I eased up to my camp after the rain passed Sunday morning to mow and do a few chores. I did throw and mow with joint vetch and Alyce clover about a month ago and the weather has been ideal with the right kind of rains at the right times.

Hell yeah Jon!


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Put a tall exclusion cage on it. You’ll be surprised at how high it grows.

I’ve had it get 5-6 ft inside.

I have a cage laying to the side. Just hadn’t put it back up yet. They are often night and day and really show what’s been eaten.

10 4 do they usually start hitting the vetch later in the year?

Has anyone sprayed their vetch ? Got some sickle pod in mine and wondering if the usual legume friendly herbicides are OK. Have Butyrac, Pursuit and Basagran available.

I have not, Kbush. I’m considering a clethodim treatment to retard the grasses but my plots have a variety of forbs that are being used now. I’m spot treating horse nettle with a backpack sprayer.

If you’re trying to build soil you really don’t want to grow crops of pure legumes unless maybe you just have a heavy, heavy crop of mature cereal rye to counter it with in the spring or something of that nature……Those legumes have a C:N ratio of about 10:1……They arent adding any carbon back to the system…..Its basically just burning "fuel"......In comparison mature cereal rye is about 82:1

I actually thought sickle pod was in the legume family

It is a legume. Butyrac label lists sickle pod but one application may only suppress it. May require repeat application for control.

I checked one of mine today while getting a cam working. The deer are annihilating it! I will be surprised if they let it make any peas.

Have a little stand of vetch coming up in the bed of my truck. Surely it’s doing well in my fields.
