What is the amount of roundup type weed killer you might use to kill grass in your clover. ? General amount is 6 ounces to a gallon of water. I know there are pricy grass killers for clover but I have round up type. I realize best probably to wait until cooler weather later and just lightly...

I think sligh. Once said set your seeder for the size seed. Make a pass straight up and back and diagonal. And you about have it

Used to use that. As. I have been told they changed the bait. Or something so it couldn’t be used as a poison. Kinda cruel, even for these rotten nasty destructive coon. Still want to protect my trees. While some coon are being trapped or poisoned. Others are climbing the trees. I have...

Thanks for the math. I have irregular and small odd shaped plots. Very difficult to figure lbs per acre. Gona plant brassica Saturday, Radish, Rutabaga, possibly a bit of turnip thrown in. Guess bottom line. Don’t get it too heavy. As I usually do. The seeds are so small difficult to...

I. Know the Ibs per acre set up for seeding. But what about small areas. ? Like 30 yds by 20 yrds. Small areas. How do you determine. I have a hand seeder. Thanks

Keosaqua seed guy says you can plant rutabaga now! I might try em. He says they are sweeter than turnip. And that guy auta know!

The only downside to early is stuff goes to seed and bulbs get woody

Thanks 150 class. Where are you located. ? North or south Iowa

Still no one has commented on the down side of earlier planting. Yes. For once I have been blessed with abundant moisture. That is my point. If I wait. Could turn dry. I like to plant when I see rain coming. Those tiny seeds are in the top inch or so of soil. When that dries out poor...

Never Never heard of planting rutabagas? Do deer like them? Are they slower growing?

When my fruit trees first began producing. Some years ago. I did Not have this kind of destruction. Coon and varmit populations have definitely increased to incredible numbers. For some reason?

It may be too early. Don’t want the crop to mature too early. These are small plots

Only problem is with a good rain. Which is hard to come by with this heat dome. May have a good chance this week. What I do is get area tilled and prepped. When I see a big rain on radar I run out and plant. But I guess its too early.

Coon update. Up to 15 now. No end in sight!

Is it too early to plant turnip and radish? I know usual time is end of July beginning of August. Thanks

Thanks. Like I say. I have used duct work sheets like you buy at Menards. Wrap around and secure with duct tape but guess not tall enough. Thot barb wire or razor too might help. Maybe no way. They ate clever and determined

Anyone try barbed wire wrapped around tree trunks to deter coons? This is the guy with the coon outbreak. Barbed wire or razor wire. Have tried using house type duct pipe wrapped around trunk. Maybe get some sheet metal to make more of a flare at the bottom? Combined with barbed wire. Any...

Had fruit trees up in N Michigan for 25 yrs. I was surrounded by National Forest. Never had coon damage. I know why so many varmits in Iowa. Corn and beans but never saw destruction like this? Unbelievable!

Coon update. Up to 13 now killed in my yard! Have some apple trees out in my field. Take good care of them. Mature trees. A golden delicious tree was in its recovery mode this year last year loaded. Had 15 or so apples on it. I put tin around trunk as a barrier as I have all of my trees...

And they’re still coming!
