I went to a corn field, a field that is known to be harvested very late in the season. There was a big mean buck, he was snorting and did not want to leave. I was afraid, I was concerned that he may charge at me the way he was snorting.
Some parts of this field are no good, there is HPS light pollution on one end and MH on the other. I found some blind spots, south of tree lines.
The northern tree line (yes still south of the treeline) had almost zero signs of herbicide. The southern tree line had signs of herbicide and this is what I am very much inquiring about.
What are peoples experience with herbicides? I could see that most of the spindly leafed plants were just toasted, new weeds of a cabbage nature were growing up. These cabbage like, well they might be similar to dandelions if not those. I did prep a plot in some bushes at a park that I had to abandon due to a trail moving to close (thanks to a grant, donation or boyscout project). The same weeds just grew huge with my fertilizer and soil conditioners.
It is hard to find a future location, since woods are unstable but fields are not great either. I still have one plot at the park, that is away from a trail. I have not worked on that plot this summer, it usually takes three to work it in nicely. Plus it is a long haul with lot's of risk, this corn field is a easy breezy hike.
There are groundhogs, deer, no human paths near these two southern facing (and growing rows of corn east and west every year), one spot very low if any herbicide, the second tree row had signs but weaker herbicide than the very south of the field.
I guess the worst things about this possible location, is the ground hogs (dumb but strong, might ignore scents, crush a small fence or tunnel underneath), Deer (one mean ass buck), herbicide and that this corn was not as tall as a field in a populated area. I'd grow in that, but I get concerned about people walking around and thirty plants in that is not nice to lose. I might put a few in that, but I get very attached.
Any consolidated advice, for corn growing would amaze me. This is not for this season, this is purely work up.
