I used my atv drag to turn over some ground in a small plot of mine. I then seeded a brassica mix. I wish I had time to get out there a couple weeks ago to spray first, but I didnt, and I really wanted to get the seeds in. So I seeded yesterday and was thinking about spraying the existing...

I mowed it down today. Seems like it was mostly turnips. But as you can see in the pic, they looked pretty poor. So it was good to get out there and mow it. I will spray tomorrow. A few weeks after that, I'll drag it then around the beginning of August I'll replant the brassica plot. Thanks...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I'd be a fool not to take the advice here, so it looks like this August, I'll mow it down, till or drag it, then replant. This will be the second season. I have a small plot next to it that has clover and grains in it. Next year, I'll switch the...

I put in purple top turnips and groundhog radish last year in one of my plots. Just a small section, maybe a quarter-acre. I planted in August and during rifle season here (late October), deer were hitting the forage. In fact, I got an 8 pointer from this plot. During the winter, some of the...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I hope everyone is having a great season. I did end up dragging it. Not tilling, but just a good drag to try to cut the moss and maybe aerate the plot a little. This was late summer. Then I added fertilizer it needed then planted WR this past September. The...

Great! Thank you ;)

Just wondering how long an unopened, sealed pack of pork butt lasts in the freezer before it's past. I have one from last season in my freezer. It's an upright freezer in the basement that freezes meats as solid as a rock. The package looks like one that's been vacuumed sealed. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Appreciated.

A buddy of mine has deer eating this. He's not sure what it is. Can anyone help?

I got the stand all set up. Connecting the legs and cross pieces was pretty easy. I placed it in a spot that was almost perfectly flat. I had to dig down under one of the back legs just a bit, then the stand was nice and level. It came with 3 long steel steaks that get hammered into an opening...

I appreciate the info. We'll see what happens. Luckily, most of the beans look just fine. I'll probably NOT spray next year. I doubt the grasses will bother the deer. I haven't seen them eat the 'weeds' before, but I'd rather look at weeds in my bean plot rather than dead bean plants. :(

Thanks for the replies. I don't have the Rup container, as I used it and threw it away. But it was RoundUp with gly. Bought at Tractor Supply. I used my tank sprayer last year and I flushed it out for a long time with water, hoses and all. For those who use RR soybeans, how many weeks after...

Just gly :(

Thanks for the replies. I used the amount the Rup directions said to. I cant remember what it was, maybe a few ounces per gallon. I used my sprayer last year but I flushed it with fresh water for a long time to clean it out. The beans are about 6 weeks old. Here is a pic. This was taken...

This was my first year planting RR Soybeans. I recently sprayed round up over them to kill the weeds that are growing. A day later, many of the bean forage has a discoloration to them. Is this normal? Will/should the beans recover? The pic on my phone exceeds the file limit size here for an...
