Puttin' in the Work

I spent most of the day today doing a lot of food plot maintenance and site prep for a new plot.  Not to mention mowing & packing trails and finishing a small construction project on our property.

I spent about half the morning at Turkey Top.  I finally got the last third of the clover plot mowed with my string trimmer.

This is a section I mowed 10 days ago.  You can see how the clover is doing well since the grass was cut back.  Hopefully after applying Arrest, the grass will be no more and the clover will really take off.

I also found a break in the weather today and suitable conditions to spray the plot with Arrest herbicide.  I only sprayed the part of the plot that I mowed last week.  I saved the part that I mowed today as a "control". 

I then had a small strip of land between the end of the planted corn field and the edge of the timber that'd I'd never done anything with before.  I mowed it down and sprayed with round-up. 

The farmer we rent to left me a pretty wide strip of land between the forest & his first row of corn this year, so I might try to seed a strip plot the entire length of the field.

 

I have a bag of clover still left to be planted, but I kind of want to try something new here.  If anyone actually reads this and has some suggestions, it'd be much appreciated.  The site receives almost full sun the entire day.
