I've been to a lot of hardware stores and discovered that you can no longer buy staples for the old T5 stapler. They now call them T50 and the staples do not fit my old T5, i have a T50 already but my old favorite is now a useless bit of tin and springs. I even looked on Amazon and Bostich's site and they all just go to the T50. Guess i will have to watch auctions and such for ammo for the old T5.

Lol, I lost my shit the other night because Home Depot changed the handles on the orange two gallon pails they sell. I water a couple hundred trees by hand and my pails degraded in the sunshine. Bought new pails and they are just different enough that it feels wrong

There are tanks, hoses, pumps, trailer and totes involved, It's an operation. But short of running 1800ft-long-runs of irrigation lines ($$$$) quad+trailer+buckets is the preferred method for me.
Now, truck, trailer, tank configured to 'drive-by-and-spray' is the 'easiest' way, but the carpet-bomb approach wastes water (15:1) and leads to the next problem: weeds. By selectively watering the 'tree', you avoid feeding the weed.
Besides, I push a desk for a living, my mind is mush by 5pm. The physical labor is a gift. I can water trees and then head off to the shop to count my T5 staples.

Here is a pic of my dad's old swingline 101 I inherited I really like it because of its small size. He has been gone for 20 years and I have used it lots and finally am depleting his supply of staples so will have to get some more I think they might be t5's as well.
