Hey guys im looking for a whole heap of tea tree for some camo for the My MaiMai this year
do any of you have some suggestion where I could possible source from I don't mind doing the hard yards and cutting it down
or helping a farmer clear tracks that are over grown and so forth.
If prepared to travel to the Kaimai's 14 km out of Te Aroha you can slash and cart to your hearts content.
Klondyke road used to be covered in the stuff
Wicked will keep that in mind :) thank you
with manuka honey going for up to $20k a pottle (I shit you not) you could well be better off to target broom.
Kanuka looks the same to ducks and aint worth shit on the honey market...and it is not in flower, so no bees.
I used to do that,browns off pretty quick and sticks out in my opinion ,got a few camo nets now much easier.
And while you are up there you can play "Spot The Logging Trucks On The Narrow Roads". :)Quote:

I Usually put a first layer on a little closer to opening but the maimai usually has some greenery growing over it year round anyway or else it sticks out a bit much if in amongst other greenery brush manuka is good for breaking up silhouette, but browns off pretty quickly in the heat - 1 month out is my usual with also Camo nets over the frontage whilst a final layer coming in at 2-3 weeks out as a final green cover layer.
Feeders leading up to the time from now to opening probably are of more value keeping residents around and with a home base and a nice feeding apron for them to forage and feed on... they are bloody good at spotting kibbled maize from the air and their own well worn tracks to the water- as you'd expect.
Sent you contact details..
