[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 161679, member: 218"] I've been following along trying to come up with a solution to avoid using weed fabric. Having planted over 6000 on the property I manage I can guarantee your success rate will be a waste of time and money. However.....depending on the number of trees you want to plant and your time frame for planting them, you could plant them in pots an allow them to grow for a minimum of a year. The small tree pots are easy to find and not to expensive if you buy say 50-100 of them. The trees obviously would not be in the ground on day 1, but you would not loose a growing season, and the potted trees would have a strong root system developed, and would have a great success rate by the time you planted them. Obviously the planting part is going to be a little more work, but hey....you'll have 1-2 year old trees when you're done. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I recommend spraying between your tree rows with round up. Planting trees and not having the ability to water them on a regular basis is a bitch. Grasses use up more of your ground water than weeds do. Cutting the grass really does little to slow the use of water in the soil. [/QUOTE]
