Water and fertilizer.

Talked to nursery and was told it was damage to the roots from winter frost. No snow cover and snow coming late in year and spring. Have been many complaints in the area Quote "deep snowpack coming later in winter, after the soil is already frozen, can also insulate the soil – but in a...

Yes I used fertilizer spikes on half of them. The soil has lots of moisture. Now just hoping they come around and get another flush of leaves.

Any reason why this year or from what? No spraying in my area. So not drift. Oh well I guess they are only trees. Not sure there is much I can do.

looked close and have not seen any aphids or eggs but will inspect further.

Did not do anything out of the norm. No spraying or rototilling recently before this problem has occurred. I do usually roto till around them but had not since previous year when they were doing great. Trees are about 6 years old, some a lot worse than others. Happening in various areas of the...

Anyone no what is killing my trees? Have about 200+ so don't want to lose them and have a bare yard. Leaves look burnt like frost but we haven't had any. Very small leaves and wilting, trees look bare. Affecting 25% of my trees. Anyone experience this? have talked to a few people with this...

+1 for the teryx4. I have one and works perfect. Lower hp than most new units had me worried when buying, but once driving it moves quite well, it actually surprised me. Shopped them all. Kawi has great built quality and rear seat is huge with short wheelbase.

Shingles look a lot better in my opinion. Tin looks to commercial.

I agree that wouldn't be a smart move. My plan was for someone to come over during the week and run a little warm water into my septic system and cause it to pump to the field a few times over the week.

Its possible that it is partially plugged reducing the usable capacity of the field. However it worked flawless previous to this and all last winter with a lot more water going into the system at certain times. Just thought with all the low temperatures and lack of snow cover it was not...

Seems like my septic field stopped discharging to surface. Not sure whether heating the effluent before going to the field helped or the ground froze there not allowing it to come up. Another question: Will be going away for a week in the near future and wondering if any of you guys get...

Yes I wish. 3 acres in subdivision

Thinking mine may be plugged also attributing to this. Would mine have a distribution box since its using a pump or is it just pvc pipe branched off? Anyone use any septic additives that are marketed to eat the organic sludge in the field. Assuming this is snake oil but guess cheap enough may be...

I was under the assumption that planting trees right next to the drain field would cause the tree roots to intrude the line and plug them off. I have many poplars planted right next to the drain field and sure some may even be right over top. Guess time will tell. Will monitor through out the...

Interesting system. What is the cost on this? Would the ground still not have the potential to freeze or saturate? Or is the effluent discharge deep into the ground with out the worry about it contaminating ground water as it is clean water. edit: see you said it discharges above ground? Dont...

Oh I assumed the county did everything in house, I will have to find out who the permit issuing company is, I am in Alberta now. Guess I should of mentioned and probably attributing but where my field is located the previous owner planted many trees around it. Very stupid I no and sure if its...

I am in Lloydminster Alberta. Looks like my pump doesn't drain anymore back after the initial draining out the weep hole and only pumps once more effluent goes into the liquid side of the tank. I have a tarp over the hole that is wet and with snow cover on top for insulation. The area will...

That is very shallow when the frost line is 7ft. Would think frozen fields would happen often. Is it just continually use from effluent that is suppose to keep them from freezing? Don't understand how these fields can work effectively in winter if the ground all around the field is froze...

Lots of knowledge on this site so looking for some experience or advice. I have an acreage built in 2009 with a septic field supplied by a pump, don't have the field drawings yet but hoping to get them from the county when they open and if they have them on file. I moved in last summer and the...
