We planted a willow screening here in WI and watered every 2 days through the drought last year. We got about 70% success on 500 shrubs. The survivors are looking good this year though!

In SE,WI, red osier dogwood grows great, however the deer just attack it. I now cage all my shrubs. Tube all deciduous trees, the bucks are merciless.

They are awesome...but have to get caged for sure!

Hey Jeff, could I get your thoughts on if I should put my mineral mix out for this month. I put it out monthly since the season ended but curious if I should continue it for July and August. And thoughts?

@Ryana680 25 күн бұрын

Is there a specific drag you recommend to cover seed? Noticed on your bag you can cover some seed

Currently growing some ROD from cuttings in pots and hopeful they are ready to go in the ground by mid August. Bunch of fencing fron previous owners will be put to use!

That's perfect Alex! Especially right before Fall that fencing is 100% necessary... Sounds like you are getting a LOT done this year...I bet very rewarding!!

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 the classic 3 years of work in one year Jeff! It's an experience being that I live over 3hrs away and have a regular job but have to show that it can be done!

Great points Jeff. It wasn't until I went from 300 trees/yr to 30 and gaged them that I was getting a return for my efforts. Appreciate your channel very much.

Jeff how far away should I put corn from each other and when should I start

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 25 күн бұрын

Hi Dylan! It's almost too late to plant corn. 26"-30" spacing for rows and seeds should be roughly 8-12" apart. We've planted as late as July 5th with great rain and an 85 day corn variety.

@dylanthrall5657 25 күн бұрын

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 how about corn piles

@ndoering1 25 күн бұрын

If I may add, I believe choosing a cultivar that will grow tall enough that they can't reach the top is necessary for red osier. Otherwise they will just stand there and eat it to death. You would never be able to remove the fence on short varieties in my area.

@Georgebd2 25 күн бұрын

Do you necessarily have to protect seedling oaks from deer? Or do they avoid it for more preferable browse?

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 25 күн бұрын

That greatly depends on the location and how much other browse is available. For example in some areas white pines aren't touched...in other areas you have to cage them. Oaks are the same way. And if they are near a food plot then they have to be protected just about anywhere.
