dogdoc Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: plots are planning on planting two plots? A warm season plot and a cool season plot or just one plot that you want to cover all seasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: plots summer annuals---my favorite warm season annual is iron and clay cowpeas. Very palatable and very high in protein. They will get overbrowsed if planted in a small plot. I plant them with a mixture of soybeans, sunflowers, millet, milo, and a forage sorghum. A great plot for both deer and birds. My cool season plantings include a mix of wheat, ryegrain, triticale, vetch, rape, and purple top turnips. I also have a one acre plot that I plant a winter brassica mix made by hamann farms. good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhtr1 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: plots Im from Ponchatoula and I have you coverd on this one. For the summer plant American joint vetch mixed with alyce clover. Use 0-20-20 or something simular. For the winter use a blend from Pennington seed called Mississippi Complete. This is a blend of two clovers, wheat and oats. Use 13-13--13 for this. lime in the spring and fall. I will be planting my summer plots at the end of april. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else. You wont find anything better for us down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Re: plots In a commercial mix for annuals, lablab plus performed great for us for a late summer plot. Wintergrazer rye from pennington is a great winter seed to mix in with whatever other annual you plan to use. This fall we plan on planting more of the wintergrazer along with some brassicas, possibly the hamann farms blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
