Big event today at the Deertopia Proving Grounds. Yesterday I applied my second chemical burn down of Glyphosate and Simazine.....to about 5 to 6 acres in order to plant my RC Sundance Switchgrass today. I would have liked to wait another day or two.....but I am on a short leash for time....and it may begin to rain tomorrow or Tuesday / Wed. Pulled the trigger. I planted some super trails of switch in the Power Line ROW that goes thru my land....and is a great bedding spot. It's like I reclaimed another 10 acres of habitat by doing so. The pics dont show the maze of trails I created with my flail mower....and then sprayer. Lots of big rocks in there....so I went extra slow to prevent damage.
Also, lined many of my food plots edges with about 3 passes of switch in many areas....with a few wider and some narrower....and broke up the size of several large plots. Planted switch in front of a few blinds too.....and more "tricks of the trade". Tried to stay at 1/2" depth...or less.....but with all the undulations....it's somewhat of a crap shoot....I think I did pretty good. Got several pics of my efforts.....and I am glad to be planted in time for a rain? My foam markers and drill mod's are worth their weight in gold.
I did attach my camera to the back of the drill......and if I can figure out how to show it dropping the seeds.....I will post it. Let the rain dances commence. (Hi....how...are...you?....Hi.....how....are.....you....repeat). Pics.
