Throw and mow ftw. If you have good organic matter and pH, the fertilizer issue solves itself.


I just don’t see how this is supposed to work and what is “several years”? I’m assuming I know the practice you are talking about, where some guy started “crimping” the weeds and then no tilling it. What about trees? The prairie used to have fires all the time, so why can’t you just burn it off?

I just don’t see how it can happen over 3-5 years. I can see that practice leaving a “marginal” amount of N, but not 100lbs/A of N.
It is hard to wrap my head around, but I ain’t no Soils Specialist.I believe there are going to be studies starting next year on it, IF they get the grants.

I’m no soil scientist, agronomist, or ecologist either, but this is nothing new. I think this has been studied for decades. No need to wait for any studies.

I don’t want to derail the thread but the soil test that was in the best shape nitrogen-wise was one we’ve never planted, disked … anything. Our worst 2 are one that we disk for doves and one that was recently cleared of pines and had much of the topsoil scraped off in the process.
