    #### Monsanto

    Just thought I'd leave these here..... http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2014/03/rootworm-resistance-bt-corn/ http://www.offthegridnews.com/2014/01/06/farmers-abandoning-gmo-seeds-and-the-reason-will-surprise-you/

    newbie big tree questions

    How many of those things did you do alone?

    #### Monsanto

    David, your second sentence is utterly incorrect. What is it that makes you think that we are banned from consuming gmo's? People in the US eat gmo's from all these crops: Soy - '96 (difficult to find a packaged product not containing some form of soy) Corn - '96 (difficult to find a packaged...

    Oak Wilt and tree trimming

    ..................No ferts.......unless a soil test says your soil is deficient in something. Aerate and fill with COMPOST. Every few feet (2-4) in a grid pattern, a couple inches diameter. Mulch at the surface, around the trunk (without placing mulch against the trunk) for as much area as...

    #### Monsanto

    So are you saying that all the countries which have banned GMO's have done so because they FEAR ADDITIONAL PROFITS from each acre? It's cute that you're able to ignore facts and magnify hyperbole in your efforts to pimp the GMO's. Shill much?

    #### Monsanto

    Still spreading BS like it's peanut butter..... Apparently you think the "scientific community" consists of Monsatano's and Syngenta's labs, which are paid to APPROVE those products, not TEST them. Institute for Responsible Technology - Doctors Warn: Avoid Genetically Modified Food Doctors...

    #### Monsanto

    It's not terribly difficult to compare the health of countries where gmo's have never been allowed to the health of the USA. Countries banning gmo's are not doing so because they fear additional profits from agriculture. But no worries, were healthy in America, right? Oh, wait......not so much...

    #### Monsanto

    No personal offense intended, but this is TOTAL BS. By the very definition of GMO (genetically modified organism)......Genetically engineered or genetically modified organisms (“GMO”s, or “GM foods”) are defined as those in which “the genetic material (“DNA”) has been altered in such a way...

    Large White Oak split down center

    Oh yeah? I dun learnt to fire my saw. All I need now is this new tool they got out, and I'm all set. It's called a frik-shun, or a fricks-ion. That's what the fella kept sayin' after that big limb smashed his smoker and grill. I'm all like, what's a frik-shun, and why do I need some...

    Oak Wilt and tree trimming

    Mulch the root zone, remove competing turf in as much of the crz as you're willing, core aeration and refill w/ compost, mycorrhizal fungi treatment. None are difficult or expensive, and all will benefit the tree. Have not seen the base, so mulch and no turf may already be done. I'm in...

    Oak Wilt and tree trimming

    This post, in combination with the earlier pic, has me thinking your Oak may have more problems than you realize. Heavy mast production from a declining tree is often representative of a last ditch effort to carry on the species. IE, putting all the available energy into seed production, rather...

    Tree wound sealing Q & A

    The 2 x 4 had CODIT, when it was a live tree before it was milled. The living tree still has CODIT. All tissue present at the time of wounding is susceptible to decay. All new tissue grown after wounding will be protected by wall 4 of the CODIT model. The tree very much decays from the...

    HELP ... new sewer utilities may kill my 20 yr old Beech Tree

    If you're willing to foot the bill for it, you may be able to arrange for a section not to be trenched, and horizontal bore through that section under the beech roots.

    Light Rigging?

    So now you think you're a psychiatrist too? Get over yourself Carbie. Care to answer the ???'s I asked earlier? Is it that you don't know, or that you'd rather just spread #### like it's peanut butter? Maybe if you stopped making BS statements like "Once you learn to calculate dynamic...

    Climbing gear?

    That kit looks pretty good. The saddle, spikes, and flipline total $635. That kit shows as $679 for me, so the bag and extra biner, and tree climbers companion make up the difference. You'll still need a rope, and a couple biners. You can cut a piece off your rope for a split tail, or keep it...

    Climbing gear?

    Looks to me like a rotted out linesmans belt, another not so rotted linesmans belt, and a pair of rusty spikes. The spikes could be made usable w/ all new pads and straps, and a sandblasting and powder coat or paint job.

    Light Rigging?

    I'm disappointed and stuff.....I thought we were going to hear about how to calculate dynamic loads. Not that you heard that you should estimate the weight of the piece, multiply my a factor of somewhere between 3.5x and 5x. Seems kinda like guesswork. I'm also a bit curious about *Most of...

    Light Rigging?

    Perhaps you can explain it to us so we'll all know.....
