Fire will not terminate privet!!! You may kill the tops but it WILL resprout. Now if you burn it every year, you may kill some as frequent fires will deplete the food reserves in the roots. The best way to kill privet is with roundup or other herbicides. If you have a tractor and grapple, they are pretty easy to uproot.

Randy California of the band Spirit drowned while saving his son in a rip current. The son lived.
I played trombone in 6th and 7th grades but had to quit when I got braces on my teeth. I was never any good though.
Unloading boxcars of fertilizer for $1.25/hour; putting the bags on pallets.

As much as I love Paul, he’s lost it; voice is terrible.
I saw them fronting for the Allman Brothers in the early 70’s. Awesome band

I saw them in Dothan,AL at the Farm Center in about 71-3. I kept thinking how do three people make so much music; one of my favorite concerts.

Posts for gate

I’m about to put up a new gate to my property to replace one that loggers messed up. I’ll be using 6x6 treated posts. My question is should I coat the below ground portion with anything? To bad they did away with cca treatments.

I’ve had a Kubota MX 5400 for 3 years annd could not be happier. Whatever you get, make sure it has a loader and 4wheel drive.

Last Stand is an amazing book; those sailors on the destroyers were so very brave to take on Japanese cruisers and battleships.

I got 7 lump sum bids. The high bidder left nearly $30,000 on the table; I’m not complaining though.

Two years ago I got $14/ton for pine pulpwood and $28/ton for small chip-n-saw in a second thinning. Earlier this year I got $4300/acre for a 40 year old pine plantation clearcut. This is in SE Alabama. So prices are decent here; but still not as good as pre-2008. The property has been managed by a professional forester; me.
