I've had better luck keeping mine from drying out by using the Rootmaker caps. Share a better image of the dryness of your potting mix. https://myrootmaker.com/collections/rootcaps https://rootmaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/RootCapE.pdf

Mix some soil moist crystals in the holes to help retain water.

Check PerfectCircle.farm for tree recommendations. Buzz is in Vermont, so zone 4. He's been trying all sorts of stuff to see what survives. What kind of annual rainfall do you get there? Could be a limiting factor too.

I kind of forget that special regulation areas are around. The only local (Montco) deer hunting I do is Flintlock.

Yeah. I know you're in PA, and there aren't any straight wall mandates here, except maybe for a few state parks, or something fringe. Do you need straight wall, or just interested in them?

If you're still taking folks like this on a hunt, I'd suggest something with a suppressor. I have a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 30-caliber suppressor. It's comical how little recoil there is. Starting on 1/1/26, there's no more $200 suppressor tax stamp. ATF approval times are generally days, assuming...

You sure? Grabagun.com lists 28 .350 Legends for under $500. Two are Winchester XPRs.

LOL. Keystone sells PowerAg. I saw this on their website in parallel to my forum posts. I emailed PowerAg to see where their closest dealers were to me at home and camp. I also asked them which product would be the best AMS replacement for the stuff I spray and shared the water test result pics...

Good point. Your math is off. I paid $96 for 2.5 gallons, or $38.40/gallon. Rate is 1-2q/100 gallons 2.5g = 10 quarts $9.60/100 gallons at 1q/100g (800 gallon coverage per 1 g product) OR $19.20/100 gallons at 2q/100g (400 gallon coverage per 1 g product)

How high of an iron level would push you to Hel-Fire? Water tests attached. (Second column in the pic with two columns) The well water also has manganese.

Can you expand on the technical explanation? I know I need the AMS because we have hard water. With glyphosate and other herbicides being weak acids, you have to change the pH of the water to keep the herbicide from bonding with the water. If these other products and their additives didn't help...

Old thread, but I'm curious if anyone else is using adjuvants besides AMS, surfactants, and crop oils? I recently stopped at Helena chemical to look for some liquid AMS/Nitrosurf. They didn't have it, but the guy sold me something called Hel-fire. It seems like a more catch all type additive...

Looks dry

We have a 4' tow behind crimper. I think it lays the plants down in a much nicer way. Mowing can get clumpy and uneven. It's not a must have, my but if you can swing it definitely a nice tool to have.

You need to kill the roots. Herbicide is the normal approach. Paint brushing stumps is a lot better as invasive than spraying acreage. Glyphosate is colorless. If you can't use herbicide, you'll have to pull the regrowth with something like a tree puller or grapple or a root rake. How many...
