    Walnut trees toxic to clover?

    Very interesting and thank you all. I do notice that the drip line shows more effect. I may take these walnuts out. Sounds like clover is the way to go.

    Walnut trees toxic to clover?

    I have read that walnut trees give off a chemical from the roots and the fallen nuts that can inhibit the growth of some plants within their root or drop zone. Does anyone know of clover is susceptible to that? I have several walnut trees on the edge of what I want to be a clover plot

    When I was spot spraying I would use 4 oz per gallon of gly with AMS because I have hard water. It killed it flat out.

    Creating a sanctuary/ thick forest opening in a creek bottom

    This picture is very similar to what mine looks like on the ground. Looks like maybe the same width as well. I feel like I could keep all human pressure away from this spot.

    Creating a sanctuary/ thick forest opening in a creek bottom

    It’s closed canopy midstory without much undergrowth. No good value hardwoods that low the upper sides do have good hardwood. There are trails through it but I don’t think this is current bedding although I’m still trying to learn the place, only had it about a month. I’d say some erosion...

    Creating a sanctuary/ thick forest opening in a creek bottom

    What are the pro's/cons of opening up the canopy in a creek bottom with hills on both sides in order to create a sanctuary/bedding cover? I have always avoided any working or hunting in creek bottoms, just of a mind that deer don't use them except to pass through on occasion. I am now wondering...

    I used basagran on clover that had a bad yellow nutsedge issue, and it knocked my clover back quite a bit and I dont think it ever really was as good as it was before I used it. It seems like here, Yellow nutsedge happens to start coming on in july, a time when the clover can also be really...

    New Ground- how to manage a poor soil, but flat section and turn it into a food source

    Ive got a tractor with loader, tiller and disc and chain drag, as far as ground engaing equipment goes. I also have a 1 bottom moldboard plow that I may turn a few sections with.

    I would love to see a pic of the truck tires rig if you get a chance. That sounds really useful

    New Ground- how to manage a poor soil, but flat section and turn it into a food source

    I pulled up this section of the property on the web soil survey as mentioned above, and here is what I found- I'm still not sure if that tells me how this particular spot was used previously. Any other key points I should be looking at in the survey? I'll be able to get a shovel in the ground...

    New Ground- how to manage a poor soil, but flat section and turn it into a food source

    I don’t believe so. I’m in the Tennessee Cumberland Ohio river areas. Thanks for this. The only thing I have been able to find out about the history is a power line cut with some of the great big metal towers was cut across one edge and they worked from that top. Beyond that a section of it...

    New Ground- how to manage a poor soil, but flat section and turn it into a food source

    We have just been fortunate enough to purchase a new piece of ground this week. The property is mostly wooded with a small opening here and there and some nice trails. The largest open section on the property is a big open flat. Back in the day I don't know if was used as a log landing, or a...

    Sericea Lespedeza Control

    I have a battle with SL every year. I cut it, and spot spray with Garlon and Gly mix. Somehow i feel like I have the worst of the worst invasives, and this stuff surely can take over.
