    Puzzled by throw and mow

    This year, I sprayed waited 3 weeks and the grass was all laid over and it was thick too. I spread my seed into it anyway and then pulled back the thatch and lo and behold most seed made it to the soil. The rains came and washed the rest of the seed to the soil. I didn't bushhog or drag it and...

    Cultipacker vs Drag Harrow

    I use a 50' roll of chain link fence to use as a drag when I need it. The roll works well because the footprint has more weight than if you unrolled it. Don't use much anymore because I don't disc anymore. Throw and mow is where its at.

    Perennial Clover - Best Management

    If you decide to spray it, do it early during the spring while weeds and grasses are young and before they seed out. I never cut clover or spray it when it's stressed from heat or lack of moisture.

    Perennial Clover - Best Management

    Keep the ph right and use gly at 1.25qts /acre. Only do this on mature clover the next spring after it was planted the previous fall. I've used it like this and it works well, you get a good kill on most all weeds and grasses, but it wont kill the perennial clover. At some point you will have to...

    One Thousand Chestnut Trees - a Whitetail Deer Project

    Wayne, i have some in 15 gallon containers that i put 2 chestnuts in and both sprouted. I'll transplant one of those to another pot. Do you think the remaining seedling would last until fall in a container that large? I have 3,7,and 15 gallon containers.

    Throw and mow Chicory?

    Been awhile since i've used chicory, so i remember what size the seed is, but i think its small like clover. If so it should work fine with adequate moisture.

    Recommended caliber/rifle for a new hunter

    Go cheaper with the gun, but don't skimp on your scope and scope mounts. Any of those calibers will be fine, maybe your friends can let you shoot some of their guns so you can decide instead of letting someone else decide. Your only as good as you optics. Along with quality mounts they are the...

    To pee or not to pee from the stand ???

    Piss is ammonia, and smells that way. It doesn't smell like a human and it has been proven in studies, along with 40 years of observation to not bother deer. I still want to know, who pisses on the deer?

    One Thousand Chestnut Trees - a Whitetail Deer Project

    Has anyone that has planted 2 chestnuts in containers, or the ground, ever had both sprout and then pull one of them and relocate to another container or site? I was thinking this might be easier on container grown tree's due to the media being looser.

    My media has lots of bark in it and its loose, so compaction and being too wet wont be a problem.
