I think you guys may be right…..I think m. fungi is also playing a role in helping my seed to establish. This is a pic from a couple years ago of some seed that didn't get covered with thatch. Check out the bottom seed in the center of the pic. It's not even touching soil yet it's still getting...

For the sake of the resource and the movement toward better management practices….its a great thing to have the main stream guys finally getting on board. It legitimizes it to the broader public who take what these guys say as the gospel without questioning it. To say that they’re “doing the...

I've been out here still doing the same old thing....just don't post as much as I used to. Once things seemed to get a foothold I kinda just let it run on its own. I thought that the best thing that could happen is for everyone else to start experimenting and see where all of this can take...

I believe there is some kind of symbiotic relationship going on between clover and dog fennel but I don't have it all figured out just yet. I have extremely sandy soil that's hard to grow clover in. The areas where I typically see clover thrive the most though is often at the base of dog fennel...

Just ran across this thread.....Glad to see I wasn't the only one who got rubbed the wrong way by this video. I thought I couldn't lose anymore respect for this organization but I guess I was wrong. To stand their and present this as your own after all that was posted on the old forum is about...

We shouldn't clump all the native "prairie" or field species together and label them all as "weeds". A weed is any plant growing where we don't want it to be....not any plant that isn't store bought. If you're on a year round program where you plant summer and winter then you could call the...

Draft is tonight at 7:00 central......Think you'll be able to make that? Sent you an invite.....

This will be for the old QDMA League that we've had running for so many years now. We've changed the title to the QDM league though. Our draft was supposed to be last night but one of the teams suddenly dropped out at the last minute for unknown reasons. We need a last minute replacement for...

Maybe squirrels?....The downside of corn is that nearly every critter in the woods will try to eat it.

I agree too. I 'd let it go. Sometimes doing nothing is just the thing to do.

Another update..........

The white stuff is called "mycorrhizal fungi"...........

Here's just one example of what I'm talking about in my previous posts. What is the white stuff growing on these seedlings? Do you have this in fields that have been heavily tilled for years?

Some folks will have failures or setbacks and will ask themselves “why”……others will have similar issues and just blame it on “T&M”. It has worked for countless numbers of people now all across the country. If you failed at it then it was likely due to either your implementation of the method or...

One other thing I would encourage everyone to keep in mind is that this is a long-term soil rebuilding process. It’s not a one time planting where you go out on plots that have been tilled for years and do side by side comparisons with how the first planting comes out. In many situations where...

It’s really no longer a matter of questioning whether or not this method works. There’s been a lot of folks who have had success with it now. Enough to definitely say that it DOES work. If your planting failed then the question needs to be….Which variable in MY situation needs to be tweaked in...

Update.......Field is doing well. Went through a little dry spell for a couple weeks but Nate dropped several inches of rain earlier in the week. Starting to get some nice growth now........

Create a "low water crossing".....I think that would work better.

It really depends on what’s growing in the field and what time of year you plant. Grasses are gonna be you’re biggest issue. Most broadleafs will terminate with mowing if it’s late enough in the season and they’ve gone to seed. The old summer crop needs to terminate though in order for the new...

This is not meant to criticize the OP in any way……..but this is a good example of why you have to understand the principles and not the method. There’s hundreds of different situations out there that will all have a different combination of variables. You need to be able to assess the situation...
