So I noticed yesterday someone complaining the forum should be shut-down due to redundant posts.
On that note, here's a share I'm guessing many won't have seen, though admittedly Triple C shared a bit broader reference to it in a post about M.S.U.'s educational podcasts.
VERY interesting research on a way to cut and turn moderate sized hardwoods into NATURAL mineral stumps, with the well-established root systems pushing new growth of MUCH higher mineral content than with regular leaf growth on saplings or hinge-cut trees. Some of the research even points to trees with general lower preference moving to preferred once turned to a coppiced stump.
First a link to an abbreviated 7 minute video highlighting the research...
And here's a link to a longer 45 minute podcast on the subject.
