@@PFHabitat sure is! Finally harvested a mature buck last season on the first week on our family land. Lot of hunting pressure all around me and deer came here like was a sanctuary
One of the cheapest biggest bang for the buck projects you can do as kill off cool season grass. One day i'm going to buy a bunch of native plant seeds and plant and put a fence around it. That's an expensive project, but I could do a small area and see what happens
@davemitchell731 it's fun to see what the seed bed has in store. This was old cattle pasture and it was full of all sorts of great native plants. Which I woulda never known had I not killed the grass.
Nice. I disced up an old open field area this spring to promote some native seeds to grow. I will definitely have to remember to do a cleth treatment next spring on green up. Some say a gly treatment in fall after a couple hard frosts is extremely beneficial for battling cool season grasses. I’ve been reluctant because of the small trees already there. Thoughts on the gly? Good video!
I would do clethodim in the fall after the first killing frost. That way you can ensure only grasses are killed. I have done the glyphosate in the fall, it does work well. But I tend to do it in areas that are primarily just cool season grass with very few trees.
@@PFHabitat I like that idea, but I'm curious...the grasses would have already gone to seed by that point. Wouldn't you be too late at that point since all the seed could potentially sprout in the spring? Or do you find that it really puts a damper on any cool season grasses next season anyway?
For your Boxelder and Ash that is sprouting up, do you plan on keeping their height trimmed down fairly low for cover reasons or do you anticipate letting them grow to their natural heights?
Good to know can hit with Clethodem in fall after good frost. Have some type of grass not beneficial that want to replace with winter rye or wheat
It definitely feels good to get rid of the junk and replace it with something the wildlife enjoy
@@PFHabitat sure does! Been planting fruit trees and white oaks. Plus other habitat work and already seeing lots of improvements
Awesome to hear! It's worth the effort!

Same here! It's nice to give the deer a sense of security on ground you control. They definitely respond
Your getting better with your ideas and videos as you go Sam.
Proud of you.
@@daveguttormson6315 I appreciate that very much!
Always great content giving is hope! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for that Alex!
Awesome!! Great description and overall assessment of the growth. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!

Agreed! And when you do that please share the progress with us!
Question for will cloth kill ferns and Japanese stilt grass?
It's grass specific so it'll work on the stilt grass
That’s awesome! I’m going to try that on a section of old cow pasture we have. It will be interesting to see what comes up.
