Yep. Everything has to turn to plastic so those were no longer needed. I miss the cardboard oil cans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hated when photobucket did what they did. I hated loosing a lot of good solid info, from others and not just myself, in the other Q site. I have Facebook and can’t hardly log in without it saying there is suspicious activity on my account (even though everything posted was by me). I do like...

Besides we all know during this time of year they, the deer, are eating acorns on the neighbors property. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is the problem. Nutrient cycling takes a long time to do and those without necessary equipment are left behind depending on choices and methods for planting. Even at that most food plotters can’t believe what natural things need to happen to reach that end game. Most may tell you they have...

Winter wheat and Oats are grasses. I can see where the confusion can come into play. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And we can agree to disagree. But why is it that grasses grow so well in an established plot of clover? N is an vital part of most plants during the growing process. So if one wants to throw out some seeds and let nature take a course, so be it. Personally I like to give the best chance for...

I am on a different approach. You are planting grasses which need N to grow. It can only use what N is in your soils. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is the thing with food plots, they don’t transition well using food plot equipment to real equipment. Just like there are specialized pieces for plotters, actual Ag equipment has specialties as well. Not to mention the many ways it can be set up to work the best with practices used by the...

3 to 4 inches. Seeds will get put in about 2 inches with a large planter. Gives the roots a good zone to start in. The earlier it is planted the better, especially with sandy soils. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have to be careful with manure. It needs to heat up to kill off the weed seeds. Chicken litter is likely the best option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kinda figure that when I saw the OM being at 1%. I don’t have sandy soils so take what I say with a grain of salt. Best to build that OM up over several years so you have the most water retention available. May take a while but it may also change what you plant going forward. Sent from my...

I second using the small seed box for radish and clover. They will mix and flow well from a small seed box. Then you can put the larger seeds where they are more apt to find moisture and the others will just drop on top. You likely have press wheels or drag chains following each row, they will...

First thing to address is the PH, unless it is sandy soil, I forgot to look at that. You need lime badly. Lime will take a while to work so get it down this year to see the benefit next year. I wouldn’t go hog wild with the extra nutrients this year. Maybe put down 30 pounds (actual) of each per...

What did you add for the “Crop” when you did the food plot? N is usually based on the selected crop and other values can change a bit also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks good! Just proof you don’t have to have all the fancy equipment to get great plots! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
