Good Apple Crop this year....... But then I kind of kept the deer out after June..... So what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Luke and I squeezed 2 bushels through this little press in no time and came out with 4 gallons of absolute liquid gold. We put anything...

I thought with all the interest in wildlife shrubs that I would start a thread and highlight a number of them. I love shrubs and have planted hundreds. Hopefully, this can be a valuable resource for anyone looking to put in a new planting, or screen their property with shrubs. And we can put...

If i am ever going to grow a pine tree, other than the odd and end that i plant smack middle of a brush pile, then i am going to have to tube. But honestly i dont know how this works on pine trees. Has anyone here done this? Deer on the Home 10 wouldnt eat a pine tree if you soaked it in...

I began planting this sterile grass 3 years ago. I am very impressed with its ability to screen. I am using it as a road screen on Little Blue because the utility will not allow a red cedar to grow anywhere near their power lines.:mad: But their killing herbicides don't affect the grass...

I wanted to start a fall crabapple thread on my top 5 crabapple trees I have growing on the home 10. These are my top 5 and not necessarily the best 5 for anyone else to plant. Here is the history: About ten years ago I purchased the adjoining 5 acres beside my original 5 acres where my house...

I wanted to get started on my habitat thread again. I can't imagine how tough this is for those who lost years of blogging on the QDMA site. I only had a few months in the bag. This thread will also cover my home 10, where I built a home in a ten acre corn field and immediately built up the...
