      I am using it to clear rocks from the new planting area and it saved a lot of back breaking labor. I have a good video of it in use if I could post it working.

        A grower in Idaho has planted trees in close proximity that resemble hedgerows. The density of the growth makes harvesting with dogs very difficult.

        T.Mel requires open canopy so it is not recommended.

          So how big do they claim this truffle is?

          If it is 1265 grams/44.7 ounces or 2.79 pounds. It sure does not seem that big sitting next to that egg.

              Ruth,

              I would suggest digging a hole about 4 feet deep with an excavator and looking at your soil profile before ripping deep. You may not need to rip deep if your profile shows no signs of compaction or hardpan that would prevent draining.

                How long did it take for the water to perc through the hole. If it dissipates within a day or two that would be an indication of drainage and would be a good indication.

                  This information is from USDA. Note that it says:

                  “Thus, perishable foods must be kept either in the refrigerator at or below 40 °F, or in the freezer at 0 °F.”

                  Not necessarily an answer but a caveat that implies if kept below 40 degrees it would be okay.

                  KNOWLEDGE ARTICLE
                  Vacuum packaging removes air from food packages. Some pathogenic bacteria, such as Clostridium botulinum which causes the deadly botulism poisoning, prefer low-oxygen environments and reproduce well in vacuum-packaged foods. Thus, perishable foods must be kept either in the refrigerator at or below 40 °F, or in the freezer at 0 °F. Vacuum packaging may extend the storage time of refrigerated foods, dried foods and frozen foods, but it is not a substitute for safely processing perishable foods to be stored at room temperature, such as canning or dehydrating. Use refrigerated, vacuum-packaged meat and poultry within a few days, or by the manufacturer’s recommended use-by date.

                    I was required to file forms and get an importers number with the USDA to import truffles from Croatia.

                    As far as buying truffles to use as inoculant, be advised that it is recommended to verify type of truffles with DNA testing before using as inoculant.
