How long for pine roots to die so I can plant another tree?
Comments (7)with most conifers... once all the green is cut off .. the trunk and roots are technically dead ... there are no dormant buds, so there is little chance it will regrow ... how long will it take to rot .. well ... in my dry sand.. forever .... in moister soil.. shorter .. and BTW.. enjoy the mushroom show that is on its way as they rot ... it is hard work .. but you shouldn't have all that hard a time digging some new holes for trees .... especially if you move 10 to 15 feet from the stumps .... and if you cant handle it.. hire a couple of strapping young men to go at a couple holes .... sometimes its easier to pay .. lol ... sharpen your shovel ... get a good tree saw ... and some pruning shears .....and just start digging ... and if you run across a giant root... shift the hole over a bit and keep going ... until you have a decent sized hole ... a lot of the bigboxstores get in fresh stock in the fall ... DO NOT BUY STOCK THAT HAS BEEN SITTING THERE ALL SUMMER .... buy them now.. leave them in the shade in the pots.. until about October or so ... i do this in my zone 5.. i think you can still do it in zone 6 in fall .... and plant them once they lose their leaves... untangle the bigger roots in the pot ... spread them out.. water it well through thanksgiving.. water deeply ... into the rootball .. when ever your finger inserted 3 to 6 inches indicates it is dry ..and then water it deeply all next summer.. and they should take off like rockets.. in the alternative.. do it in April, as soon as the soil thaws .... and stock is available .. add 3 to 4 inches of good mulch ... speaking of which .. do NOT let them take away the wood chips from those pines.. free mulch for your new trees ... the trunks are poor firewood .. and not worth using indoors ... but if you like campfires... keep that also ... good luck ken...See MoreAn Interesting Read....(Long, but worth it)
Comments (8)Only a few centuries ago - world population was 1 billion. Only a couple of centuries ago, I think - world population was 2 billion. Now ... world population is 6 billion, or 6.5 billion ... some say 7 billion (or almost that many). We'll soon need that land to grow food. Extended suburbs are hugely costly, in terms of the costs per residence of running power lines ... water lines ... sewer lines. And of maintaining them (which, in many jurisdictions, is low priority, not being very glamorous, as soon-to-be-running-for-election politicians prefer to have their pictures taken with some new project to laying out the funds to upgrade the sewers). How have we lived so long on the earth and learned so little? ole joyful...See MoreFort Worth Autumn swap Forest Park October 21st 2017

Comments (29)A normal root canal may take a week or less, but in your case, I fear it will be longer. You are having pain and the nerve in the tooth is dead. Also dead are the blood vessels and chamber pulp. You are having pain because the tooth and probably its support structure are infected. The time required to open the tooth and clean it out, and then plug isn't much. The problem is this: The Dentist does not dare to put a permanent plug in that tooth until the infection has been conquered. How much time does that take - who knows, but its got to be done. Here's the drill. [Sorry about that choice of word :-) ]. The tooth is opened and cleaned out. An antibiotic may be inserted in the tooth. A temporary plug is installed and a pill form of antibiotic may be prescribed. Another session will be scheduled for exam. Followup sessions will continue until the infection has cleared and then the job will be completed with a permanent plug and filling. After completion, another followup may be recommended to insure that the infection is gone. An infection complicates a root canal. The root canal itself, does not require a lot of time. There is an upside. After successful completion, you will feel much better, and the tooth will seem normal....See Moretrekaren
