[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 161662, member: 605"] Planted several miles of trees using a bunch of tillage. Keep the dirt loose. Cultivate before weeds get ahead and suck everything out the soil. Used a weed badger between the trees which worked great because the dirt was loose between rows. Today, most programs won't get involved if you don't use weed fabric/barrier. Burned too many times by fellows with good intentions and then let the weeds get ahead. Just a guess. I'm not a fan of weed barrier because a person cannot do a decent job of cultivating between rows. They want weed barrier. Weeds will sprout out of the same hole in the fabric as the tree. DO NOT pull these weeds around the tree during dry periods/conditions. By loosening the soil, it will dry out and your tree will die. Cultivate the shit out of the ground the year before. If creeping jenny shows up you will want to get that under control first. Haste makes waste. Get in a hurry and that weed will make you cuss for several years. There are shortcuts such as Princep herbicide. Does it throttle the tree seedlings some? Can't say for sure. [/QUOTE]
