We also need about 260 clothespins to close the tops of the bluexes. Rudi has colored tape to mark nut types on bamboo poles.<BR>

SK/MG are doing 2 full lines, plus hopefully some Chinese & Americans. I have Chinese for them. (Some controls went in last year.)<BR>
<BR>
So in orchard:<BR>
<BR>
<B>Supplies for 260 nuts direct planted </B>(a few less but this is to be safe)<BR>
<BR>
Supplies for “Backup” plantings in “milk cartons” - about 100 – plus about 50 for Westerly (tentative, we might direct-plant but I’d like to have cartons in case we go that route)<BR>
<BR>
<B>-> 150 milk cartons<BR>
</B><BR>
Do we use the same planting mix in “milk cartons”?<BR>
<BR>

Hi Charlotte & Jamie,<BR>
<BR>
The tentative planting date for the MG/SK orchard is the weekend of 4/16 -<BR>
4/17.<BR>
<BR>
They still need various supplies - they want to start with Bluex, then<BR>
eventually move to hardware cloth but not for now.<BR>
<BR>
So...<BR>
<BR>
* Bluex (Charlotte ordered already?) <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">If Charlotte doesn't have any we may be enough leftovers to do the job.Orchard managers??<BR>
</FONT><BR>
* bamboo poles (I can procure, but where is best source?)<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">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 <BR>
</FONT><BR>
* How much of each component of planting mix should we get? <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">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. <BR>
</FONT><BR>
* I have a bulb planter <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">and I have one if you need it<BR>
</FONT><BR>
* Tall "milk carton" - like planting tubes for backup nuts - where do we get<BR>
these? <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">I have these. How many nuts are you going to pot up?<BR>
</FONT><BR>
* they have white pines nearby for mycorrhiza - laden soil<BR>
<BR>
* they could use more American nuts <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Charlotte??<BR>
</FONT><BR>
* Other items?<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">I can order what you need and ship it to you and meet you somewhere to hand of the stuff I have. <BR>
</FONT></SPAN></FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'> <BR>
