What I cleared was field edges that haven't been planted in a long time. Scrub brush and weeds mostly that has slowly crept out from the timber over time. No plans to till after the forestry mulcher came thru. I will now spray gly twice about two weeks apart and then broadcast nwsg. I was...

Thanks fellas!

I was under the impression that nwsg is slow to establish, therefore the need for a cover crop. Is this not the case?

I would love to see some pictures

What did you plant?

That is one plan for sure. If I choose not to wait what would be a good plan for planting nwsg this year?

I cleaned up my field edges last week with the thought of planting nwsg between my timber and my tillable. What would be a good cover crop to throw down while waiting for the nwsg to get established? I was thinking buckwheat for this year (2 plantings) but thought I would reach out to you guys...

Speed and sprayer psi are all a part of the calibration process. I used the 1/128 method to calibrate my sprayer. I need 20ga of water to cover 1 acre with my tractor set at 2300rpm in low gear.

I always recommend calibrating your sprayer. Otherwise you're just guessing.

The folks at Drexel told me if you mix 2-4db and cleth together to use cleth at the max rate. Apparantley 2-4db will reduce or weaken the effectiveness of cleth.

What's a good "compatibility agent"?

I also have the Herd. Very well made and it does a great job spreading anything I put in it. It will outlast any of the plastic spreaders. I picked up a FIMCO motor speed controller and mounted mine on the front of my Polaris. I have probably saved enough money in wasted seed to pay for the...

This is the only way to go! Add this for any easy and reliable connection to your battery...

Vortex. Take your pick.
