New plot


Recommended Posts

I Have a some property I lease they just got finished with a bunch of gas lines and drilling for samples. Most of the spot are 20yrd wide and run 300 yrds all of it is clay. I was thinking of planting Oats,winter wheat,winter rye and I was going to get some sugar beets and purple top turnip and maybe some winter peas. I need any feed back I never planted any of this stuff I need some seed rates. And sense I am straped for time will lyme and fertilizer do any good at this point.:drink:

it takes a while for lime to work but before you spend the money on lime i'd do a $15 soil sample to determine where your pH is first. Fertilizer is a must and you can do that at time of planting. 200# per acre of triple 15 or something close to that will do you fine.

You seed choice is just fine.

75# of cereal grains (25 of each)

10# of winter peas

3# of brassicas (turnips/beets)

all per acre and you'll have a nice plot all winter and into spring.

good luck
