dogdoc Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: mowing question I don't think it is recommended to mow the brassicas. They will probably respond just like the weeds your are trying to knock down. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Re: mowing question I wouldn't mow the brassicas. The leaves will eventually shade out the weed. Running over the brassica with a mower probably would damage the plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anderson3 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: mowing question Turnips are brassicas. Okay. I'd mow high if the weeds are going to flower (and thus make seed). Some of the spring weeds grow very fast, and would already have produced seed by the time the turnips caught up to shade them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: mowing question A few years ago I had turnips growing in one of our plots with our clovers, I mowed, they came back fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
