I do have a cultipacker, and that, along with a drag, is my usual process, just take forever. The way the plot is laid out, there is a lot of pulling forward and reversing to get to the next strip, so attaching it to the disc would be problematic.

I think they would be a huge help. My soil isn't heavy clay, but has some mixed in, so clods are sometimes an issue.

For those of you who use a disc, does anyone use a rolling basket to break up clods? Just looking into possibly making one to use behind my disc if it is worth the time, effort and money. VV

It is grass. I will hold off, temps in the 60s all next week.

Grass is beginning to pop up in my clover and seems to be outpacing the clover. Temps will be highs of 70 and lows of 50 on Wednesday, but back down in the 30s by the weekend. Would Wed be a good day to spray, or should I wait for more consistent temperatures? Thanks. VV

Following this thread for later use.

I may give these another try this spring. EHD has decimated the deer herd in my county, so maybe I could plant some without having to cage them all in. I am sure the two fawns and the fork horn I still have left around here may eat a few, but hopefully the rest would live and grow.

This is the Iron Side series of jacket and pants.

Good for mid season or layered for late season. They are too big on me as they fit more like an XL than an L. I am 6', 200lbs and they are baggy on me. Plenty of pockets for storage. Very quiet material. $135 shipped

I am game too. Just let me know shipping costs.

Mowing, spraying for grass (which until now was the only "weed" in the plot). We have experienced drought the last 2 years so some patches have dried out leaving openings for weeds to get into the plot.

I have seen it in yards before as well. It isn't a shaded area, but is along a creek and stays damp.

I have this starting to take over large portions of a clover plot. Just curious what it is and if I should spray it now or wait until Spring to mess with it? Thanks. VV

Just broadcasting. No water source for a sprinkler.

I did buy it from Wal Mart. The "pears" are still on the tree and are still about the size of pea or little larger. I have never grafted before, but will research it over the winter and give it a shot this spring.
