    Biodiverse Polyculture (USDA 8a Zone Pasture) - sounds better than "My Acres of Weeds"

    I sure hope so. Was going to over seed with this stuff, but I've abused the budget this year already. Maybe if I keep my hen count down and reduce my goat numbers??? What I'd save in feed would easily buy 50#, which is all I really need for the sunny spots. Still struggling to find things...

    I dd not know that. Will try later in the year when I start my squish again. Have to move a raised bed first. NOT a priority project.

    I wish. My seed mix says "radish". I've tried both "driller" and daikon in the past (and sometims make sushi at home so daikon is goot top have on hand), but neither took. Breaking the clays plus ag lime seems to have made a huge difference in the pasture. I have pulled a bit, fed it to the...

    and yes, Horsenettle is basically the same stuff. Same color, same thorns, same leaves, same fruits - the primary difference being that the soda apple tends to be largier and "bushier", given the chance. Same family, same genus, different varietals. I likely have both in the yard. and of...

    Same, same. If you get right at the base and come in at a slight angle, you usually bend what few spike may be there away from your finger tips. and if the soil is **just right** I can usually pull a decent amount of surface root and an inch or two of the tap root. But the soil need to be...

    Biodiverse Polyculture (USDA 8a Zone Pasture) - sounds better than "My Acres of Weeds"

    Yes, bare hands. Not so bad if you know where to grab them. In gloves, I don't have the same "feel", and am likely to break the plant above ground, as opposed to pulling some of the root with. and I burn it, VERY intense fire, lots of oxygen and a good coal bed. Same fire style I use to...

    Biodiverse Polyculture (USDA 8a Zone Pasture) - sounds better than "My Acres of Weeds"

    Pulled 3x Gorilla carts worth of topical soda apple today. MAN, AM I TIRED! Also sunburnt, maybe a bit. Probably "sun touched", not burnt. Skin isn't warm to the touch, just tight. That's most of a cubic yard of weeds, but the pasture is looking much better for it. Most of it was either...

    yes (radish) in the feed plot and (yes) several in the pasture from past years - radish, sorrels, rape (source of canola), mustard

    that doesn't describe what I remeber of the I-4 corridor ends - you could set your clock by the rains in Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater and the greater Daytona area. So I'm going to guess Ocala -area. Because it never seemed to rain there when I was backpacking. but as you have chosen to list...

    Last week, yes. Only 1/4" last night - the horrible no good very bad day weather we were forecast last night almost entirely passed north of us. Suspect our biggestwind gusts were only 45-55 mph. Counting blessings. ...and will be watering all this week. Redoing some sprinkler risers as...

    It is. Mostly clover (white/berseem) and Pensacola bahia grass. Scattered in, just starting to sprout is some of the "food plot" mix. The shoots are too big to be clover or bahia, but not yet big enough that I can figure out what they will grow up to be. Best guess is either the grain rye or...

    Yeah between the fertilizer and the lime things are coming back much faster than I thought they would. Apparently flipping over all the soil with the tractor has revealed a couple of seats some few of which have sprouted

    We are at 58 currently - high of the day. Near freezing tonight, near freezing tommorow night, 40, then just sub freezing Weds and Thurs. then it looks like a week of lows of barely to almost 50s for overnights. On schedule to seed around Mar 1. Oh, spotted a second clover. I have both...

    Looks like almost an inch of rain overnight, that should help. Also looks like we are approaching our last freeze/near freeze cycle of the season. Hopeful to put down seed in 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. Oh, ALSO saw my first bit of Scribner's Panic Grass this am. Was worried I had lost it all, I'm very...

    Biodiverse Polyculture (USDA 8a Zone Pasture) - sounds better than "My Acres of Weeds"

    The things I listed above. A little bit of clover, a few blades of grasses here and there. Some bog violets (I think), a little cud weed, ramping (evening primrose), and maybe some yellow wood sorrel. Basically, if it doesn't get more than an inch tall, or its a stick, its recovering...
