    Plant analysis test

    I was just curious if anyone has ever done a plant analysis on their apple trees? I had a row of trees tested last year by the UW Soils Lab and this is the result. They are kind of throwing me for a loop trying to decide what I need to do this spring to amend the soil. So if you have any...

    Rooting root stock cuttings

    I read on the NAFEX facebook page that someone was taking the cuttings from their root stock when they grafted, and planting them. The were getting about 65% to root. I wish I would have thought about that before I grafted, I would have saved them and tried it. Have any of you tried this...

    Goldrush apple hardiness

    Has anyone had problems with goldrush apple not being winter hardy? I planted 5 last spring on B118 rootstock and they all seemed to have winter killed. They were some of the fastest growers I had but none of them made it this year. They are in different locations too. Has anyone else seen this?

    Anyone ever overseed brassicas into a sprayed white clover plot?

    I have a few plots that are 3 year old established alsike white clover. They were just mowed this past weekend and are a little wet to disc. I was wondering if anyone has had success spraying with gly and over-seeding with brassicas? I am thinking of seeding, fertilizing and spraying the same...

    Fertilizer Rate Calculator

    I thought this one is pretty good. It allows you to enter the acreage and additional fertilizers that may be available. I thought it might be helpful to some. http://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/
