Quote: Ive got about 15 starting out in meeker county. Any good
pointers you can send my way?
When I first planted the seedlings, I removed the turf around them with a flat spade, then laid down some mulch.
I made sure to watch the soil moisture so it didnt get too dry. I took some old 5 gal pails & drilled a small hole on the side towards the bottom. Then attached a hunk of 2x4 on the opposite side of the hole, because the pail would always lean back when I placed it on the mulch pile next to the trees. This way I could run the hose full blast to fill the buckets & the trees would get a slow stream of water.
I kind of babied them for the first couple of years & then just let nature take its course after that. Occasionally if it got really dry (like this year) I would water them.
I bought most of my trees from a place called Chief River Nursery out of WI. They are still around

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
