See my noise makers ! They did a lot of good didn't they? This is the bigger part of my plot beans are big enough I don't think the Turks can clean it out.  |

hunter7x,
i thought you put your beans in a little early. most of the guys i know put them in first of sept or they get eaten off before the season starts like yours did . lol you plot looks nice. is that oats you have in there too? i planted oats once in Aug and we had a lot of rain and they grew to full height and matured out before the Oct season started. rabbits cut it down and ate it. h.h.

Hunter7X,
I haven't heard of the Irish Spring trick?

The Irish spring thing came from some friends from Missouri. It seems to have worked so far. I haven't had much of any sign of deer in the plot. When it got real dry theres not much smell that comes for them. The noise makers on the other hand... were kinda worthless...lol
hh, I'm experimenting.
This plot is in 2 parts, the old part is 1/2 clover which the deer cleaned out right before I put in the grass and beans. The picture with the long beards is from that old part of the plot. The turks cleaned the beans out of it.
The other picture is from the new part of the plot, which is the biggest part. The beans are growing strong there. If I plant beans next year it will be later. And I knew you thought I was too early from comments already made. lol No problem, I'm new to this and it's been a very gratifying experience regardless of my results.
I'm getting ready to redo the rest of the old plot to put something down for fall and spring.
Was thinking about Chufa for the Turks, you had any experience with that ? I don't hear many talking about it.

Nothing wrong with experimenting. My first couple of plots didn't work out as good as i wanted. What i did learn was perennials didn't work as good for fall plots as annuals planted late summer. Perennials are clovers and the deer use them more in the summer months. I found deer like to eat young tender plants more than older and tougher plants. You replant those beans in early Sept and you will have deer all over them the first part of bow season. If you can find a hand rower like they use to plant corn in a garden and make rows in your plot and plant beans again you might be surprised at the deer you will have come Oct. h.h.
