Soil Conditioner Test

For the first time we invite you into our Monty’s Lab and see first hand, in a lab environment, and on a small scale, just exactly what Monty’s Soil Conditioner can do for you.

We tested our product on two unique soil types: Heavy Clay Loam, and a Lighter Sandier type of soil. We chose soil types that are fairly common and widely diverse to show you how Monty’s Soil Conditioner can work to eliminate compaction and improve the over-all nature of the soil which will ultimately lead to better drainiage, better water utilization, a more organic structure, etc.

The tests were conducted over a 32 day period.

Surviving the Drought of ‘07

Hello and welcome Inside Monty’s Garden. This year has been particularly tough for the Eastern 1/3 of the country as month after month of drought stress has taken it’s toll. But now, the worst may be yet to come. Dry soils in summer and fall mean that your plants may not be able to weather the winter. What can you do to overcome that stress.

Plus, what can you do to decrease the compaction that drought (and in Oklahoma and Texas - floods) have brought. We’ll look at both of these issues in this edition of our show, and We’ll make a special offer EXCLUSIVELY FOR LISTENERS of Inside Monty’s Garden.

The Science is in on Monty’s Liquid Carbon

For the past several weeks, we have been talking about the benefits of Monty’s Liquid Carbon. You have heard from me, from Monty, and from several others about how this product can reduce compaction, mitigate clays, improve drainage and moisture usage on almost any type of soil. Thanks to some interested soil/crop scientists, marketing hype and laboratory theory took a giant step forward as we recieved our first in a series of test data from a soil and agricultural lab, Wheat Tech. This week, Dennis joins with us as we explore the results of these test, how the science of Monty’s works, and what is on the horizon.

For those of you who are looking for answers for your tight compacted soils whether you are trying to get a yard establish or crack 200 bu. per acre for your corn crop, you owe it to yourself to listen to the science, the technology, behind Monty’s Plant Food Company.

Inside Monty’s Garden w/ Price Allan

This week inside Monty’s Garden we travel outside the garden gate along with Monty Justice. Recently, he was at the National Rose convention in St. Louis, MO, USA; while there he had a chance to find out what trends were happening in Rose circles and he shares that information with us.

Additionally, as the snow has already started falling in the Mountain West here in the US, many rose growers are beginning to turn there attention to fall. Fall can be one of the best times of the year to produce ‘perfect’ flowers; Monty will give you the tips you need to do just that. Once those blooms fade, there a few chores left on the calendar to improve your flower beds for next season. As we say around here, SPRING STARTS THIS FALL; together, we’ll discuss what you need to do to protect from winter kill and to get of to your best start next season.

Is your glass half empty??

In this edition of Fence Row to Fence Row, CCA Joe Dedman talks about yield potential. Did you know that genetically your corn can generate yields as high as 400 bu p/ac, or soybeans at 200 bu. p/ac. It is possible, but not if we keep losing our yield potential to outside conditions. Dedman explains more this week as he discusses best management practices for keeping our glass (our yield potential) full. By using tools at your disposal may not add yield, but you will keep from losing it and when the grain trucks unload at the elevator, those gains pay the same $$ as any increase that you may have tried for.

Spring Starts This Fall

Why now is the key time to prepare your fields for ‘08

Certified Crop Advisor Joe Dedman believes that the fall is the ideal time to head back into the fields and prepare them for next season. In the first of a new series Fence Row to Fence Row Dedman talks about why the next few weeks can be so critical in determining your yields next year, even if we have more droughts or floods like we have experienced this season. So before you park the tractor in the barn and head into the shop for fall chores, take a few minutes and learn how you can make some big improvements with just a little investment of time.

Weeding Roses

In today’s edition Inside Monty’s Garden, award winning rosarian Monty Justice discusses what he has done this past week to make weeding his rose beds, and those of his customers easy. He also discusses the value of magnesium to these late summer blooms.

From hay to HEY!

It has been two weeks since our last entry. Vacation was nice. My wife and I took some needed time to visit Branson, Mo. What was even nicer was seeing the great growth that Mo and Ar farmers are seeing by using Monty’s Fmaily of products on their farm. Nicer still…returning home to see the following article in the latest issue of High Plains Journal, one of the nation’s leading farm publications.

I encourage to take a look at their website if you are involved with, or have an interest in Modern Agriculture. here is their link:

As a native New Mexican/Texan I can tell you this is the bible for farming in the southern plains. Here is the article they wrote:

New technology secures bottom line for hay producers

Monty’s Plant Food Co., Louisville, Ky., introduces Monty’s Liquid Fertilizer.

Monty’s utilizes foliar feeding and HUMIC technology. While both areas had ample research proving their validity, no one had ever combined the two. The one-two punch of amending the plants rather than the soils and adding Humics to the plant profile has sped the rate of absorption, utilization, and prevented burning of tender plant tissues. By utilizing a unique manufacturing process, farmers can now afford to fertilize pasture land.

With the incorporation of Monty’s in their production, southern producers have noticed lowered use of traditional fertilizer, less leaching of needed nutrients, less run off, improved soil condition, and production equal or greater than traditional practices.

Inside Monty’s Garden With Price Allan 6/14

This week things have been getting increasingly dry inside the garden gates, only a few very brief showers have managed to fall and most of our region is about 9″ below normal for rainfall. I know that sounds like a small deficit to those suffering from “the worst drought in 104 years” down in the Southeast US, but it is bad enough for us. The drying conditions and hot temperatures have us focusing on ways to use and to maximize water efficiency. This week during his visit Monty Justice spoke with us about mulch…what kind to use, how to use it and things to be careful of if you are using mulch around your plants.
