Wintergreen vendors offer the latest in gardening and landscaping technology
By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

Vendors at the annual Wintergreen trade show pitched new

products with new technology and design that promised to reduce

labor costs, save time and be environmentally friendly.

Landscapers, lawn services and nurseries, like other businesses,

are looking for ways to maximize their labor resources this year.

Several vendors also demonstrated new products during the Win-

tergreen trade show in June that were either reusable or decompos-

able to address consumers' growing awareness of protecting the

environment.

Van Donohue demonstrated the Carta measuring wheel from

his company, Plott. At first glance, Carta looks like any other

measuring wheel, but as Donohue slipped his smartphone into the

holder mounted on the handles, he described it as "a measuring

wheel on steroids."

Carta is connected to a smartphone app and uses Bluetooth

connectivity. The wheel measured the path Donohue pushed along

the floor, then calculated the perimeter and square footage of the

area.

See WINTERGREEN VENDORS, page 14

Van Donohue demonstrates Carta, a measuring wheel device, during the Wintergreen trade show in June in Duluth. Manufactured by Plott, Carta connects to an app on a smartphone and can calculate perimeter and square footage instantly. The device can also calculate the amount of materials needed. It can also store plans on the fly and share them as CAD, jpeg or pdf files. Plott introduced Carta in January. (Jay Jones/GDA)

Forestry Matters: Now is the time to order seedlings for cool season planting

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
September is seedling season! As summer morphs into fall, landowners get their planting plans firmed up and the Georgia Forestry Commission is the perfect partner for doing just that.
The GFC's online F O R E S T R Y seedling store (gaseedM A T T E R S lings.org) opened in July,
and seedlings will be delivered December through February. While some species are in short supply, many remain available to be plugged into the soil during the cool winter months. Genetically improved pines are the hallmark of the seedling store, and a wide assortment of hardwoods is available as well.
After two challenging years for tree planting, things are rebounding strongly. Seedling sales for Southern forest seedling nurseries is stronger. We are hearing that some nurseries in the state and region are sold out of pine seedlings, and others have a limited supply. Now is the time to get your order in

to the GFC. The GFC's Reforestation Program is a
member in two tree genetics cooperatives, and one nursery management cooperative. Our involvement in these breeding and testing programs has given us access to the best open-pollenated germplasm available to landowners. These seedlings are grown at our nursery and available to you. In fact, the regional breeding center, where the majority of the 5th cycle selections will be bred, is housed at our Arrowhead Seed Orchard in Cochran. We can provide performance rating sheets for loblolly pine or grade sheets for slash pine, so you can see how these selections stack up in the marketplace.
Hardwoods are always sought after for their varied features and benefits. Those include their attraction for wildlife, their production of nuts and fruits, and their amazing beauty.
All of the hardwood seedlings available through the Georgia Forestry Commission benefit wildlife in some form or fashion. Some of our seedlings provide homes and cover, but the oak seedlings, such as white oak, Northern red oak, and swamp chestnut oak provide food for wildlife from acorn production. These seedlings on average take

at least 10 years before a reliable food source is established, but once it's established the benefits are realized every year.
In the long run, this is much more economical than planting a food plot or putting out other food. If you're looking for early acorn production, our sawtooth oak seedlings can produce in as few as five years. We also have a sawtooth oak that is suitable for turkeys, called the Gobbler Sawtooth. Soft mast seedlings such as persimmon and crabapple generally produce earlier than acorn producers. These seedlings are grown to a large size in the nursery for one year, in order to outgrow the competing vegetation. If a hardwood seedling is grown in a well-managed site, the first five years of growth can be shockingly fast.
Fruit-bearing, flowering, and ornamental species are also very popular choices. Who wouldn't want a spectacular yellow poplar showing its brilliant gold hues on their property every fall? White oak, bald cypress, and catalpa are just a few others that will provide years of beauty to Georgia landscapes.
Here's more good news on the seedling front: The GFC is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 1.5 million seed-

lings across the state during the 2022-23 season. Non-industrial private landowners with 10 or more acres are eligible for the $210,000 seedling program that's expected to cover about 2,500 acres. For full details, visit gatrees.org.

Good To Grow: Master gardeners offer free peer advice on all things horticultural

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
The master gardener program through the University of Georgia Extension Service connects homeowners with free information on gardens, landscapes and plants.
The program also connects people who have a genuine interest in gardening. Michael Snow became a master gardener when he retired from work as a loan underwriter. Snow said he enjoys helping people, and his own garden has benefited.
"One of the things I like most about it is that everyone is willing to help you with a problem," said Snow, a member of the North Fulton Master Gardeners. "They have a good attitude, in terms of if you say, `I've got this,' they would say, `Well, have you tried this?' or `Next time, you may want to do this.'"
Wanting to help could be the slogan for the master gardeners. Sheri Dorn, the statewide coordinator of the master gardener program for the UGA Extension Service, said people who join might start with different gardening skills. The key trait is wanting to help.
"Primarily, we're looking for a willingness to volunteer because that is the heart of the master gardener program," Dorn said.
Anyone with interest in gardening can apply to join the program. Costs vary from county to county but start with $95 for the master gardener manual.
Applicants go through a training period that equates to taking a semester-long college course. The training covers basic horticulture and related sciences. Dorn said the training also covers entomology and pathology to know the insects and diseases affecting gardens, lawns, fruits, and vegetables.
"We do test you, and that scares a lot of people because it might have been a while since they had been in a classroom," Dorn said. "But we just need to know if you have a good hold of this material because you're going to be representing the university answering questions, so that's a big deal."
After passing the test, applicants are considered apprentices and must volunteer for 50 hours in their first year before getting certified as a master gardener. After the first year,

Lowndes County Master Gardener Ann Barbas helps a student tend to the school garden at Westside Elementary in Valdosta. The master gardener program is part of the University of Georgia Extension Service. Residents can apply for training to be certified as a master gardener and volunteer their time helping residents with garden and lawn issues and community projects. (Special Photo)
they test annually to recertify, and the volunteer requirement drops to 25 hours.
However, most master gardeners do more. Marylysa Raye-Jacobus has been a master gardener since 1996. She is also a member of the North Fulton Master Gar-

deners and has served in almost every role, from club president to working in one of the public gardens they maintain.
Raye-Jacobus worked in the horticulture industry, designing gardens. She said volunteering is essential to her in the master gardener program. She said volunteering has been a part of her life since she was in the Girl Scouts. "It's just part of my DNA," she said. "I truly, truly feel like I get more than what I give, and I think that is the crux of a volunteer," Raye-Jacobus said.
She gave an example of tutoring at her church, where she worked one-on-one with children and helped them with their reading. "That's the prime example of receiving more than what you feel like you're giving. To see a child who finally is able to read, and, you know, the light bulb goes off. Well, the same thing is true for teaching people about gardening."
Snow said he was attracted to the program to learn more. "Most of my training goes back to reading the labels on seed packets at Home Depot on how to do things, and there's a lot of books out there, but I didn't prevail myself to reading all of them," he said. "Essentially, I had no formal training in gardening, and I thought this was the place to do it."
Snow said since becoming a master gardener, he has conducted classes for adults and children and has even done an online video on lawn care.
Dorn said master gardeners across the state have many different community service projects throughout the year. Local volunteers help school gardens for teaching, community demonstration gardens and attend local farmers' markets to sell plants and offer advice.
The larger programs offer classes and hold garden tours. The North Fulton Master Gardeners produce instructional videos they post on their YouTube channel.
The latest master gardeners project collaborates with the Veterans Administration hospital in Atlanta. Dorn said master gardeners are developing a curriculum for a program called "Project Grow" that hospital staff can teach to patients coming out of treatment.
There are about 2,500 active master gardeners in Georgia. They are available to help statewide either by calling your county extension office or logging into the extension website, https://extension.uga.edu/.

Training prepares Georgians to be first detectors of invasive species

By Maria M. Lameiras
University of Georgia
College of Agricultural and Environ-
mental Sciences
Georgia First Detectors training will highlight important species of concern in Georgia and those that have been found in surrounding states, including the Argentine black and white tegu.
The University of Georgia's Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health offers a unique opportunity for anyone interested in helping to preserve the state's native ecology with its Georgia First Detectors Program.
The next training for the program will be held at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge on Sept. 30 and will cover information on how to identify, report and manage a range of invasive insects, plants and diseases that could impact Georgia's natural spaces.
The free training will be led by Triston Hansford, an invasive species and ecology specialist with the Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health, a joint program of the UGA College of Agricultural and Environ-

mental Sciences and the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources on the UGA Tifton campus.
Speakers for the day-long event will include professionals from UGA, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the Georgia Forestry Commission, among others.
While the event is popular among members of the Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Program, Hansford said the training is open to anyone with a desire to help protect native ecosystems and fight invasive species in Georgia.
"The goal is to train people into helping with the early detection of invasive species in the state of Georgia. We teach them what they are and how to look for them so, while people are out and about, they can identify invasive species and report them," Hansford said. "This helps us to have a better idea of the distribution of these species in the state. We hope through becoming Georgia First Detectors, our attendees will be better prepared to identify new infestations and new species within our state, should they occur."

The first training of 2022 was offered in Alapaha, and there are plans to hold future trainings in various locations around the state with a focus on species likely to be found in specific regions.
"We will be comparing certain invasive species with their native lookalikes and showing how to identify between them to distinguish native species from invasive species," Hansford said. "Most invasive species share certain qualities, and we teach how to recognize something that isn't native, identify what it is and determine if it is spreading in that area."
While the training does not cover all invasive species in Georgia, it will highlight important species of concern in Georgia and those that have been found in surrounding states. Species that have been covered include Asian longhorned beetle, zebra mussels and Argentine black and white tegus.
"The point of this training is to familiarize people with some of those things that pose a major threat to native ecosystems. We talk about plants, insects, other invertebrates, wildlife and diseases," Hansford added.

Preparation for the course is as simple as bringing an interest in helping protect native ecosystems and downloading the EDDMapS (Early Detection and Distributions Mapping System) app on a smart device and registering for an EDDMapS account. Participants will be trained how to use the EDDMapS and practice using it during the training.
Each participant who finishes the full-day course will earn a Georgia First Detector Certificate and Master Gardener participants can earn advanced training credit for attending. The course will also count toward Continuing Forestry Education credits.
While the program is free of charge, registration is required as the training is limited to 25 participants. Visit the registration site at www.eventbrite.com/e/okefenokee-first-detector-training-registration-390627596657 for more information and to sign up.

Wintergreen Vendors: Technology, manufacturing favor a cleaner environment, healthier plants
Continued From Page 1

The Carta app can then take that data and determine the quantity of materials needed based on the depth required for planting or sodding. Donohue typed in 2 inches planting depth, and the app returned the unit measurement of whatever material was needed.
"What would take (gardeners) an enormous amount of geometry, trig and math to figure out is done for them right here," Donohue said.
Donohue added that the app could store measurements of each project and share them in different formats, from CAD to PDF to JPG.
The selling point Donohue offered for the Carta is the speed of booking more projects, precision to avoid over-purchasing supplies and the gee-whiz factor with customers.
"You use this technology, and customers will be impressed," Donohue said.
Plott has similar measuring products for home contractors and consumers. The Carta is the company's first product for landscapers and was introduced in January.
Jim Duggan of Rootmaker showed off

planting pods and root balls that are less techy than the Carta but promised healthier plants by encouraging root growth and more success in transplanting.
Carl Whitcomb, an Oklahoma State professor and expert on plant root systems, developed the Rootmaker system in the 1960s. The Rootmaker company was founded in 2000 and sells plant containers primarily for trees and large shrubs to nurseries and consumers.
Some containers Duggan displayed at Wintergreen were for seedling propagation and were triangular with ridges. Other containers are larger for saplings and include the same ridges and holes.
Duggan explained that the idea for the system allows for "air pruning" as the roots jut out from the container. The ridges provide angles to prevent circular root growth that can hinder plants after transplanting.
Duggan touted the durability of the containers, which can be reused again and again. "People look at these more like tools than pots," he said.
"People will grow plants in this, and they

use it for 10, 20, or 30 years, so the environmental impact of this compared to other pots is huge because only about two-to-three percent of (plastic pots) is ever recycled. It all goes in the landfill," Duggan said.
The company also displayed new "green" containers that are 100 percent biodegradable. Duggan explained that single-use plastic containers are "becoming the new cigarette" in terms of being phased out of use. Duggan said bioplastics remain expensive to develop into commercially viable planters, but the technology is getting closer to replacing traditional plastics used in nurseries.
"We have samples coming in of a brand new cellulose composite product that will be as cheap as single-use plastic and be biodegradable, and depending on the situation, you can plant it in the ground and let it go," he said.
Wire tree baskets are familiar sights in any landscaping project, but Chad Barfield of NYP Corp. explained there is room for improvement. He demonstrated his company's Diamond Tree Basket.

He admitted that wire tree baskets "are nothing too exciting, really," but the product looks to make packaged trees easier for nurseries to transport and landscapers to plant.
The Diamond Tree Basket is a single piece of wire laced in a pattern that cradles the root ball. The basket is tightened at the top with a rope pulling all corners like a lady's corset.
Barfield noted that traditional wire tree baskets are metal loops butt-welded together that could lead to breaking as they are tightened. The Diamond basket tightens together with one or two crimps versus several more with the loop baskets.
"You lace it up at the top, and then with any slack, you crimp the wire with a tool, like a pigtail," Barfield said.
Each manufacturer offers product details, video demos and other information about their products. To learn more, go to www.letsplott.com for the Carta measuring wheel, www.rootmaker.com for the Rootmaker planter system and www.nyp-corp. com for the Diamond Tree Basket.

Donations, appropriation will fund restoration of `The Big Peanut' monument in Southwest Georgia

ASHBURN A $55,000 appropriation in the Fiscal Year 2023 Marketing and Promotion Budget of the Georgia Department of Agriculture will help fund replacement of Georgia's National Peanut Monument, known affectionately around the state as "The Big Peanut."
The Big Peanut was a casualty of Hurricane Michael, which caused $2.5 billion worth of agricultural damage to Georgia in October 2018. State Sen. Carden Summers, R-Cordele, a member of the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee, assisted Turner County Commissioner and Interim County Manager Nick Denham in securing the General Assembly's support of the appropriation to help with restoration of the monument.
"This effort has been a while in the making, but now thanks to the Department of Agriculture we are one step closer to finishing this thing," said Denham.
The Big Peanut's restoration is estimated to cost between

$75,000 and $85,000. The Turner County Young Farmers and the Ashburn Turner County Chamber of Commerce have also raised funds for the project.
"Folks want it back up, that's for sure. We have had people make donations to the restoration in lieu of flowers at funerals," said Ashley Miller, executive director of the chamber.
The chamber's board of directors earmarked $15,000 of its tourism fund toward restoration, and the Young Farmers held a GoFundMe campaign that raised about $12,000, Miller said. She said the monument serves not only as a landmark for Ashburn, but also as a dedication to the state's farmers, who provide the backbone of Southwest Georgia's local economy.
"Agriculture touches every part of our life here," said Miller. "Nick (Denham) is a farmer too, so I think that's why he's so passionate about getting it back. He knows it means something."

The Big Peanut, a familiar landmark to travelers on Interstate 75 in Ashburn, was destroyed by Hurricane Michael in 2018. Community donations and an appropriation from the General Assembly will help restore the monument. (Special Photos)

Georgie's Drive Thru Hawkinsville
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel thru Georgia promoting the Peach State's No. 1 industry, agriculture! When I was touring the Broxton Rocks with Jim Cottingham, he told me about a redwood tree growing in Hawkinsville. As it turns out, a coast redwood tree has been growing beside Broad Street since 1890. At that time, one of the townspeople, Mrs. Lea Watson Walker, requested native trees from several western states to plant in her yard and received two redwoods. Only one of the trees has survived because the weather here is different than California where redwoods normally grow. Georgia's climate is colder in the winter and hotter in the summer. When Eschol and Berta Mae Wright bought a house in town in the 1960s, the redwood tree growing in the yard probably wasn't a selling feature the previous owner chose to advertise. Only after the family moved in did they find out about the special tree in their yard. Over the years, the local high school's forestry class made lots of visits to this rare specimen. In 2014, Mrs. Wright deeded the tree to the city for safe keeping. The tree can be seen across the street from Tom and Sandy's Restaurant.

Madison saddle club invites riders to participate in fall events

The Kel-Mac Saddle Club is hosting two fall shows this year, on Sept. 17 and Oct. 8 at the Morgan County Agricultural Center. Classes include hunter, equitation, western pleasure, gaited, trail obstacles, halter/horsemanship and costume contest (October show.)
New classes of ranch reining and ranch riding have been added. Also new this year are redesigned jumps and a new course design for the hunter classes. Find the revised Show Sheet at Kel-mac.com or at your favorite feed store. General admission is free and concessions are available.
The club will also host a "Come Ride With Us" trail ride event on Oct. 22 at Heritage Park in Watkinsville. After the

ride, lunch will be provided by the club. Celebrating 46 years, Kel-Mac Saddle Club has donated
more than $158,000 back to the community. Past recipients have included the Sheriff's Empty Stocking Fund, The Georgia Equine Rescue League, the Calvin Center's Horses & Warriors program, the Barbara Cumming Memorial Scholarship and the equestrian facilities of state and county parks such as A. H. Stephens, Hard Labor Creek, Don Carter, Watson Mill Bridge and Heritage Park.

Shut the front door! Do you live in a barn?
`Barndominiums' are growing in popularity in Georgia

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
People are bringing a little bit of country inside with a new trend of barndominiums, metal structures typically built for barns but designed to be lived in.
Barndominiums are not new. They have been popular in Texas and the Midwest for years, and builders in Georgia said they have seen more people asking for them here. Wes Chandler, a builder who operates as A Carpenter's Son in Pike County, said he received more calls than he ever had after posting a YouTube video showing a barn he converted into a residence last year.
Chandler builds pole barns and enclosed barns, but now, he also does barndominiums and shophouses, metal buildings that include a residence and a garage under one roof.
"For people who own a lot of stuff, it makes it easier to fortify it all," Chandler said. "You sleep in that building at night, so you'll hear if anybody breaks in doors, walks off with your stuff, or is cranking up your tractors on the back 40."
Jeanne Dufort, a real estate agent based in Morgan County, has sold several barndominiums in northeast Georgia and the Lake Country. She said style is another draw for people.
"I think we're still in an open floor plan kind of an environment. Trends move around. Old-fashioned homes were all very closedoff rooms with center hallways," Dufort said. "I'm in Madison, so we have lots of historic homes, but for quite a while now, the trend has been open floor plans and high ceilings, so from just an aesthetic standpoint, barndominiums can be that way."
Dufort noted one challenge with barndominiums is getting enough light to the center of the building. "That's because they tend to be, you know, X feet long and X feet wide with windows on the sides and edges," she said.
However, the appeal is cost. Many people see that it is less expensive to build a met-

al building on a concrete slab than a woodframed house.
Dufort said the cost had been a consideration for her clients given the recent lumber price increases attributed to COVID-19 pandemic disruptions. She said most people she worked with had horses and were looking for an inexpensive and quick way to get on the land. They buy metal structures that double as a stable with small living quarters, intending to build a larger home later.
Chandler said metal buildings are cheaper to build, but those costs rise if you plan to live in one.
"Where people are a little bit misconstrued is that they think, `Oh, I can build a barn and live in it and save a ton of money because barns are cheaper than houses,'" Chandler said. "That's true if you don't want insulation and things up to code."
Chandler said he could build an enclosed

metal building with a concrete floor for about $25 per square foot, a shell insulated and ready for plumbing and wiring. Chandler explained he would build the frame, then connect the buyer with local contractors to finish the job.
A completed wood-frame house will cost from $100 to $169 per square foot depending on the location in Georgia, according to HomeAdvisor, an online service connecting homeowners with contractors.
Local building codes and zoning ordinances also can affect the cost. Barndominiums have been popular in Georgia for a few years, and local governments are trying to catch up.
Dufort said some barndominiums that are being permitted are designed from the beginning to be residential. She said the dual-purpose buildings are seeing more scrutiny from local authorities.

"Georgia has 159 counties, and we have 159 different sets of people who oversee building permits, so I am seeing some pushback for converting these lower quality, meant-to-be-a-shop kind of buildings into houses."
Chandler agreed each county is different. Larger counties are less friendly to shophouses or barndominiums. He explained the barndominium in his YouTube video was done in sections and over time. He said the requirements of a county planning department make those kinds of builds less likely to happen.
"There was a time when you could build a little and add on to it, and that was a way to save money on building a house," Chandler said. "Nowadays, counties, especially the metro counties, want a complete set of plans, everything you're going to do, and they want it all done before you get a CO (certificate of occupancy) on it."
Scotty Lariscy, the owner of MetalCon Custom Buildings in Screven County, agreed. He builds metal buildings in southeast Georgia and explained local requirements vary widely from county to county.
"Some places don't encourage it, and some places are easy to work with," Lariscy said. "With some people, you can get your permit for just a metal building, and they don't care what you do with it. In other counties, it has to be permitted and coded just like a residential house."
Dufort advised that anyone interested in barndominiums or shophouses do some homework. Cities and suburbs may have stricter building codes than rural areas. She recommended first talking with county planners to know what to expect with permitting and getting a local lender who knows the area.
"You need to get your team together, especially with a local lender. They will know what they are talking about, and they will not say yes, only to find out later an underwriter didn't like it," Dufort said.

Green Industry: COVID-19 pandemic grows appreciation for gardening, working outdoors

Continued From Page 1

as housing increases and the nation continues to recover from the pandemic. He noted that overall economy rates, the U.S. gross domestic product and Georgia's gross state product were good indicators for the green industry, and both were expected to increase from 2021.
However, as Gainous and Wright stated, inflation fears, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and the perception of a weaker economy would impact the green industry. For that reason, Campbell projected green industry sales this year to be similar to 2021 levels.
Shelly Prescott, assistant director of grounds at the University of Georgia and incoming GGIA chairman, saw labor as a key for the green industry. Demand is strong, but landscapers and nurseries are having a hard time hiring people to meet that demand.
"Every industry is facing it right now. Evidently, our industry has been affected significantly because it is hard labor work, and not everybody wants to do it," Prescott said.
But overall, Prescott said he is hopeful for the future. He said the one good thing to come from the

Debbie Lemon, center, of Wagon Hammock Nursery in Lyons, gives out free samples of Georgia-grown oil olive during the Georgia Green Industry Association's annual Wintergreen conference and tradeshow in June. Typically held in January, organizers postponed the event due to COVID concerns. (Jay Jones/GDA)

pandemic was that many homeowners discovered the benefits of starting gardens and working outdoors. He believes those new gardening and landscaping habits will stick.
"That was positive because people started staying at home, they couldn't go to work, and they started working in the yard, they started growing vegetables," Prescott said. "That has continued as some people are working from home at least part-time, so they are still outside doing stuff, and they're buying plants."
Gainous is also hopeful. He said that despite the smaller profit margins this year, the market is strong, and he can see a future for his son in the business.
"It's hard work, but it's rewarding. The money is not always there where you want it to be, but it's a good business," Gainous said. "With all these people in here, we all have something in common. We like green plants, and we're all good people."
The GGIA serves the green industry in Georgia with legislature monitoring, education programs, trade shows and certification exams. For more information, go to www.ggia.org.
