ecmn | Gypsum. I would always hear these people talk about throw a little gypsum out there and your soil will start to change and pretty soon your weeds start to disappear.
First couple years toss it out there. Same old weeds the next spring and you're thinking gosh darn it.
Third year you spread it out there still the same old weeds and you think well this is stupid.
Finally, was it the fourth spring or 5th spring? All the sudden literally a handful of scattered dandelions and pennycrest in the spring on the fields. I have been using it. Compared to other no-till ground that looked like you seated down dandelion a few other people noticed. What did you do to not have such a dandelion issue even in the hayfields?
Cows on grass. In my mind and listening to other people, you put cows on grass and everybody made it seem like within a couple years you'd have this miraculous soil.
7 years later. Jay fuhrer now says I have miraculous soil.
And if we really look at the parent material and the geological history of Southern pine county, Minnesota and you could even zoom out to East Central Minnesota, I refer to it as the geological chaos. When you can walk through a field in every few hundred ft. You're changing through soil types. I think there's four types of soil? I had a map of it.
When you talk to the Dwayne Becks and Jay fuhrer of the world, some of the U of M folks and they see what has happened to the soil. They understand what you're dealing with makes it even that much more profound. | |
