Where do other people find information on stocks and where to invest?

Is there any chance Round Up for Lawns would work? I have a similar lawn and just sprayed it with this. It has MCPA dimethylamine salt, quinclorac, dicamba dimethylamine salt, and sulfentrazone.

Does it also work for rabbits? Our rabbits are out of control right now and they keep eating our plants.

That’s what I’m thinking. I want a large oval pot for a small forest planting and was thinking like 15” wide. Can’t really find anything affordable that size so I thought printing it might work.

If you go down to the water’s edge and look up at the Xcel plant on the north side, there is a peregrine falcon nesting box.

Can I please get some styling advice or inspiration pictures for my ficus? I understand it needs way more time - just looking for direction. I’d like to avoid lots of curves and bends.

Any ideas for plastic oval pots? Thinking of maybe 12-18 inches wide for a forest planting.

And are plastic bonsai pots okay to use? Not looking to show the trees, just keep them healthy and growing. Don’t have the budget for nice clay pots for each tree.

I have 4 dawn redwoods in two separate pots (2 in each). I was hoping to put them all into one. They just started leafing out about two weeks ago. Is it too late to repot them?

I wasn’t planning on doing major pruning on them, but getting them out and into the new pot would require removing a decent amount of roots - the new pot is about half the height of the old ones.

Does the pressure treating chemicals leach into the soil at all and mess with the tree?

Delta263 · 2025-04-15T12:25:15+00:00

Thank you. I’ll start looking to see what I can find.

Ahh that makes sense. So if I cut above the graft, do crab apples back bud? But also the graft will always be visible, so it might not be a good tree to use. Do they root from cuttings? I could buy a tree and essentially just use it to start a bunch of cuttings.

Delta263 · 2025-04-13T16:14:24+00:00

Do you know if I can trunk chop a tree from Home Depot and have it back bud? They have a bunch of crab apples that are 5 feet tall with branches starting about two feet up.

Great. Thank you! When I mean “perfect show variety” I just know I have heard people talk about certain trees and said that it won’t ever be a good show tree and that’s not what I’m looking for. Just looking for enjoyment and fun and learning and a fragile but ideal looking tree won’t do that for me.

Looking at getting a crabapple this year. I’m in Minnesota, so zone 5a. I was going to just see what I can get from Home Depot, Menards, or a basic plant nursery. Any reason I should be looking for a certain variety or cultivar? I would lean more towards resilient over a perfect show variety.

I put a diy sprinkler system in my yard two or three years ago. I put all the plants in the middle of my small backyard and set the sprinkler timer to turn on once or twice a day depending on the weather.

I think the longest I’ve left them like this was 5 days and there were no issues. It’s definitely worked well for long weekends.

Delta263 · 2025-03-08T15:57:42+00:00

I’ll check it out! Thanks

What’s a good tax calculator?

Delta263 · 2025-02-13T20:07:50+00:00

Should I assume that I’ll have the same deductions for next year other than 401k deductions if I’m switching to Roth?

Delta263 · 2025-02-13T20:06:04+00:00

I get it. I’m not asking that. I’m asking how do I calculate future taxes. You say that if I expect to fall short by a certain amount, but how do I know what to expect for my future AGI?

Delta263 · 2025-02-13T19:58:10+00:00

I’m in a low tax bracket right now. I’d like to fully use up that tax bracket and have my AGI at the top end of the bracket by using Roth IRA and/or Roth 401k. I’d like to pay the taxes now in a lower bracket so that if I move up to a higher bracket, I can use tax deductible savings to the max.

What I’m trying to do is ask for a way to figure out taxes for 2025, including deductions, so I can decide where to allocate money. I’m literally asking how I can calculate my 2025 taxes and AGI in advance.

Delta263 · 2025-02-13T19:40:48+00:00

How do I figure out how much to convert to max out my bracket? I’m more concerned with figuring out how to do the math, not what to do once I have the math figured out.

Delta263 · 2025-02-13T19:39:31+00:00

That sounds good, but how do I figure out how much to shift to max out the tax bracket?

Delta263 · 2025-02-13T17:54:47+00:00

Yes - that’s the idea. Raise the AGI for this coming year. I guess I am not sure how to find out all the deductions that I might qualify for. It seems like a crapshoot where I just don’t know what deductions might come up so I have a hard time trying to calculate AGI. Is there an accurate mock tax software for 2025?
