RE: Planning Spring Planting - 2005
Sean, it's going to be tough for us to look at a plot and give you idesa, the only thing I suggested to you last year was overplant those beans in 15 in rows, I think you understood what I was talking about, maybe make your strips of corn narrower, just make the entire patch wider, so you have the same amount., I would leave wider strips around the perimeter, maybe 20 ft or so , however wide your mower is times about 3 passes. this for driving around looking at wildlife without tearing up the crops, Try some sunflowers, deer love young sunflowers and they are good for the birds as well later on, On those corn strips , fill them in the middles with soybeans, I meant to say. Put in a small patch of sweet corn for the family and when it is gone in the summer, disc that up and seed it in turnips. Seems like you already had success in the past. RonM
