re: Is there anything to plant that would be good draw for deer, turkey, and dove?

Posted by luvdoc on 4/15/24 at 4:57 pm

Consider planting large an area as possible with Native plums. American Plum is the Yankee version, and Chickasaw Plum is the Dixie version, with quite a bit of overlap. They put out Runners and Thicket when happy. Great cover. The Plums are sweet to tart, but generally small unless you buy a named...

I hear you brother. If you have access to a well chlorinated swimming pool, go swimming. Otherwise, add one cup of bleach to a hot soapy bath and soak. ( stand up and shower well after to make certain you and the bath area are bleach free. Your towels and your marriage will thank you ) It...

Posted by luvdoc on 4/5/24 at 1:16 pm

If you have woods nearby, this is a battle you can not win. the best you can hope for is to minimize snakes by controlling what attracts them, mainly rodents which can be controlled with poisons and traps. They are also controlled with Kingsnecks and rat snakes, both of which you should educ...

re: Good pair of waterproof hiking shoes?

Posted by luvdoc on 4/1/24 at 2:42 pm

I envy you! Loads of great day hikes. Honestly, not much need for water proofing, as I do not recall a single unavoidable water Hazard on my many trips there. I highly recommend Merrell hiking shoes or boots, with or without the water proofing. Very light and comfortable. Likely to ...

I was once told that Magnolia is a giant shrub. Letting it grow to the ground, "mounding" hides what is an awful mess behind a thick green wall. If you don't have the room for that, be prepared for a mix of mess and work, follow very soon thereafter by more mess, in perpetuity. But they ...
