    Very nice looking garden!! We had gardens for many years and not only enjoyed working it but gifting a lot of the production to friends,family and neighbors. Had to quit about 10 years ago due to all of the critters getting to the fruits of our labor before we did:hair:. Tried several types of fencing and nothing kept them out, only solution was going to be a 7’ tall woven wire or wooden fencing. The deer herd has pretty much exploded here in the last 20 years and with the coons adding to the destruction had to throw in the towel. If you could keep the critters from jumping over the fence the smaller fawns and coons would just go under! Really miss the fresh produce and what we would put up for future use in the pantry. Some will say to just hunt and kill more deer and we do hunt our property but getting the deer numbers down significantly isn’t really an option. Hope your son has better luck and keep us posted! Thanks!

    Got a little chain upgrade, maybe this will help on the stump grinding and cutting blowdowns off of stumps when logs are dirty.
    Got Forester chain from Amazon, it feels ok. The Stihl chain came from FleaBay, it feels sharp...

    Let us know how it works. I dulled a couple chain on dirty logs yesterday. Not that often I cut skidded logs, stump cut offs etc.

    I tried the Stihl Duro chain yesterday. It seems to cut very well, especially for a carbide chain. I'll get a video when we're on the woodyard. Cut white oak in the woods.

    Any dirt or mud on the logs? Did you intentionally hit dirt and see of it affected the cutting? Kind of a dumb question I know.

    Dirt, cut a big crotch that was half buried and then the log from the stump, had some dirt on it.

    Got a few new logs to process, part of what we have cut the past couple weeks. White oak and hickory from Hurricane Helene 20260613_124008.jpg
