My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Use of dormant oil?

13 years ago

I am new to most things JM but in my 'research' I have come across references to using dormant oil in the spring and fall.

I have sprayed fruit trees with such but I had not considered doing similarly with maples. How widespread is this practice?
