Is the juice worth the squeeze? - 03/20/13 09:26 PM
I have 400 acres we hunt on out in Comanche and am considering 2 things this spring but both will cost a little money, I think more than I anticipate. and am wondering based off experience if any of you could tell me yay or nay based on cost and actual results.
1) sunflower plot for doves- I have a ton of deer on the property and hear that
a) the deer will get to it
b) doing a quick plant method like I would (I work Monday-Friday 7am-7pm, and lack of equipment) I heard it doesn't yield the best results
meaning if I don't dig up ground perfectly, have 15 different fertilizers and baby it etc because I can't stay out there more than 2 days, and also monitor it
2) pondseal- a product to spread on bottom of my duck pond to make it hold more water. probably cost around $300 for the amount I would need or maybe more. not sure if anyone has had any luck with this stuff, it's basically bentonite with an expansion type agent in it.
I'm only 24 and know some of you have been doing this stuff a lot longer and wanted some feedback on what you think.
thanks
