    That garden is coming along nicely Joey. And that's what I mean by "educating" those deer - that one just had his first lesson. There might be a few more, but they will get the idea eventually. The pear graft is looking good also, but I see you still need to keep eliminating those old spouts on the graft tree itself. Thanks for another gooo'un. God bless and stay safe.

    Hi Joey , the garden is looking good. I know i have to fight with deer and groundhogs over the years. So I decided to plant enough for me and the wildlife that worked out pretty good. But it looked like got the best part of the crop.. Every year when I laid by my corn it was rubbing the bottom of my tractor. But it survived and made a nice corn crop 🌽 . Thanks for sharing. Have a good day. 😎😎

    Good ideas for next year! What I've done with Regen Ag that maybe gives you more to think and experiment with: fall plant winter rye (earlier in the fall is better, possible broadcast while the corn is still standing if expecting Oct or later corn harvest) and then delay corn planting in the spring to last half of May (for me here). Two methods due to my 1950s JD-290 shoe planter limitations is I disked down the rye and planted into that. Smaller field I'm hand planting...Ideally plant into green standing rye (using a no-till type planter) and then roll-crimp (or stepping on an angle-iron bar) to kink and terminate the rye after the corn (or beans) emerge. Gives a straw mat and in-field compost to protect the soil microbes and worms from heat, worms live in the top five inches (tillage sets them back, as does 120F+ bare soil). If you miss fall rye then as early as possible plant spring oats treated the same way as the rye. Rye is more vigorous at out-competing weeds than oats but timing determines choice. Best performance is drilling the rye/oats but broadcast works. There is a guy doing this commercially on 5,000 acres with no chemicals (search Rick Clark presentations, he doesn't have a channel), second best is to 'strip-till' through the rye with a cultivator matching old-time shoe-style planter row spacing to cut channels for the planter shoes to work in. Jon at Maple Grove Farms channel has some white board talks on comparisons of equipment and field passes, how he's cut his fertilizer and other chemicals. I found I need to conventionally plow a hay field the first year then the rye/corn/beans/etc keeps the ground really workable after that. Search out other cover crops for all the NPK vitamins. Buckwheat is great at bringing in beneficial insects, kind of like an insecticide.

    • @Jtwes
      @Jtwes  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You for your thoughts. That was very informative. I had it own my mind this year probably doing rye instead of oats and start incorporating it early April and conveniently planting first part of May.

  • @nathanalmond8280
    @nathanalmond8280 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Awesome with more new subscribers Joey. Cultivators are doing a great job. Yeah the soil and temperature makes a big difference. You can plant corn early and if it comes up and is yellow and pale you can plant some a few weeks behind it and it will pass it and go on. Yes the deer can get get your patience. At least you don't have a bear like I have one around that has been at the house a couple times in the past couple weeks. Take care and yes that Jimmy Red is a pretty stand.

      I heard what you said about some shoots taking off some not the same.with the corn. I learned from the people deep in Mexican cloud mountains the way they grow. After so many years of a perfect strain bred. They reinvigorate the stock by adding in a few teosinte plants to the field.. Then reselecting for desired traits with the new added vigor. ..it's pretty amazing amount of selecting they do.. usually 12- 16 seeds in a mound that gets weeded to 3 or 4.

    Looking good!!! I was up in your area today. Chatham county farm and home feed store I get a pallet of fertilizer from there every year. Nature safe stuff I have to use, it's omri listed. Thanks for sharing, your garden and corn is looking good. I plant corn about May 5th to 10th every year. I like the bi-color it's a 70 day corn. It will really help your soil to do a cover crop. On corn ground Ray's crazy blend is a pretty good one. Oh and ready to see you hit 10k subscribers!!!!

    I don’t have deer , the raccoons always let me know when my corn is ready. I just remind myself they get hungry just like we do.
    This spring was cool and wet for me , I planted about the middle of April. Had to replant a 3rd of the garden. My corn was about 50% , replanted all good now. Just needed some sun and heat.
