Yes, From Missouri. Plan is to kill the cool season grasses this Fall. From there, I am considering putting a section in switchgrass and portion in conifers, but just wanted to hear opinions on this. Thanks to both of you for replying already!

I was thinking, instead of planting switchgrass for deer bedding cover, has anyone had any experience planting conifers like a Christmas tree farm? How far apart do you space them? What conifer varieties would be best for this ? I was just brainstorming the possibilities of creating deer...

When will William's Pride ripen? Are they tart or more sweet?

Barnes ammo is king.

Good question. They range from 6" in diameter to 20-24" for the biggest ones. I would guess most are 10-12".

I waited until march/April to girdle and spray 1/3 garlon4 & 2/3 diesel fuel mix on my maples. Well the sap was running by then and I got very little success killing them. Do I even need to girdle them and spray this mix or could I just spray the bottom 3 feet of the tree now (december) to...

Thank you all for your insights and perspectives. 🙏

Nice one

I have a newly constructed pond dam I want to plant in cool season grasses to help with erosion control and allow me to mow a couple times a year. Any suggestions as to what type? I am trying to avoid deer food so it doesn't end up competing with my foodplots nearby.
