Ours are doing that this year... White oak and burr oak. And this helped us learn our new dog likes the taste of acorns. <sigh> Which means acorn-y poop and us having to constantly try to stop him from eating everything on the ground.
I'm really looking forward to a not-mast year. And looking into how I might be able to vacuum these up.
- hinkley 3y agoThere's a device that is a wire ball on a stick. Looks a bit like a bingo ball cage. The idea is that you roll the ball over the acorns, the pressure pushes the wires apart and the acorn pops into the ball, and then doesn't have enough force to exit again.
- c0nsumer 3y agoThanks, this is a good idea. I'll give that a look.
