Sitting there peeling it and slicing off some to eat while watching the deer eat the tops. Used to put turnip seed in my plot out the back window. Fun watching the yarded up deer coming in the late winter trying to get them out of the ground to eat them.

BilletHead Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 That's why I skin my turnups. Maybe that's why they grow so well. Fertilizer!

Would even take them home with me so you wouldn't have to mess with them. What's your nightly rate and disposal charges for armadillo control? Also mileage and per diem.

Every time I've had them out where they can get to them, like I said, one morning they would just be dug up, eat up and gone. Never seen one/them do it but do know they have that ability!

I like me some armadillo damage control. I may pay you to let me take care of them. Think is they are not a game animal. Only kill for damage control. I was told to do what I have to do but to dispose of them discreetly. You should see what the .25 cal PCP air rifle will do to them. The best deal was a few years back while Pat and I were getting ready to go teal hunting. I seen a pair under our apple tree. I had a machete handy I crept over and got one on first swing. The other got confused and started running in circles. It took two swings and that was that! We had less Japanese beetles last year and not so much yard damage now. Not many grubs to dig for I suppose.

Deadstream Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 We always planted Turnips in Northern Michigan when I was younger, acre or more next to the acre of red potatoes. We harvested the turnip greens(love them) and let the deer have at them. They would dig down thru the snow after them and it looked like a rototiller had been in there. Great late... season place to fill the freezer. N9BOW and BilletHead 2
MOPanfisher Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 I for one hope that the one silver lining in COVID 19 is that it wioes japanese beetles from the face of the earth. Last year wasn't nearly as bad but for a couple of years they really hammered my orchard and everything else. I still have plenty of Malthion left for them. Also some grub killer I will uae. I absolutely hare them things. N9BOW and Terrierman 2

Xenophobic?? or you got the skinny on Entomology whispers that we should be coughing into our yard where them larva are plotting their offensive????? Sorry.. feeling a bit giddy... Got my tiller tines off and the oil seal out and ready for the new one to arrive tomorrow, got the red and green and jalapeno peppers planted and the mature Romas planted.. so I am loafing now on OAF stirring the pot
