Do you think it was a pretty even distribution of your really tiny seeds?

Can't help with a setting but, I'm thinking I'll run some of my CP42 seed through the planter, the rest will have to be hand spread. There is such a difference in size I can't bring myself to thinking I can use a mix. We're doing 47 acres.

That's nearly every day here at Pheasant Hollow. Except I'm often in heavier growth and wetter ground. Climb on that baby and learn the pucker and go.

That sounds like my place, not the 12 deep', if you're actually talking deep underwater. My drainage property has water get 30-40'wide 3-4' deep every year. Not depth just wide wet ground.

Did you use the geotextil cloth in there?

Do your side ditches drain to anything? My really wet area, like that, has a drainage path at one end. Do you think that if that those ditches could drain you would need the wood? Or just some geotextile? I'm also planning on removing some side trees and doing some hinge cutting to get more...

That's kinda dry looking compared to a couple of my paths that need semi regular access. I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow night or the next dat and some remedies I kinda have.

If your planning to hunt it, one of the first things is to figure out how to access where you want to hunt. No sense putting plants of any kind in until you know if you want food or blocking etc. Habitat doesn't care, hunting it does.

This cherry has outgrown its tube. This year most of my others will get the tubes stripped. I reuse the split tubes for short seedlings.

This a row of black cherry planted about the same time as the white spruce and white pine . They get whipped on pretty good in the tubes. Some have grown enough to bust out of the tubes. They were planted along the conifer edge as a rub line and man does it work.

That's what I'm hoping. There is a small amount of Indian grass and Big Bluestem in the required mix. The pheasants sure do like my switch along with all the berries and shrubbery.

Not required, but I need my no till planter to get decent ground contact and there were/are still lots of weeds that I don't want to fight after planting that many acres of seeds that I don't want to spray after germination. There's still some areas that I may till to smooth them out and get a...

Much of that area has been great cir switch that had to be mowed out for the new program. Perhaps some will grow back in the new planting 😇

Here's one of the hedgerows I've put in this year, there's 6 more similar. We're also planting about 47 acres in the crp pheasant/pollinator as a change from cp4d. I've done a year of prep. Had an extension to plant to get more prep time.
