    Kinda disappointed about my plot screen. I had to mow it all down and retill and replant a couple weeks ago. The farmer planted soybeans in my tilled perimeter like I asked him not to do which made a huge competition for the plot screen to compete with. The areas that don't have beans in them are already 7-8' tall, the areas with beans are only 4' at best. So I tilled the entire perimeter and replanted and its growing nicely now. Doubt it will be as tall as I wanted this year which SUCKS but oh well.... Anyway here is my fall plot. I planted a half acre in Monster Raxx Last Heart Beet. So ultimately I have roughly 4.5-5 acres of food plot this year. 4 acres of beans, half acre of clover, half acre of beets/turnips.

    Looks AWESOME. I have to be honest, i actually think the plot screen growing up in the soybeans is pretty impressive given the amount of moisture beans use! Its much taller than i would have expected!

    Those beans look AMAZING... Can't wait to see how the brassica turns out.

    How did that hand seeder work for you?

    Been looking around and pretty much every small seeder has terrible reviews.

    ^hand held seeders work just fine. I've never had an issue with them and we have 2. Not sure why anyone would have a problem with them

    Works fine on small seed and not completely overloaded. I broke one this year already running fertilizer through it on my clover plot. Handle is plastic and I stripped it out so now it wont bite hard enough to spin the spreader disk. I think its a good spreader though when it comes to clover, turnips, grass seed, ect. (light seed)
