Simple tree watering method

[Chapman]

Drill a hole around 1/4 inch in a 5 gallon bucket and let it water a young tree slowly. We are in an D3 Extreme drought here, last week was D4 Exceptional drought here in SW Louisiana.

Had a buddy that HAD a bunch of bradford pears around his large back yard.
He did the same thing. Think he used 1/8" though.

All for naught, as they eventually all got taken out by wind.

Probably best that the Bradford Pears are gone. Turns out they have a lot of problems. Best to plant something that will produce a better tree.

If the bradford pears were older trees that's not unusual. I have noticed a pattern in those things. When they get to be like maybe 20 years old they start to fall apart without the help of wind.

As it turns out those things now are considered invasive.

Good deal

Works good on almost everything.

If you growing BIG pumpkins two containers every third filling 1 pound of miracle grow in each. Your leaves should be 24-30 inches tall and the stems will have spikes that can cut you.
