Zone 5b/6A seems to depend on the map. I planted several Emerald Aborvitae in a wall formation about 3’ apart and over half of them died. They were 3’ tall when I planted them. If I had the money, I’d just replace the dead ones and try again, but that was a pricey investment for me.

I watered them every day after planting. There are two giant trees about 30 feet away from the closest Avorvitae, so maybe the roots were taking some of the nutrients? Its not like the Aborvitae closest to the big trees were the ones that died, there seemed to be no rhyme or reason for which died and which lived. Now I have a “wall” of short trees where 2/3 are dead.

Greetings bastardites,

I figured someone here might be able to point me in a good direction on learning more about state governments and some resources for running for state government. When searching the web or youtube, I get a lot of information for state reps that go to Washington. I’m wanting to learn more about how our state reps work and how to run for local election. Have any of our friends of Cool Zone pod discussed their experiences running for local rep? I know eventually I need to buckle down and read through some .gov resources, but I was wanting to dip my toes in with some “infotainment”, even if its a dry podcast or video, I can handle that.
