Another trick is to spread some no till seed, thrn spread some more a few weekd later. Deer like ypunger rye, like 4 to 8 inch ramge Are you planting in oat stubble?

I was noticing the birds last week. The birds were on thr mature trees eating bugs. Think young trees dont offer perxh or predayor protection. Thinking thatd why young ones get hit harder. Look ibyo tsnglefoot. Atleast they cant hit another tree. If youre organic. I dont think that...

Malathion works good. Soak it i have a wand extension for my spayer. Probably could use a atv sprayer.

Poorsand, Next years project is adding bees. Dont want another hobby though. Just setup their habitat, maybe mason bees. Need to do homework.

Bought arkansas black from them ladt year. Its doing well. Had a saturn peach die, thry gave me a refund. Bought a macoun with the refund.

Was temptedto order from them. They also have local variants of several trees. They calk them sports. They have 2 or 3 different empire sports, thunk they had different macouns too. Also have saturn donut peaches. Blue hill does sell rubyrush.

onlybrowning, You do anything to your plots yet? It's not too late to get a summer plot in. Could buy buckwehat, or spread oats and a few different clovers. Those clovers make nitrogen, which the excess nitrogen is liked by grasses n weeds. The trick is to introduce plants you want to...

Actually that POS 15 gallon you could stuff underneath or make a hanger off the front. Got a 2nd chemical you can spray while youre out there. Like triclopyr for brushy edges or apple tree sprays.

I got a franklin at home. IT's still yuong, but cummins calls it a bloom group 4. It didn't bloom yet, but it seemed the buds broke maybe a little bit before my liberty did. My liberty was drowning in buds when I planted it in 2023, no flowers on it this year. I did prune both agressively...

Seeing the thread / comments recently about frosts ruining our trees. Anybody have some good recommendations for late blooming trees? Also, I tried to keep most of my home orchard bloom group 3 and 4. However, does bloom group relate to how late the buds start waking up. Or are there...

howboutthemdawgs, Got any pics of the sprayer spraying? Also, for the orchard guys, would be nice to see how high that thing can spray with the wand. Also, folks would appreciate extra tanks for their side by sides, if your done with those tanks. turkey creek, I saw your post in march...

I've had food plot seed mixes over the years that had some crimson clover. PRetty much doesn't come back the next year here in the hudson valley NY. Pretty much always wanted a field of it. Nitrogen would be nice though. I bought a monster 13hp walk behind rototiller last fall, will...

Peeps. I do plan on using the powder, bought the liquid for 1st run to learn amounts. I am using a new to me backpack sprayer. Was going to do a trail run with just water to see what it does far as concentrations needed. I do have a 15 gallon sprayer. I only have 3 mature trees left. But...

Far as mature goes, do you wait for the seed heads to go brown/black?

ID give them a 2nd dose of sevin when you can get a break in the rain. I had a bad spell of catepillars here, used the bonide fruit tree spray and it worked ok, used 1.5oz/gal. Sevin is the main insecticide in that one. I just got some imidan, but need to setup my supplied air respirator...

For folks who use imidan, how do you mix it. I have the leaf blower, but my msture trees are flowering. Is it ok to spray ypung trees wuth no flowers while sone have flowers. About 2/3rds of my young trees are flowerless, but getting hit hard with small black catepillars. I also have neem...

Where did you get the tree? It's got to be something they offered. IF you have an older picture of the color code they painted on it. Take a picture of the lower part of the tree. Does the tree have a noticeable graft union? This might be part of an experiment I am doing.. M111 rootstock...

They a one and done seed producing plant? Mow it low when the seed heads are 1/2 way along? I feel medium red is close to being a one seed crop plant, atleast by me in NY. Could be a good last year of the plot thing to do to cut down on seeds if doing no-till.

KDog, When I nuked, then mowed my foodplot last summer, the voles cames out in droves. Litterally saw hundreds of them. The real idiots who got chopped in the mower and visible were about 30-40 in a 1/3 acre foodplot. I let the rye grow to maturity with mixed clovers. The year before I...

Hope the thread goes another ten years. IT would be nice to see what you planted in 2014. How they're doing now. Maybe hear how your tastes in varieites, rootstocks, and planting techniques changed over the decade. My rootmaker pots are outside as of Wednesday. They're on the edge of my...
