I used ChipDrop once, but my experience wasn't so good. The batch was very wet, and lots of mold in it. I figured it was just already starting to break down and compost, so I went ahead and used it. But my pooch was then scratching like crazy for 6 months. Not exactly sure it was because of the mulch, but that was my guess. Not sure if they were diseased plants, or some other reason. But I just stick to paying for mulch from the local nursery now - I have more confidence that there's no problem with it. I probably only have about 3,000sqft that I have mulched. So it's worth it to me to pay a little to keep from having potential diseased mulch where I'm wanting to grow food at times. I'm sure ChipDrop can be a good option. I just didn't have a good first experience, so it wasn't worth a repeat for me. I also had tipped $20, but the company then reported back to ChipDrop that things changed and they didn't deliver, so I wasn't charged the $20. So something about that seemed a little shady as well. Saved me $20, but at what cost if the mulch was diseased in some way? Yet, they reported back to ChipDrop that they never delivered it. And I wasn't home at the time to actually see the delivery. My drop also seemed like it was heavy on the leaves, light on the chips - maybe 75:25 ratio of leaves to chipped branches. Might have made more sense to do it after winter, and before trees have started to leaf out again to get a higher %age of chips, rather than so many leaves.

I realize your peppers hadn't gone soft, but what do you think would cause that?
@chadtruitt1979 9 ай бұрын
Usually it happens as a side effect of heating them or having a much higher liquid to pepper ratio. To battle the heating issue I usually add some “pickle crisp” when canning them. I have a jar that was packed with the same brine and canned at the same time as these and they turned out soft. The only difference between the soft ones and these were the soft ones weren’t a completely full jar of peppers. In short, adding pickle crisp and having full jars is the key to success!

I don’t see why the weed cover for bulb plants wouldn’t work the same. You could lay the covering down, cut holes in it and plant. After planting you could even add a thin layer of wood mulch or something to make the ground look more natural. We didn’t do that because we will be removing the covering when we harvest.

Neither of these worked for me. My next attempt will be Triclopyr, triethylamine salt, which is found in brush killer, mixed ¼ cup with a gallon of diesel fuel. I'm done playing! I'm in the city. The house across the street had 1 black walnut. The lady died and her son owns the house but doesn't live there. He hires a landscape company to mow the lawn 2x each summer. There are now, easily, 30 grown black walnut trees. The squirrels plant them along the fence line and in gardens.... you can't run them over with the lawn mower. I get easily 30 per summer with the hedge trimmers. If I miss one it is 4"-6" in diameter by the following labor day. I fall 5 of those each year. IF I SELL my house it WILL be because elimination of these trees has turned Into a full time job!
@chadtruitt1979 11 ай бұрын
I understand your frustration. I tried the epsom salt and sadly, it didn’t work. The option that did work was placing an open bottom burn barrel over the stump and having a good fire going on it. This will kill the stump. Probably not able to go that route in the city or near other structures. I have 2 that were right next to my house that I couldn’t burn out so I did treat them with Tordon RTU, a synthetic harsh herbicide and that seems to do the trick. I figured it was ok to use near the house and away from the gardens. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Hope you get it under control.
@Safe.Ride.Sue1 11 ай бұрын
Heat rises. I've tried burning out the stumps before. With a hammer drill, using a 24" long 1" bit. Driving several holes in the center and holes on the diagonal to meet the vertical & filling the holes with kerosene and lighting it (no, it didn't explode) it did not burn out the stump.
@lisabibleheimer2355 10 ай бұрын
I had a neighbor come over with an excavator (that he borrowed) to dig the black walnut stumps out of my garden beds right by my house. Many of the stumps were removed that way instead of me trying to dig them out by hand which would only throw my shoulder out from the effort. They were ALL throughout the beds. Biggest one is about 4 inches in diameter but even the smaller guys had a root that was easily 3ft deep and just impossible to remove completely. There were areas that the machine couldn't reach and I still have about a half dozen to deal with. Since they are so close to the house and we are in a draught and fire seems irresponsible, I am considering the Tordon route and I am really really against the use of such. The black walnut is a formidable enemy to any gardener, that is for damn sure!

@@lisabibleheimer2355 Black walnut root balls are really big and deep. I would never suggest anyone try and dig them out with a shovel. Having stumps near a house and in drought makes burning hard. I have 3 that are near my house that I didn’t burn. I used the Tordon and am not sure how far away from the stumps are effected. Tordon is some pretty bad stuff but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I am only growing grass near the stumps. Not sure how far away from the stumps you can still grow stuff. My suggestion would be to maybe plant it and see what happens. Wish I could be more help. The stumps that are not near the house that I burned are completely dead now. I would still suggest that route if it ever is an option in the future.

That really depends on lumber prices. I also had a handful of items on hand or up cycled. I would estimate one would spend $1100 - $1200 on this kit. Again, that really depends on lumber prices. The plywood was probably the most expensive part. Use a thick plywood for the floor and a pressure treated plywood for the roof. In my area the pressure treated plywood was almost $50 a sheet when I purchased. The same sheets are now $35 each.
