Ha, that is so true Mike!

Followed you for a couple years now. Went no till last year with a weed kill in mid may after a mow. Killed everything good, maybe too good because when I spread it in August, it never materialized. Also you have spoke before about turning the soil is bad sometimes.

@@jamesstewart4966ph is off is my best guess

You are very welcome!

Thanks a lot Connor...we really appreciate the support!!

I agree

That's great to hear Tim! And you are very welcome. It feels good to be on schedule, btw! We have really been attacking the land this year...kind of a relentless pursuit, ha

Nice...that's a good feeling tho Alex!

Nice...good luck Drew!

Thank YOU!

Haha...so true Beau! A LOT!! Have a great weekend yourself!

Great question! I was just thinking that as I have a steep 7 acre ROW that I have heavy clover on so I don't have to plant it each year.

I like to kill it...just to help control weeds. I often seed buckwheat into it for the summer.

PlotStart isn't lime (calcium carbonate) and doesn't alter the pH of the soil. It's advertised as an alternative to lime, but it's not. It only supplies elemental calcium to the soil and 40% of lime itself supplies elemental calcium to the soil. So if you use a ton of lime, it's already supplying 800 pounds of calcium.

Hi Ray! You sure do if you just tilled or discord the soil. But not necessarily if throwing in bare, settled soil. In particular before rain.

Hi Charles you do not want to do that. I would kill it or mow it immediately. It will get too tall and too thick...it takes a long time to break down in your soil and a lot of nutrients to do so. Also, it will produce an incredible amount of seed and smother out all other plantings...also too many pounds per acre and too early for planting rye for the year. Just not good all around...

Hi Leo! With the 2-4D, the broadleaf should show signs of wilting within 24 hours...hard to see on cams tho. They wouldn't be brown for at least 10 days to 2 weeks tho

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Awesome. Thanks for the tip. Had Dylan out this Feb for a consultation and we’re elbows deep in the plan. Was great working with WHS

Hi Rick..actually the key ingredients to PlotStart are proprietary...

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 The literature states it's from brine, which would be calcium chloride, a salt. So on that basis alone calcium ions are being added to the soil, which doesn't affect pH. Calling it a “lime alternative” is very misleading and inaccurate unless they are specific about supplying calcium as an ion just like ag lime does. Just specifying calcium from a brine as an ingredient doesn't justify its use without additional information about what's in it. I'm not one to simply accept a company’s word about a product’s efficacy, especially when they claim it's a like alternative, which clearly it isn't. We need some truth in advertising here and not be so misleading. In fact, one of the comments here describes PlotStart as “calcium lime.” If I still had access to a liquid spectrophotometer I could tell what and how much is in it. That would be interesting... Also, there are other liquid products out there that advertise these plant enhancers with probiotics, carbohydrates, etc. Maintaining stability of these supplements is questionable at best.

Plot start won't raise ph long term in my test. But i don't think it's designed to also. I added a gallon to a small plot and the ph never changed. Still at 5.8. Harper growing solutions liquid lime created by a actual farmer is a better alternative.
