      Crazy that shredding them completely killed them. I see all brown and no growing peas

        Lots of peas were I topped. Where I mowed not many... I didn’t shred, I cut with hay mower

            4”-6” growth on grains and great coverage too

            Looks great! I did a similar thing in one plot but my peas weren’t nearly as thick as yours and had a lot of weeds so I sprayed, broadcast, and mowed/rolled. This plot hasn’t been disced in 2 years so the thatch is building up nice. Decent growth 2 weeks in, considering it’s only rained once since planting. That’s the no-disc advantage.

              Looks great! Guessing that “crimper” works a lot better once sprayed?

                That’s for sure. The ‘lil crimper’ is handy when it’s too wet to get the tractor across the creek but takes several passes to knock it down if green.

                  Where did u buy the crimper? I tried this method for the first time this year and plot is looking good- I’ll try and post pics- I have been looking for a roller to pull behind my buggy

                        What does that crimper do?

                        I checked the plots i spayed on Saturday. Pretty good kill but i missed a few spots so I sprayed again yesterday. Hoping to grain drill in 1 week and then shred over

                          When y'all spray what are y'all using more specifically than gly? I assume there is a week or two between spraying/planting? Very much a rookie here so I hate to bother y'all with the basics.

                            I like to spray GLy then wait until I get a good kill. Just to lighten the grass/layers so the seed can hit the ground. Some broadcast, but i grain drill.

                            I am also curious what they spray that doesn't kill everything in their standing plots

                              I just bought the tractor supply brand gly. Sprayed August 15. Everything layed down pretty good so I just broadcasted seed into dead grass and weeds around Sept 15. Got rain a couple days later and when I came back Oct 1 it was looking good- very happy with my first try at this. I will definitely do more small plots like this next year. My buddy had a big shooter on the edge of that plot opening morning making a scrape. He could not get a shot but awesome to see that plot is paying off.

                                You would need to go with a “round up ready” soybean or cow pea variety. Then just spray it with gly... if that’s what you are wanting to leave
