We have a TON of white and red oak on our 100 acres in Ohio. The deer could probably just live on acorns all year if they so desired. BUT they do seem to really enjoy the plots I put in. They crush basically anything I've planted, from rye to brassicas. However, when it's warm, they tend to...

Due to time constraints(and a 2.5 hour drive to property), I had a tough time getting to my property for any kind of maintenance of my plots this year. Basically let the field go fallow for the summer, and finally got to it 3rd week of August to mow. Mowed pretty high, came back a week later...

Wasn't easy for me either. LOL. Didn't have a ton of it though, so it was easier to justify. And I couldn't kill the grass and weeds without nuking it, so it had to go. :emoji_disappointed_relieved:

Appreciate the input bud. Forgot to mention I actually had quite a bit of crimson and red clover growing in there from the past 2 years of frost seeding it. Seems to grow better each year so I assume it's putting a decent amount of N in the soil. Terminating the clover was another reason I...

Put in my fall plots on Sunday. Had a decent stand of buckwheat/peas/oats growing from summer planting(along with plenty of weeds as I didn't spray for that planting), and the deer hammered them in June and July. The weeds/buckwheat were mostly shin high, and I wanted to kill mostly the grasses...

My first T&M experiment with summer plots has worked out pretty well thus far. I had tilled this plot the last 2 years and always had trouble getting any decent germination as this plot is on a slope and drains so fast it won't hold moisture when tilled. It was WR and clover in the spring...

June 14th

Had plenty of rain, but this plot is at the top of a hill in super rocky, well drained soil. Usually rain is never an issue, it's getting too dry that is.

Didn't check soil temp but I am certain if it wasn't 80, it was damn close. Grew BW last year in same plot with good success and we have had MORE rain this year. Just kinda weird.

Mostly just wondering if anyone has had ANY success with foliar ferts. Don't see too many posts about it. I know most like to throw down urea, but my property is 3 hours away so I can't always time throwing down urea and a forecasted rain.

Whats everyone's thoughts on foliar liquid fertilizer? I'd like to spray it on my buckwheat that's been yellowing this summer to give it a boost. Tried a couple in the past with limited results, so if you know of a decent one I'm all ears.

First year with T&M method....put in a mix of buckwheat, oats, and spring forage peas 5 weeks ago into HEAVY thatch/weeds/rye from last fall. Didn't spray it because, well, I didn't bring my brain with me that day and forgot my friggin sprayer and the property is 3 hours away so it wasn't...

Wife and I managed to double up on opening day here in Ohio. Took down these 2 longbeards(11.5, 11 inch beards) in a clover plot I had been planting the past 3 years(plus some ryegrass I plan on terminating this summer)! All the work finally paid off in the first hour of shooting light! Her...

Going to be spraying cleth for the first time ever to try and get control of some annoying ryegrass before it takes over in one of my clover plots this year. I have a 4 gallon backpack sprayer. Wondering how much Dawn to mix in with the Cleth. I'd rather not spend the extra $ on crop oil, so...

Here's a link for the seed store here in OH that I buy from. Always quality seed. I don't think they are RR, but you may want to ask. Might be trying sugar beets myself this summer. http://meritseed.com/sugar-beets-coated-annual/

I plant in Central Ohio and 2 years ago did radishes(no other brassicas, so I can't say how they would do) and clover on Sept. 1 and they did pretty well. Didn't get monster roots, but the deer hammered the tops, which was right in time for bow season. If you aren't concerned with massive root...

Got out last weekend and did some frost seeding in Central Ohio. Had surgery on my knee a couple weeks back so the wife took over with the spreader for the day. Couldn't get to the seed store before they had closed so I picked up 12# of Plotspike clover and spread it over my 3/4 acre plot that...

This past Saturday was opening day here in Ohio. First evening sit was in a radish/clover/winfred brassica plot where I put up a ground blind about 6 weeks ago. First deer came out around 6:45, an old, wiley doe with a floppy right ear that we have had many encounters with the last few years...

Had my first try at T&M on Monday. Had a 1/4 acre plot of buckwheat that was tilled and planted end of July, before I discovered this site and this method. I wanted to get my winter rye and clover in this week since I won't have much time to do so in the next few weeks. Also didn't have time to...

We had the same issue up here in Ohio. Planted 2 plots in July and had very little rain since. Foliar fertilizer has been a plot saver for me. Sprayed every 2 weeks, and the plots aren't growing super fast but they aren't burnt out. Come opening day they should be just right!
