    Dust masks for soil aeration?

    Thanks for the responses. I’ve never thought about silica dust. I’ll look into getting a mask/ respirator.

    Dust masks for soil aeration?

    How many people are wearing some type of breathing filter for soil aeration? I’m not seeing it on required PPE list for using things like soil knife or air spade? I’ve seen videos of people using the equipment with some sort of breathing filter on. Just curious what people’s thoughts are on this.

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    Let me know what your friend says if you could? My rain barrel seems to be a magnet. But a half disc work really well. Feel like it might even help control the population. Ha.

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    Keep us posted! Just curious do you use those mosquito discs to prevent them from laying eggs? I’ve heard in some FB groups the discs don’t affect plants. I use the discs but I’ve never looked into it more.

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    Interesting stuff. How did the study collect rain water? Was it from ground run off? I might’ve missed that in the article. And how do you collect rainwater? We pump water from a lake surrounded by a golf course to water young trees. Kind of curious what a test would show!? At home I collect...

    Chlorosis treatments?

    So I still need to look at my laptop to see what other pictures I may have. But I found some on google photos. And I have a few pictures from aerating in November 2022. ( I can’t remember if I did any air work before that.) The first google image is Aug 2017. Second is July 2022 ( if you zoom in...

    Deciding between soil injectors?

    Cambistat (the growth regulator I’m using) I don’t need much product. If I ever got into deep root fertilization or etc I would love a spray rig!

    How do Neonicotinoids negatively impact beneficial insects?

    Interesting. I didn’t know it’s banned in Europe. I’ve heard of 2-3 states- it’s a hot topic. I’ll add a link to a study from Dan Potter— showing residual effects of neonics in a two year study below. It’s a strong argument to use the product very selectively (whooly adelgid on hemlock for...

    How do Neonicotinoids negatively impact beneficial insects?

    This tulip poplar has lady beetle larvae battling scale. How would an application of safari via basal drench negatively impact these larvae/ other predators and parasitoids? Other than residual chemicals in the tree next year when it produces flowers and the beneficial insects pollinate it. (I...

    Flying around some weeping cherry trees!

    That’s cool! Beautiful flowers and a climbing tree! Nicely done. That has to be a nice feeling seeing a tree mature like that.

    Flying around some weeping cherry trees!

    I meant to say once I wrecked the drone it was never usable again. It came out of the tree.

    Flying around some weeping cherry trees!

    Took my drone and flew around some weeping cherry trees. I edited out the part where I permanently wrecked it into a tree. Ha. Worth it. March 2022. Kentucky.

    Fertilization Spring Vs. Fall

    Yes the recommendation was from a soil test, however didn't give a time of year for application. The extension office did recommend N and K. I’ll try to attach the picture, but it could be small. Also a recommendation of sulfur. (Although found sources saying to add sulfur in Spring.) Also I...

    deep root feed in the Spring or Fall

    Where could I find this information on oak feeder roots, and timing of fertilization?

    Fertilization Spring Vs. Fall

    Are people using artificial fertilizers in the fall or early winter after leaf drop? Mainly for nitrogen 21-0-0. Although the extension office also recommended some Mariute of potash. Here are some other mixes for adding potash (K2O) after a soil test: (These were just listed on paper from soil...
