Habitat out loud

The rest of the millet heads filled this week. This is the biggest crop of jap millet I’ve ever had.

The clovers and the rest underneath look great too. I’m getting anxious to roll this, but I have to wait until the weekend after Labor Day.

All kinds of birds gonna love that millet. Clovers look great too. Why does the soil in the last pic look grayish? The crops seem to be doing great in it.

That’s subsoil clay. I had some really big stumps right on the edge of the plot, and the dirt got all mixed up.

Japanese millet has been really good for me on subsoils that end up on top, flax too for that matter. It is six feet tall in the good soil.

The beans are barely starting to swell.

The trit is germinating.

The bad spot. The brome grass and some vining weed don’t allow any good stuff in.

So, show me some trophy deer? Grin. (Not easy to provide such on the tundra….despite the food provided).

It's northern mn. There are no trophy deer. Having expectations like that could ruin a guy's experience.

Do you think over time you can sneak in from the edges and overcome it? Or is intervention required?

I am not sure. The brome doesn’t seem to spread, it’s just that spot. I don’t have any peaceful ideas on how to deal with it at the moment.

What about a layer of cardboard with straw mulch? By the time it breaks down enough to plant the brome could be smothered out. Trying to think outside the box like you taught me.

You know what, you are spot on. This spot isn't so big that I can't lay down black fabric, now even, and keep it covered until June 1st. The spot won't be so big the biology cannot move back in quickly, and that should help burn out what is there. That is a fantastic idea, and I will likely do that this coming week. then I can plant pumpkins there too.

Proud of you.
 
SD please post pics of the rolling. What are you broadcasting underneath?

That was the same video from last week. You saw that one. It got winter trit, grocery store dry beans, and zucchini.
