I have a plot I need to redo. It's been planted in clover/rye, but weeds have gotten the upper hand and I'm going to do something with it this fall. I've thought about switching things up and planting this one to all turnips/radishes. I have some other clover/WR plots not very far away. This...

I have a source for free pallets. I'm planning on planting some fruit trees on my place this spring and am considering using the pallets for cages/protection. Any reason to not use them over wire cages? Thanks in advance.

This weekend was the youth firearms deer hunt in Indiana. After Oldest’s basketball games on Friday, we (Super K; our youngest, and I as well) made the trip down to the cabin in southern Indiana. Got it late and up early, but the boys were painted up and ready to prior to day light! Untitled...

I'm heading to the cabin this weekend and was hoping to plant a screening plot of sorghum/millet/sunflower. It's on newly turned ground. It's been disked and later sprayed, so it's pretty clean. The plan was to light disc it, spread the seed/fertilizer, and then cultipack. If I can come up...

I have a couple of areas where I'd like to expand a couple of plots. Not sure I want to bother with turning any dirt, so I plan on doing some version of a spray/throw/pray. I got the plots sprayed this past weekend with gly to hopefully nip the spring flush. I plan on getting at least one...

I have an area on top of a ridge that I plan on hinging to make it more attractive as a bedding area. The trees that'll be getting cut are smaller (<4" DBH) and mostly either sugar maple or beech. Some google foo' indicates some folks like about 3-4' for the hinge cut when it's for bedding...

The title really says most of what I'm curious about. I'd like to build a box blind for me and the boys (9yo and 6yo currently) to use. It would not be uncommon for all 3 of us to be in the blind together. At first I was thinking of making it 4X8 for convenience sake. After a bit more...

All my plots have rye in them right now. If the plot wasn't seeded with clover in Sept. it will be getting frost seeded over the holidays. I don't have access to a mower, but I think I could get the plots mowed at least once. If I did that I think I'd wait until the rye had set seed. I do...

I have a couple of standard chinkapins on my place and am interested in planting some of the dwarfs. Due to their, often, multi-stemmed, shrub like growth habit, how are folks protecting them? I'm thinking a 6' diameter cage and once they get tall enough to have quite a few branches above...

In a couple of weeks I'm planning on overseeding a few plots with clover and oats/rye in an effort to get some permanent clover plots going. I thought I had my mind made up on the clover, but when I laid hands on the bag (BOB brand) the seed tag indicated that 1/2 the seed was "Reseeding...
