[MassChestnutOrchards] Materials for SK/MG planting

[Rufin Van Bossuyt]

I have 65 serviceable Blue-X tubes that I salvaged from an orchard. They are 11 inches by two and a half inches in diameter.
I also have two rolls of Hardware cloth, 36 inches tall, and I can probably get more if needed.
I also have quite a few pollination bags.

        I have a box filled with bluex tubes that I no longer need.

          Yvonne,
                     How many nuts are you planting?
          see my responses below

          Orchard managers - Do you have any extra planting materials to help out Yvonne??

          Hi Charlotte & Jamie,

          The tentative planting date for the MG/SK orchard is the weekend of 4/16 -
          4/17.

          They still need various supplies - they want to start with Bluex, then
          eventually move to hardware cloth but not for now.

          So...

          * Bluex  (Charlotte ordered already?)  If Charlotte doesn't have any we may be enough leftovers to do the job.Orchard managers??

          * bamboo poles (I can procure, but where is best source?)Forestry Suppliers(601-354-3565) sells them in pack of 500, so I'm thinking we should have some extras. If not they are stock # 17010 

          * How much of each component of planting mix should we get? I betting we have extra bags of planting mix around. If not, we have been using "Metro Bedding Plant II mix PN# 65-4300 from Griffin Greenhouse Supply( in Tewksbury Ma. Griffin is near where I work, I can pick some up if need be. 

          * I have a bulb planter and I have one if you need it

          * Tall "milk carton" - like planting tubes for backup nuts - where do we get
          these? I have these. How many nuts are you going to pot up?

          * they have white pines nearby for mycorrhiza - laden soil

          * they could use more American nuts Charlotte??

          * Other items?

          I can order what you need and ship it to you and meet you somewhere to hand of the stuff I have. 

          As you know, I am at the National Board meeting that weekend so I won't be able to help plant.


          let me know

          -Jamie
