AG folks cut that as soon as they can. Longer its chopped, longer it decomposes.

Used to shoot the rolling tire too. With a bow..... 30 ought bow maybe. You get some weird things to shoot at when you do muzzleloading woodswalk competitions. I hunt in the northeast too, been doing some AG field hunting. I'm not shooting over 250, though my only shot at a decent buck...

Biochar works great. C-N ratio. No C no N. I do that on the camp's lawn area around the cabin. Every year or so, the club president plays with his tractor re leveling and making water in spot worse. IT just leaves beach sand on the top... I get a fire going nice n hot, have a few cold...

Anybody do anything special to get ready for hunting season? Offhand practice, moving targets? Doing a little spruce up of the camps shooting targets. I got a 6 inch and 1.5" 50 gong, a 6 inch 100 yard gong. and a 230 yard 10 inch gong. Being a bit generous for the average shooter. I got...

ID any predominate plants / weeds in the spot? Past few years crops? No big need for contingency's, history usually repeats itself. That's the seed bed. War with weeds is a 2-3 year fight often. Did that with red aramath. NEver played with switchgrass, but if you've never had anything in...

They were popular in big box seed blends for a few years. They nitrogen hogs much like corn? Get that turnip pith / hollow heart if its too warm? Been wanting a break from the grain n clover thing. However, certain crops you can plant rye with, like soybeans. Might be able to turn a good...

Couldn't find alot. https://www.cumminsnursery.com/buy-trees/product-detail.php?type=rootstock&id=29176 I have been worried M111 won't like the winters up there. Maybe I should plant 1 or 2 of them too.

I m digging this old thread up. Givng P18 a try, mostly at camp in low pH sandy soil with excessive moisture issues. Anybody got update on P18? Any pics? Any pics of the root structure when planted? Doing almost all crabapples on them. I am planting one at home to replace a tree that...

Wondering if some states consider plantain a noxious weed. I like mine. Already at my home when I got there. Moved it up to camp. Wondering if common plantain is more hardy than english plantain. Seem to have more common at camp than english.

65 acres is alot of acres even with most tractors hunters own. IF you're selling it in a year or two, I wouldn't throw a ton of work at it. I'd have a farmer handle most of it, if not all your tillable. Then do a corner or two yourself. Or twist the farms arm to put in winter rye after a...

Sweettango catches my eye. Would squeeze a spot for that or topwork something existing. The forbiden fruit of washington patent expires 2032. Exclusive rights to grow in washingston expires 2028 though., march 2027 being the more precise date. I thought it was grown n other parts of the...

Walmart had mulch for $1 a bag on lcerance the begining of august. I usually pick up 2 or 3 loads of 35 bags. You can put up a sign woodchips wanted at your camp, sometimes you get lucky with the local tree guys. usually you need to talk to the foreman. Lowes and home depot usually have...

Ladino is my insurance policy. Whatever I grow, it will not out compete it. IT'll stay alive in the background. If my main offering fails, likely the clover will sit there dormant until it has enough rain to grow. Also, if your late to the game far as frost date goes, it usually does just fine.

I order 12-18 "sedling from willis a few years ago. 3/4's of them were too small to graft and needed a year. Chief river also has red splendor crabapple seedlings. I'd get a few from them too. Saint Lawrence has nice siberian crab seedlings. Very close to dolgo. Ordered some last year...

honeycrisp x enterprise will be off patent soon too. One that caght my eye was big deer from SLN. Good crabapple found from planting 100 sweetango seeds.

Should have a 2nd option. Do you own or lease. Some big acre answers may be lease. I own 6, play around on the field edges of 430 acres of family AG spot, maybe more 1000 including his farm at his residence, and then part of a club that lease 650 acres from a logging company that leases...

Think prices will tank on things soon. Already seeing it with classic cars. Prime top dollar things will be right up there. Real fancy guns like citori's real old 19th century guns. but the jewel in the eye of the average joe, that stuff will go down in value. LEss expendable $$$ for the...

Not an ideal plot, but I have sping planted oats, turnips, and clover and had it survive into hunting season that year. IF I had several years of failed fall plots I be doing that again. I had my august planted fall plots fail at camp this year. I reseeeded one plot mid spetember and some...

Some tree places say to use woodchips / mulch without a weedmat. It keeps the critters out of the mulch. Sort of gives them a nice tunneling area. Stone might be not needed. I had about 1/2 of a row of plum trees get girdled by voles when I started out doing this. MY real problem was not...

Not many true blue spruces out there. Often white spruce is sold as blue spruce. They get some sort of black needle cast fungus. Fungicidal tretment in the spring would probably fix them. White spruce have less problems with that fungal disease. I got heavier clay soil at home. White...
