I've done some research on keeping tanks from freezing, but this is the first I've heard the manure angle!

11hrs after digging a hole and filling the tank there's use. It's 21 degrees right now, supposed to get in the teens tonight. Curious if it will stay open or freeze.

Anyone put mineral in the water, or make a mineral lick next to one of your tubs?

Exactly what I see; milo goes quickly once they start to like it, and plant something with it.

Tons of crappie and a few nice bass today.

Put in a water tank today. A first for me. I've dug holes before but never a tank.

What did OK do to screw you guys? And I can say without a doubt any time you head east it's appreciated!

Hard to grow in existing clover. Wheat, rye, and overseeded clover seem to work. You can grow great interspecie crops by planting your clover and milo together (at the same time). I know that doesn't put something in your clover plot, but it is a way to do it and with how cheap clover seed...

To the right is a clump of switch that a transplanted via shovel, and some Sawtooths still holding leafs. All great cover and easy.

"Newt" the variety?

That's a bummer. Did he spray the hedge that he cut? If not they'll come back from root pretty quick. You could add rows or patches of switch or miscanthus. I find cover where there is no cover doesn't have to be huge. Just a clump of 5ft tall grass every 50 to 100 feet might do wonders...

Why?

Deer absolutely love dead hedge leafs in my area. They spend a ton of time under hedge trees every yr vacuuming the leafs up. Fawns eat the hedge apples early in the fall, adults later in the season. From watching I believe they are after the seeds. Do an internet search. If I remember...

Lol, I clicked on this thread wondering what kind of fruit a Gingrich was.

Get good burns, but I worry about control (or I should say out of control) and wind.
