No growth on the 1047.5 last night. Nice warm temps, fertilizer had been rained in. I don't know why plant seem to shut down in late August nearly every year.

I piles a bunch of chopped leaves and grass around next year's state fair hoop house. Poplar trees are already dropping leaves. Walnuts are too, but I won't use those leaves. 2 other hoop sites treated with mustard and then rape/radish got mowed and tilled. I packed them with the riding mower and they got rained on, so it should seal in the gasses. More spots will get mustard treatments next year.
