dogdoc Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Finished my spring planting today. I decided to go ahead a disc up my some what failed perennial plot i planted last fall. If you remember we went thru a 6 week drought last fall and most of my clover bit the dust---very spotty with lots of bare spots: So I disced it up today---left a few strands of wheat for cover and to provide some extra seeds for the turkeys. After several passes broadcasted 50# of cowpeas, 50# of a local wildlife mix, and 50# of oats. Covered the seeds by lightly discing over it then packed it down wuth the tractor tires: Here are a few pics of the perennial plot on my 80 acres. As you can see most of the soil is just red clay---not a very good soil but with liming and fertilization the clover, trefoil, and alfalfa has done ok---not anything like my other place that has much better soil but it's getting the job done. An area of alfalfa----the fescue was sprayed with poast about 3 weeks ago---it's working but that poast sure is slow. Close up of the Hamann Farms clover/trefoil--the clover is already flowering: and the entire perennial plot. the cowpeas are behind the perennial. GW---you're still welcome to put your tree stand in the big Oak todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
