Do you not plant anything in the summer? CC and Rye should be done early May. I ask because fall throw and mow plots are easy. I struggle with throw and mow summer plots.
Both millet and Milo are grasses that produce seed heads. Millet is to Milo as Cowpeas are to Lablab or Soybeans. They are the same family and not super easy for a novice to tell apart at certain growth stages, but they are indeed different plant species
I’m considering using Prowl H2O (pre-emergent) this year on my summer plots. My method of planting is throw-&-mow. Most herbicide use for those-&-mow is round-up at the time of planting. I’m considering using both Round-up and Prowl this year to really get ahead of the weeds and hopefully never...
Buttonbush has spread all over the edge of my pond. It’s almost impossible to fish from the bank and I’m on a mission to eliminate it. It’s like the sweetgum of shallow water. I’ve done a lot of research and there’s very little info available on effective methods to kill it. It looks like I may...
Yoder, I’m 100% surface broadcasting on sandy loam in central Georgia and I’m still searching for summer mix that does well with broadcasting in summer and leaves me with good thatch for my fall planting. Thatch is super critical for success with my soil.
I would love to know what your thatch...
Agree, It definitely goes without saying. The plant’s purpose is to transfer the nutrients from the soil to the animal. The more we geek out on the soil health, the healthier our wildlife becomes.
I’ve got a couple hundred acres of timber about half is harvestable now the other half is three years old. I was approached by a company with a one year contract to not cut my timber. The value of the contract is only around $1,200 this year. I’m wondering if it’s worth the headache. Any of you...
All of my plots were conventional tilled for decades. I’m only entering year 2 of no-till, so my soil still has a long way to go from a biology and nutrient standpoint - Ph is good. Having said that, there’s enough data out there to give me confidence that I will likely never spend money on K...
Personally, I go through the time and expense of planting food plots to feed my deer. I view plot plants as the mechanism to transfer nutrients from the soil to the deer, so any plant that does that is fine by me. To me a weed is any plant in my plot that pulls nutrients from my soil but doesn’t...
I have planted trails and micro plots in the woods with a drag and my ATV. I bought a good one from TSC a couple of years ago. You can flip it and change the direction of pull to go super aggressive to loosen the soil and cover seed and then flip it over to drag smooth to finish it off.
I’ve had germination issues with WI twice and I don’t like not knowing the ratios of mixes until the bag arrives. I’ve had good luck with Hancock Seed. I highly recommend them.
