Ultradog Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Mike, the guy I hunt with and I are going up to plant rye in the plots tomorrow. I sprayed them with glyphosphate the end of July and got a good burn off. Going to just disc it good and broadcast with a hand crank seeder. Then pull a 6x6 pole around to cover the seed. Hoping to get something to grow for this fall. Meanwhile, I'd better get out there and fix the tractor tire. I had a flat the last time I was up mowing. Front tire so diy here at home. 56 days till the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted September 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 We got the plots planted Saturday afternoon. I just disced them up real well and then broadcast the seed with the handcrank spreader. Then I hooked up to the 8' york rake and lightly ckvered the seed. Just a day trip but fun and productive. We're going to go back up in mid October and do some brushing Mike snapped a pic of me on the tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Looks good Jerry. Hoping to work the ground for our fall plots soon. Not too likely I will get to it before the rain moves in. Got part burned off, most the clipped grass burned off. Still a lot of green that has not turned yet from spraying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
