Doesn't make much difference out there, soil doesn't dry out in summer, actually in many places there is no soil, just rock and loonshit [local term for rotting organics] ... debris can be so deep and/or cover the ground so thoroughly that it is physically difficult for the seedling to get a root down ... often they get going but can't establish good anchor roots, so blow over easily ... all of which happens in 'natural' conditions too, just in more spotty fashion ... there is no point in planting much of that out there anyway, as natural re-gen seeds it in so thickly with hemlock and cedar that if you help it along at all you thin out the thickets ... it'll thin itself in most cases, just take longer and won't necessarily favour the more economic species/spacing Leave a second-growth plantation alone for a few hundreds years, and whiz-bang you've got a 'natural'-looking climax forest in all its glory of creative destruction ... unless the glaciers have wiped the slate clean again, in which case i guess we'd have other concerns bmc.v - what do you think about Brilliant, LC ... i absolutely cannot see why it lags so much, when by all indications they will have huge cash flow by mid-summer
