My son who is 2 just loves picking up acorns. So of course we have about a 5 gallon bucket full of them. I was thinking about taking them out to Ohio (since it is legal) but wanted to know if any of you guys crush them and if so how?

That's a lot of acorn hulls to remove... I don't really see the need to remove the hulls. However, do to disease transmission, moving acorns state to state like that may not be a good idea.

id crush them so there is no chance of them growing in the ground and spreading disease.

 

[CJBS2003]

Acorns don't have to sprout to spread disease...

nuke them in the microwave-would kill disease and won't sprout

Disease yeah the deer might get swine flu...

If Ohio deer eat PA acorns, their racks will instantly shrink.

Here's an idea. Boil them in salt water. Dont crush them just spread them out.

Salted nuts? LOL

 

[Shady]

Sure, they are the rage with the kids these days.

To quote ther great Vince from Shamwow and the slapchop..."Youre gonna love my nuts"

 

[CJBS2003]

Sorry, don't bat on that side of the plate... So keep your nuts to yourelf.

I had a few bushels of them, and just boiled them in salt water, and lightly sprinkled with a little sugar.

Ok got some ideas, but has anyone ever crunched that many? If so how?

 

[deerhunter87]

this is just an idea here not sure if it would work or how well it would, but what about if you have an old blender or food processor or even a yard sale special and fill it up and hit the button not sure if it would be to fine or if it would heat up the machine. It would take a while. But like I said just a thought to through there.

 

[deerhunter87]

or give the little guy a small hammer and let him go to town on them that would crush them and entertain him. two birds one stone.haha
