can't go wrong with a green machine!

welcome to the forum!

very sorry to hear that---I believe I remember him when I used to Archery Talk a lot.

that is great news!

prayers for a full recovery Jason! todd

Jason--congrats on the beautiful healthy granddaughter!

No delivery on a $400 pup:) Al---only have 2 males left.

i just use the red trace mineral blocks. Bury about 1/2 of the block--within a month (with good rain) they have dissolved into the soil. Right now it looks like a 5 foot mud hole.

i think that would work fine.

very nice lookin' area. I agree with the others--keep as much grass and weeds out of the plot. The weeds will only steal soil nutrition from the corn and beans. I'd plant the beans and corn now--wait about 3 weeks and then spray everything with roundup since the seeds are RR ready. welcome to RT todd

agree!

I never spray my fall annuals anymore. Two tillings and that does the trick. I get a few weeds but they are warm season weeds and the first freeze kills them. Now if I'm planting a perennial in the fall then I will spray--usually twice during the summer to get a very clean seed bed.

I thought about one for a while---decided on a tractor.

The problem with waiting until fall is the weeds will have flowered by then and all those seeds will germinate next spring then you will be right back at square one. You can keep mowing the weeds and prevent them from flowering but that will take quite a bit of mowing. Personally I'd go ahead and spray them now--or mow and then wait a couple weeks when they are back growing strong and then spray.

It's very important to identify the weed. If in a meadow then you don't want to use anything to kill the native grasses. More than likely it is a broadleaf weed and you would want to use 2-4D. If it is a grassy weed then there is not much you can use. The best time to spray is now when the weed is actively growing and before it flowers and spreads more seeds. Lime is slow acting in changing pH and takes months to start neutralizing the soil. Fertilizer starts working immediately--especially the nitrogen. The potassium and phosphorus--if not worked into the soil take a little time to work down in the soil. next time your there take a pic of the weed and post it and we'll see if we can id it for you.

I've made several using PVC pipes---put a U joint on the bottom and let gravity do the work. http://www.ehow.com/how_2285556_simple-deer-feeder-pvc-pipe.html

now you can't beat a deal like that!! good job todd

Are you wanting to lease the land for farming so it will also improve the habitat? Don't totally understand what you are wanting. Where are you located?
