I don't know what this thick grass-like crap is. It has taken over one of my small food plots and it seems to laugh at Gly/AMS. I don't know my weeds or grasses and seek advice from you experts.

I have silver maples at my house and hate them due to the bazillion helicopters they drop every year. Those cause maples to start growing in all of our gardens, some just in the decorative rock. Heck, some grow in the slats of the deck. I do have a large opening on my hunting land that I am...

Can someone tell me what the larger plant is that is in the middle of the pic with the more oblong leaves?

I decided that I want to add some chicory to a couple of small clover plots. I know it is late this year but is there any benefit to adding it now (I'm in the UP of Michigan) or should I frost seed this winter or just add it in the spring? Also, what herbicide will I use to kill grass in the...

My son and I got back from camp from prepping for summer/fall plantings. We pulled camera cards which were there since early June when we were last there to complete our spring plantings. The pics below are from the same trail. This trail is around 50 yards from my cabin and is the main trail...

I acquired 14 neighboring acres and there is a nice opening, approx. 1/2 acre with a big mature crabapple tree in it. I was to make a kill plot from this area but not until next year. My goal is to get a soil sample this year and amend the PH best I can this year. I will initially plant the...

If I spray a clover plot with Poast (grass) and Cleth24DB (broad leaves) do I need to wait in order to broadcast seeds into it? I know with Gly, one can spread seed the same day it is sprayed. I live 3.5hrs from camp and try to maximize my trips. Thanks for the advice in advance.

I disced and planted a recently widened trail this spring. I did not get a soil sample but will be getting one in July. I have laid lime and know it likely needs more. I planted clover and buckwheat and it is doing OK for the most part. I am getting some ferns (mostly around the edges)...

Seems like a strange couple. I have to believe the dad is waiting for momma to drop their child(ren).

Last year, I bought 25 cranberry seedlings from the local district and didn't get them all in at camp. I brought a few home to see if I could grow them and later transplant them. The one in the picture is from an area I planted one but it does not look like the others. This thing also grew...

Last year was my 1st with planting fruit trees. My ground is still frozen with plenty of snow in the UP so I have not started my spring work but I will be heading to camp next week. Is there some type of dormant spray I am supposed to be using before things warm up?

Please bear with me on what might seem to be stupid questions to some of you keeping in mind I am still pretty new at this. Two years ago a cleared an area in the woods (1/4 acre lets say) and got a plot started with GRO’s Soil Builder mix. It did well considering the acidic soil. I broadcast...

My land is wet cedar swamp for the most part in the UP of MI. It was only logged once from what I can tell and that was estimated at over 30 years ago. Much of the regeneration is from spruce trees. I want more floor openings than anything to get some natural browse. Should I be killing all...

I might have an opportunity to get to deer camp next weekend to checkout the work an excavator did for me. I don't believe there will be snow on the ground but it will probably still be frozen (UP of MI). Can I spread pellatized lime on frozen ground or will it be a waste money? Being 3.5hrs...

Is Terra-Sorb a recommended product to use on trees that are from 6'-8' before a spring planting? The product mentions dipping seedlings in the gel-like material after it is mixed with water. Would the same apply with larger trees?

If I was to purchase some Highbush Cranberry plants this year on my ground in the UP with a fairly high deer density, would they need to be caged for a year or so? I ask because the local conservation district has some for sale for in 1' - 2' seedlings with 25 plants for $35. I'd like to add...

I am a newer land owner and ventured into food plotting this year having created 4 after having none. So far, so good on those although I have made some mistakes. Next spring, I plan to plant 6 apple trees with 4 in one location and 2 in another. I will be buying my trees from the Delta...

I bought some dumpy cedar swamp in the UP of MI in the winter of 2015. The price was right :) This land basically had one opening and it was small and still loaded with cedars, tag alders and stumps. There was one main trail cut through the property which was cut around 50 years ago. The...

I know that optimally people want to disc/till in lime. I will be doing that in a couple of small areas this spring where I plan to till the plot for OM and then plant a summer plot (buckwheat and clover) to be tilled under again (for the OM) for a fall plot. However, I have a fall plot now in...
