    Mature Rye Options

    I am looking into what options I have for dealing with mature rye and preparing areas that I planted LC mix in last fall. I let the rye stand this spring and allowed the white clover mixture to grow underneath the rye. In most areas, I now have mature (dead/brown) Rye 3-5' tall and a good stand...

    AWP coming up in Spiring after fall planted LC mix

    Small 15gal Sprayer build.

    Here is the info on a small spy rig I built last year. I inherited a 15 gal tank with wand sprayer and wanted to try to make it into a sprayer with boom to spray my plots. I was initially worried that the small pump I had would not run a boomless sprayer so i built a small boom. My plan is to...

    Sunn Hemp

    I will be planting some Sunn Hemp next weekend in NE OK zone 7a/6b. My primary goal is to prepare newly expanded areas of previous plots for a fall planting. I am going to plant it around the edges and possibly leave a strip standing if it gets big enough to act as a screen. I will be planting...
