2012 Food Plot

[bodysnatcher]

my bush beans are app 5-6" long. when do you guys pick them?

That's his food plot. If your bean are 5 to 6 get them picked. If they stay on to long they will get tough. And you are right if he put fertilize down that could have caused it to burn like that.

I haven't put anything down. I haven't even started cleaning that area. I will find somewhere to test the soil.

Drought killed it. That stuff grows in wet areas. Hogs love it. it will come back. Its one of those things that never really goes away

[sam03]

Hog grass grows stupid fast. And bambi seems to like it! I have been mowing strips every weekend to try and keep it short.

Sam03, Help an ol' man out if you will please? What is "hog grass"? Lived in Orange county till I was 27, then moved to the panhandle and can't recall "hog grass" in my 67+ years. There are a lot of local names for different weeds and grasses, and when I Google "hog grass" all I get is a bunch of ads for Black&Decker yard tools. Treefarmer

That's what i have always been told by the old timers is pink root. If you pull if up when its mature the roots are pink/reddish and the hogs will destroy acres of it when its ready

After mowing abt 75' i have to clean the under side of my push mower cause its so wet and that's on a dry day where it hasn't rained in a week or so. your welcome to come out and cut your self some or an acre lol

The deer will eat it to. After this week end you should have a nice duck hole.

[sam03]

One in the front yard Sunday.


Two more on the plot



I need to get the camera out and get some better pics!

[sam03]

I have a 5 gal bucket of corn cobs that i cleaned tonight and all the plants I picked them from planning on putting them out for the deer tomorrow should be a pretty good snack!!

[sam03]

well davedirt was right...its a duck hole with no ducks. Its all under water so i will not be hunting it like i planned. I picked up a pull behind craftsman tiller tonight and might do a couple spots if you guys dont think its too late....

Here is the tiller. Should work well in the woods and in my garden! Im pretty excited to finally have one!!

[GoodOyster]

Nice little tiller. When you hook it up don't forget to put the pin in!
