My brother-in-law used one on his fourth-year T&M plot this year. Last year it didn't do well because it had very little vegetation to mow over the seed. He had poor germination that year and the birds really did a number on his seed. This year he worked it over pretty well with a barrel style...
That looks right tlh, Thanks.
I'm a little puzzled about the color though. When I GOOGLE "images of Spanish Needle" just about all of the pictures are of white flowers with yellow centers. But the leaf and seed characteristics match my pictures perfectly. The yellow flowers that show up in the...
This yellow wildflower has invaded my wife's Zinnia garden. I may have tracked the seed in on my hunting clothes or boots (S.E. Louisiana). Can anyone pin a name on it?
I posted this a year or two ago. I'm reposting for the new guys here who may find it useful.
I and several other members of my hunting club use this one in our no till plotting.
We call it "The Drag Queen".
Here’s my EZ Fill corn feeder with a built in ladder. The build required five 8’ treated 2x4”, two 10’ lengths of ½” EMT, two 24” lengths of angle iron (to anchor ladder legs) and a handful of ¼” galvanized nuts & bolts, and 16D galvanized nails.
I have a small 1/4 acre plot that's currently a mix of clover/wheat/chicory. Come early March I'm going to hit it with a light mix of Gly to suppress the clover and kill most everything else. A week later I'll broadcast Mung Beans and roll them in with my home made roller/crimper. I'm pretty...
Pictures of my 1/2 acre plot in S.E. Louisiana, taken January 12, 2020. The plot was planted in early October with a mix of wheat, oats, turnips, radish, chicory and white clover using the Throw & Mow method.
I was concerned that if I let that much seed develop I would end up with a pure radish plot next Fall. I didn't think about trying to harvest the seed.
Well anyway, I have another 1/4 acre plot with radish approaching the same growth level that I haven't cut yet. I think I'll let the seed...
I'm in S.E. Louisiana. The picture below (taken last Saturday) is of one of my small plots that was planted last October with a mix of wheat/oats/clover/chicory/radish. The radish went crazy and is now in flower.
I decided to mow it to see if the clover has survived being shaded out by the...
DIY, I have several small plots like yours - bordered by pines. Over the years I've realized it's not the pine needles that limit plot growth. It's the root system of the bordering trees sucking up the moisture. When I killed the trees immediately bordering the plots with the "drill & squirt"...
QUOTE Cap'n: "I'm sure if you put a couple of motion sensor halloween props like Frankenstein or a ghost that they would probably leave it alone for a while."
That sounds like a good one Cap'n. I think I'll hit the post-Halloween sales at Walmart and Home Depot and pick up whatever looks right...
