I suggest contacting Etherington Conservation Services in Greensboro. They may have some techniques you can use or can refer you to someone else. Plus, they are close by. I don't have an email but here is their mailing address and phone: 6204 Corporate Park Drive Browns Summit, NC 27214 800-444-7534
