I use a kitchen scale. I get the area of the plot, figure out what I want in it, and then figure how much I need of each type of seed. I weigh out each component and dump it in a bag and label the bag. I give it a good shake to mix it up before spreading and dump it in an Earhway chest...

Also means the company thinks the stock is way undervalued. Good time to buy for a long hold.

Deer and other wildlife eat them. Also they are the only tropical type fruit that grows so far north, so people enjoy them, too.

I bout a little more AMZN today after it plummeted. I'll keep buying as long as it keeps falling.

I have 2 of those in 2 different sizes. Really happy with them.

The one I was talking about had a row of millet on each side of the sunflowers, and then they tilled a row between the millet rows. So it would be tilled, millet, sunflower, millet, tilled. The tilled rows gave them a place to land, then they would walk around eating seeds.

When I get a mill I'm going to cut down a big beech or maple and cut slabs for Viking chairs to have around the fire pit.

Guilty and guilty. Had a 1989 Chevy Caprice. Sweet car for a teenager.

Not Soros?

Heh. Dog's anus? I always called it medlar. I would like to plant some, but the harvest period is so variable and narrow. Probably worth grafting one near the house. I've been grafting pear onto rowan, but it's sloooowwww, and pears don't thrive in Norway. I'll identify some good...

Cool, thanks. All of those are on my radar. I'll start planning for next year. Hopefully get my holes dug and cages in place this summer.

Most people just put an old tire on the drag harrow. You could fill the tire with water if you need extra weight.

It's a possibility. The people who don't bother getting the replacement basically give Starkntheir money. The trees that die can pslossibly be written off the bottom line to lower their taxes. Interesting thought.

B-118 is notorious for leaning trees. I only ever considered it because it is supposed to tolerate wet soil. I was then steered toward P-18 instead. All my apples are on M-111 and Antonovka, but I will be planting some on P-18 and Dolgo in the future. I'd steer clear of B-118 if I were you...

It's basically peat moss and fertilizer with a huge mark-up. You can make your own for a fraction of the price, and get better results. I'll use miracle grow on established plants if I get it for free, but I won't ever buy it, and I won't use it in pots.
