This is a good thought! Thank you for this as I had not considered it.

I had it in my head to rotate it to Buck Forage Oats in August. So I will likely hit it with Butyrac DB in mid may, then kill it down again in late July with Gly. Lightly work it and bury some Oats in it, then rotate it back to Brassica's the following year. It's a smaller plot so I am not...

What would you knowledgeable people do with a re-sprouting brassica plot? Last years brassica plot survived our mild winter quite well, all of the turnips are showing new leafy growth and it is really greening up. So now I am wondering how I should plan for this 1/4 acre plot. I layered in...

I went from a know nothing to what I feel is a really good start in my first attempts to improve habitat. I don't believe that I would have been nearly as successful planting my first plots without this forum and the resources you can find here. Weed control is likely where I have learned the...

Thanks for the feedback all, and I appreciate the compliments. That is a somewhat self serving picture over how the best parts of the plot look. If you look closely in the distance there are some areas that are not doing quite so well. But wherever there is Chicory there is clover under it. I...

Wondering today if I possibly have to much Chicory in my plot. I used WINA Fusion seed this spring and have been battling weeds and have solid hopes for next spring when I can get after them seriously with Herbicide. Chicory is pretty prevalent in my plot right now and it is just now bolting...

Hello all need some advice, while this is not full blow throw and mow but I am wondering if I should try it yet this fall. The situation is I have my bow stand located near a bottle neck which contains an opening in the wood that gets part sun. Right now it is mostly canary grass, some weeds...

For the record I spot sprayed some thistle areas I was having issues with in a clover plot about 3 weeks ago with Buyrtec. I am really happy with how well it knocked back the thistle. It's not perfect but I had a couple of real problem areas and I feel like I have a huge jump on the upcoming...

Rookie assumption was that Red would not over winter here, I am 45 mins south of Green Bay. This is good information, thank you!

Interesting thoughts guys, they sell three clover seeds at my local seed mill, Ladino, Alsike and Dutch White. All do well here Dutch white is a low grower so not really what I am looking for. I don't see much conversation about Alsike here on the forum but a lot about red clover which would...

Likely not to late to get a 2# bag of Ladino and broadcast it in there, agree?

So the Brassica plot I put in two weeks ago is looking great, I expect it to be a success as far as being well filled in, we will see how it draws. I am planning ahead and have been reading quite a bit on throw and mow and I would like to go that route with this 1/4-1/2 plot. So what is my best...

Does Video Count? 1:15 am July 25th

Just for fun I took some photos today to document status of the Clover Chicory Plot at the end of July. It is truly a Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western, the Good the bad and the Ugly. Pic 1 and 2 is a "the good" section a bit lower, held moisture better and is really thriving. Tall Chicory...

Mid Summer Update, we have had a couple of rains and while the plot is far from great it has some good areas, at least some growing clover in most areas and only a few bare spots. Chicory seems to be doing very well some large chicory plants. The Cleth spray I did a few weeks back was pretty...
