What kind of oak? Did you bury the acorns or just laying on top?

Is this project all planted now. I recently finished a 36 acre tree planting project. Getting plenty of good rains, hopefully they continue through the summer!

Looks slick!

I hope so! Curious when I should expect to see some growth popping up?

When should I expect to see growth from fall planted acorns? Did about 1.5 acres of tilling and broadcasting acorns. Didn’t rain for a long time after so I am worried they dried out. Also planted a couple hundred DCO’s by drilling a hole and dropping in the hole. Anxious to see if any make...

Sounds like a fun hunt! Is this a lease she is looking for?

I’m have an echo that i have been really happy with. Not sure of the model but it is one of their big ones. My experience…i went from a handheld to backpack. In every way (almost) the backpack is much better. HOWEVER, i have been thinking of adding back a handheld. I always have my leaf...

Likely will buy the new model that replaced it which is an MT468. Basically the same physical size, similar weight, and similar HP. Someone asked me why I am selling it, the answer is that I like to trade this type of stuff every 5 or so years. Probably can't justify it with only 350 hours....
