I've done most of the planting at the club for the past five years. I've proved that T&M works but the boys were reluctant to switch over completely. We had a baby in August so they missed me when it came time to plant. After all the dust cleared, they said we're doing T&M next year.

It's been so wet here at home that I could never work my plot to plant it. I did till it about a month ago and very little grass came back up in it. I decided last week that I would just spread the seed before a rain. I spread wheat oats rye ladino and Crimson clover. Got .7" of rain on it that afternoon. Went check and everywhere I look the seed is sprouted and has set a root. Sprouts are about 3/4" tall on wheat oats and rye. The clover has the little curly sprout also. Calling for another good chance of rain Wednesday night. Should fix it up good. Hoping it will be green by next week.

We've got a little 100 lb spreader for the back of a 4-wheeler. I think we'll probably be spreading a little 34-0-0 here and there at the end of each weekend hunt as the season goes on. A few acres after this weekend hunt.....a few more acres after the hunt in a couple weeks, etc....

Here's one of my radish fields in front of my shop. It's not as big as my others but there so much tonnage out there no way they can eat it up now. My son and I stop counting at dark Sunday and had 40+ out there. I never planted much radish/clover before mixed but I'm sold for now. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/BiIbujf.jpg) I will not lye. I am a bit envious of that plot.

I planted some WMS Alabama blend this year and it has diakon radish in it. My fields here at home they are 6-8 inches tall and pretty. At the club they nipped them off as soon as they come up and you can't hardly find one in the fields.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

I am pleased to say that two of my TnM plots are doing great. One had to much grass for it to establish and I tilled it and replanted it today. This method has also kept the turkeys from eating all the seed out of one plot. Last year it looked like a sand box. The turkeys are ruthless in that sandy soil. This will be a method used by me from now on.

Any of y'all planting on clay? My 4 plots at my lease are half sand half clay. I've tilled the last two plantings but am thinking of going tm this spring forward. Discing it too much trouble.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

T&M should work well as wet as this fall is. But in a sun exposed area on a dry year it's gonna burn up if no heavy cover over it.
