I remember reading years ago that maples rely on microbes in the soil, and if a seed is started in an area without those microbes, the tree will fail. Do you have any maples in your region that are growing successfully? If so, is there any way you could get a bucket of leaf mold/soil from beneath one or several in the hopes of getting the microbes that are needed? Were the trees you transplanted from actual soil, or nursery stock which may have been started from seed in sterile soil?Finally the other one to try that has conflicting sources that some say will handle my soil is Canyon maple/big tooth maple (Acer grandidentatum)

You may care because it's your planet! Seeds are cheap - seeds from fruit or nuts from the harvest this year - trees make rain and shade and most of the time, look after themselves!Pearl Sutton wrote:

They are at the rental. Hopefully I won't care what replaces them. :D

I was thinking after I posted it that I was sounding a little bossy, but if more of us cared more about the future than about something helping us immediately, or being "our responsibility", we might get at least our small corners of the planet safer and greener. Considering how much you've helped neighbors grow stuff this year, you've done a lot! I know you care!Damn good point. I DO care, but hopefully I won't be the one dealing with the rental at that point.

On tapping and syrup, Cornell did a study where they tapped a few different trees and none were as sugary as the sugar maple, but if i recall correctly, one was suggested for a marinade for it's fruity flavor and one just didn't taste good.
after looking, I found reference to birch syrup on Cornell's website, but the page seems broken. anyway, what i was going for was going to say: test away! If you have the equipment anyway, there is really no reason not to test trees for syrup, is there? I would take note of when you did it as well because some are probably similar to maple in that it's only good in certain conditions, but without testing you have no way of knowing when that is.
Heres a wiki link for birch, looks like it works best as a savory syrup/glaze : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_syrup

Does anyone near you make biochar? Seems to me they'be be great for that, although you might need to mix them with sawdust. Alas, I'm too far away to do it for you and at this point I only do it in the winter. I'm sure your new property would love some biochar.The trees are Thorin massive amounts again. The ground is covered. There are drifts.

Most seeds keep a really long time. Since your beds are covered with fabric, I was thinking you could just fold the fabric from the edges in, then download all the seeds into cardboard boxes until you want to use them for whatever nefarious thing you want to try.Pearl Sutton wrote: Oooh, they have a bad tendency to come down when I'm trying to get the garden planted!
