    Curious whats the mix for? Spread rye n clovers, Sprayed basagran + gly, then tire dragged it in. Think there was residual issues? Sedge looks pretty beat up though. 2 foodplots seem ok. One din't germinate well. It might be barely any rain and the one plot has more grass versus...

    I talked to him in 2022. I wanted several trees on anty roots. He was technically sold out on droptine, but gave me 2 on anty roots along with a few 30-06's. Worth a call. We did have a pretty wet late spring ealry summer. I barely watered my grafted bareroots then. Had good drainage of...

    Bad rye seed?

    Used to take a pot saucer fill it with an inch of soil and put 50 random seeds in the saucer and cover lioosely with something to retain moisture. Each one that grew is 2%. Did this with feed oats, always 90%+ for a few years, so stopped testing. Running rye through a dryer is not that rare...

    Thinning compound. Usually applied around or before june drop. Sevin is commonly used to thin apples to make the remaining ones bigger. Also double as a insecticide.

    Rye grass control

    You live in north carolina I am assuming here. You got plenty of time to hit it with clethodim. IT will kill the wheat and has a 2-3 week residual. But, could put down winter rye after that.

    Deer react to the cheech marin branded soybeans next door? Teeter, Bees mess with your apples? At home is yellow jackets. Sugar water traps made out of soda bottles help some. Finding their home and knocking it down helps more.

    Min-till vs no-till

    I forgot to add I limed afterward. Bought 10 bags of barn lime in Febuary thinking I would use it at camp. Had the Gandy set too low and only used 6 bags about 6-700 lbs /acre. Used the last 4 around my 2x11 row of 2 apple trees. After seeding and tilling, it rained like crazy. Might help...

    Need cider Press recommendations

    Cutting the apples or making htem soft is where the investment should be. Alot of ways to press the juice. Not many to cut the apples up. Purchasing a grabage disposal and making a tabel for it is a common affordable option for maceration. Another option s to freeze the apples, then press...
