Already sitting faithfully next to the toilet paper dispenser. Good reading!
Love the diversity, but I think you'd lose some intentional outcomes like late season greens. If you're in no danger of running outta food with the acres you've got, that's less of a problem. I'm pushing max tonnage because I still run out. It just happens a little later each year.
Go back 10 years and that plan would be ground breaking, pardon the expression. Don't need an App to configure anything any better for deer food plotting. Soil building, weed controlling, food providing, inexpensive, easy. What else is needed??
That looks really cool and I have places I could try that. But here's my question; how do you plant such a wide diversity of seed sizes? Doubt I could use my drill cause setting it to plant watermelon would be too big for most of the rest of the seeds.The wide range of seed sizes seems to be the problem to me. Thoughts anyone?
I sometimes plant around 12-15 different species in a plot. I do Throw-n-Mow and have to broadcast different seeds separately. It's work going over the same plot a bunch of times but no worries as I enjoy the time doing it. When I Throw-n-Mow pumpkins, squash, and basically anything bigger than a bean I throw it by hand as my spreader doesn't open far enough.
I really don't know if there are any peer review studies of mob grazing. Good point and I haven't looked. We don't mob graze on our place so I couldn't give first hand info on it. I do know people are making a living doing it...
Corporate and government science isn't behind any of this. They're starting to catch up to maintain some relevancy, but the pioneers in all this are largely actual operators that refuse to farm for free or live in a toxic wasteland, and former academics that were booted from the ag swamp. I'm surprised Ray Archuleta hung on to his job at all given what he was preaching.
