GreenDrake Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Due to weather and other commitments, I was not able to get my brassica plot in. Is it too late to be of any value? I will be mixing in clover, chicory and other fillers too. I don’t want to disc up the area and be hunting over dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I do not think it is too late, the crop farm I worked on when I was a kid would be planting winter wheat or rye now, I think you should get decent results if you get at it.

landtracdeerhunter Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 This late in the game, I planted wheat first covering with about an inch of soil. Spread your brassica seed on top, then roll. The tender brassica plants will give you browse into firearm season; then the wheat should give you a fine late muzzleloader season. All fluid on the weather, of coarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbanfarmer Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Given the warmth it came up nicely and now plan to do another spot with 150lb of rye next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
