Okay, cool, thanks. I know conservation will provide a seed listing, if nothing else. It's just a big investment. I didn't say this earlier, but I'm definitely going to do a test spot this year and see how it goes. I'm not able to drop serious cash on seeds without knowing how it's gonna go, to some degree.
I'd be interested in trying some plugs. I'm just lucky enough to have some equipment, so I can turn over some ground pretty quickly.
Rough about the septic, comrade. I replaced mine last year.
I actually don't know how much I need in terms of weight, but something around 300k - 350k Sq ft for that field. I don't know what I'm doing with the rest yet, but that's where I'm starting.
Also, this xerces guide is neat, I'm looking through it. And thanks for the seed place. They pretty reputable? I don't want something invasive mixed in.
Yeah, that's the direction I'm in. One thing is that I don't know a ton of places like what I want to do. I'm worried about if I just let it grow if there's something that should be in there that isn't, or if something invasive will take over.
I really don't know much about local resources beyond department of natural resources and conservation. Although, I'm sure there are some bee groups that might know of something I don't.
Well, it only gets cut like once or twice a year now. There's some stuff established, but it's really big for me to be going through and taking clippings. Possible, for sure, but with a few small kids, my time is at a premium.
Idk, really. I'll see who gets back to me from local offices.
I do have a tractor, which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, my beautiful old gal is going to the tractor doctor, but trying to get her ready to plant this fall.
Yeah, I talked to a department of natural resources guy at the state fair, and received a free packet of wildflower seeds, but I need like a few hundred pounds of it. I gotta email some people.
I'll check these links, hopefully find a good seed mix.
God, I have a ton of lawn. Few acres of it, really. Got quite a bit more of other stuff. I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do with it.
Right now my back field is just all grown up and a guy cuts it for hay. I'm planning on a wildflower meadow back there, and keeping some bees. Gotta get my tractor ready and all planned out to see what I'm gonna plant and how I'm gonna do it.
The lawn portion I'm not sure. My food plot will go there certainly, but that's only so much. Maybe I'll tear it out and do all clover at first. Idk. I'm open to suggestions.
I just really don't want my kids around any dogs, which is why I disagree with just letting any of them roam. A dog snapped at my kid's face and now we're both afraid. Dogs just aren't people. They get upset and bite. I don't mind people having them, but yeah.
Oh, I don't know. I love having kids. It can be a lot, but nothing really touches the feeling of when you come home from work and they all rush to see you. I could see it not being for everyone, though.
Seriously. This will be a controversial issue to a handful of freaks online that will mention it in the same breath as litter boxes in school restrooms. I put this under: guaranteed I will never see this discussed offline category.
If I'm not mistaken, this is referring to a bill that requires tampons to be stocked at Minnesota public schools free of charge, which is nice,. My wife is a teacher and we buy certain things to keep stocked in her classroom: tampons, deodorant, blah blah.
The kids really use em too. I don't care to buy it, but I'm sure it's much nicer to just have it done through the school.
Frog and toad are great. My oldest asks for one about every night.
A lot of Julia Donaldson, who did the Gruffalo and stuff. Good books, enjoy them. Her reading the audio books frightens my kids for whatever reason.
Been reading quite a few of Karma Wilson's Bear series. All was going well until I found she had a book on animals going on strike and calling it quits after realizing how good they had it. Bear ones are still good.
Thanks for this. I have been meaning to call them. I know they do stuff like this.
