I'd love to participate in the exchange this year. I will be able to collect bur oak acorns from some beautiful old trees, red oak acorns and Osage Orange if anyone's interested. Just looking for some DCO this year. Thanks everyone! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have used a compost tea in my vegetable garden in the past. I used it regularly for a few weeks and it really boosted my plants. I used a purchased product so I'm not sure I can be of any help to you though. Just be sure to dilute it with plenty of water. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Once they drop this fall, I would love to contribute Bur Oak acorns for anyone looking to trade for these. The acorns would be from oaks native to my property in SE Nebraska. Guessing the trees to be 80-100+ years old... Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I would love to take a few DCO'S and some sawtooth if you have a few.

Thanks for the post shedder. It would be wonderful to see the return of the American Chestnut.

I sure hope they get tired enough of hearing it that they reverse their ruling. Breaking the law, is breaking the law. Doesn't matter who you are.

That sounds expensive but it's in the ballpark. If you are having it done this winter I would ask the contractor how they plan to protect the concrete from the temperatures. I would insist they cover it with insulated blankets for 2 to 3 days if it's going to be near freezing outside.

Oh boy, I can see that happening. Hopefully they didn't charge you too much for getting concrete stuck in the trailer box. [emoji16] The pull behinds I am thinking of have a drum that revolves like a concrete truck would.

Do you have a Honeyman or United rental around you? They would be a starting point. You could also call a local concrete supplier and see if they could point you in the right direction.

A pull behind is a great idea. I had forgotten all about those.

I have some recommendations on how to avoid issues with "cold joints"(when you pour fresh concrete against concrete that has already started to set). It will be more labor intensive though. Let me know if you'd like to discuss it as it's something that would be best conveyed over the phone.

If you are going to be pouring on top of existing Concrete you need to make sure you get good adhesion between the new and old. You can buy products at your local hardware store that you apply to the top of the old concrete before pouring the new that are effective at doing this. Make sure the...

You could but if you have any quantity to mix at all you will regret it. Get the mixer from your hunting property or rent one. It'll be money well spent.

Three inches deep is more than adequate with modern high strength Concrete. I don't work at the concrete plant so I can't tell you of the top of my head how much gravel is used in the Sand and Gravel mixes we commonly use. I can check some data sheets when I get back to the office on Monday and...

I work in the concrete industry and would be glad to provide any information I can. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.
