[QUOTE="USMCDI, post: 49844, member: 1557"] i would double the spacing you are planning on, I keep my rows black for at least five years and depending on the tree, 15 feet will turn into a weed nightmare. When they grow together you won't have enough room to even walk through with a backpack sprayer much less a Ranger or something with a boom or weed roller. I seed grass between the rows with a ten foot grass drill. I had to tear out a row of sandcherries that lived their life and had about enough room to drive a backhoe through when I was done and they were planted 15 feet apart, should have had a 30 foot gap but not the case. If you have the room, do a few at 50 feet and plant cover crops between the rows if you really want deer and critters, deer are going to be your enemy for the first 5 years of your plan. Peppermint oil was a waste of money, get the dried cow's blood and hose it on those young trees. [/QUOTE]
