I have been saving photos for a long time. I have to get more organized. Have literally thousands of pics. Most of them are not noteworthy. My Mac wants me to load them all in order to loot at them in full size. Then I have to take the time to go back and delete all those pics that are not...
I have a plot with lots of rye and warm season grasses that I want to convert to a clover/ chicory plot. I have some chicory and clover in it now and have frost seeded red clover a couple weeks ago. Will it hurt the new young clover to spray clethodim to kill out the warm season grasses in a...
I have used the oasis from welter and it seems to do great and deer love it starting in late summer until late fall. It seems to compete well with clovers. Durana did well in WNC for a year or so and then we had warm wet summer (wet and rainy for several weeks) and mold seemed to take over...
How long ago was the lime applied? If you have a lot of organic matter on top and lime recently applied I would till it in. It will take a long time for the lime to work itself in. Lime is key in most acidic soil. Do you have a soil test? "D"
We have several Durana plots that are getting run over with Johnson grass, crab grass and other grass we don't know the names of . Clethodim or wicking bar for the best solution? Thanks. D Hunter.
I saw the name of your thread and chuckled a bit. Without reading the first line I thought the answer to most any question regarding lime is "YES" and "Now is a good time" :emoji_relaxed: "D"
My WNC plots that were in late clover, chicory and small burnett had very little except weeds in them as of February. In March I over seeded with the same. We are finally getting regular rain. Still ground water is low. Almost no water in our permanent small creeks. Going up today to see...
Hey Jack, I hate to be persnickity, because you are a wealth of good information and I always enjoy your posts, but the organism that is symbiotic with roots of legumes is a rhizobacteria and not a ribosome. Ribosomes and bacteria are similar but do not perform the same function. I believe what...
I will have to say that I almost never plant a single kind of clover. I try to always plant a mixture of several kinds. Some annual and some perineal. I have had monocultures fail for one reason or another but planting mixtures are seldom a complete bust. So my favorite variety is called...
In my area we get warm wet spells followed by hard cold. I can imagine that some of the clover might sprout and be trying to set up a root system in a warm spell and then get heaved right out of the ground by the freeze and then the cold winter wind drying out the small vulnerable root system...
Acorns may be a factor. The deer are just beginning to come to my food plots. Drought has set my plots back 2-3 months on development. Acorns were heavy this year at our place. Still there are lots and lots of them on the ground. Plenty for them to eat without my plots. Looks like you got...
I did this last fall. Planted a combo of Kopu II, alice and Jumbo ladino. Planted the first week of September a week after a rain. It rained next the last week of november. All that sprouted was dead by late October. Nothing much but cool season weeds and a little of the rye still alive...
We have been food plotting now for 10 years. On my own land for 7. Two food plots that total almost 2 acres on a 78 acre tract. Lots of woods, no ag for 50 miles. Neighbors put out corn and shoot what comes. I have seen more deer since starting food plots but it is not a magic bullet. This...
For sure do not try to turn too tight with a 3 Pt in the ground. Stuff breaks. Also do not go backwards with discs in the ground. I have done that twice now and both times had to replace bushings/bearings. ( I learn slow). I cannot understand the reason for the difference in going forwards...
Still no rain in middle GA. It has now been almost 3 months since measurable rain. We finally got back to the property to check on things. In shady spots a few straggling blades of rye. Most of our food plots planted a month ago look like the surface of the moon. Those of you that have...
If you are getting plenty of rain and it is forecast for the near future I think the fertilizer would be OK but personally I would wait until spring. It has been very dry here in the southeast. My NC clover/chicory /small burnett plots were just up and going about three weeks ago. I fertilized...
