    Brassicas

    For those that think roundup won’t work in the winter this is the edge I sprayed in February. You can see it starting to yellow. I frost seeded clover into my brassicas today. I sprayed any grasses or other green weeds in the brassicas in February so now the clover will have a head start.

    Brassicas

    I’m in northeast Ohio but the temperature was 60 yesterday.The roundup will work if the temperatures over 50 and the plants are green when you spray. The only difference is it will take a long time to kill. I did it a few years ago in December during a warm spell.By spring everything is yellow...

    Brassicas

    They ate the tops pretty well but not the bulbs. Until the end of December I had corn in the feeder and they were hitting that. I thought when the corn emptied they would hit the bulbs. Spot sprayed any weeds with roundup today and am going to frost seed clover in the next couple weeks.

    This is how they finished. Lots of bulbs but the deer didn’t eat them.

    Starting to think cell cams….

    I don’t have a problem with them not being legal but if they are legal then it’s a choice. You don’t have to use them.The game department wants a harvest.They don’t worry about your neighbor doing it different than you and you being jealous. We allowed crossbows in Ohio years ago and population...

    Starting to think cell cams….

He knew of a small piece of land (8acres) that was along a large managed property. He had inside information that it might be for sale. He bought it and cut some timber on it and...

    Different woods in different parts of the country. I understand that. Bitternut hickory does not dominate any area of my woods but is scattered here and there. I have plenty of maples to drop to help the deer. Deer love maple buds.

    In my area the woods are mostly soft maple. Ten miles away woods are mainly red oak. If I cut down all the low value trees (soft maple,hickory,tulip poplar) I’d have what you’d call a field. I obviously don’t have a high value woods.Just didn’t understand why the bitternut had no lumber value...

Most of my woods is softy maple,cherry,tulip poplar,and hickory. Some red oak and hard maple. I looked up your posts about...
