We’re sad to see it go, but it’s far too close to the house and we think it’s become a ladder for mice to come through the roof. I’d like to either chip the branches and pines or stack them as a dead hedge. I have a pretty huge veggie garden, so I was thinking of using there.

Anyone done similar and have thoughts about how it worked for you? Thanks!

Zone 8 with clay soil but this area seems to have some dark topsoil on top (might be the site of my grandfather’s old pig pen). It’s been graded and tilled with a subsoiler so I’d like to get something seeded this month since there’s invasive privet all around with some seeds and root parts left in this area.

Should I sow a green manure crop (hairy vetch) soon and maybe cow peas later or just cover with a tarp to solarize it? Any ideas or thoughts welcome. TIA.

Hi all! I just received a gift of 3 bare root blueberry plants, and I was wondering what best practices were in terms of putting them in the ground. ( I have no idea what type of blueberry.) I’m in zone 8a and it’s about 45 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now – will get down to about 40 tonight. Thanks in advance for any advice!

So if I had a property with purchase price of 120k, could this be set up as a straight lease to own? $1000 per month for 10 years. The lease then converts to ownership. Could there be a conservation easement that ensured regenerative practices? Is this even legally possible in the US?
There would be legal work to be for sure to set this up. Would this adequately mitigate the inherent exploitive nature of owning land? If not, are there any other models that can be followed?

this question comes up a lot here… any thoughts or ideas very welcomed…
