I ended my last post with an abrupt keystroke. I was closing with the fact that this would be a late summer or early fall project. Doubletree I am sure you have taken on this venture before with all your experience.

Transplanting small trees I have a question for the experts here. I had an interesting offer from a local farmer. He has tons of small cedar trees from 1 ft to 2 ft tall growing all over and said I could take as many of them I want. Have any of you dug up small trees like this before and...

I think they are like those pots that you can just bury in the soil to decompose. I came home today and have a few more sprouting so I am going to put them in bigger pots.

I am not sure what brand of cells they are. I bought them at Lowes and they are the biodegradable type. They are smaller than 4 inches though. The containers have small pencil size holes in the bottom and the roots are coming through these holes in some of the cells. Just feel that maybe I...

Next step for my acorn seedlings I am starting to see some sprouts above the soil and out the bootom of the palnter cells. The 18 count cells I used are about 2 inches deep. Do I need to move the sprouted acorns into bigger cells now or can they stay in these small ones for a while yet? It...

Turkey decoys I couldn't help but chime in on these decoy posts. I hunt in SD and have never had the need for these expensive decoys. We kill several turkeys with archery gear every spring using cabelas brand decoys and a killer b or b-mobile. I will admit that the DSD decoys look amazing...

Moisture in rootmaker cells How wet does the soil need to be in the rootmaker cells with my acorns? Also how long should it roughly take to see something happening?

Di-calcium phosphate Where can I find this stuff. I have looked around here in sioux falls some and haven't had any luck. Any other names for it. I would like to try mAking my own sites this year, used commercial name brands last year and they get quite expensive. Thanks, Bryan

I planted red a nd white oaks, red cedar, blue spruce, ponderosa pine, crabapple, plum, and caragana for the shrub row in our shelter belt. The red crafts didn't fare too well, may have got some bad seedlings as this is a hardy tree usually. I would definitely tube the hardwood trees and maybe...

Greg, I too just joined the forum and am establishing a piece of land near mills,NE. I grew up in Gregory and get back often to hunt with my dad. Maybe we can compare notes and learn together. We just started overhauling this piece of land last year with planting 600 trees and putting in...

Great thanks again for all your info in the different threads I have posted questions on!

What to spread if anything? We pasture fall cows on a good portion of our land, but I have the good cover (the creak,river bottom, and woods) fenced off from the cattle for the wildlife. I would like to thicken the grass cover in these areas to provide some bedding for the deer. The weeds are...

What kind of spring oats Dbltree: what kind of spring oats are in the mix that you have listed? There are several at welters. Also, I could not find the 6040 field peas. This looks like a good plot from the pics you have posted over the years.

Sounds good I think I will get started this weekend. I will let you know if I have any success.

Do you have to crack the acorns when planting Question for the experts. I frigerated some red oaks I picked up last fall and plan to plant in cells. New to all of this so do I just plant the acorn in the potting soil or do I need to open the shell first if not sprouting. How deep do you...

I think I will try the raptor if the problem comes back. Thanks

Similar product to biologic maximum? Does welter's or anyone else have a mix that is similar to biologic maximum? I have used this stuff the last two years and the deer have went nuts over it. It just keeps climbing in price and I have seen where you guys talk about steering away from the...

Buffalo bur sticker weeds in clover Dbltree I did not have any grass or broadleaf problems in my clover plots I planted last spring, but they became overrun with a yellow flowered sticker that I recently discovered as buffalo bur. I used the biologic clover plus brand, so it also has chicory...

I actually have some raptor I got from my father in law and was going to try it this year. Thanks.

Buffalo Bur in Clover I am brand new to the forum and have found the info here very useful. Thanks to all who contribute. My property is located in south-central SD/north-central NE. I have a couple of biologic Clover Plus plots and last year had a huge problem with a yellow stickered weed...
