Dry them on a chicken wire "table" for good air circulation. Nuts are excellent eating Besides drying the husks and saving them for trap dye, one year I bolled about 20 gallon of husks and water. Skimmed off the husks and boiled that down to a couple gallons of concentrated trap dye. I put it in half gallon mason jars while still hot and it sealed them right up. Some of the darkest best trap dye I ever made. no, they are gross. My parents used to like them, ruined several batches of fudge and homemade maple nut ice cream with them nasty things.

Other than a squirrel, does anything else eat black walnuts. If I put walnuts in my deer corn, will the squirrels take them and leave the corn for the deer?

Be sure to leave the branch collar so the tree can heal the cut properly.

No need to peel or other steps. No need to skim them out. For future years I save fresh walnuts in husks in buckets. They dry fine. To dye traps, just pour in a bucket and boil. FRAC LIVES MATTER

Keeps all the husk bits out of springs. you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Espeically true along their drip lines and if you plant only a couple in an open yard their canopy's get very wide. My rat trapping partner has one tree and this year was the least in a decade, only about 200 nuts. Most years several barrels full. Bryce
