re: Planted summer plots today

If you are serious about doing it then get with a consultant that specializes in this field.

You mentioned “The Back 40”. He doesn’t follow the rule books and he just posted his latest soil test results. Maybe that is good with you. Now, he didn’t mention what type of soil test he got, but typical soil test aren’t what you are looking for/needing in this project.

You mentioned Ray Archuleta, maybe he has a company that can help you in this if you are serious and don’t want to waste a couple years of trial and error.

As far as podcast go, don’t believe every single thing on them. Everyone has different philosophies and different ways to get there. Some may say you never have to use a chemicals others will say maybe you will regarding what you are dealing with. Some have no idea what the native plants and soils are like in different areas.

I will say my chips aren’t on YouTube and podcasts with different views/techniques/goals. They are great and I listen to a ton of them, but not everyone can be given the best advice over a phone. The “It Depends”, is the best advice you can take unless it is dealing with your specific property year to year.
