Matt, Last year We cleared out two decent sized areas and had two existing log landings. We put a mix of perrenials and annuals in a rate of about 75% perrenials to annuals 25%. The annuals were beans and winter peas. It was a learning year for me. This year I want to add two to three small plots and possible expand on the two that we already made. Here ismedragging a spiketoothedharrow on oneplots we cleared last year.
I am going to frost seed a clover mix over the existing plots to help fill in. The one log landing needed to be tilled more so that will be started over again and possibly planted with oats. They will come up in the spring and with the deer grazing, they should be done before hunting season. Most people would think this to be a bad thing, but I look at it as the deer getting their eats when they need it and then I can plant annual for hunting attraction.
And Rob, you got it, he is a stand up guy all the way around. Just watch him with he gets on the watered down grape cool aid.[8D] (he is a surprisingly good dancer)
