So I planted Miscanthus Giganteus grass along the road frontage on the West side of my property in 2015 to create a screen while my norway spruce grow to create a permanent screen. I haven't been doing a good job with weed control as the native grasses have really taken over. I guess I don't...
Seems to me we could start our own association. All of the knowledge and experience is right here in the forum. I never posted much before on the other site but I have read countless hours of information.
I think if we wanted to we could start our own organization and compete with QDMA and not...
Also the 150 Norway seedlings and 50 Yugoslavian Spruce that we planted all took really well and put on a few inches their first year in the ground. Really happy about that.

I would like to provide some hardy forage during winter when the snow hits. But more importantly I would like to build the nutrients in the soil for next year.
I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on whether or not it was too late to throw out some WR and maybe Oats in an overgrown hay field?
I was thinking of liming and fertilizing, spraying glysophate and then seeding this weekend. It looks like temps are still in the 70's for the next 2 weeks or...
I wanted to start a thread to see how other peoples Dunstan Chestnuts have done and to help folks who are thinking about planting some.
Below is a picture of our chestnuts that we planted in 2013 on our farm in Western NY Steuben County.
Here are a few recent pictures from 2016 and 2017...
Thanks, The photo showing the tilled ground under the power lines is where the miscanthus X giganteus grass was planted. It only gets to be about 12 - 15 feet tall.
