    2018 gardens and plots

    2018 gardens and plots

    Temps have been pretty mild the past week or two but we have still had frost up until late last week. Winter doesn’t seem to want to go away even for us down in Alabama. Rain has been crazy too always heard plant on Good Friday for us down here, but have rarely seen anyone planting anything so...

    2018 gardens and plots

    Lol yup inherited it so going to give my first go at a garden this year! My grandad must've known about that truck because it is slightly over filled (he's been gone several years now so I can't ask him, actually I wouldn't have inherited it because he would still be using it lol) but so far it...

    2018 gardens and plots

    So maybe my grandads is closer to mkd to late 80s then. Not sure when the horse tillers had the 8 hp Kohler engines on them. Anywbo hoping to slowly expand my garden a little each year depending on how well it goes each year lol. Sent from my LG-V500 using Tapatalk

    2018 gardens and plots

    I got my corn in the ground last week. Haven’t had time, and the ground has been swamped from a lot of rain, but I’m hoping to get the other seeds in the ground towards the end of the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    2018 gardens and plots

    Got my ground tilled up. Going to get 2-3 inches of rain tomorrow and then temps drop down to the thirties Monday and Tuesday night. Planning on tilling in fertilizer next week and then planting seeds and tomato plants after the cold nights. Was hoping to fertilize before the rain but ran out of...

    2018 gardens and plots

    It is. I got the belts adjusted on this one today. Needs new ones but I think they will last for now. Probably will change them in the winter. Hoping now that I got the top scraped a little the dirt will dry out faster so I can till and get the ground ready for planting soon! Sent from my...

    2018 gardens and plots

    Got a late start but got the ground opened up yesterday hopefully for it to dry out some so it will be easier to till in a few days. Been raining a lot but hoping to get the ground ready before the planting day on 4/16 down here. Using my grand dads tiller he tilled his garden with for 30+ years...

    Upgrades to Echo CS-590

    Agreed Lowe’s was $32 plus tax for the same chain my local shop was $35 total so I figure that’s their regular price and just supported them instead of Lowe’s. Can’t hand file worth a dang and barely got what I wanted to get some storm trees down to for who I was helping so I went ahead and got...

    Upgrades to Echo CS-590

    Thanks I’m looking at the 20” 72dl archer pro bar and chain when my echo bar wears out. It’s much easier to get 72dl chains around here because no one spins chains anymore. Talked my stihl dealer into it once and they said they can’t do it anymore. If I have to replace the tip after a while I’m...

    Upgrades to Echo CS-590

    How hard is it to change tips? Do you have to have a special tool for the rivet on the new one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Have had my Nissan hardbody loaded to the bump stops and past them several times lol we have had the bumpers almost dragging the ground a few times. Not recommended but Dad used to haul whole flats of bricks in ore hard body nissans. Could only go 25 mph but it got them home. Oh and have pulled...

    Echo cs-490 vs Makita/Dolmar 5121/510

    While I love my cs-590. I would also probably like a dolmar just as well. Only thing that sucks about Alabama is there are maybe 2-3 dolmar dealers in the whole state I think? There are 5-10 echo and stihl dealers and 3 husqvarna dealers fairly close to me. I would choose a dolmar over a stihl...
