Take a hoe and a rack back, work the ground up a little, lay the seed, rake to cover and walk on it to pack it down. Growalot used to do it, and you saw what she grew.
A local feed store ought to have common rye. Just as good as your higher price seed. Think about planting some Field Radish with it. Maybe will see your pic on here with a big New York rack this fall.
Do you have good luck with Spypoint? This year I got a Spypoint Solar -W and haven't put it out yet. Looks like a good one. How low of light conditions will these operate in?
I got a Spypoint Solar-W; 48 MP software. Looks like a nice little compact cam. Like $120 on Ebay. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. Theft in this area is so high, I don't want to loose it.
Soil type has a lot to do with drought. Humus in the soil help retain moisture also. My heavier soils are fairing better than my well drained sandy soils. The way the field was worked earlier this spring also helps to retain moisture. Fields of no till look better here than tilled. Corn on the higher drain lands are start to show signs of bad wilt, mid day. Crop insurance is a good bet, this season.
Several more aluminum signs missing on our other farm except 1/4 mile from the house. Took their time and pulled the nails with something. Boards still there. They don't steal paper.
for the withering plants. Dryer that a frogs hair here. Not as bad as a popcorn fart yet, but it's getting there. Irrigation keeps things growing; nothing like a natural rainfall to perk those plants.
The only bucket seat that I liked was the one WNY. mentioned with a swivel. I won several at a firearms show, years ago. Be careful with the white lawn chairs out of the garbage. UV. with make the plastic brittle. Ass over tea kettle in a hurry.
I just couldn't take hours of sitting on a milk crate. A little tough on the tush.
I also like my Rivers Edge tree mounting seats in my no theft zone area. They were like $25 when I bought the first.
My son has the black one in the picture. He likes it quite well.
What kind of hunting chairs do you like? I have four of these for portable use. Two say Pepsi on them that I picked up at flea market for ten bucks. Lightweight and easy to carry. I do like to take a cushion for some extra support.
You did the shipping the last time, I don't mind shipping them out this go around; if it's alright with you and the rest. That way, we know their shipped.
