock - also China made. Guy there said prices for...

I have a new pto coming in from agri supply - with push pin attachment. The guy I talked to said no reason to get a collared yoke - said they sell by far more push pin because everyone complains about the collared yokes. I didnt realize how difficult it was to find the replacement pto - it is...

I am getting close - I have three tractors😉

You might try something you can spray while growng - wheat/rye and clover. Or just grains or roundup ready crops. Maybe you can have a crop and beat the weeds down a little bit

Several more - but nothing that long

I have learned several things about pto shafts - from agri supply. I just need the inner tube half that attaches to the tractor. They dont sell them that way - because almost every manufacturer of pto shafts evidently uses different size tubing and it is likely a tube from one manufacturer wont...

Same here. I had pretty much pure stands of nwsg. Nothing used it - nothing. So I bush hogged it and lightly disked. Johnson grass. Last year I spray with blazer of roundup and killed it to the dirt. This year I have a fair bit of ragweed, but a lot of marsh elder and johnson grass. It is...

I have more than I can spot spray, now. I think I am going to mow and see if I can reduce the amount and then try spot spraying. Of course, mowing now is going to impact my fall pollinator plants.

My big concern is my pollinator patch. I worked three years to get a good stand of pollinator plants and I dont want them to be collateral damage to getting rid of the SL

They are eating it first of Aug? I was thinking about planting it for doves, but if the deer eat it in Aug, I dont need that.

Will spraying with a fungicide help prevent other apples from getting it?

It starts as a small brown spot and gradually enlarges. It doesnt favor any species - it is slowly getting all of them. Was spraying every few weeks up until about six weeks ago when the rain mostly quit.

Do you plant milo? And if so, do the hogs eat it?
