I put the black walnuts in a wire fish basket, drop traps into boiling pot, set basket in pot on top of traps. Keeps all the husk bits out of springs. It doesn't seem like they are as popular for trap dye as they used to be

I have never used anything but walnuts and sumac. Just started adding the sumac when I read I needed dto on here a Few years ago. Does store bought stuff do a better job or last longer I have no experience with it? I have dyed traps using logwood and walnuts. One is no better or longer lasting than the other.

We have black walnuts and English walnuts in our yard. Don't plant them where the limbs will be above a driveway, sidewalk, shed, or your house. You'll be littered with nuts on everything. But in an open area, they're great. They do kill anything within 6' of the trunk - easier to mow around.
I very much prefer the English walnuts to the black walnuts. Milder taste, much, much easier to get the meat out. The fight with black walnuts to end up with little crumbled pieces of nut isn't worth it to me. After struggling with black walnuts, the English walnuts don't seem so difficult.

I wish we had English walnuts. 2x. I have a lot of black zero English. I should probably plant some English and some pecan.
