Alfalfa usually struggles mightily if your pH is wonky. Just in case you have not already accounted for that, it would be fairly wasteful to add a bunch of alfalfa seed to your mix. Otherwise, I agree, add as much as you want cuz it takes a bit longer to get going than something like crimson...

Some days I think Helen Keller was probably the luckiest human on this planet. Obviously, No offense intended to those who are or have family members that are BOTH blind and deaf.

Whoops, correction…I’m 47 for a few more months anyways. Otherwise I stand by the rest of my rant. Carry on.

CI just googled what was the penalty for concealed carry without a permit in New York State, the results state that it is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail, 3 years probation and a $1000 fine. If it were me, I would say screw the permit and it’s process to obtain...

LOL!! I started to notice there were a ton of trees around here loosing all the leaves and started looking into it. Leaves are being eaten by caterpillars and they are evidently very hungry. I took some pictures of the caterpillars, trees, close up of the leaves and sent them to my buddy who...

Freaking awesome build ksJoe!!! Nice work and it looks super handy. I may replicate that for my tree watering trailer. Excellent idea!!

The deer dont really touch it here in south central wisconsin. I have a 6-7 acre stand of Timothy and Alfalfa behind the house that one of my buddies planted and was cutting for his cattle twice a year. It does real well here in the full sun and the partial shade. It holds up VERY well to...

Ha…I just started reading this without looking at the date…I was going to chime in too and the whole time I thought this was a college class he was presenting in. Then I caught on and looked at the date. I think my comments would have been exactly the same but it was funny non the less.

Thanks for the update Foggy. Things look real good there! Please continue to post about your results. The information helps us all!

I should have clarified…it took me three different days of working on it, over a 7 day stretch. After reading my posts above it sounded confusing on the timeline.

This Rye is in the same field, but because we were getting showers on and off for a few days, it took me three days to complete the task of getting it all rolled/crimped. The Rye in this picture was rolled 5 days ago. Looking a bit more flat than the picture in the post above which was at 3...

Crimped 3 days ago… Notice how well it is standing up. But in the next picture you will see that it is dying slowly. In this second picture you will see the seed head from a plant that is standing straight up, rolled 3 days ago. Notice three items…1. The seed “sheaths” are already beginning...

Patience “Grass-Crimper”…. Hahahaha

My in-laws were over today at noon for some swimming and pool party for Father’s Day. My brother in law wanted to see my field that I have been doing this no till food plot strategy on and he was simply amazed at how well that crimper worked to terminate that Rye and how good the soybeans and...

Foggy…give it a couple days buddy. I had 30% or more stand back up also. After a few days, majority is turning very pale to white. It was dead, just didnt know it yet. If you look carefully at the stalks that are standing, you will see at least one spot where it was crimped, and thats all it...
