Back to the good ole days with TTWT... Love It ! Congrats to Katriel & her husband. All the best.

.22LR peppermint oil

Congratulations to Katriel. Shes all grown up from the planting days with neighbor Bob.

That's was the perfect job for Little Johnny and very nice of you to go and help out a old neighbor and hopefully you get your trucks back up and running 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good morning Tim. Although I've watched your channel for several years now I've only commented a couple of times but I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed this video today. It was nice seeing you get back to your roots. 😁😁👍 God bless and have a wonderful day.

A backhoe beats the heck out of pick and shovel any day.

Little Johnny is soooo handy. Nice of you to help out an old neighbor Tim. Very enjoyable video.Thanks

The old homestead looks like a retirement home. No pond to deal with, no towers to mow, no truck eating squirrels. With all that "old Man" huffing and puffing, I'm surprised Rick didn't let you at least pick all the roots out of the dirt. Great video Tim and Christy.

Yea, perhaps he just didn't want me messing up any more of the surface. Not sure.

I don't know what your talking about peppermint oil but I know my little 22 would take care of it lol

I never put fert on a new plant until I see new growth on it after it has been planted. Water daily for 30 days.

This was a great video. Rick is hilarious. Treat the squirrels like the mice. Predators are the only way to get rid of the squirrels. A pew pew works also but you have to sit around and wait on them. My dogs chase those squirrels out of my yard everyday kinda funny to watch.

clay targets used in trap/skeet make great markers for hole digging. Laying out fence posts, marking and locating holes for shrubs, bushes and trees. You can lay them out and move them without painting or repainting. They are reusable too

I like it!

I take my Mantis tiller and use it to dig holes for trees and shrubbery that I plant. I dig down 18” or so and shape up the hole with a shovel. The top of my Mantis is below ground level and I shape out the hole twice as wide as the root ball or container. I mix a little bone meal in the fill dirt before I fill it in around the plant/tree.

Tim, I use GreenHealth Peppermint Supreme. I pour it into a spray bottle and spray the underside of the engine bay and on the ground around the tires every two weeks. Prior to that the mice caused $3,000 of wiring damage on my SUV, but none since.

Loving that little hydraulic thumb! I’d like to add it to mine at some point. And that sucks about the trucks. I had mice get in my truck but thankfully they didn’t cause any wire damage. They built a nest in my glovebox out of my owners manual though 🤦🏻‍♂️ They also got in my father’s and started chewing wires. Ended up losing functionality of his USB ports. Just the location of the damage would have meant we’d have to have pulled the whole dash apart to do the repairs.

Plant it high or it will die. Also, we have an ultrasonic /flashing light gadget hooked to the battery that has kept the mice and squirrels away after their first invasion. I would have to remove it to tell you the brand name, but it was purchased by my wife on Amazon. It was recommended by the Subaru dealer and was easy to install.

Wow, I’m sorry that the squirrels invaded your trucks. I have them in my old pole barn and they sure are a pain. If you find a good solution, please share it. Blessings.

Tim, where did your excellent video go that was up last night about your very well reasoned and balanced comments about John Deere trying to destroy itself by pandering to the functional impossibilities of DEI?? So far, it was by far the best video out there on the subject, and now I can’t find it in my history or at your site…

Hello Tim and Kristie, One thing that my wife and I did when we got our house and started landscaping the front yard was to not plant any trees directly under the power line that's in our front yard. We've been here now for 31 years and this year the power company notified us that they were going to trim trees. Anything 15 feet and under will be trimmed or cut down. The power company marked three trees, two to be cut down, and the other one to be trimmed. The tree to be trimmed is closer to the power lines, and the other two were farther away. I tried to contact the power company several times with no luck. The day the cutters came, asked them to cut down the tree that was closer and to trim the other two. The power company contracted the job to a local tree service, and they said they had to go by how the trees were marked. It didn't make sense to me to trim the closest tree and cut down the other two that were farther away. The closer tree was a volunteer that I wasn't able to cut down years earlier. In 2010, I became disabled and tree out grew my abilities. So remember, don't plant anything that will grow taller than 15 feet. Love the videos. Keep up the good work, and God bless.

Havahart trap with sunflower seeds. Relocate squirrels at least 5 miles. Should work.

I had a fence in front of my house in Illinois and it was a pain to mow around it, plus there were 2 trees that were very messy. I planted blue Spruce there and they grew very well. Later on the neighbor sold most of his property and they put in a subdivision. I also went down one side of my property with more blue Spruces. We sold our house and to this day the trees are huge. The problem we tried fighting with the city was the fact our property was across the road which we ended up losing. The owner according to our other neighbors down the road had moved the state pins and if it was in the original place the property line would have been just outside his front door.

Great video!

I use one of Boys axes to get rid of roots, usually my Council Tools Stainless one.

this looks like the work I was doing last week in my back yard except that under all the roots was someone's old trash pile. What a nightmare.

Sounds like your cats are laying down on the job! Our automotive repair shop sees rodent damage nearly every week. Haven't really seen a 100% solution.

Feel for you,They chewed up my wiring three years ago on my Ford. Maybe they think Ford insulation tastes good it’s made from soybeans they stated in one of their training films.

Honda makes a rodent tape that has pepper in it. Expensive but works well just tape up the harness where you need it.

Tim, would an auger worked better if not for the extensive roots. I enjoy your project videos.

Thanks Randy. We enjoyed being back in the old neighborhood.

Apparantly the newer vehicle wiring harness are made with a portion of soybeans.... so now they have a certain flavor or taste that makes them desireable to squirrels and mice.

Any kind of peppermint will help, even part of peppermint plant.

Hi Tim, do you have ground hogs around your house? They are notorious for chewing up wiring in vehicles, something about the ingredients in the insulation they go after.

Tim, don't worry about the John Deere woke stuff. The fact of the matter is we would have to stop using everything that is sold if we worry about agreeing with what the MFG's believe and support. I don't buy anything thinking that it means I am showing support for an idea or belief, I just buy what I want or need, no more or less than that. Great show today by the way.
