My thoughts exactly. Best case figure out a way to do minimal tillage with 0 chemicals.

Sometimes I'm really glad I live in the north... Worst snake I have to worry about is a grass snake!

So , what I'm seeing is my best bet would be to mix a bunch of cover type crops together to get the best results. For the seed beds yes I understand about seeds blowing in and the longevity of viability of some weed seeds, my goal is to.limit weeds not eliminate, that would be unattainable...

Wordy, but I like it!! Lol

Heard of them but know little of them. What do they do?

Do you have them? Haven't heard of anyone having them around here.

Dumb question, have you tried cover crops? Or are you talking your overall property? Reason is I'm thinking about trying it this year just not sure what would be best. Thinking wr but not sure yet. The key in my mind is to deplete the seed bed. If you can keep the weeds from seeding as.much as...

Haven't seen army worms... Don't know that herbicides would control them?

At the most that's all I'm doing. Believe me, if you try to go chemical less everything will feel like a half assed attempt.bi thought I had it this year, in it the weeds said no you don't. Nice thing is as long as they get enough water pumpkins will still produce with all the weeds

Gardens, this year around 2 acres. With another acre of pumpkins, food plots maybe an acre combined right now. I have 6 acres of corn to the north And 8 more to the east.. food plots not really needed much. 14 apple trees , 4 pear trees, 2 cherry trees. No chemicals for 6ish years now. It's not...

It is a ton of work, but I will say the only real problem I have is wild grape. I have that every where. I cut and burn trailer loads every summer. If anyone has a natural way to get rid of it that would be awesome. Hand weeding the gardens is a pia but worth it in the end. Been trying different...

I don't really believe anything when it comes to the " experts studies". It's funny how the findings almost always align with whoever is paying them...it's not an opinion. Do you have a link to any studies?

What's wrong with box elder? If your truly managing for wildlife can't beat it. Food, cover, shade. Everything loves it

Exactly what I am trying to do here in Wisconsin Absolutely hate the chemicals. Laugh at all the people talking about the "clean" venison they're eating whole.sprayimg their food plots with every chemical known to.man I feel it's foolish to believe you must use chemicals to grow anything. 100s...

Then I would guess you would think pretty much every president all the way back to George h.w bush is trash. I stopped worrying about what politicians do with their personal life long ago because every one of them would be considered probably trash in one way or another.
