[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5688764, member: 17"] I'm doing mine (8 total acres) in two shifts this year. That should reduce the chances of a total crop failure due to poor weather conditions. I would rather have to replant half the acreage than all the acreage. I've already started prepping the first group of plots. Mowed them yesterday. I'll give them a week to regrow above the thatch, then I'll spray gly, then wait another week for everything to die, and then start ground turning and planting. Once those plots have germinated and are up enough for deer to be feeding on them, I'll start prepping the other half of the plots. Because my soils are VERY poor (predominantly chert rock), I limit what I plant to crops that can handle the poor conditions: Buckwheat (as a candy plant knowing it will die with the first frost); Austrian Winter Peas, Wheat, and Crimson Clover. Brassicas/turnips/radishes will grow in my soils, but deer don't seem that partial to them on my place (except mid-winter, when they will pound them). [/QUOTE]
