Bowhntr Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: mixing it up Just do like we do and make it two different plantings. Beans or peas in the spring and maybe a mix of Buck oats and brassicas for the fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Re: mixing it up Have had better luck planting clovers in the fall here. A good commercial mix of clovers for the fall is the pennington clover and rye supreme. Penningtons wintergrazer rye could also be used with other clovers like hamann farms grower mix, which we have also had good results with. Would try to include brassicas for a good winter mix. Spring plantings, I would go with an annual like beans and peas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Re: mixing it up I used turnips this last fall and the deer really mowed them down. I had a mix of purple top turnip, chicory, and rape. The rape and chicory didn't do so well because of lack of rain, but the turnips came up good and the deer love them. Also the deer won't eat them until a heavy freeze so it gives them time to grow into a good stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
