Stump Grinding Two Maples Before & After

Mushroom Logs

[psstt.. @threadednovelist here is the post I was talking about making!]

So the 1.6 Update has kinda put a wrench in my "The Mushroom Cave is better than the Fruit Bat Cave" argument since my biggest contender for picking the Mushroom Cave was that Fruit Trees and the Greenhouse make the cave obsolete but... well... the mushroom logs are essentially that same arguement but in reverse.

I will be covering the following in this post:

What are mushroom logs?

How do we get mushroom logs

I will be starting a completely new save* to test this, so I will be starting from scratch. I am also taking an approach of grinding away for specifically the mushroom logs, so the time in which you get yours will more than likely be different than mine, as well the number of everything you are able to get within a year, but that's totally fine and not something to be incredibly worried about as this is a run tailored for these and not just your normal, casual, play style.

I will be relaying my very basic progress through text here, but I will also be recording and uploading a video on this that will be linked at the end of this post so if you'd like to watch and see everything that I do you will be able to!

*For transparency this save will have two mods applied to it: UI Info Suite 2 and Experience Bars.

What are Mushroom Logs?

Mushroom logs are an item that was added to the game in the 1.6 update. Mushroom Logs produce every four days normally, however if you have a rainy day within that period the amount of time is reduced.

The game searches for the number of trees in a 7x7 area around the mushroom logs. You are able to get five of the six mushroom types from the logs [Chanterelle, Common Mushroom, Morel, Red Mushroom and Purple Mushroom] and you are able to get 1-5 mushrooms from each log depending on the amount of wild (non-fruit) trees around them.

There is a list of possible mushrooms that the game creates based on the trees within the 7x7 area around the mushroom log, and what is produced is chosen randomly off of that list. The mushrooms that are normally added to the list are Common Mushrooms (81% chance), Red Mushrooms (14% chance), and Purple Mushrooms (5%) chance. This makes it impossible for you to make a mushroom log produce a certain type of mushroom as every tree adds these to the list.

Oak Trees add the chance for Morel Mushrooms to be produced. Pine Trees add the chance for Chanterelle Mushrooms to be produced. Maple Trees have a 10% chance to give a Purple Mushroom and a 90% chance to give a Red Mushroom. Mystic Trees increase the chance for Purple Mushrooms to be produced.

Mushrooms can be any quality, and is not affected by the Botanist Profession. Quality is calculated based on the number of nearby trees and how many of them have moss on them. A normal tree is counted one, a tree with moss is counted twice. The number the game gets is then divided by 40 and the solution is the chance used for quality upgrade.

Mushroom logs also provide 5xp per harvest no matter the amount of mushrooms harvested.

How do we get Mushroom Logs?

The recipie for Mushroom Logs are unlocked once you reach foraging level 4, and you are able to craft it with 10 hardwood and 10 moss.

Now to reach Foraging Level 4 you will need a total of 1,300xp points towards Foraging.

You get 12XP for chopping down a tree. 1XP for removing the stump. 1XP for every piece of moss harvested off of a tree. 1XP per berry when shaking a salmonberry or blackberry bush. 25XP for removing Large Stumps or Large Logs. 7XP for every foraged item picked up. 3XP Per spring onion harvested 2XP for items growing from season-specific wild seeds (Summer Seeds, for example) 5XP from either the Mushroom Logs or Mushroom Cave

To get your hardwood you'll need at minimum 5 copper bars and 2,000g so you are able to take down large stumps.

With a copper axe, which costs 5 Copper Bars (25 copper ore) and 2,000g to gain, you are able to chop down large stumps which you can find on the farm but they do not respawn if you are on the Standard Farm. You can also find them in the Secret Woods, where they do respawn, but you'll need to either glitch into the woods or get a steel axe. With a steel axe, with costs 5 Iron Bars (25 iron ore) and 5,000g on top of what is needed for a copper axe to get, you are able to chop down large logs, one of which blocks your way into the secret woods. These do not respawn. Large Stump gives 2 hardwood. Large Log gives 8 hardwood.

Moss grows on trees, and it's random when they will. You can also get moss from the trees that spawn during the Green Rain, though the Green Rain happens on one day randomly in Summer. Day 5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 23 are one of the random days in which green rain can happen.

Gameplay

1hr 15min in on Spring Day 15 got the mushroom log recipie 1hr25min in on Summer Day 14 got green rain, Same day made 3 mushroom logs 1hr42min in on Fall day 3 made 1 more mushroom log

I didn't make any more mushrooms logs and instead focused soley on harvesting them.

Common Mushroom: Iridium - 10 Gold - 10 Silver - 31 Normal - 140 Total - 191

Morel Mushroom: Gold - 5 Silver - 2 Normal - 23 Total - 30

Chantrelle: Total - 0

Purple Mushroom: Normal - 20 Total - 20

Red Mushroom Iridium - 10 Silver - 10 Normal - 62 Total - 82

Total Number of Mushrooms: 323 Mushrooms Total Amount of Gold: 25,479g

For mushroom cave: 6 mushrooms every other day. 54 total harvest days are needed to get 324 total mushrooms. There are a total of 112 days in a Stardew Valley year.

What Do Tree Services Charge Per Hour in Louisville, KY?

If you're a homeowner in Louisville or nearby Shelbyville, and you've got a leaning tree or some overgrown limbs close to power lines, you're probably wondering—what’s this going to cost me?

Whether it's a routine trim or a storm cleanup emergency, knowing how tree services charge can help you budget with confidence and avoid unnecessary stress. It’s not just about cutting limbs—there’s real skill, risk, and strategy involved.

Average Hourly Rates for Tree Work in Louisville

On average, tree service companies in Louisville, KY, charge between $100 and $225 per hour. That price usually includes:

A trained crew (often 2–4 people)

Chainsaws, climbing gear, rigging ropes

Use of heavy equipment like wood chippers or bucket trucks

Cleanup and haul-away

But no two jobs are alike. The cost depends heavily on:

Tree size and condition – Removing a 15-foot maple is very different from a 60-foot oak overhanging a roof.

Location on your property – Is it easily accessible, or in a tight corner of your backyard?

Job complexity – Tree cutting is one thing, but if it also involves stump grinding, cabling, or a full tree inspection, that’ll add time.

Urgency – If you need emergency tree service after a storm, the rate may be higher due to the fast turnaround and hazard involved.

When Hourly Pricing Makes Sense (And When It Doesn’t)

Not all companies bill hourly—many offer flat-rate estimates. So when is hourly pricing ideal?

Uncertain scope: If the job involves clearing multiple trees, storm-damaged limbs, or assessing rot or disease, hourly billing might be more practical.

Multiple services bundled: Say you need tree maintenance, stump grinding, and some landscape maintenance—it may be easier and more affordable to price it by the hour.

Custom or changing plans: Some homeowners want to handle part of the cleanup themselves, or decide mid-job to add extra services.

For smaller, clearly defined tasks—like a single tree trimming or one-time tree lopping—a flat fee might be more straightforward.

Why Professional Help Is Worth the Investment

Yes, anyone can rent a chainsaw. But tree work isn't just about making the cut—it’s about where and how that cut is made.

Trees near homes, fences, or power lines pose real risks. Inexperience can turn a simple job into thousands in damage—or worse, injury. That’s why it’s always best to hire professional crews who are licensed, insured, and trained in safe practices.

Still weighing the options? Take a few minutes to read our detailed guide on the Benefits of Professional Tree Services. It covers why professional help often saves time, money, and a few headaches down the road.

Stump Grinding Caboolture

Stump Grinding Caboolture

When a tree is cut down on your property, the stump that remains can be unsightly, as well as dangerous. It may serve as a trip or fall hazard and can even attract unwanted insects to your garden. Stumps can also impede lawn mower access, making it difficult to maintain your yard. Fortunately, there is an easy and inexpensive way to remove old stumps: Stump grinding. This process involves cutting and grinding the stump down to below ground level, using a machine called a stump grinder. The result is wood chips that can be used for mulch or to fill in the hole left behind by the stump.

Many people are surprised to learn that stump grinding is not included in most tree removal services, so they must schedule this additional service separately. However, a company that provides both tree and stump removal services can handle the job more efficiently and at a lower cost than if you hire two separate companies to complete the work. Stump grinding should be performed as soon as possible after a tree is removed, since the stump will continue to grow and can eventually become tripping or falling hazards.

Stump grinders have a sharp, powerful blade that chews up the stump and some of the surrounding roots, turning them into sawdust-like mulch. Riverbend Landscapes & Tree Service uses a professional-grade stump grinder, which can handle the toughest of stumps while remaining portable enough to fit through most garden gates. It’s important to clear the area before attempting to grind a stump, and to protect adjacent plants with hay or cardboard. It is also important to contact your state’s 811 Before You Dig hotline and have underground utility lines marked before beginning the project.

While some tree stumps can be replanted after being ground out, it’s usually more practical to have them removed completely by a professional. Stumps that are not removed can also become tripping or safety hazards, and they may grow into invasive species like maples and oaks.

The base price for stump grinding is determined by measuring the diameter of the stump in inches, including any surface roots. When measuring, it is important to go “dirt-to-dirt,” meaning that the measurement should be taken from the farthest edge of the stump to its closest point in the soil. In addition, it is important to take measurements from multiple locations around the stump, as it can be tricky to determine its exact size when there are multiple angled roots. The final cost will also be affected by weather conditions, as grinding is not safe when the ground is wet or saturated.

Rumon 'Crushjaw' Thaerskaine's Backstory: Rearmed

Fandom: Dungeons And Dragons (5E)

Pairing: N/A, Crushjaw-centric

Rating: Holy shit M.

AN: This is a hypothetical scenario featuring original characters in a world created by my Dungeon Master. As usual, this is non-canon and I own nothing aside from intellectual properties specifically attached to Crushjaw. This installment is mechanically unsound in a multitude of ways and ignores certain important lore facets. Trigger warnings are listed inside. Enjoy!

Taglist: @sporadic-fics and @cookiethewriter!

Inspired By: Black Hill: Low Force

[Crushjaw is a level zero barbarian, and his appearance can be found here.]

[!TRIGGER WARNING!: This installment contains multiple triggering scenes including semi-graphic depictions of gore and mentions of bile/vomit. Reader discretion is advised. Stay safe!]

He would have loved to claim he had been goaded into it. Would have loved to say that it wasn't his fault or explain that it hadn't happened like he remembered. Except Rumon knew all too well that responsibility didn't work like that. His memory may be faulty, but the proof was in Krae's testimony.

Himself and his childhood friend Krae had both been interested in the same individual from a neighboring clan, the two of them butting heads over the object of their affections more than once. So of course when Krae came to him with news of an enormous ogre that had set up its stomping grounds near one of their trade routes, Rumon fairly leaped at the opportunity to fight the beast and claim victory over it. After all, what better way to prove his worth and earn a name from the clan leader than with an act of heroism?

Krae naturally came along, saying that he feared the ogre may be too tall an order for even Rumon to handle. This just made Rumon all the more determined to manage the creature single handedly.

They set up camp near where Krae claimed to have spotted the beast, the two goliaths joking and swapping drinks from a canteen of strong spirits. Truly, until both of them had set their sights on the same person, they had been brothers in all but blood. Rumon still regarded Krae as such, trusting to a fault, and thusly he missed the shifty glances the older goliath kept aiming at the treeline while the sun set.

"Come, Rumon! The moon is high. With its light, surely we shall find the ogre." Krae had cajoled after Rumon was fairly drunk, "unless, of course, you are afraid of a night hunt?"

"I fear nothing!" Rumon had boasted, "the gods are with me this night. You shall witness my triumph, Krae!"

Bold words. His grandmatron had always said that pride went before a fall.

Rumon recalled very little of the hunt after that, his memory muddied with drink. Despite Krae's insistence that the moonlight was sufficient, Rumon's recollections were oddly dim. He vaguely remembered stumbling around beneath the thick spruce canopy, his warhammer clumsy in his hands.

He remembered swinging with all his might and striking something that gave under the assault, the liquor Krae had plied him with steeling his ringing blows to something that rivaled even Varandur's mountain shapers.

He remembered when the weight of his weapon suddenly vanished, and there was a rancid gust of seethingly-hot air that blew his hair to the side. The roar was strange to his ear, far-off and faded. Emptiness rang too loud for him to hear as he wondered where his weapon had gone.

Rumon remembered realizing that he was flat on his stomach on the ground.

Where the memory became razor-sharp once more was when he tried to push himself up onto his elbows, and found his body woefully unbalanced. The goliath searched for the source of the problem and quickly located it, the sight of what was left of his mangled right arm more than enough to jerk him back to stark sobriety.

It had been severed at the elbow, though the term was a bit too kind for the injury. The appendage looked more as though it had been crushed with something that might have had an edge at one point.

Rumon had raised his eyes, mind grinding to a halt when he spotted his warhammer several yards away with his right hand still gripping the haft. Past that, along a trail marked by shattered tree trunks, slumped an enormous ogre clutching a slab of a sword. It seemed closer to a chunk of masonry than a true weapon, and Rumon's stomach had churned as he realized what had happened.

Mercifully, the agony had struck him and he promptly vomited before losing consciousness.

×+×

Gods only knew how long he had slept after that. It was a miracle he had even made it back to their healer; apparently Krae had all but carried him home. The embarrassment from that instance alone would have been enough to kill Rumon, never mind the fact that his dominant arm was now nothing but a bandaged stump.

The grandmatron would have none of it though, her craggy face somehow even more stern when Rumon managed to finally rouse himself.

"You have been named Crushjaw, little pebble. A worthy title." Her tone was icy. "I have gone through much trouble to save you. I am indebted to our chieftain."

Crushjaw. Rumon's face fairly burned with shame. "The ogre-?"

"Krae slew the beast. He brought one of its tusks back as proof. The chieftain was quite flattered by his offering, praising Krae for his accomplishment and naming him Tuskclaimer. As for his name for you..." The matron bowed her head, her expression one of grief.

"Grandma…"

"Don't you grandma me, little pebble!" The elderly goliath erupted, glaring fiercely at Rumon. Her eyes filled with tears as she went on, "you are anathema now, dear Rumon. Once you are able to walk, the clan leader has declared that you are to leave. I am no longer your grandmother. This place is no longer your home."

"'Leave'?" Rumon repeated stupidly. It felt as though everything was crashing down around him, his mind racing to comprehend. Their clan hadn't had an expulsion in his entire lifetime, wariness and confidence found too equally amongst their ranks. Compounding his confusion was the claim that Krae had killed the ogre. Rumon had been certain... "I understand." He said finally. "I am unworthy of your kindness. Thank you."

He couldn't comprehend why his grandmother wept harder at his acceptance. This was the way it had always been.

×+×

Crushjaw.

It certainly felt as though he was being crushed to death. Loneliness was a miserable traveling companion.

Rumon, very nearly unable to fend for himself, resorted to setting small game snares in the uncharted wilds. It was a child's way of hunting, but he was too hungry to be bothered by the prick to his already-bruised pride.

The few people he did encounter seemed overly wary of him. After all, a one-armed, exiled goliath would be the type to resort to petty theft.

But he wasn't a threat. He had never been a threat before, aside from just being large. Rumon couldn't understand the sudden shift in demeanor; he couldn't possibly fathom the air of desperation that his injury gave off.

It began to get easier when the weather cooled, the bulk of the thick cloak from his grandmother concealing his missing arm. The wound had not healed prettily, but Rumon knew better than to look a gift horse in the mouth. He hadn't died. That was all he could hope for.

He wandered alone for most of the cold times, his only companions the booming pines that fractured from the weight of the ice and snow. His thoughts had a habit of straying to Krae, and he wondered what had truly transpired that evening more than he would care to admit. Had he imagined killing the ogre? Was his mind that addled by the strength of the drink they had shared?

Surely Krae wouldn't have lied. Nothing good ever came of lying or taking the credit for someone else's accomplishments. Rumon eventually settled on the assumption that his memory must have been faulty.

After that, the whole world seemed a gray and unforgiving place, and the goliath could feel himself fading into something of the same type. Something ragged and harsh, no longer a proud warrior but a lamed animal with a crushed jaw.

That is, until the day he encountered an old elf hanging by the leg from his horse's saddle.

"You there!" The elven man shouted once he seemed to notice the large individual sauntering up through the trunks of barren maples. "Don't suppose you'd be able to lend me a hand?"

Rumon, for whatever reason, found himself throwing his mantle back over his shoulder to reveal the stump of his arm. "Good thing you only need one hand, sirrah. It's all I have to offer." He remarked.

The elf nearly died of laughter, already beet-red in the face from being stuck hanging upside down for so long. To Rumon's shock however, when he circled around the horse to help the elf dislodge himself, he realized that the leg that wasn't caught in the stirrups was severed at the knee. The fellow's pant leg was neatly pinned at the joint, padding sewn into the area as if to mimic a kneecap.

Before Rumon could say anything though, the wiry elf explained, "I lost my leg a few miles back, and this damned animal dragged me along until she got bored. Don't suppose you can accompany me a little ways until I relocate it? Thing is worth its weight in gold."

The goliath easily hefted the older fellow into the saddle before his words caught up with him. "You...lost your leg?" Rumon blinked, his brow furrowed in confusion. "I was unaware that elves could regrow limbs."

The elf looked at him a little sideways, muttering something about still waters running deep before he just shook his head and laughed, "no son, it's a genuine Chuck original. A fake leg."

A fake leg. Rumon seized the horse's bridle, desperation giving his voice a new level of gravel as he begged for more information. The elf shrewdly bargained with him: in exchange for help in reclaiming his prosthetic, he would gladly share what information he had.

"My name is Shawell." The elf introduced himself. "And you are…?"

Rumon hesitated for a moment. "Crushjaw." If people were to know his name, they would serve as a reminder of his foolhardy pride. A constant warning to heed in the future.

"Pleasure to meet you, Crush." Shawell tugged on the reins, turning his mare back in the direction he had come from. "We'd better hurry. We'll lose the daylight."

Crush. Rumon cracked his first smile in months, positioning himself on the elf's left side to steady him in the saddle.

Why is it so expensive to remove a tree?  To understand why it can be so expense to remove a tree, there are many factors to consider.  First, this is a great and fair question when coming from anyone outside of the Tree service industry.  In an attempt to better expand, I'll try to add a few important points, and will likely contribute further to the Aldine Tree Services Houston Stump Grinding blog soon.  We thank you in advance for reading with an open mind.

The Tree Service industry is an above average risk profession.  Consequently, our premiums are extremely high.  This is a cost which is hard for us to "wear on our shirts".  Most potential customers have already considered the easily seen costs such as labor, vehicles and professional tools, however insurance is a not so tangible hidden cost which we pay heavily to maintain.

The insurance companies know most people aren't meant to climb trees.  We are a very small local and family owned company, however we pay our team members very well.  

The work is brutal, and requires incredible strength, skill and stamina.  

We've had many people come to us eager to learn, however after a short period of time realized they needed to look for another type of work.  

The team members who work on the ground hauling away sections, branches, limbs, twigs, logs, are highly paid.  

Due to the skill set required, a member of our company team capable and experienced climbing a tree is paid even more.  To become a skilled tree climber, one may literally invest months or years in an apprentice role.  

Our industry is very competitive, and we pay our workers fairly.

Work Trucks

Stump Grinders

Industrial Trailers

Chippers

Professional Chainsaws

Safety Ropes

Personal safety Harnesses

Safety Goggles and glasses.

Tree Climbing boots

Uniforms

Axes, Pick-ax, Shovels

Fuel, oil, hydraulic fluids

Beyond Gas, Diesel, Oil, and filters (none of which are free to us), we have to pay for maintenance and upkeep to each of our trucks.  Naturally, we have mechanical repairs which further add to our costs.

We pull heavy loads, and this is very hard on Brake pads.  We replace these very frequently, and the cost adds up.

Repairs on a Diesel are notoriously expensive, and we are not exempt.

Similar to brake pads, the weight of our loads, causes us to wear out tires much faster than any rationally thinking person outside of the industry might consider.

We have seen many in the industry look at chainsaws, chippers, and stump grinders as almost disposable.  By this I mean, literally we've observed and been told by some of our professional peers that their time is too valuable to consider maintaining a chain-saw.  Many trash them instead of repairing them.  Some will sell them for pennies on the dollar to allow them to be used for parts in a Fred G. Sanford junkyard philosophy.

Time is an expensive commodity in and of itself, and we often wish we could figure out a way to add more hours to a day, but we all know it's not going to happen.  We invest our own personal time maintaining and repairing our equipment.  We know it's much better for the environment to try to keep an item working, and not simply buy another one.  We are highly respectful of Mother Nature.  

Replacing the teeth on a stump grinder is very time consuming, and requires a high degree of patience and mechanical skill.  The parts themselves often cause an informed client to shake their head in disbelief.

Chippers also require a great deal of upkeep, and have multiple expensive pieces.

Similar to snowflakes, no two trees are alike.  Some folks believe a Pine tree should be easy to cut, because it doesn't have a great number of branches.  Honestly, this is only partially true.  The hard fact is most new tree climbers are more afraid to climb a pine than most other trees.

Pines are very flexible, and bob and weave with only a bit of wind.  The higher we climb, the more they bend.  Speaking for myself, I have a high degree of confidence in my skill-set, however I have to dedicate more time when cutting a pine.  We practice what we preach, and without safety, we won't be in business.  

Ash trees present a dense population of branches and make for a work intensive project.  Many have had their Ash infected with bores, or have simply feared the bores getting into one tree, and spreading through their property forest and have asked us to remove them even when they hadn't been infected.  

Oaks are a solid tree requiring lots of patience, because the saw blade isn't able to conquer the bark and logs at the same speed as other varieties.

Elms grow tall, and have many branches.

Pecans are deceptively time consuming arbor to tackle.

A Hackberry presents less challenges than an Ash.

Sycamores and Maples present their own respective challenges.

This is a good question.  Any project which presents more risk, requires us to work more deliberately and employ more team members.  These are costly resources for us.

My name is Delfino Sanchez Vargas, and I've tried to summarize this in an easy to consume fashion.  We hope it helps you process and understand our costs which are all involved with project pricing.  We thank all of our loyal customers for helping us with repeat business, and for referring their neighbors, family, coworkers, and friends.

The department splitter is a pointy plier for a number of splitting of useless branches and stumps. For pulling fibers (on conifers with fibrous wooden) or breaking of little wooden particles (on deciduous bushes with much less fibrous wooden) the jin plier is used.

A slim chisel which shouldn't be too sharp is properly fitted to lifting wooden fibers. Numerous loop knifes and carving hooks are used for peeling off bark and for carving slight furrows, which ought to comply with the course of the fibers.

There are many in a different way formed carving instruments, usually offered in units, in numerous qualities and sizes, which work properly for shaping, smoothing, contouring, narrowing or hollowing out deadwood.

In an effort to erase the final traces of your work and take away wooden fibers protruding it's best to make use of a gasoline torch which is fueled with lighter gasoline for instance. After scorching, the charred wooden layer is disregarded with metal, brass or nylon brushes.

For preserving decayed deadwood you need to use wooden hardener, which consists of liquid plastics diluted in acetone. The well-known Japanese jin liquid consists of lime sulphur which is generally used for whitening the deadwood but additionally has some preserving impact.

Electrical Bonsai Instruments

Whenever you use powertools excessive warning is important as a result of unhealthy accidents can occur very simply. All the time put on protecting glasses to keep away from wooden splinters or steel bristles getting hurled into your eyes! An total, gloves, mud masks and even a helmet might be a good suggestion for in depth deadwood work with highly effective electrical Bonsai instruments. Work with full focus and really considerate, maintain the machine firmly in your palms and watch out with the pace management dial and the ability button.

The „Dremel“ is a small machine for which a big assortment of bits with a three mm shank is out there. There are related machines by different producers for which the identical bits can be utilized: rotating brushes product of nylon, brass or metal for eradicating bark and smoothing deadwood, numerous cutters, grinders, abrasive wheels and rather more.

The „Makita“ is without doubt one of the hottest massive machines amongst Bonsai fans, for bits with a 6 mm shank. Different producers provide related die grinders. It is vital that you just select a machine with a pace management dial as a result of the assorted bits should be used with totally different pace. For these massive powertools there's additionally all kinds of highly effective bits like rotating brushes made of various supplies, reducing wheels, round saws, grinding bits and abrasive wheels in many alternative shapes. Because of the huge energy and heaviness of the big die grinder machines, which frequently make their use troublesome and harmful, they don't seem to be really helpful for freshmen and inexpert handymen.

Some Bonsai professionals use sandblasting machines for deadwood work. These are large, costly units for which a particular work atmosphere, protecting gear and particular knowhow is required. The outcomes of this deadwood work technique are sometimes very convincing.

For eradicating rust and grime on the instruments' blades there are rust erasers (like „Clear Mate“) and for sharpening the blades numerous varieties of grindstones can be found. Sharpening wants a bit train and it's a good suggestion to observe on outdated, nugatory shears first. Bonsai tools and equipment needs to be disinfected every now and then, so as to stop taking fungi, micro organism or virus infections from one tree to the following. For the upkeep of hinges and blades gun oil or camellia oil are appropriate. Coco brushes are used for sweeping trunks, Nebaris, soil surfaces, cabinets, tables, instruments and so forth.

For watering a small assortment of Bonsai bushes a ball-shower or a watering can is okay. There are totally different sizes and shapes of watering cans, nevertheless it ought to have a nice nozzle and an extended neck to provide sufficient stress to get the water out of the tiny holes of the nozzle. In case you have a big Bonsai assortment, a backyard hose with a sprinkler stick is handy.

For misting the Bonsai bushes with water or spraying plant safety merchandise or leaf fertilizer resolution you want spray cans, both these you pump up earlier than use or these you need to pump together with your fingers for every spray puff.

In lots of areas the faucet water accommodates plenty of limescale and generally even chlorine which makes the water inapplicable for Bonsai bushes. Particularly maples and azaleas want delicate water. Nicely water can also be usually calciferous and moreover ferrous. It's due to this fact helpful to gather rainwater. A rain barrel which is stuffed by a down pipe or a bigger water tank will do a very good job. Ultimate is a big underground water tank or cistern from which you'll be able to faucet the water with a hand operated or electrical pump.

Whenever you work on a Bonsai, you flip it round many instances and you'll scratch the desk the Bonsai is standing on. It's onerous work to carry and switch heavy bushes on a regular basis. Bonsai tree care might be simpler; there are a variety of wonderful work tables, like easy flat rotary discs, large turntables which might be tilted in numerous instructions or vertically adjustable turntables on three legs.

Making a Garden That Welcomes the Birds (Published 2020)@|how to get birds in your garden@|https://ift.tt/3E6smRi

IN THE GARDEN

Using native plant species helps, but there are two other things you can do to make birds feel at home — and they don’t involve any planting at all.

June 17, 2020

In this most isolated of springs, birds have kept me company. I’ve watched their mating games and turf wars, listened to their serenades and tagged along as they shopped for just the right piece of garden real estate (as long as I was very quiet; no kibitzing, Margaret). Some even let me meet their newborns when the big moment came.

All the things I cannot do with my people so much lately, we’ve been doing as usual; the birds remained in my bubble all along. I cannot imagine life without the 70 or so species that visit or reside in the garden each year. As I often say (and write): The birds taught me to garden — or at least to do it smarter.

When I first came as a weekender decades ago from New York City to the rural spot where I now live full time, there were unfamiliar voices and flashes of color in the surrounding shrubs and trees as I hacked through multiflora rose and wild blackberry to make vegetable and flower beds.

I got a field guide and learned their names: scarlet tanager, indigo bunting, American redstart, rose-breasted grosbeak. In the same way that my beginning-gardener self coveted every plant in her first garden catalogs, I imagined attracting every bird in that book.

Like most beginners, I sought the answer in fancy feeders and every manner of well-designed birdhouse — designed from a human aesthetic, that is, although not necessarily meeting bird specifications. Eventually I came to visualize this place as their refuge: shelter and water within a giant, living bird feeder that offers appropriate sustenance for breeding season, to fuel migration’s big energy demands or to survive the coldest months for those who choose to spend them with me.

Studying my growing collection of field guides on the life histories and diets of birds that I’d see — the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s All About Birds site and its online courses are good resources, as well — I reduced lawn areas to make room for native plants and to support more insects and, in turn, birds. Nearly every organism in the food web eats insects or eats someone who eats them — or benefits from the pollination services that insects provide.

Two in-ground water gardens like the one in the foreground attract all manner of wildlife to my land — including many birds — year-round. Uphill, islands that were once lawn are now unmown, and native grasses and forbs like little bluestem, goldenrods and asters are gradually laying claim, sustaining insects and, therefore, birds.Credit…Margaret Roach

Thinking of plant choices not as just ornament but as ecological workhorses is not where I began. But it’s where I came to — to think in terms of habitat.

[external_link offset=1]

Something I heard the ornithologist Pete Dunne say has stuck: “Birds are almost always where they are supposed to be.” Mr. Dunne, a longtime leader in New Jersey Audubon and the author of many books, was offering a tip about bird-watching: The habitat where you spot a bird is an important clue to its identification. But his insight is also key to setting realistic expectations and planning what to do to enhance your site.

Reality check: No matter what I do, waterfowl or grassland birds won’t favor my garden — although both pass time nearby. I am on a steep uphill site, surrounded by second-growth forest. Forest birds, including migrant songbirds looking for breeding ground, plus lots and lots of woodpeckers, think it looks just swell and are among those I need to think about.

In addition to mowing less, I have adopted two particular actions on behalf of the birds — on behalf of habitat — that involve no planting at all.

No. 1: Leave Dying Trees Alone

These days, I never take down a dead or dying tree lower than the level required for safety.

A friend texted a photo recently of a declining, massive old oak in a prominent spot in her suburban backyard. She had consulted an arborist who suggested removal and grinding out the stump, standard practice in residential environments.

“I guess trees have a life, and unfortunately this beauty is at the end,” she wrote.

I begged to differ, and quickly shot back photos of an old birch that had been dropping big pieces of its canopy out back years ago, and a massive maple by the driveway that had been doing likewise recently. My arborist had helped me stabilize and transition them to wildlife trees, or snags — a critical part of habitat that we homeowners too often erase in the name of neatness.

As long as they pose no danger to people, power lines or structures, dead and dying trees have an afterlife as a place for wildlife to nest or den; a lookout perch for a raptor seeking dinner; a food source for insects (who, in turn, feed the masses). Lichen, fungi and mosses grow on them, providing food and shelter.

Removing their tons of biomass deprives the food web of all of that life-giving potential. According to the National Wildlife Federation, the removal of dead material from forests can mean a loss of habitat for up to a fifth of the animals in the ecosystem, and more than 1,000 species of wildlife nationwide use snags. That includes woodpeckers, whose excavating efforts in dead trees help not just their own species.

“More than 40 bird species in North America depend on woodpecker carpentry for their nest and roost cavities,” writes Stephen Shunk in “Peterson Reference Guide to Woodpeckers of North America.” These secondary nesters — among them, tree swallows, bluebirds, titmice, wrens, flycatchers and some owls and ducks — cannot create cavities, but quickly adopt abandoned holes.

“Having a more healthy woodpecker population buys you more than just woodpeckers,” John Marzluff, an ornithologist and urban ecologist at the University of Washington, told me in an interview a few years ago on the publication of “Welcome to Subirdia,” his book about rich habitat opportunities in developed areas. “But they need dead trees.”

Too-tidy landscapes offer no invitation to the woodpeckers, keystone species or facilitators others rely on. Besides nest cavities, some woodpeckers create sap wells where hummingbirds and butterflies, like the red-spotted purple, like to drink. Migrating ruby-throated hummingbirds follow yellow-bellied sapsuckers to ensure an early food source before many plants are providing nectar.

Image

I was able to salvage a candelabra-like arrangement of branch stubs in addition to the entire main trunk of the declining maple by my driveway, which is better from the wildlife point of view than merely topping the tree.Credit…Margaret Roach

The bigger the snag, the better for wildlife, but safety must be considered. The safe height in my open, rural garden exceeds what works elsewhere, which may be less than 10 feet (where my friend’s oak, rescued from destruction, now registers). Big pieces of the upper carcass of each of my snags lie near where they once stood, mimicking how they would fall and decompose in a forest — which, again, might not work in some yards.

Some twiggy parts could form an out-of-the-way brush pile, though, another wildlife attractor. Even a high stump can support a lot of life, compared to a ground-level cut or ground-out one.

Yes, there can be birdhouses — but not the models I started with. Choose them not for cuteness, but according to the specifications preferred by local cavity nesters. Cornell’s NestWatch site, with its All About Bird Houses section, will guide you to your area’s cavity-nesting species, ranked in order of urgency of need for more nest sites, with downloadable plans for boxes and nesting shelves. Build one or have it built, or use the dimensions to buy the right box.

Be a good landlord, siting the proper unit in the location that the instructions indicate. Secure the birdhouse against predators, by adding a stovepipe baffle on the pole mount, for instance, in the case of bluebird boxes. (More on bluebirds is at Sialis.org.) Clean nest boxes in late winter to offer a fresh start.

[external_link offset=2]

No. 2: Provide a Water Supply

Maybe my biggest non-planting contribution of all: I provide water 12 months a year.

For entirely selfish reasons — to create the sound of running water — I dug two in-ground pools lined with thick rubber sheeting early in my weekender days. I had no idea the effect they would have on wildlife, particularly because I keep a hole in the ice all winter with an electric floating de-icer, a contraption adapted from cattle-tank defrosters used so livestock can have drinking water in winter. The smallest versions will keep a birdbath open for business.

I calculated the required device wattage with help from a water-garden specialty supply company, by considering the severity of the winter temperatures where I live, plus the total surface area of each pool, and installed weather-resistant GFCI outlets adjacent to each pool. (An important safety note: De-icers cannot run on extension cords.) The idea is not to heat the water or keep the entire surface open, but merely to keep a drinking hole open in the ice.

The warbler called Louisiana waterthrush is a regular customer, bobbing the back of its body up and down to some unheard dance beat as it forages for insects. One winter, the bigger pool (and the fruit of a group of crab apple trees just above) drew a flock of irruptive pine grosbeaks visiting from Canada, who spent some weeks there.

I can look up from my desk at any time of day, any time of year, and there is hardly a moment when someone — feathered, fur-bearing, amphibian or otherwise, including a diversity of summer dragonflies — is not partaking.

So much so that when people ask me what my favorite “bird plant” is, I often reply, “Water.” (The real answer: One of the many native flowering-then-fruiting winterberry holly shrubs massed around the perimeter, which bring in winter flocks of cedar waxwings and robins. Your most effective bird-supporting native plants can be found in a ZIP code-based search on the Audubon Society website.)

The only other place in the garden that competes with the little pools for such nonstop activity? The older snag, that birch, where even as I write this, a pileated woodpecker is having at it.

Bird Safety: A Few Tips

If you provide bird feeders, as I do in winter, when resident black bear are not active, keep them clean and consistently well stocked.

And mitigate the two most serious dangers to birds in our human environments: cats and window glass.

The American Bird Conservancy urges us to help reduce window strikes, which kill up to a billion birds a year in the United States. Exterior screens, netting and certain decals, and even retrofitting with new patterned glass, are among the recommended options.

To reduce the danger of high-speed impacts, place feeders and birdbaths closer than three feet to a window or farther than 30 feet away.

Domestic and feral cats kill some 2.4 billion birds annually in the United States, according to the American Bird Conservancy — “the largest human-caused mortality to birds.” There is only one solution: Keep pet cats indoors.

Figure Eights

The Sunderland Airfield wasn’t much to look at. It had one hangar with a slanted roof. Scars of dark brown dirt were its landing strips. Many drivers mistook it for one of the old tobacco barns that littered the fields out in Western Massachusetts. But in early May every year, a small eclectic band of aircraft enthusiasts, usually from the surrounding towns, huddled while their wives were at the farmer’s market, to meet Bunsen outside his hangar, admiring a mix of antiques and newish models. They were mostly all men and greeted each other by solemn nods of recognition, stern frowns of acceptance. When something was malfunctioning, be it a rusty alternator or loose wing flap, Bunsen was their go-to. His tattoos, perpetual blackened hands and greying stubble set him apart from the plumper, balding retirees on the field, but he held his own. He proved his salt by being on the job nearly every day since he arrived. Also: his knack of reckless flying was an event all its own.

“Storm’s on its way, Bunsen. I’d shut the hangar door if I were you.

“Oh yeah? I haven’t checked the forecast today but…”

“Don’t need to check the forecast to see them clouds o’er d’ere. Might wanna call your pilot back in.”

 Bunsen crawled out from beneath the engine block to see a mass of dark grey clouds hanging above the tree line. He squinted to see a flicker of lightning. The leafless maples swayed as if they were shivering.

Bunsen had started a flight class for amateurs of all ages and he was proud to showcase his finer students during the aircraft show. Mostly his flyers were bored students from the University down the road. The class size didn’t matter. He was simply pleased to see a handful engaged in something outside of the classroom. Kindred spirits, he thought.

“I’ll give Allison another few laps. But when you’re right, you’re right,” he said as he turned back toward his only customer. Charlie was a hobby flyer and had a knack of hogging Bunsen’s attention. When it came to inane jabber, the guy was unmatched. In his old age, he was able to leave his dentistry business and retire comfortably with his wife Susanne and had enough time and money left over to take his single-engine plane out once a month.

Bunsen looked at him with a mixture of admiration and frustration. For all Bunsen knew, Charlie never left Sunderland his entire life. Day in, day out in that tiny dentistry office. For years, Bunsen tried to avoid that life.

A gravelly voice rose out from a group of men who had gathered by a light blue Cherokee Sundowner. It sounded familiar. The voice stopped when Bunsen tried to listen closer, then a burst of laughter exploded from the group. Probably someone just doing an impression, he thought. When his stare fell upon his hands, he heard the delayed crack of thunder and stirred himself back to Charlie.

“I’m going to head back to the homestead, Bunsy. Thanks again for taking a look underneath the hood, especially during your showcase,” Charlie said as his quiet yawn turned into a groan of exhaustion.

“I have a couple of flight classes this week but I’ll be able to replace the alternator before too long.”

“New recruits, eh? Well, you stay dry tonight. But don’t forget about your pilot up there doin’ er Figure Eights.”

Bunsen looked to the sky. Allison was his prized pilot. She held her own in the hangar – helping reassemble the transmission of a Beechcraft Musketeer on her first week – as well as in the air. She liked to Crab along the Road with her plane when there were high crosswinds. This was a move that took normal students years to conquer. With Allison, just weeks. She was a local of Sunderland who had graduated a few years back. She kept on some coursework but came near every week to “spread her wings”.

            By the time Bunsen found a place at The Hangar that night, it was nearly half past nine. The bar should have felt more welcoming, he thought, since he was the only airfield mechanic who drank there. It owed its name to his business, after all. Instead, he had to outlast the college students and compete for a stool. It was near finals, too, which somehow made it worse.

“Your hands looks like they got tattoos on ‘em,” the girl to his right said as he took a seat. She wore a t-shirt of a band he didn’t recognize. “They look wet.”

           “Yeah, well, it’s engine grease. I didn’t get a chance to scrub them when I got off.”

           She eyed him drunkenly, waiting for him to continue.

           Bunsen pinched his glass of warm whiskey. He raised it, saluting her as she turned away.

           A sharp jab hit his shoulder blade.  Bunsen clenched his teeth as he turned, expecting to find the girl’s boyfriend looking for trouble, but found instead Whittaker glaring at him. The owner of the gravelly voice from this afternoon, the joker at the hangar. His yellow face looked freeze-dried like an old apple, the cheekbones high and shrunken. It had been nearly fourteen years ago.

           “Let’s forgo the formalities, Bunsen,” he said as grinned. “And anyways, I know you’re not a fan of handshakes these days. I need a pilot. Someone fast and capable. There is money to be made if you play this out right. I know it’s been awhile but you still know the drill. Let’s call it… an investment. Be smart about this, Bunsen, you know what happens if I don’t get what I want.”

           Bunsen didn’t want to look at his hands but he did so, absentmindedly

           “And I need them by Friday. They are expecting a fly-over around midnight.”

           Bunsen kept his eyes down. The memories were too vivid, the excruciating agony seemed to never fade as people told him they would.

           “Do me hear me, Bunsen?!” The entirety of The Hangar seemed to grind to a halt when Whittaker spoke up. His sunken eyes darted around the room, realizing he was making a scene. Lowering his voice, leaning into Bunsen’s ear, he whispered, “Do you like them ring fingers?”

           A darkened grimace grew beneath Whittaker’s hat as he pulled back and straightened himself.

           The Hangar had resumed its inane soundtrack and no one seemed to pay attention to the two men by the time their conversation was over. Whittaker took his time walking to the back door entrance. Bunsen watched him the entire way.

            The next morning Allison drove out to the field after her morning class. Bunsen was waiting for her in the parking lot, leaning on his car.

           “Glad the storm passed. Looking to get out there as soon as I can. We’re talking about Bronfenbrenner’s Macrosystems in Psych and I wanted to blow my brains out. Took all my patience not to pack up and leave.”

           She was restless, Bunsen thought. That was good. But there was no easy way to explain this job to her, to explain the debts he had. He kept Whittaker at bay for years, and hoped the past would not catch up to him.

It was a lifetime ago, when he was more of a pilot than mechanic. Montreal, the border, filling backpacks with grass, the blanket of the night sky.

Allison stepped into his field of vision again, skirting around him on her way to the plane.

“What are you doing Friday?” he asked.

“I have a paper due for Sociology at noon,” she replied.

“And what are you doing after that?”

“I was thinking of driving over to catch a movie,” Allison smiled as she gave a sideways look. “Why the sudden interest in my schedule?”

“I have some work for you if you’re interested.” Keep it as vague as possible, Bunsen figured, since he didn’t even know the particulars of Whittaker’s shipment.

“Some work?”

           “Look,” Bunsen closed his eyes and only at this moment realized he was going to have to lay his cards out flat. “This flight school… I know some people… It’s been a long road for me…”

           “Look. You can try to stand there and try to find the words to paint yourself as some righteous plane mechanic who just walked into this town on your good graces but that’s clearly not you. I’ve been a student for awhile now, and was hoping you’d finally open up. You are riddled with tattoos and have deep scars on your torso.” Allison didn’t know where this courage was coming from, to tell him all of this. “And they’re not scars caused by maintenance work. You have pinkies missing on both of your hands and you can fly a plane like no one else. Tell me what this job is.“

           The words flew from Allison’s mouth. She felt her face flush.

           Bunsen felt like he saw Allison for the first time. She was standing in front of him, pulling away at his costume that felt too fake for too long. She wanted to know and she was right to ask.

           “I started out just like you. I loved the flight, the air, ever since I was a kid. And like you, I’d do anything to stay up there,” Bunsen said as he felt his hand reaching into his pocket for the soft paper pack of Marlboros. “Life makes sense up there. But I had a money problem and I thought I figured a way out.”

           “One day, I loaded my backpack up with some… products and I flew my Cessna 172 over to Montreal, where I knew a few guys. It was a weekend in May and I had the time… so why not. They were interested what I grew and before I knew it I was home. The whole thing took a few hours. I decided to keep it up through the summer. There was no danger in it, really. My backpack only fit so much… and as you know, I can land anywhere. I was invincible.”

Allison saw a younger Bunsen surface as he spoke, She could sense his trying to remain serious in his conversation, but there was a deep-seeded pride she saw flash in his eyes. His story, she saw, was one that he wanted to get off his chest for a while. His words flowed between his drags of the cigarette.

“A client approached me once with a simple idea of moving a bigger shipment, with no cost to me. Whittaker assured me that it was no different than the trips I was already making. However,” Bunsen tapped his nostril as he met Allison’s eyes again. “It was a different product.

“It was a different game, to be honest. My Montreal trips became suddenly more frequent and the customers… more desperate…” Bunsen absentmindedly rubbed his stump. “More cagey. And it was more than Montreal. Sometimes Toronto, sometimes Onterio. On my last trip across, I made my drop and met some unfriendly faces and got jumped when I arrived back home. I didn’t recognize anyone but I heard that voice. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out certain mysteries. That’s when he took these.”

His finger stumps were smoothed over now, as Allison took her first up-close look. The two flaps of skin met unnaturally at the midpoint on each finger, a glass-like line of scar on each. Bunsen pulled his hands back sharply as he continued.

“I came out here,” he fanned his arm to showcase the modest airplane hangar, as if to show Allison for the first time, “to forget all that. And I was doing a good job of keeping my head down when Whittaker popped back in earlier in the week. He found me at The Hangar, and…” Bunsen was at a loss of words since he started speaking.

“He needs another pilot,” Allison said, finishing his sentence.

“Another investment. Yes.”

“He’s on his way?”

Bunsen cupped his lit cigarette and turned towards Allison. He crouched to meet her height and took hold of her shoulders. “I have a plan. He’ll want to see you fly for a few notches before he agrees that you’re right for the shipment. And while you’re up there, I can…All I need is a distraction.”

 Whittaker showed up an hour later. The same mustard yellow Chrystler Cordoba with rust stains along the rear bumper.

“That your girl up there?” His voice was almost guttural as he got out of the car. “I heard she can Crab the Road like the best of them. I was talking to a few of your backwood friends about her yesterday at the show. Allison, right?”

           Bunsen cringed at the thought of how Whittaker found out her name but tried to keep his composure as he walked up to the man who disfigured him, trying to keep his wrench hidden from view. “Yeah. Allison’s the best I’ve seen. Grew up around here in these backwoods, too.” His hand tightened.

           Whittaker turned away to look up at Allison as she looped her second Figure Eight. “You know, I’m older but I’m not as blind as you think I am, Bunsy.” He braced himself for Bunsen’s wrench. He caught the tool without looking and elbowed the mechanic in the collarbone.

           “You didn’t even think to change your name when you moved to a new town?” Whittaker brandished a blade from his pocket and walked over to Bunsen, now slumped to his knees. “You’re done, you dumb fool.”

           Scrambling to his knees, Bunsen grabbed at Whittaker’s ankles and pulled as hard as he could. Whittaker wasn’t ready for the strange grapple and teetered backwards, landing hard on his ass. His grip loosened on the blade and for a second emitted a long, faint wheeze.

           Bunsen managed to crawl on top of his assailant and punched him hard in the face; there was a crack of bone under his fist.

           Unprecedented rage seemed to spill out of Whittaker’s eyes. Bunsen looked at the grown man squarely and knew that one of them would not survive this. If he were able to maintain the upper hand a bit longer…

           Whittaker was able to pull him closer after the punch, bringing Bunsen close enough to smell his sour breath. Blood was filling his mouth and Bunsen could see that he knocked out two lower teeth after landing his last hit. The old man still had life in him yet, and somehow managed a punch that caught Bunsen completely by surprise on his right lower ribs, causing the mechanic to lean leftwards.

           That’s when he saw it: Charlie’s rusted alternator leftover from the airshow. His fingers found the coiled mass and gripped it tightly with the four fingers of his left hand.

            Allison was walking back from her flight, expecting to meet Whittaker and talk over the details when she saw Bunsen walk out from the hangar, his nose gushing with blood and his hands gripping a bloody piece of plane.

           “It’s done,” Bunsen told her, “Walk away from this.”

The two walked side by side, Bunsen smoking, to the edge of landing strip. The newly installed runway lights were blinking in the late evening, lined up in a row. Bunsen thought they would have come one by one, but instead were shipped to him connected like a string of Christmas lights, having to unwind the coil and bury the wires under a few inches of dirt.

Allison stared back at him.“I’ll be back tomorrow.”
