    The Year of The Oaks

    I have about 10 Q. michauxii that were planted about 30 yrs ago. They are producing, but quite intermittently, much like Q. alba. When they do produce the deer key in on them like no other, though. They look like a large white oak acorn, but they must be even more palatable. Wish I would've...

    Adapter card?

    I have a Sandisk micro sd adapter card (32g). Can it be used in a trailcam as is? Seems like it should be ok, but I'm not sure. Not sure how I got it, but found it while cleaning out a drawer the other day so would like to use it if possible. Thanks for any help. Mark

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    How much thatch was on there when he did this? And do you know if it was a spike or plug-type aerator?

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Did your chain harrow not "rake" up a bunch of thatch into piles or bunches. Or did you not have much thatch?

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Well, I do use radishes and turnips, but usually by the following planting season the plot usually still could use some soil exposure. I just want to do it with as little disturbance as possible.

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Well, I already have a disc so I guess I'm all set then. :) I used to use it on the aggresive setting so I'll straighten it out and see how that works. I suppose it's just gonna have to be a balancing act between germination, too many weeds, and keeping the soil biology intact.

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like it may not be what I'm looking for then.

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Why did it not work well? Just weeds?.... or was it more than that?

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Just seems like it would up the odds on germination compared to the "normal" throw and mow/roll methods. Just not sure how it would be on soil after a gly burndown. Don't know if it would be too aggressive or not aggressive enough. Hopefully it would be just right.

    lawn aerator for throw and mow?

    Been trying to come up with something to expose some soil without real tillage. I think a rotary hoe would probably do it but not easy to find in a small size. I don't want something that drags like a spike tooth harrow cause it would rake up the thatch too much. What do you think about a...

    dismantling trailcam

    Does anyone know how to take apart a moultrie cam (D-50)? Mine got ants in it and it quit working so just wanted to see what I can see inside. There are two screws at the top but the bottom won't open up and there is nothing obvious holding it together. Thanks for any help. Mark

    Some sort of thicket forming fruit?

    In the second pic especially, it looks like it has opposite leaves so it could be one of the viburnums(blackhaw , nannyberry, etc.) See if it checks out.

    When to mow?

    FarmerD, I agree, no need to be pristine. I just want at least an 80-90% percent kill so I can do either a throw and mow or light tillage plot. Unfortunately, I do not have a no-till planter(yet?) Once the plot is established I'm ok with some weeds as long as it's not totally out of control.

    When to mow?

    Well, it just looks so much easier to use than a regular sprayer, plus the no drift thing. I think I would opt for the attachment to fel bucket though. You could easily adjust the height that way.

    When to mow?

    So if it's short and tall and maybe too thick it might have to be done in two stages or so. My other question is: is there any way to effectively shut off the flow once you've started. Or do you have to use all of the solution up once you've started?

    When to mow?

    So does the weed bar work well for burning down a field before planting? Would be a lot easier than spraying it appears.

    What do you think is going on here?

    Agree with Charleston. One of the Nectria cankers maybe.

    Multi flora rose?

    Looks to be more rose-like to me, but as to whether it's multiflora or some native rose it's hard to say from the picture alone. But, it will be easy to tell once it leafs out. Multiflora roses have a feathery or fringed looking stipule, which is a structure at the base of the leaf right where...
