Sounds like spam or a scam to me and I hope everyone ignores your post..

Those minnows are from a pet store to be used to feed bigger fish, not a bait shop.

It wasn't done for selective breeding. It was done because the queen's offspring were meaner than all get out, and I don't like dealing with hot hives.

​@@TheOhioCountryboy Ah, I see. Still wouldn't want those drones out and about, though! Hahahaha.

@@HoneybeeResearchProject The queen was from good stock, so her drones were fine. But she mated with some nasty drones somewhere else, and her offspring was mean.

@@TheOhioCountryboy Oh. I see. :( Sorry to hear that.

No, pecans are not graft compatible with black walnuts.

I believe they are a carbon steel.

When rust is producing spores, I try to spray once per week.

Big Rainbow. The Old German Bi-Colored is a different variety.

What are you calling a wing nut? The only wing nut I know is made of metal.

You're welcome!

You will be eating dead bug eggs, rather than dead bugs. =)

Thank you! 😊

Just water once a week that is all

@cliffordengland6264 Thank you Cliff well appreciated!

You're welcome.

Glad you enjoyed it.

You're welcome.

If it were me, I would just plant at the final spacing and not thin, probably 25-30 feet apart. They grow incredibly fast.

You could, but when you split the rootstock, the split wants to spring back closed, so it grips the scion tighter, making it easier for it to grow together. A perfectly matched cut to make together would be a loose fit, increasing chances of misalignment while you are taping it up or if the wind blows it.

Good thought. Thanks! @@TheOhioCountryboy

Yeah, I have never learned how to walk around without tripping over everything on the floor when I am looking through the camera. The museum is very rarely open to the public, so beggars can't be choosers.

If you don't, a windstorm might make you cry. The stems may be strong, but the graft union is weak.

This was recorded during his time at Harvard, sometime between '93 and '98.

I've never dug there myself. Typical Ohio farm fields. The glaciers wiped them flat. It's not the rich black soils of northwest Ohio or even Richland county.

Google Harveast nut cracker (not harvest) and you can find them on WalMart for $65 and eBay for $85-$90.

Yes, the wind sucked. But the Gwynne planting is an hour and a half from home, and I knew I was running out of days to go there before the weather turned miserable. I made 20 or 25 videos. I just have to get them all edited and uploaded.

Joe Hietter is very knowledgeable. If you go to the Ohio Nut Growers website, www.onga.org and click on the Board of Directors, it has email contact info for Joe.

At least two methods can be used: one is hot callus pipe method, second is epicotyl grafting. First one requires you to have rootstock and scion wood, and you can graft during the winter. With second one you graft directly to sprouted seed with small caliber scion wood. Both require you to sustain 27 Celsius warmth to the graft site. Both you can totally do at home, especially if you have a cool garage. I suggest you do a google scholar search for both - I learned from the studies the methods. And with "hot callus pipe" search you will find DIY-pictures and plans for it. I use epicotyl grafting, since that does not require me to have any rootstock, just seeds.

The problem with hawks is that they prefer chickens, and many nut growers raise chickens too. The chickens are great at larval insect pest control. Given a choice, I would prefer to have chickens and squirrels around any day of the week over hawks. I'm allowed to nuisance trap the squirrels.

@@TheOhioCountryboy It depends on the hawk breed. I have chicken as well. My game chickens and meat chicken get free range. Red tail hawks, Northern Harriers, Cooper Hawks and smaller ones travel through the chicken yard often picking off the rats. I have only once had a coopers hawk take a half grown chicken in nearly 30 years. I also have race pigeons. Coopers hawks are a problem with them. The red tails keep the coopers away and also kill rodents. Red Tails are always welcome at my place. Many folks just think a hawk is a hawk but they aren't all bad.

@@billastell3753 In my experience hawks are merciless on half grown chickens, although they will occasionally take full grown chickens.

@@TheOhioCountryboy Bby making such a broad statement it sounds like you aren't aware of the different hawk species and their specific habits and prey. They aren't all the same.

@@billastell3753 I am aware of the different hawk species in my area. I have seen everything from little Coopers hawks to red-tailed hawks killing chickens.

You're welcome.
