I always have said, only the smart turkeys come to the calls. The rest wander aimlessly. It's like hunting deer that have had a lobotomy. The smart ones are rare. :)

I'm pretty sure dogwood and Willow have their own natural rooting hormone as long as you rough up one side and plant them nodes up into the ground up a few nodes deep you should be fine The biggest problem I've experienced with them is that the deer will eat them before they get a chance to...

I had some winter rye in a 3 acre field that I needed to kill off for this year's switch grass I applied Simazine last week at 2 quarts in acre. I would like to plant Norway spruce around the perimeter next weekend do you think it is safe to do so?

I also have used Mike for tubes, mats and nutripods. Super good guy!

I do the same! Work great! I buy the 10 or 12 foot chunks and cut in half. A little more bang for your buck.

I use to, but reside in Chatfield

My town is split into two counties. I'm on the fillmore side. Looking forward to IA resident tag prices! By land mass, MN is essentially a Republican state minus 3 festering blue dots in the Metro, Duluth and Rochester. 78 of 87 counties voted red in 2024.

I have planted about 100 Norway Spruce in SE MN and havent caged them and they seem to be doing pretty well (minus the few I mowed down). Got the 24 to 36" variety from Yellow River Nursery. I have another 200 coming this year. Seem to grow decently fast. I would transplant more cedar, but...

Yellow River does ship or you can pick up in Marshfield, WI. I will say Scott is awesome to work with and there are no surprises. I highly recommend YR. However, trying to spread your dollars matters and looking to add some Arrowwood this year, so I think I will give the IDNR a shot with at...

I'm considering saving some cash and buying some trees from IOWA DNR for next spring. In the past, I have used places like Morse Nursery and Yellow River Nursery and have good things to say about both. However, I'm looking at purchasing some Arrowwood (which I can't get from either commercial...

Good luck. They aren't the most robust trees in my limited experience planting 2 years ago. I have some replacements coming this year on warranty. Iowa, being further south, should help.

I wouldn't plant cave in, plant RC tecumseh or big rock

Stick with Spartan. Worth the little extra and the durability make up most of the difference over time.

Yellow River gets a thumbs up. I have also used Morse, they are expensive, but have a few species you won't find at Yellow River.

Stakes-10ft 3/4 inch PVC (from Menards) cut in half worked well for me. Miracle tubes are worth the price unless you unlimited time to mess around with the knock offs.
