re: Tree treatment after trimming

Your limit is unlikely to be related to horsepower.
Transmission transmission transmission
All the cheap consumer grade tractors have really crappy transmissions
If you can find a used deere x500 series, you will be happy. Transmission is rated for ground engagement. It also comes with a differential lock foot pedal on the left. Pressing it locks the rear drive wheels together so they spin at the exact same speed to prevent getting stuck in mud or slippery turf or hills.
The x300 series all have the lower spec transmission/transaxle
The x700 series is the Cadillac
After 2012, deere remodeled/ renamed/repowered their high end lawn tractors, generally for the worst.
Some of the models are four-wheel drive, or diesel
If you can find a pre 2012 x500 or x700 series that was decently well maintained, or even the x400 series which is a bit older, it will make you happy
Machine finder dot com: LINK
Tractor finder is another good site
I have a 2004 x500 that is a mule. I got lucky and found it on Craigslist in br around 2008 at a great price
If it sold at a big box store, you don't want it

Ditto
But most trees can be trimmed in a way that shapes them to your preference. All pairs refuse to follow the usual rules and just Branch like mad everywhere. It's hard to make a pretty pair

Works. Some at least. It will blow off CO2, raising ph, will need to add acid far more frequently
My personal experience is limited but also from the Virginia mountains. That looks like one of the bigger types that does not carry lyme. He looks whole. It's the itty bitty deer ticks you have to worry about
Also, my understanding is they have to be embedded for over 24 hours to transmit the disease
And a single dose of doxycycline within 3 days is 100% effective at preventing lime

You could also try layering
Fill a pot with soil, if the pot is plastic snip a pair of notches in the top on opposite sides, and lay the Vine from notch to notch across the soil, making sure to include a leaf node, cover with more soil, put a brick on top. Keep it from drying out

Stripping/ staining/ protecting wooden pews on covered front porch
Posted by luvdoc on 6/29/26 at 2:16 pm
A local Parish is remodeling, and we will be picking up a pair of pews for our covered front porch
any recommendations for preferred products to strip, stain, and coat for long-lasting protection from sun and humidity?

Well said, and I would put it in other way:
Her vote was based on whether she regarded the consequences of the law to be "good "or "bad ", which is not in the purview of the judicial branch.
Her job is strictly to determine whether the action is legal /constitutional
if she wants to change the law to do "good ", she should run for Congress

For such a beautiful woman, and likely due to the era of the show, her costume did little to flatter her pelvic figure
I had an enormous fig tree I planted as a cutting and shaped over 15 years, ultimately with 45-50 varieties grafted onto it that got ambrosia beetle borers and outright died
My experience has been that, particularly after a late freeze that kills off new spring growth, the damaged plants put off a scent of decay/alcohol that is ambrosia beetle Chanel number 5

The VT proximity (integrated radar) fuse on our anti-aircraft shells also played a big role
many thanks to the guy here who linked the youtube description of that device in months past.

If each step takes you halfway to the wall, then with an infinite number of steps, your total distance traveled, x, is:
x = (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + . . .)
And
2x = 1 + (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + . . .)
Then
2x = 1 + (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16. . .)
- x = - (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16. . .)

re: Let’s talk about .9 repeating
Posted by luvdoc on 6/6/26 at 1:59 pm to BranchDawg
quote:
It doesn’t matter how many repeating 9’s you keep tacking on, there’s also always a zero at the end, because the number of potential digits is infinite, which means .99 repeating can never equal 1.
There's not a zero at the end if the 9s go on for Infinity
The Taylor series in Kama's post is another great introduction to the true concept of mathematical Infinity
If you stand one foot from a wall and every second take a step halfway toward the wall, how long does it take to reach the wall?
The brain teaser answer is "never", because you are always "only getting halfway there".
But if you truly take an infinite number of steps, it can be proven that the sum of your steps equals the original distance to the wall
I've never paid to have a garbanzo on my face before
