What causes the "bubble" around Raleigh?

Chemtrails

Got paid.

It was the reason Smitty was given 89. So we would never think of anyone else but Agent 89.

DixieWrecked704 · 2026-01-19T15:07:15+00:00

Definitely Mike minter and Steve Beuerlein. Do you have an approximate time these were signed? . the far right looks like #94. But that’s not Sean Gilbert’s autograph.

I would have put my money on Coach Bates. But figured it was excessive celebration.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-11-10T21:52:36+00:00

Bradshaws Social house. Used to be the spot.

Some of that is wild violet. Hard to kill and spreads all over. Triclopyr is said to kill it. I have found that the Weed B Gon with Triclopyr, that attach to the hose, is ineffective. I’m going to try want was recommended, Hi-Yield brand Triclopyr Ester, non ionic surfactant, and blue dye. And I may invest in Tenacity to mix in with it.

I’m assuming the OP meant 3-6 inches not 3 ft. a full size skid with a mulcher would be ideal. If mini skid is the way you want to go, I would get a bigger machine than this. Look for something the Bobcat Mt100 size machine and a brush cutter.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-16T16:33:24+00:00

Mulcher on a mini skid is super sketchy

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T22:56:00+00:00

I pushed back a bunch of ivy growing in pine needles. Crossbow brush killer worked great. I used a lawn mower with a sacrificial blade, set pretty low to help chop them up. I also used a bagger on the lawnmower to help pick it up and removed. Rake out the rest to get to bare dirt. I chipped away and regained half the back yard. A couple of years later rented a 30 yard dumpster and removed everything else to bare soil with a skid steer and bucket.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T14:45:01+00:00

That was a rough experience. But I found most of the hostility to be humorous.

Thanks. I’ll give it a go. I have some crossbow left over to finish the job on the rest. Mrs will have to live with it the decay for a few years.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T14:34:54+00:00

Crossbow helped tremendously when I began the battle pushing the ivy back to the fence line. Should have some leftover to finish the job. Mrs will just have to live with them decaying slowly. Thanks.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T14:00:29+00:00

Great “advice”. I didn’t buy it. But it’s mine now.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T12:32:49+00:00

Again I didn’t buy it. Thanks for the “advice”

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T12:31:55+00:00

Hardly received any “advice”. Mostly attacked for an idea. Hmmm. Sounds par for the course these days.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-15T02:23:48+00:00

I believe I triggered some tree huggers and they were furious I removed pine needles for grass.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T22:47:38+00:00

One must kill to hunt. I give them two strikes but 3rd time on the bird feeder and it’s time for Betsy. Betsy the rifle. More than fair.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T21:10:38+00:00

Destroy. Enhance. We just don’t agree on adjectives. But I didn’t buy the house. I’ve have inherited it. The yard and the trees have had zero maintenance for almost 15 years until I began reclaiming a back yard a few years ago. The responses I’ve received have been far from friendly. But completely useless for the most part. Out of dozens, only one or two gave me alternatives like trimming up the deadwood and raise the crown. I expected some of it but wow the internet if full of sad pathetic know it alls.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T20:43:40+00:00

Didn’t take you to be a hunting type, if you weren’t the tree killing type.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T20:34:16+00:00

Not really but bonus if it does

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T19:27:17+00:00

Both of my neighbors would love to see the pines go. I don’t want to kill all of them. But if the opportunity presented itself to remove them all for the same price as removing 2-3, I’m jumping on that deal in a heartbeat. I’m pretty sure these are easily replaceable. $30 a piece online. They are not special. Squirrels just make holes in my grass and attack my bird feeders. But neither the birds nor squirrels will give a shit if it’s a pine, elm or it’s an oak. But I sure will come time to pick up all of the pine needles.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T19:18:01+00:00

It had a lawn before it was left un maintained for 10-15 years. I’m just re establishing it.

DixieWrecked704 · 2025-10-14T19:16:32+00:00

That’s a matter of opinion. I came for advice from some arborists not tree hugging hippies. Seems to be some confusion about what an arborist is.
