    Rain

    I renamed our place in Southern Ohio Moses last year- the shit parted both ways around us. The most moisture I got last summer in my plots was sweat from mosquitos. Its God's way of prompting a plot overhaul.

    Invasives to Natives

    Confirmed- There is nothing in any of our correspondence on next steps, expectations, etc from the Fed side. Tying a few threads I have on here together; This venture is to make the hunting better on this place. My wife and I love the area enough to try and vet our way into better deer hunting...

    Invasives to Natives

    There has been zero mentioned on anything other than clearing the junk. This is (to the best of my knowledge) solely for removing invasives. Mechanical this year, herbicide over everything this fall or next spring (based on their determination on regrowth) and one more spot herbicide treatment...

    Invasives to Natives

    I cant thank you enough Ben. Theyre awesome! I think my IOU list is almost nearing a complete punch card where you get a free turkey hunt or box of ice cream sandwiches, Haha Seems like the next 8-9 months will be removal and planting prep....will know more at that point if more of that is...

    Invasives to Natives

    Id bank on spraying....more than once As for the layout, I have drafted approach and overall flow. Soils, sun/shade, remaining trees and uncovered topography may alter this some. Great question on the soils. Open areas (adjacent) that I have sampled/plotted were acidic and lower with CEC. mid...

    Invasives to Natives

    I was hasty and left some important aspects out. This is under the NRCS EQUIP program and some supplementary guidance of a Pheasants Forever grasslands biologist . Cost share is a huge part of this....as in "it wouldn't happen either." Aside from the likes of Harper, Strickland and...

    Invasives to Natives

    There are threads with aspects of this ....but after a bunch of searching couldn't find a cumulative one to help me road map this. We have 15 ac of invasive junk being mulched (in southern Ohio) and don't believe the landscape was ever populated "by the good guys" here (as it appear just to be...

    Area in the yellow circle is either open or will be other than trees 6" or bigger. Residential to the east, old Christmas tree farm west, big oak laden woods ridges to the north (and a little to the south before residential)...no ag to speak of.

    Clearing Invasives project- How much, where, and what to plant

    I should change the name of this place to Roller Coaster Acres. Things have changed..... I have a mulcher contractor on ready to go and am waiting for the official paper to re-review things before the action happens. 16 acres mechanically cleared about 2 more I need to spray. Its amazing how...

    Kohlrabi Experiences

    Us Krauts used to call it is celery root salad....when prepared properly (vinegar, celery seed and ????) its pretty tastey. That said- we always had it in the garden and my grandfather and i were the only ones to eat it

    Clearing Invasives project- How much, where, and what to plant

    I felt like my wife yesterday...... Had the "habitat shopping cart" filled with brush to be cleared, then pulled the EQUP checkbook out it to see the balance from the DNR ......and now need to decide what to leave on the shelf at the register before I go broke cashing out.

    Clearing Invasives project- How much, where, and what to plant

    Same page on everything. My BH is literally 15-20ft tall in areas with zero understory....could park your truck under it in spots. I want to be a steward of the land but will also say without selfishness (and paying monthly) I want the best deer hunting I can have. In southern Ohio it is...
