[QUOTE="Tymurrey, post: 403751, member: 859"] I don't water any of my tree rows, i don't have the time or the setup to do it. With that said, my junipers and cedars that the soil conservation planted look better after a couple of years than the ones i hand planted with no fabric do after a decade. Caraganas grow fast and seem to do well, buffaloberry has been hit or miss with me. It seems like a lot die compared to other trees but that is also because the shrubs are planted at twice the amount due to the closer spacing. I plan on about 40% die off the first year and then reduce it by half each year after that with fabric and no water or care other than some herbicide in spring going into pasture ground. If i were you in your situation i would either plant next to the old rows or plant between them to give the renter room to still farm and wait to remove the old ones until the new ones are big enough. If going into cropland you could get some really good (100% or close) cost share on the new rows. You have the opportunity to have some fun by planting new and leaving the old which you won't lose any hunting ground and minimal loss in cropland. [/QUOTE]
