    Discing to kill weeds

    Hey all…so I have read that one can avoid spraying to kill weeds and grass by discing and doing it again 2 weeks later. In fact it is in the QDMA book on plots. Well I did that with stunning unsuccess and failure. Plowed it up and did so again two weeks later and have barely made a dent...

    No Spray

    Anyone manage their stand without spraying? I hate to use the stuff quite frankly and wonder what it does to the deer and turkey and then me if I eat them. Any non-spray options?

    Puzzled by throw and mow

    I've never understood how throw and mow works when the field is covered with clover, grass, weeds, leaves and other organic material and I'm throwing the seed on that. I tried it for the first time this year and sure enough I went out to that field today for the first time in a month and was...

    Mowing Oats

    I had some oats that survived the winter strangely enough...I'm in Maine. They grew nicely and have now turned golden. Question is...when should I mow them? I think I've heard that I should do that at some point. I have nice clover growing amongst it as well. Thanks in advance

    Leaves and throw and mow

    I've never done T&M but am planning to do so next year with a couple of plots where I have a difficult time getting in my machinery. I was looking at one the other day and I realized I have a lot of leaf drop on that field. Oak leaves. Will that affect me next Spring when I go in and start to...

    Rock Dilemma

    I have a field of rocks. It's 1.2 acres and in a great spot but it's a rock fest. I don't mind the hard work of clearing them but I'm worried it's just a fool's errand now. I have disked it unfortunately for me because I was naive and hurt my disk. Nothing serious but I won't do it again. I...

    Weeds

    Can someone tell me which weeds I should be most worried about? I've read on here that some weeds deer eat and can be fine to have...some should be avoided at all costs...others not helpful nor harmful. Thank you.

    Drought

    We are having a mini-drought here in the lower part of Maine. I've got 5 brand new plots totaling about 7 acres that I've been working on and planning on planting this month or next. That said...we are having a drought that we haven't seen in decades and there's no rain the forecast. I'm...
