[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5143326, member: 20594"] Final update on the experimental "sow & mow" RR beans: sprayed them with glysophate little over two weeks ago. Made it to the plot today to check on it and a big doe was standing in plot eating away.....as for the technique.... germination was "ok" some areas did good, some areas were thin....a bit patchy....and being RR it did help being able to knock the weeds and grass back....so it did work. Problem is the deer won't leave them alone.... majority are nipped off and none of them are over a foot tall....never had planted beans in this location and knew it would likely get hammered....but again, wanted to experiment with a different technique of planting. But after two years of growing beans in 3 different food plots from 1.5 to 3 acres I'm convinced (in our area) we will need to use the three strand electric fence system to allow the beans to get up to a point where they can tolerate browsing.....I'm also interested in trying the Eagle forage type beans in the future.....but no complaint about the RR beans we got from co-op....for the money....I was pleased with performance.... especially considering our non conventional planting method.
