[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 225544, member: 5993"] Having planted thousands of trees in ND over the years and still planting them, I agree with Allens post 100%! Also, there's lots of pros and cons for fabric. I started using it about 25 or so years ago when it first came out and it was said it lasts about 10 years, then disintegrates. (Like the plastic twine on modern bales that my friend ranchers curse) . Nope, still there, but getting more overgrown with grass all the time,. Worth it? Probably. Sure saves a lot of time tilling, weeding and all that and probably conserves moisture. The enemies of tree plantings are GRASS, WEEDS, and DROUGHT! Be prepared for some or all for the long haul. You cant just plant and forget - wish it were that simple. Hope it all works out for you. IMHO we need more trees in ND! Nice to see someone doing something about it, even if he has an ugly Avatar! Oh yes, buy a bigger tractor than you think you will need. preferably with FWA! [/QUOTE]
