Plan b for the wheat patch sounds good
Plan b for the wheat patch sounds good
another what would you do? question(s)
1)so today I got everything all disced up..looks good a little thatchy but good enough Tomorrow I have a Big n Beast mix supplemented with extra Daikon radishes and I found a leftover bit of Crimson clover..
question: would you bother harrowing them in? reason I ask is that my Harrow is pathetic its better than nothing abut after reading about people over seeding them into beans & such I wonder..why bother if it has good dirt contact?
2) I was piddling on a water crossing.. the drainage after those big rains we had about has made the ditch unpassible but to get there I went through a little plot say 50 yrs long x 20 yrds. Every Year we put it in wheat..its just what we do around late Sept. its good for at least 2 deer a year and has had a nice Buck taken out.. some might remember Sergeant Major bringing out his then puppy Rebel to help track it down..anyhoo I look down and in the grass there is a decent stand of clover..mostly Ladino but with some Aslike thown in ( my standard mix) so I assumed that maybe it was left over in my seeder when I spread the WW..its too nice of a stand to kill off for WW so I wondered..maybe throw some of that BnB/Daikron, CC mix in there as well then mow letting the thatch cover it and see what happens?..what say you?? or just go and get something else to try that I can throw and grow??.. ground is perpetually damp and gets minimal sun in the summer

no on the harrow and thumbs up the thatch!!
You could harrow to help bust up any dirt clods you might have after disc-ing the plot, then if you have a roller or culti-packer it helps to firm up the seed before you plant your brassica mix... then cultipack or roll it a final time to press the seed down for good contact.

Your good! When working with small seed less is more when it comes to the brassicas and clovers. Hopefully we get some timely rains in August...

We are in a all to common stretch up here . It is dry while one can plant larger seeds like cerial grains and they might wait for water the small seeded turnip and radish etc are toast if we get a little rain but then it turns dry again. The real problem is that when we get a deal maker rain it somehow sneaks past the weather people.
