I am not sure on the palatable part and I tend to agree with you, but I believe that mowing helps stimulate the plant to produce stolons. Believe me, after all this rain here I have spent enough of my summer on mowers. But those chicory shoots turn really woody. Can't imagine anything eating...

I stopped by the farm today to make sure we did not have any storm damage, things look good. However shockingly the Chicory in the plots has started to bolt pretty heavily in the last week. I was looking over the plot and thinking maybe I did not get as good of weed control as I thought. But...

Good Morning. I overseeded WR in Late August Early September. To be honest I am not really sure how much of a difference that made but WR is cheap. Last year was very dry, The clover was there but could not really get going. It started to look better in fall after the hot dry summer relented a...

I just wanted to reply and update this thread, Omicron's suggested mix worked really well for me. I sprayed in Late May here with this mixture. There was quite a bit of grass and weed growth as well as a good bit of Winter Rye I broadcast in last fall. Mowed the plot in early June and here is...

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?
