The weather here has been great for starting the "liberation" of our old apple trees from encroaching viburnam and honeysuckle. Since there's been so much discussion about toothbars recently, I thought I'd post a few pics of mine in action.

Thanks for the great pictures. Looks like you have your work cut out for you. The soil looks drier than I would have expected for your neck of the woods. Have you had much moisture lately? Is your soil sandy or do you have any clay?

Bonehead, a Sunday ago we had about a foot of the wettest, heaviest snow we've had this season. It was mostly gone two days later. I had hoped to begin this project a little earlier, but the soil's still got enough moisture in it to make this go pretty smoothly.

We've done a lot of digging around our place and the soils we're working in now are some of the best we've got (too bad there isn't more of that right around the house)--pretty loamy. There is a LOT of seeps and clays around these hills. In fact one of my next projects is putting in some subsurface drain pipe to help the water move off a little more quickly.

By the way, great looking dog you've got there!

44trxfun, thanks for the compliment on my dog. Unfortunately, I had to put him down 2 years ago but he is in my thoughts (and posts) everyday. As a matter of fact my family celebrated his birthday yesterday. Some people might think that is a little strange but he was just like a child to me.

By the way, is that a Newfounland in your picture?
