I finally had a dying old blue spruce (actually 2 of them of similar size) of around 40-50 feet cut down in my front and back yard that towered over my little 900 sf ranch house from 1971.
Now the front yard looks bare! Well, I am getting used to it, but still would like to plant more trees.
I would like another evergreen in the same place out front ... just not 50 feet high!
I have yet to remove the stumps as it's winter now here in Maine.
So how do I go about planting new trees and if I remove the stump can I plant the new tree right in the same place?
Can you plant in the spring or summer or do you wait till fall?
Do they have evergreen trees here in Maine that only get to 20 feet or so or should I just plant any type and worry about it when it gets too high and just cut it down again?
Most likely I'll be old or dead by then so I'm now really worried (I'm 45 now) lol!Read More
I loaded a 20 gallon container with rocks that I pulled from the soil in my yard, washed them, and noticed thousands of ants and these little white things that look like tiny grains of rice that most definitely were not there before. Anyone know what this is?Read More
