    Black Oak - dying?

    FYI - My understanding is that the tree likely has bacterial leaf scorch. Some searching indicates that treatment is injection of oxytetracyclene each spring. Are there some injection type spikes that I could use to inject at the base to do this? I see some plastic things online but it...

    Black Oak - dying?

    I've got a big black oak that is not looking well in my front yard. This tree is about 3-3.5 feet across, and sits about 10 feet from the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland). I was going to take some of the dead limbs out of it, but if its done for, I'd rather just take out the whole tree. Basically...

    Love woods pics. Photo tip - kneel down, put the woodpile offset to the side in the foreground, and give us the context of the woods in the background.

    ********WHAT AGE DID YOU FIRST START USING A CHAINSAW????

Lots of things to complain about fathers, but one thing I am super thankful for is that my dad taught me and trusted me to use serious tools...

    I won't disagree with you. If he's inclined, by all means, not a bad idea. One easy way may be to just unfasten each line and slide some old firehose over them..

    Log splitter hydraulic hose leak protection

    I used to worry about this a lot being the medic/EMT on vessels where we were far from support, used a lot of hydraulics (cranes, winches, etc.), and all the equipment was subjected to lots of corrosion (i.e., we popped lines regularly). I don't so much in normal situation, and especially with...

    Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

    Something is wrong. Either you typed it wrong, or you're doing it wrong. 40-50 cords?? In Virginia? I live in Maryland, in a leaky house, and I probably burn 4-5 cords a year. I could see being in the mountains of VA (quite familiar with Virginia BTW) and burning maybe double that. If your...
