I decided to go all out with this little chufa patch: It is only 1/4 acre - I took time to actually measure it and figure it down to the square foot. I put 150 lbs of 17-17-17 on it and 16 bags of pelletized lime, then used a whole 50 lb bag of seed. Anyone would tell you that was too much of everything except the lime, but I don't think they are too thick. I have seen regenerated chufa fields that were too thick, but I don't think I have ever seen one grown from seed. There are just too many critters in the woods that love to eat chufas. The turkeys dug up a lot of the seed before they came up, and there were coons in it too. Both will dig up small chufa plants to get the tuber, and they got a lot out of this field. But the varmints still aren't finished with them. I checked today and I am still getting damage. There are a lot of places that look like this: pic uploadI've always thought this type damage was done by crows. There are no visible tracks, but I can't think of anything else that could do this. I thought I'd ask the aldeer experts.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
