Wife just retired and for some reason she is really hung ho on this project. I planted potted miscanthus along my driveway years ago and we harvested rhizomes last summer and replanted them. Did it pretty much the wrong way (in the 95 degree heat and planted them up and down instead of...

Got some of all that including simazine. I weed whacked around it a couple times and it shot up past the weeds but no competition would be much better.

Have you looked into any herbicide? I was too busy to do anything with it last summer but would like to be able to spray around it

I used a tree dibble for a much smaller project. Was still pretty easy. I’m with you that filling the trench does not sound fun.

“Damascus Station” is good spy fiction book if you enjoy that kind of entertainment. Have heard more than one former company man say on podcasts that Damascus was their favorite place they were stationed- which doesn’t compute for me. There are some real bastards there.

Thanks John. Appreciate all the help you give here!

That is a very cool pic.

Is it correct that after I upgrade my L’s to gen 3.3 software I won’t have to upgrade my software in the future? I haven't upgraded software since last spring.

That would only be the start of it. Listened to a deal about alternate currencies and China wants to do their own. Not only to help keep money within its borders but the currency itself would be controlled in how you spend it. It would be coded so you can spend it on this but not that. They...

Brother in law did heavy woven wire around the bottom and a single hot wire out away from the fly pen His pen is mostly scavenged stuff, much smaller than recommended. My batting cage in my shed was bigger.

My brother in law has raised pheasants the last two years. Last winter was really mild, no snow and he did not hunt them. He had some birds around this spring. I should ask him if he ever saw any chicks last spring on the loose. He did pheasants and then quail this summer. We are having a...

Since it’s so rare there must be another step in the deal other than just ingesting. Or some folks have the right gene or whatever. Hope they figure out a cure either way, just sounds terrible.

I had never heard of prions until today. Article said they destroy surgical instruments they suspect are contaminated with. Dayam.

I text with the guy that has permission to hunt the farm next to me. At about 2pm the day before firearm season: “I still have to shoot my new rifle” At about 9am opening day: “I shot at a big one. If I hit him he may have gone onto yours”. Wonder if he sees any correlation between the two...
