Product Information

Although these crops will stand some heat, they are normally considered cool-weather crops. Plant them in late Winter or early Spring for a spring crop or in the late Summer for a Fall or Winter crop. The seeds of Turnip are very small. The seedlings are fairly small and delicate as well. Scatter the seeds and rake them in or plant them thickly in a straight, narrow line. Cover the seeds about 1/2 in. deep. Very thick stands will have to be thinned to allow for good root formation. To ensure good germination and emergence, frequent, light watering may be needed. Crusty soils will retard emergence and a poor stand may result in these soils.

If the weather is dry, irrigation during the root development stage will give the best quality roots.

Early season weed control is essential. When rows are used, shallow cultivation and hoeing are effective. In a wide bed, pulling the weeds is sometimes the only solution. This should be done when the weeds are very small. Hoeing and cultivation also keep the soil loose and friable around the plants, enabling them to produce large, well-shaped roots.

Turnips will thrive in many types of soil. A loose, friable loam will allow the best root size and formation. Good drainage is essential, but dry soils should be avoided unless irrigation is planned. Soils of moderate fertility will produce the best crop, although proper fertilization and pH adjustment can overcome lack of natural fertility.

*Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.~~~

Plant in the fall or spring at a rate of 5 - 10 lbs per acre. This seed needs to be at a depth of 1/8 - 1/4 and prefer a pH of 5.5 - 6.5.


A soil test should be taken to determine the soil pH and nutrients needs. The optimum pH for turnip production is 6.0 to 6.5. Apply lime according to soil test recommendations at least three months prior to planting, to adjust the pH to the proper level.

Soils that are infested with root-knot nematodes should be avoided particularly for the Fall crop; these pests will cause deformed roots. Do not plant Turnips after other cole crops.

A soil test is always the best method for determining the fertilization needs of a crop. Add additional nitrogen when the young plants begin to put on "true leaves," or after a heavy rainfall. Avoid applying too much nitrogen, which will reduce root formation. Broadcast fertilizer over the whole planting area a few days before seeding. Sidedress applications should be placed at least 3 in. away from the seed row.

It's funny but cheap
My cat does enjoy chasing the little fluff balls around and then batting them for a few seconds than looking back at me for more. It's good for some good laughs and entertainment but the fluff balls and little plastic shooter are honestly dollar tree level quality. The shooter has one flimsy spring and looking at the placement inside it seems like something that'll fall apart pretty fast. Not worth $11 or $8, this should be >$5 easily.

Dangerous
Size: 30 Pcs
My 1 year old cat loved to chase the balls, but who ever designed these balls should be ashamed of their selves. They balls are to small and easy for the cat to chew on and swallow!!! My cat just got done with an extremely costly surgery because he swallowed 3 of the balls he must of hid them somewhere because he usually did not play with them unattended. Never mind the pain my poor sweet baby just went through. I would never purchase something where somebody has not tested the size and shape of something to make sure that it is safe for an animal, sad to assume that somebody would create such a toy without checking that out and putting a animal through this nightmare. This is the first time in my that I have ever done a review, but I would never want somebody to go through what my cat and I have just experienced. Had to him to the emergency room on a Sunday to a follow up appointment at the vet on a Monday and then another follow up appointment on a Tuesday to redo the ultrasound to on Wednesday another appointment to check them and then him having to go in for an emergency surgery on Thursday. The problem is, he didn’t eat them all at one time so they obviously were sitting in his tummy until he started getting sick and throwing up. I will be checking into this company a bit deeper as well, so please be aware and don’t ever purchase something like this.

All 3 cats say 5 stars!
Size: 100 Pcs
The cats love to chase these balls. And it comes with 100! Which is the perfect amount. So far the gun is still working well. I just find you need to barely put the pom pom in after cocking the gun. If you push the pom pom all the way in, it wont shoot. More often than not though, I just throw the balls for the cats. The gun shoots them very far, the cats enjoy chasing them, but they prefer to jump up and try to catch them, which they cant do when I use the gun
