I have never used one, but this looks reasonably priced and has fairly good reviews.
I would definitely have a soil test done for a guide as to how much and what soil amendments your plots might need. Lime is one of the most critical amendments and worth every penny. Fertilizer and some sprays don't work as well without it and deer seem to favor limed plots and fields more IMO.
BTW, did you get a chance to plant those Eagle soybeans? if so how did they do, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks!
Ya i planted them, but kinda got them in late (June). They grew pretty well, but am STILL waiting for the pods to grow on them. Michigan doesnt have a very long growing season so that might not work in my advantage for these.
I emailed Eagle Seed and asked them about this, but still have not received a reply (which kinda frustrates me).
But like they say, big leaves, tall, grow fast....thats definetly true.
