- Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:05:21 -0400
last fall i put in about two acres of rye vetch. . .
may was cold and wet. then in june we got 13" of rain in two weeks. so
the rye is probably at or past the milky stage and 6' tall. i bush
hogged 3/4 of it. . . will hit it again, and probably overseed clover in
august. Since the spring has been messed up due to rain, a cold may,
etc. I was hoping to recover some losses with expanded fall plantings
in the last 3/4 acre patch of rye.
borrowed a 3 bottom plow. . . got it setup, and made a mess. the rye is
too tall and clogs the plow 50' into the field. plowing after mowing
creates a similar problem.
suck it up and buy the bagged fertilizer for a clear field? or is there
a way to salvage that 3/4 acre field?
really makes me wish i had a howard or spader. . .
thanks
