Hi All. I have a 1/2 acre piece of field that I must have imported
galin soga from somewhere else with the harrow last year. It was in
the section that was planted to tomatoes, and weather and
field conditions were really rewarding. After mowing the tomatoes at the end of July I seeded spelt and have a good stand there. My question is how to deal with this weed this year.
I have several options - the normal rotation would have been to winter squash. This would allow aggresive stale seedbedding then cultivation until late-July. Or I could jump to potatoes, with early tine weeding then hilling. Or I could leave it in spelt, then a later cover. Or I could bare fallow for the season. Or put pigs on that section of the field for the season (will they eat it?).
Anyone have a best approach? It's an obnoxious weed...
thanks,
dave
