    Dig your own water well?

    Some place out of New Salem, Earth Energy & Water Systems I think it was called. I did talk to someone that recommended I call Paul but I havent gotten around to it yet. What size well did you dig? 4" cased? Did you get your water tested? What was the flow rate? - - - Updated - - - I found...

    Dig your own water well?

    Looks like hard work, but might be fun to try. I called a place for a well quote and they want $60/ft for a 100ft well, with no pump. I can get equipment to do it myself for half that, and can dig as many wells as I want! Got some well reports from state water dept and in my specific area it...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    This is the first year ive gotten cherries on my Evans/Bali cherry and Im surprised how large those are. Still pretty tart and I only got a few... How hard would it be to create a deer proof area for a few cherry bushes? I havent dealt with deer as predators before... Do deer mess with haskap also?

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Are the meteors grafted? If not have you tried taking cuttings or grown any out from seed? I can probably find a few CJ seedlings for you if you want to give them a try...

    Never heard of 'lake menoken', musta been a biggun? Doesnt look like a lake now for sure! Allen, do birds raise hell with your cherries? I have a montmorency tree but its big and doesnt set fruit heavily so I havent tried to net it. Cherries are all gone before they are edible. I really like my...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Id did some research also after watching that video, our ground temps are significantly lower than where that guy is, about 10f. What I was thinking might be fun tho is to grow less hardy varieties of fruits, blackberries and grapes, etc. Using geothermal to provide some heat just on the super...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    I like the idea of installing drip irrigation, was thinking about running the pipes under the plastic and then mulching on top of emitters, around the trees, to discourage animals from messing with them. Thanks for the offer Allen, Ill likely be taking you up on that. Im not too far from your...

    Could your 4120 handle something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ_1_hAnHj4 Also Im thinking a backhoe attachment could come in pretty handy when putting in geothermal for my house and greenhouse!

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    What are your guys opinions on row spacing? The min recommended seems way too close. I think they suggested planting spruce and oaks with rows 15' apart? Seems they should be twice that distance, if you ever expect your trees to get to decent size! Also how necessary is a tractor? Better to buy...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Yeah, its 40 acres. Might build on it eventually but wanted to get some trees going first. Not excited bout living in the middle of a pasture... haha I might just have to pray for rain, keeping up watering a thousand trees seems near impossible.

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Ive tossed around the idea of killing it, discing it a couple times and replanting right away with a pasture mix or maybe just alfalfa. Not sure how late in the fall can do that to avoid significant erosion come spring. I dont know what it is currently, but it aint pretty!

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    For some reason my wife doesnt like blue spruce... Anyone have experience with Norway Spruce? Im thinking maybe I should have the whole area worked and replant with a pasture mix right away. A big concern I have is just smoothing the ground out, once its flat Im assuming it should stay fairly...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Planning to put black hills spruce and scotch pine on the outsides, some burr oak, honeylocust, and maybe sugar maples, northern hackberry and some shrubs, maybe juneberry, aronia and/or chokeberry. Gonna be around 11,000 feet total so Im not sure drip irrigation is doable. Do you install the...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    Yup, they are doing fabric. Pretty neat program they have set up working with the outdoor heritage fund, OHF will pay 60% of cost of trees up to 25k... SC guy said all they NEED is it killed off, but he said results will be better if the ground has been worked, Id rather put in some extra...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    recently picked up a few acres sw of menoken a few miles, its pretty much virgin prairie and fairly rough. Any tips on getting this smooth and ready to plant . Ive heard as soon as you break the ground noxious weeds become an issue. Im planning to have trees planted around the outside by soil...

    The whole country is surviving off borrowed money, we dont produce much anymore, its all a sham. We are living in a house built of cards! Some might find this interesting, I agree with a fair amount that they are saying....
