VTbowman Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Got a few minutes today to go and mow the food plot. I sprayed it a few weeks ago with round-up. Gonna let it set a few weeks to see what grows back and then spray that before tilling... The area behind the stand... Luke may recognize this spot... An old ground blind was under that pine tree... Spot directly under and in front of stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Food Plot brown and mowed pics When you till, you will till up a whole new set of weed seed. What are you planning to plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Food Plot brown and mowed pics I am planting Hamme Farms Trefoil/Clover mix. Should I till then spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Well, Todd is the expert on the timing of the trefoil, but typically you till, wait 2 weeks or so (with a good rain) to let any new weed seed germinate, then spray that off, then plant a day or two after that. If you till then plant, all kinds of weed seed will come up with your trefoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Food Plot brown and mowed pics Wow !! that spot cleaned up nicely Shawn... and should be an ideal plot spot... I also agree with Chris,,, tilling under that brown will only germinate a whole new growth spurt..... I would till it under and see what pops up for new growth and then tackle those again with another spraying.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Food Plot brown and mowed pics you will be surprised how many dormant seeds are just waiting there to germinate. I would recommend tilling it up then repacking the soil. Wait for a rain--then respray anything green 2 weeks after the rain. Wait at least a week then till and plant. You still might not be weed free but you should sure be close. best of luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Re: Food Plot brown and mowed pics I definately planned to spray one more time before planting. Just was not sure of the timing.. Thanks to all for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Shawn you still have all of this month..... As long as this seed hit;s the ground sometime in MID July,, NO later than August you should be OK.... This is the planting schedule Martin gave me.... Good Luck Buddy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
