Well, my bonus year trees are all planted...

I didn’t really need to plant any this year, but with all the goings on, I decided to put more trees in this year and to put them all along the road side of the property... By fall, they will be 7-8’ tall and make a nice screen.

Since I use a 3000+ year old practice of coppice harvesting, I will not have to replant for at least 20 years.

It is amazing how some of the oldest practices are actually some of the best for production and management.

Yes, I agree with you.

LOL, but get the young to believe you.

It has to be better, if it is new, that is the message the tv has given them, so they think it is true.

I am finding more and more of the greenie/liberal sites are looking for the old information and it is beginning to sound like the hippies have been reborn, only these are not in a
VW Van, they want a garden and roots.

So the cycles go.

Just as Mother Nature planned.
