The mint field

Nirvana · 06-22-2010, 11:19 AM

I would say corn will be planted after the 4 years.

Is that the overhead center pivot irrigationwatering system in pic 1?

glatt · 06-22-2010, 11:26 AM

there seems to be a lot of space between the mint plants. Do you have to do anything about weeds?

I don't like the cow milk though, trying to grow gas instead...

do you have tenants/employees to run it, jinx?

jinx · 06-22-2010, 11:31 AM

Not much to run atm. It's me, my sis, my dad (who don't live there) and my uncle (who does). Uncle has some organic grass fed beefs hanging out until the gas crop is ready to harvest.

edit: We recently had the zoning changed to tree farm - lowered the taxes by quite a bit...

Nirvana · 06-22-2010, 11:56 AM

That is a pivot irrigation system.
This is the first year so this is called row mint and I took that photo on the edge of the field. By harvest there will be no more space.
The field is sprayed for weeds we had some volunteer corn in it earlier.

Couple pics of my place...

glatt · 06-22-2010, 01:09 PM

Nice place, jinx. That's 6 miles east of my ancestral home (where my aunt lives now) and 4 miles east of the lake where I am a trustee of the family cottage. Real familiar looking scenery.

What is a gas crop?

lumberjim · 06-22-2010, 01:23 PM

glatt, this lake?
