Do you hand plant your okra ?

Yes Sir I do.

 

[Milkman]

Yes Sir I do.

Have you ever heard to drop the seed from the height you want the stalk to be ?

 

[Crakajak]

Sweetgums are fun. Roots shouldn't be any more than 30" deep. Then they come back.
Can you smear some roundup on them?
Well next time anyway.
I got one growing up in a bush. Probably kill the bush getting it out.

I cut the sweet gum off about 12" from the ground.Take a paper towel and dip in straight roundup.Put paper towel over top of stem and secure with twine or a rubber band.Kills the tree and not the schrubbery.

It had actually come down a little the last time I looked. Maybe $80 for 2 1)2 gallons. Sometimes you can catch it on sale.
I usually mix it about 3 oz to a gallon
4 oz to a gallon will kill privet easy.

Don,t forget to add surfactant to the TSC glysophate.

No haven’t heard that one. I’ve had them tall enough that I had to carry a long stick to pull them over to reach the top pods. Seems like@cracker Dave suggested cutting the top off about two feet high to get them to bush out.

I did that once and the okra only grew 1 " and died.

Once mine get 6 ft I top them and make them bush out 3 times the pods and don,t have to reach for them.

About the time they get head high it’s about time to bushhog them, after you get next year’s seed.

Another hot and tiring day today.
3 pallets of block loaded,along without some other items ...headed to Putnam County.
Weedeatted the underbrush area and sprayed with TSC glysophate.
Should be dead within a week.

What's that do?
I've never messed much with chemicals, I'm new to this.

I always let the pods in late August dry on the vine ,then bring inside for next year's seeds.

Yep as long as they get dry before frost kills them you’re good

It makes the chemical "stick to what you spray it on.Waxyplants like ivy,poison oak,sweetgum trees etc.
You can also use original dawn dishwashing liquid at 2 oz per gallon of mixed product.
Roundup brand has it premixed in some of the bottles.

 

[Crakajak]

Once it cools off a little more I need to go unload my truck for tomorrow.
Lots of tools I been using that I don,t need anymore.

We use surfactants a lot in aviation. A lot of water settles in fuel run through the wings. Without surfactants the water will be in huge blobs in the bottom of the tank. These can cause engine issues of course. Adding surfactants makes the water mix with the fuel and burn normally.

I have 2 or 3 antique stalk choppers. Do you have a couple of mules ?

Me and Bow both want a pair but I spec we need to drop a few birthdays first. My mower and disc harrow will take care of those stalks.

I bet a John Deere mule would pull that with a little modifications of course.

 

[Crakajak]

Later errbody.

I never have. Never had any issues.
