    Looks like fun! How did you get water there? That would be a nice option to have at times.
    I saw an episode where the Drury bros. brought in a water truck Does a guy need somekind of option like that to help ensure a sucessful plot?

    No but it sure helps when the rain don’t come as promised.

    The pic in Guts post shows a big water tank in the pick up. I’m guessing a gas pump hooked up to the tank with some hose and a sprinkler did the trick!

    I didn’t see that all the way in the corner, thought it might have been one of those “backyard” plots. I don’t think my 20 gallon sprayer will cut it, I spent to much this year, have to hope the old fashion method of watering will come through for me when needed

    I tilled then pelletized lime then tilled again seeded and watered I normally wait a few weeks until it sprouts. Then on a nice rainy day hit it with 10-10-10 But you guys have me thinking more about what fertilizer to use

    Hi Gut, Have you had success in the past with the Perfect Plot and Green Patch? I’m trying to figure out what to put in the ground. Thanks.

    Gut, it often says right on the bag of seed you use, what fertilizer to use!

    Biologic Maximum says to use Biologic PHfertilizer I was looking for numbers
    like 10-10-10 or 17-17-17

    Gut,
    I don’t have my planting notes here but based off of memory my brassica blends have done really well with 120 lbs an ac of 20-20-20. I believe that most bag mixes suggest more than that but I’ve never felt or seen a need for more.
