Thanks and you are 100% correct and it just hit me. Excess ph has to go somewhere and it is going into the unshaded weeds. Will incorporate some Saluda this fall into the Ladino

I agree. The Balsanic seems to be the deal. I will try to find the Auburn article to post as it appears that maybe there is some truth to their findings. My Ladino plot is going on 6yrs now so I have started frost seeding Dynamite Red clover into it for the past 2yrs now. We had a very, very dry...

Test plot in 7a Southwest Tenn. After reading a University of Auburn study on Fixation Balsanic reseeding quality, I planted a test plot in August of 2021 of Balsanic clover with Saluda wheat as a companion . Seen some 2021 winter clover growth but not impressed. Spring of 2022 that stuff took...

I have used Imazamox for 3yrs on a clover plot that has pears, apple, persimmon and chestnuts with no effect on trees and sprayed with a boomless sprayer. I use 6oz Imox and 10oz prime oil in a 25gal per acre. I have also used Clethodim 2E and Butyrac 200 on my fruit trees in the plot with no...

Cleth or Butyrac200 did not seem to effect mine. Today was the first w/the Imox/Cleth combo. I have about 30 red/yellow delicious and Arkansas Blacks, 15 pears and a bunch of Chinese Chestnuts to spray around. So far 4yrs no problems. I Try to get the spray as close as I can but not on the...

Been spraying w/Clethodim and Butyrac 200 for yrs but decided try a Imox type product. Just sprayed 3ac of a 5yr old white ladino plot. Broke down and bought a gal of Imazacast (Same AI as Imox, Raptor & Beyond) and already had a gal of left over Clethodim. KPS suggested a mix of 6oz of...

Have not posted in awhile but refer back to this particular site often, lots of good info and practical knowledge on this site. Posters here convinced me to consider trying Cleth. Here are some recent findings/learnings that may be of help for pure clover plots. I have a 4.5ac Durana and...

The Balansa annual clover came up nice, bloomed and died back. I'm sure it dropped seed. Late August 2017 decided to replant with perennials. Replanted the Balansa plot with Advantage perennial white ladino with 10pds of turnips and another plot with Durana perennial white clover. The Advantage...

Balansa starting to show. Working to get plot ready for Tyrone soybeans. Have to do some research on the Sucraseed. Everything I have been told is perennial ryes don't do to well in my area. Might be worth a try. I like the ultimate low-maintenance plot theory. I can fish every day until bow season.

Fixations in the ground now. Planted 3/09 with temps in the 70s just to get slammed by snow and lows in the lower 20s. Hopefully it will be fine. Tap, I thought the Fixation matured and died back early summer and re-seeded itself. Are you finding the mature plants do not die early summer, just...

Very nice. Will put mine in the ground as soon as it dries up. Can see where they went deep into the stem. Do you remember what month it was that the deer were no longer interested in it? Did you see any new growth before winter?

Thanks. Company websites are great but my reality is my deer plot conditions are not in the ideal soil. Rocks, stumps and rotting wood slivers have been a 3yr project. The https://greencoverseed.com/species/1088 is a great site and gives useful insight . Never seen it before and it answered most...

Don't know what kind of deal your looking at but I picked up a new Polaris 450HO 4wd for the base on the Suzuki. Wheeler features depend on how steep your place is and how much side hilling will be needed. How big is the place your wanting to do?

Agree with Ben. No hill is worth the expense of loosing your tractor or worse. I have a 2wd jd2630. While it is stable it has it limitations. It has been on three wheels and that is not a good feeling. I had to terrace my two hills to keep it from washing after tilling it so hills can be a pain...
