Weeds and Why They Grow

[@thesunkistkid]

Great video. Many good ideas we need to implement. We have been fighting the weeds hard but not smart. This spring we planted our first multi species cover and going to drill cereal rye mix this fall to keep it green all winter. Graze then repeat. Thank you for a new perspective on weed control.

Good research,creating conditions for cros and not weeds.can this be still simpler with long duration field crops

By far the most informative video I've watched and attempted to absorb yet. Well done.

Thank you

Thanks for the great video. Straight to the point with succession - that we are attempting to supplant those processes to our own ends.

Send a thief to catch a thief. Thistle needs compacted soil and has tap root, so send a crop that fits that description. Want to control an annual grass that is difficult to control, plant an annual grass killed by winter.

Useful video. Wish you were in Western Australia.

Thanks. Funny you say that. I am just finishing my first visit to WA. Beautiful county. Lots of work to do.

Listening to that got me thinking. Let say you want to prolong your hay field would applying compost tea would help rebalance everything?

[@covercropscanada3977]

Normally hay gets “tired” because the active bacteria populations levels start dropping off. Adding bacterial food would boost bacterial numbers and cycle nutrients driving plant growth. Tom Dykstra in John Kempf book suggests adding 1 pound of sugar per acre per week. Acts as an artificial root exudates. Tea May work. Depends on if it will feed biology not just add more.

Wow! Really got me to thinking.
