The taller weeds are ragweed (bad), underneath lambsquarter is growing!
2010 is proving to be an absolutely perfect year for growing pheasant cover in our pens. Our pen crew is actively managing the cover crop – weedspraying where the ragweed is growing, and selectively mowing lanes for the young pheasants to be able to see the sun. By combining highly fertilized ground (think about the nitrogen content from the phesasant manure) plus sandly well drained soil, plus a warm April and May plus lot’s of rain – we get a jungle of cover!
