Originally posted by Drycreek3189 View PostRusty, he's S of San Antonio. Too wet to plow on most of my plots. I poured out 3" this morning at Mt. Enterprise and that was all from last night. It's 46* here now, and I probably won't even start spraying gly for another couple weeks.
I need to hit two clover plots with Cleth but both are too wet for a tractor. I could have sprayed with my Ranger last week but I thought I had other things I'd rather do
I noticed some nut grass sprouting in one of my plots yesterday. I aint real sure how to attack it yet. Thought about spot spraying it with Image, I need to talk with the ag co-op first.

I was trying to get everything I could out of the plot, but last fall I replanted with a different blend and just burned it all with gly. So far, no nutsedge and my clover is looking pretty good.

Originally posted by Radar View PostYes we call it Nut grass, but its what hogs destroy the ground for around here. Johnson grass, wild onion and nutsedge is a hogs prime interest here. I have heard of Basagran before, but is a pre emergent? I killed off a lot of nut grass with gly, but I had to figure out to let the nut grass get mature then spray with gly.
I got mine from Keystone Pest Solutions. Clethodim would yellow it a little but it would bounce back. I didn't even know what it was until I described it on the Deer Builder forum on Bowsite and someone there told me what to use. I used a tank sprayer that goes in my Ranger, which is what I use for small spots. It has a boomless spray head as well as a wand. Works pretty well for plots in the woods too. Good luck getting rid of that crap Radar, it's tough and it just gets worse !

On my dove plot, I am going to try and disk the ground so its bare

I sprayed my 2 spots yesterday. They are about an acre each. Hopefully I get good kill. If I don't I will spray again and then grain drill.
My 2.5 acre dove plot I will disk it up to dirt and then drill it in.
I do not have fertilizer boxes on the drill I rent, but it does have small grain boxes

I don’t have a no till drill and broadcast fertilizer after I spray gly. I was told many years ago to work the fertilizer in to the dirt before planting. This will create a better seed bed than leaving the fertilizer on top of the ground.
I can’t tell you one way or the other about drilling seed with the fertilizer above the ground or how long it takes for fertilizer to melt into the dirt to the seedlings. You might need to set the gangs straight on your disc and bust the top crust of dirt before you drill.
