I am trying to get prepared for seed starting early next spring. Please post some pics of your indoor setup. I would like to know about lighting, temp. humidity, etc. I will be starting my trees in my basement. Thanks

It was Pro mix Bx with micorrizhea and bio fungicide. Now I need to buy some rootmaker 18s and get my indoor growing setup ready for early next year.

Thanks Wayne, that is exactly what I bought. Found it at home depot. I also bought some Osmocote Plus there. I thought I would get them on sale being toward end of season but nothing was on sale. At another local garden supplier I bought a 60 pound cube of Pro Mix Bx with micorizhea for 43...

So my hydrated chestnuts should be placed in a ziplock bag with holes in one side. I should put some of the long leaf sphagnum peat moss in the bag to stratify, correct?

What dibble bar did you order? Getting ready to order one myself. When you try yours out please post a review.

Paw paw is shade tolerant. I know that is not a hard mast and not sure how beneficial it is to deer. I am planting a few at my place this fall.

I'm thinking about trying the new grunt call made by Hooks Custom Calls. It's called The Messenger If I remember right. I saw it on Growing Deer TV on Youtube.

I use Muzzy 4 blade 100 grain. They have worked well for me for a long time. However these newer mechanicals like the Rage etc are light years ahead of the mechanicals that first came out years ago. I may try them this year. I tried some of the first mechanicals and was disappointed. I went back...

I started out with and still have the following bows, a Browning Wasp recurve when I was a kid. My first compounds were Hoyt Defiant Fast Flight, and Parker Super Mag 35. Now I have a Bow Madness.

I have been wondering about this as well. I have never grafted a tree yet, but I do have some supplies, (grafting knife, tape, etc) and have been trying to learn on the internet. I have tons of hickory on my farm but no pecan as far as I know. I would like to have some pecan. Maybe this would be...

Those trees look great. I remember hearing about Concordias a few years ago and that they were available from MDC. I was going to order some but I kept putting it off. Looks like I may have missed out. I hope they have them available again this year.

Thanks for some more good info. I hope you find some late droppers that carry on that trait. I'd love to have a few seeds when you do.

Do any of you have a Savage 220 slug gun. I bought one late last year and am getting it ready for this years Illinois gun season. I have a Evolution Gun Works mount on the way and I have a Nikon 2-7 x 32 shotgun scope I plan on using. I have some questions. What height scope rings do you use...

Once again wbpdeer, another excellent thread. Lots of great info and photos too. Keep it up. I have wanted a greenhouse for years. When I look for info online and youtube, its a little overwhelming. So many styles and designs. When I was a freshman in High School Horticulture class we built a...

I really like what you're doing here. This forum is very fortunate to have you here wbp. Thanks for all your hard work. I'll be contacting you so I can be on the list as well.

I like this thread, good information so far. Oaks I've planted here in W. Central Illinois are Sawtooth, Gobbler Sawtooth, Overcup, Bucks Unlimited SWO, Kimberley (Bur x SWO) and DCO. They are still young and I cannot really comment on their tolerance to drought conditions. For the most part I...

Last fall I planted 2 Bucks Unlimited Oaks which are SWO and a Kimberley Oak which is a natural cross between Bur and SWO. They were potted trees and seem to be doing very well so far. I really hope they do what the descriptions in the catalog said.

Yes I have some experience. I've grown some potted Dunstans from Chestnut Hill, some potted and Bare root from Stark Bros. and have limited experience starting from seed.

This is fantastic information. I really like what your doing here. Keep it up. The pictures are very helpful. Thank you
