Looks good.
This was taken this weekend.....I think I have no option but to nuke the entire thing. It's knee high and shading out any possibility of my clover and chicory surviving. There are lots of different plants in there, but I am not seeing any significant browsing on any of it. In the lower right picture you can see where some of the clover and chicory has sprouted, but this was in very limited area. If I had more of that then I would have a chance, but I think a good dose of gly is on the list for next weekend.Can you get some close up pics?
It would be helpful to know just exactly what ypu have growing there. It might actually be more desirable than what you planted.
You mention "judging by the weeds" - you me the types of weeds are telling you the soil is acidic? It is a wooded opening and I figured it would be acidic - I will look into getting some pell lime as well.I'd do a 2,4-d gly mix. If you don't like 2,4-d, be sure to add ammonium sulphate for extra kick. You have your biggest competition up and growing,this would be a good time to burn it down for a fresh start. Judging by the weeds, you're pretty acid.
So you are saying that these plants are indicative of acidic soil? I'm just asking and trying to learn as I am not very up to speed on my woodland plants and what they can tell us.I see stinging nettle, black berry and sorrel, Virginia creeper
Pretty much ,yes. Blackberry and creeper love acid. Bear is right about the lime. Load it up. On the farm ,we always got advice for 3 ton lime per acre and send us another test next year. PH won't change overnight. It my take several applications ,cultivation, and time. Virgin forest floor is almost always acid in the Midwest. I agree with Bear .Lime it, Mow it. wait a couple weeks spray it ,couple weeks break ground,fertilize,plant brassica's.So you are saying that these plants are indicative of acidic soil?
