    tree working and hernias

    damn, that sux to get it twice, but glad you're already past surgery. Mine took 8 weeks for light duty work, but still felt like I couldn't go 100% until the 14th or 15th week. that light duty was still good for lifting about 40-50 pounds

    You can shave them down, but some are too far gone sometimes, and then what? I suppose that is what I need to ask each nursery

    Damn dude, that's a helluva blow out. Definitely food for thought.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    The one's I've seen have a bit of taper, flared wider to the top. I have never unboxed a tree, as I have learned by trial and error that I tend to get much nicer results from planting very young trees. It doesn't take long for them to become so vigorous that they catch up, and yield a better...

    Every municipality I have checked about here requires boxes specifically. We definitely have options here, but they all insist on the same. Sounds like a nursery that actually did things right could potentially be a good business.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    I considered asking if I could get B&B, but I am already getting them to stray from their rules to get a species that makes more sense in that site than what's on their list, and they sounded adamant in reiterating that it must be a "minimum 24" box tree" I would love to get the specs for that...

    I did not know, or I've forgotten if it's been discussed, that there is such a thing as a 48" auger. Which machine do you run that on?

    how big was the auger? that doesn't seem wide enough to plant a 24" box... I would like to see at minimum, a 36" wide hole, and really more like 48"-60". I assume that you'd also stop a little short on the depth and then adjust by hand so as not to disturb the soil below the desired depth.

    So like, multiple auger holes right next to eachother, or did you have some kind of super wide auger?

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    Hey guys, despite some well written presentations with peer reviewed research backing up my position, it seems that it is beyond a city arborists power to grant me permission to plant heritage tree replacements from smaller nursery stock. I am happy to share the research if there's any doubt...
