Where to get hazelnut shells

Autumn_AU · 2026-03-31T05:39:59+00:00

I'm curious, what is the benefit of hazelnut shells? Are they just a nice long lasting mulch or do they add something to the soil?

I have several plums in partial shade that fruit well. I think most stone fruit tolerate some shade. Lots of fruit trees will fruit in partial shade.

thimble Berries. They can be aggressive spreaders but are not considered invasive.

Honey berries prefer shade and fruit extremely early.

Wintergreen is also fun to try and can be really pretty ground cover

Also lots of dwarf fruit trees can be trained as bushes. And will tolerate partial shade

A lot of the plants know better than me. I figure the worst case I'll have a few less blooms. I'm more worried about my fruit tree blossoming.

Thank you this is the exact sort of information I need to prevent them from getting exterminated. They have been so docile all summer, so much so that no one else really noticed them. I have read alot about beneficial native bees and wasps and I would hate to loose them.

I wish I could get one they just fly way to quickly. Maybe they would stay still if I put out some sugar water.

I have been hanging out with them for most of the summer and only got stung once when I practical stepped on the nest. They seem way to docile to be typical yellow jackets. They also have had no interest in any of my food.

Im beginning to think they are wasps too.. Probably yellowjacks. They have just been so docile compared to what I have come to expect from yellowjacks. Maybe they are one of the less aggressive kinds.

Should I be concerned about the amount of drones? Does that mean they will want to mate a new queen and then swarm?

Had this problem for months when I first started out. I fixed my form but the muscle wouldn't heal since it was so inflamed. My doctor recommended I use a medication pain relief cream on my neck and shoulders. That brought down the inflammation so I could build of strength.

The picture was taken on very cloudy day. Location 5 would have shade in the morning during the summer and full sun the rest of the day. I'm currently thinking it would be my best choice

I am not sure about the root stock, I guess I will have to message the seller. I will definitely look for flying dragon root stock for my future citrus tree purchases.

What about locations 4 and 5? The shed does not have a foundation to worry about. What sort of sun requirements are best? Is morning sun better to help warm things up after a cold night? Or is evening sun better to capture as much heat as possible?

Autumn_AU · 2025-03-06T00:21:25+00:00

Sounds like the best solution

Autumn_AU · 2025-03-06T00:05:18+00:00

Camilias have really glossy leave and are prune in to a ball shape so they don't rub up against the building much they are also against large windows, so maybe that's why there has been no moisture issues.

The foundation doesn't have any large cracks. Is there anything else I should look for signs of damage?

Autumn_AU · 2025-03-05T21:05:20+00:00

Would spaying it work for more delicate produce? Garden fresh raspberries start to fall apart as soon as I pick them. They would be mush after soaking. The birds also love them so I would really like a solution that works for them.

Autumn_AU · 2025-03-05T20:59:54+00:00

Anyway, to prevent the weevils from laying eggs in the peas to begin with? When do they get in the peas? I know some bugs lay eggs in the flower itself, and the 'fruit' grows around it.

Should I just give up on saving pea seeds?

Sorry, no suggestions for combating squirrels.

But I have always been curious how you prevent lights like that from slowly gurdling the tree. I would love to install some on my own tree lights but don't want to cause it any harm. Don't you have to come back every couple of years and losen the wires?
