I figured I Try the way I did after seeing some YouTube post On no till. My PH is @ 6.5 and I always throw a couple of bags of lime down every yr. To keep it that way. I seeded 3 plots and no growth in any of them. At $70 a bag I might as well buy 2 1/2 gallon of gly and roundup the plots...
I broadcasted some buckwheat two weeks ago into last yrs brassica and winter rye plots. After broadcasting the seeds we sprayed the fields with gly and as of today nothing is growing. I am in NE PA and there may not have been much rain in the last 2 weeks. Is there still hope something will grow.
I have the Tarter disc that I hook up to my 570 Polaris sisde by side and does a great job. It is a lot easier to use than the tractor disc that I had and sold
I just googled the 3100 earthway and the cheapest I saw it was $120 so in my case if I was going to spend that much I probably would have bought 2 solo spreaders for a little of $100 so one of my other camp members could help me seed or fertilize my 1/2 ac. plots to cut down on my time.
Rit the hard plastic earthway looks good but I didn't see that in person or see any reviews on it. So I was only comparing the solo to the earthway bag spreader.
While I was in Agway the other day I checked out the Earthway Professional hand crank spreader & wasn't impressed with all the plastic components. Still waiting on delivery of he Solo that I ordered.
I am looking to replace my 20 year old solo hard plastic shoulder spreader that served me well but is falling apart. I was able to spread clover seed with the hooper closed all the way up to spreading fertilizer. I mostly use my handheld scotts spreader for clover and I have a ATV moultrie...
