hello. I'm planting a .4 acre corn plot in a 3yr old clover plot. I'm looking to add 10lb of eagle soybeans. the beans call for about .5oz of inoculant, I was wondering if I really needed it. all the inoculant I find online are like 8oz bags. basically just wondering if I could plant the...

I have 3 7-8yr old Dunstan chestnuts planted in a row. I noticed that on one of them the top 15 ft is dead and the next set of branches down has much smaller leaves. the rest of the tree and the other 2 seem fine. should I let it go or cut the top dead section off. thanks in advance jpe

it definetly doesnt hold water or lay in a low spot. Ill try opening some more of the canopy up

I have a small plot in the woods approximately 1/6 acre. It was neglected over the last few years. It was clover but now has been over run with moss. i applied 750lbs of lime about 2 months ago. It seems as if the moss is somewhat dying. What would be my best approach now to remove the...

trying to help a friend put in a small plot. told him in the spring to get a soil test and lime. went out today and my buddy told me he didn't put any lime down. soil test read 4.5 ph with a recommendation of 5tons per acre. my question is it worth trying to lime now and plant brassicas or...

I have the stihl ms261. Had it 5 yrs and cut 10+ cords a year with no issues. Only thing I've noticed with it is it doesn't want to idle. I figure it's like a two-stroke dirt bike, it's meant to scream,as long as it's ripping it'll run good. I have a 18 inch bar and it'll grow through...

Thanks for the replies. I bought them all from a guy with a small shrub business that were all the same variety. The flowers seem to have started to wilt so I'm assuming it's too late to try and assist in pollination. I'm just going to let them go and see what happens. I was excited to see...

I have 2 paw paw trees left out of 4 originally planted. I checked them today and they both have dozens of flowers. Is there an easy way to tell if they're male or female? They're both four years old and about 12 ft tall. if I'm not going to get any fruit out of them or if it's going to be a...

The bottom pic looks like mine appearance wise, not growth I've cleared the leaves multiple times. I added 500lbs lime in March. I think for now I'm going to broadcast some oats and spray it cleth. I'll wait until mid August to reevaluate. Most likely throw n mow oats rye and clover. My...

i have a small plot in the woods approx 1/6 of an acre. last year it was ok with clover. this year it is over run with grass. my equipment would be a small disk and sprayer would you? a. do nothing now-in the fall total kill and start over with rye, oats and clover b. spray cleth and...

I have four Galloway pear trees that are five or six years old all four of them had plenty of fruit last year. They are all 4in in diameter at least. this year three of them are totally covered in flowers and the one has no flowers. I noticed a couple small buds on it and when I broke some...

Doing nothing is the easy answer. Thanks. You have way more growth then i do already. It borders my clover so some cover will be nice

have a 1/2 acre that was brassica last year. this spring i disked and seeded with oats, which is growing good but is 25% goldenrod if i let it grow until mid july will there be too much thatch to do a throw and mow for brassica or should i mow it at some point. thanks

Got one from cabelas used it 4 or 5 times over a year before the electronics went. My buddy bought one in January, he used it quite a bit but the electronics went on it already. I believe it's $40 to replace the control panel

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably just overseed it with oats after last frost and give it a quick light discing break up the Brassica and then spray n throw in July
