Yep, out here on my Oregon tree farm I have been doing a lot of that for a lot of trees. You put one bush or shrub up against a tree, and the tree will end up bigger and produce more than a bush or shrub most every time. Trouble is, they gang up on the trees, and crowd them out. Viny maple are particularly bad, as is the invasive import scotch broom. For more than 25 years I have been using my chainsaw against them to good effect. This year I bought a ford 8n tractor, and I'm looking to buy a 4' brushog. Gonna get me a bunch of them bushes and shrubs, as well as some nasty blackberries, and help some trees. Time to do some spring cleaning. Get those shrubs and bushes out of the way and free more trees. Keep the bushes and shrubs in their place and eat your broccoli. I put in some nice starts last week. Bushes do not like broccoli. I keep hearing how healthy it is. Free a tree from the bushes and watch it grow. Free a lot of trees and create a forest with fewer bushes. Off to work

not to mention paper towels that are too big, actually waste paper
this should be outlawed...

Amazing…

As a tree farmer, I'm in favor of paper that comes from trees- it is plastic that bothers me, as it comes from oil, a non renewable resource. My tree farm was denuded of trees by the first white settlers in order to run sheep. I replanted it with 20,000 mostly douglas fir trees some 30 years ago and now I have a forest again. I have replanted other properties back to trees because the trees have more economic value than sheep. I would much prefer seeing a forest than a pasture. Keep the profit in tree farming and we will have more trees.

Dude… that’s so not cool. I hate it when that happens. Did you do a touch test? Sometimes it feels like a shart but it actually is just hot/wet air.

Holy shit, I just did a yahoo image search for shart, and this is what they gave me.



I think I have to see this movie now.

I was thinking today what a non-beneficial life I'm living, feeling really badly useless.. if I was a tree farmer though, I'm sure it was different because I'm fed up of just producing bags of garbages.
I think every body feels the same sometimes, except for some one who do thing like this.
I wish I could feel how you may be feel.

I am so there.
