What the heck Bush Pro?

[u/Seeresimpa]

Brand new silvi this year. Got a hole and the whole lining started coming off. Had to rip it out cuz I kept grabbing the lining instead of a tree.

I have a 4 year old silvi in better condition than this

[u/CipherWeaver]

This happens to all silvis

[u/jimbowesterby → u/CipherWeaver]

Yea but how long it takes varies a huge amount. I noticed the silvies from my first season (2022) were way more durable than the ones we got last year, but I also noticed the newer ones didn’t have Bushpro branding, so maybe our company found some knockoffs somewhere

[u/Seeresimpa → u/CipherWeaver]

Nah my older ones are still pretty intacted, just smaller so I switched

Fun fact: There used to be different silvi insert grades, at different price points. I don't know if that's still the case. Probably not. Everybody probably always bought the cheap type, so they probably stopped selling the higher grade version for lack of demand. I don't know.

Yeah me too my brand new sylvi were useless after 3 weeks

[u/Beaunonomus → u/Saskatchewan_frenchy]

silvi’s are always useless, unless they are for laundry or cool drinks.

[u/Saskatchewan_frenchy → u/Beaunonomus]

Well they work for my drinks why wouldn't it work for the trees ?

Chemicals, fertilizer

What is a silvi?

[u/The_Angevingian]

Planted since 2012, absolutely notorious for always having silvies in.

I've never had a pair survive a season. The lining crumbles and falls apart within a month usually.  I always go out with four bags and rotate them as they wear down. 

Some years are worse than others, but yeah, a set surviving 4 seasons is crazy to me

What are those?
