Sounds good Lance, that's a nice selection you've got there. Are you planting with a dibble? I'm probably going to place a 2nd order later in winter after the 1st one is planted.
What has everyone else done for weed control? I'm reforesting several acres and planted at random with no weed control other than some manual removal. Some of the trees are getting choked out by grass/weeds/briars while others have already popped out above the weeds. I wanted things as natural as possible and the trees not planted in rows, but am wondering if I should have used some type of vegetation control. Thinking about planting this years trees in rows and bushhogging between them until they are 4-5' tall. My preference would be biodegradeable tree mats but they would cost a lot more than the seedlings themselves.
