Is that a brand new seedling from this year? I have one I planted in 2024 in less than ideal sun but it seems like it's going to make it. I hope...
This is exactly where I'm at. I have everything from a top handle to a 94cc covered, with a couple instances of redundancy thrown in there too....
Not a tree but I’ll be planting these next year. Hazelnuts of some kind. My uncle has a huge hazelnut bush at his place that was planted by his...
On the plus side I’ve heard it said that it dries fast so it should be more than good to go for winter 2027-2028. On the minus side, splitting can...

Someday I’m going to have to take a pilgrimage to Michigan to see these for myself. I know there are several populations of healthy American...
If it was me I’d do something along these lines to maximize air flow. That’s the downside of dealing with uniform square pieces. They’re great for...
I believe that's mulberry, of the native red variety as opposed to the invasive white mulberry prolific around these parts. The sticky description...
In the past I've put up with mouse poop on my firewood (under that circumstance it goes from directly outside right into the stove, skipping the...
Try neem oil.
