huntermq32 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well all that hard work and it's all over. We had 7inches in two days time and it flooded my monster mix.I don't know how many days it was under water maybe 3 days but it looks real bad. What do you guys think could it come back or no?

rhine16 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well i'm kinda under the exact opposite conditions, but i can relate to your problem. I planted all my food plots on the saturday and sunday before Katrina hit(Monday). We got plenty of rain. I'm guessing at least 7 inches, but i really dont know. Most of it came up. Some was washed away of course, but for the most part it came up. I hope yours works out. Would be terrible to spend all that money for nothing.

huntermq32 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 This plot is a year old and was real healthy looking.But now it's hard to even see any clover what you can see is matted down and dark brown and the chickory is mostly all brown and sickly looking. The weeds all made it through they look nice and green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 With the plot being a year old, it should be established. The clover should survive the flood, if the water did not stay for too long. Used to have clover growing in the bottom here, and it did fine with the occasional floods that would come through where it was only under water for a couple days. What did it in was being under water for about 8 months out of the previous year. Of course this year we have been in a drought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 if it doesn't make it next time consider planting trefoil. It can withstand short flooding pretty good. Hope it rebounds. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Man,that stinks.I would give it another week and see if it pulls through. What part of Illinois are you in?Here in central Illinois we haven't seen any rain in about 12 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
