Canada THISTLE ...... Grrrrrr

7/13/2018

0 Comments

 
The PLAN to combat Canada Thistles is to cut and bale them as hay for the grass fed beef.  Once baled, the land will be worked (two-way disc) and calcium* will be sprayed on the land.  Calcium softens the soil and changes the chemistry with the idea to make an environment where thistles simply do not want to grow.  Mechanical methods might rid the area of thistles for a short period of time, but it doesn't change anything in the soil.
Stay tuned to see how this works!
