boars food plot,

[Boar]

ok so i have spot in the woods, mowed down, now what? ive a tiny window of time to get in and doo stuff befor beans are planted and equipment cant get in. when should a guy plant? how much effort is  need to breack up soil,? i cant fathom picking it clean, i would juzt like run a drage over it and broad cast.

[glenn57]

how big is this area? what you gonna plant. i cant imagine planting anything without breaking up or loosening the dirt at least a little??????

[Boar]

well thats what i figure too, ill plant a mix bag variety i got from someone for free, clover, beans and othe things. i plan on breaking up the soil, but to what extent cause it will take alo g time for grubs to rot out.   

[glenn57]

Not sure I follow the grubs rotting out??

[Boar]

sorry, farm talk. roots and stumps.

[glenn57]

I would think only an inch or two.  When I planted that chickory and clover mix I just spread it out and raked it in. Granted most of the ground was a bit loosened up. Came up early nice. Gonna throw some fertilizer on it this weekend.

oh yur pouting,

Even if you get/buy a throw and grow...it's better to clear it off some to get seed to soil contact, then drag a small piece of chain link fence over it afterwards to get it covered.

[Boar]

cool so what would be the quickest way to remove the trash clippings on a half acre

[Rebel SS]

Napalm.

[Boar]

[dakids]

Fire or leaf blower

[Boar]

[glenn57]

Fire or leaf blower

yea right now with burning restrictions all over the state of some sort, not thinkin fire would be the best option!!!!

[Rebel SS]

None down here. No fire in swamp. Rain.

[Boar]

wenz a good time to plant??

[glenn57]

wenz a good time to plant??

a safe bet would be after  the risk of frost is past.

Early fall can be good too, end of August-early September, for most stuff.

Always have had to have a permit to burn out "in the country", wherever that is now.

No burning allowed in the city anyway.  Everything's illegal here.

[glenn57]

we cant burn in town either, however we can have campfires. and maybe occasionally after dark a few leaves in the fall happen to slip into da fire!!!!!! 

[Rebel SS]

All the neighbors burn anyway. Lotsa people are sick of all the restrictions here. You can if you have an "approved" small "recreational" pit or a covered portable pit with screened sides and top. I use my Whelan portable pit.

darn outlaw!!!!!!!!!!

we've got an old tractor tire rim for a fire ring, 1 of the screened portable things too, but I burn most of the time in a 55 gal SS barrel. I just put the lid on it a lot to keep the flames down a bit.
