I have a couple small clover plots that I would like to put some fertilizer on, and was wondering what would be a good mix. I know I should do a soul test on them, but that's just not gonna happen right now. I allergen help. Peter

Looks like winter rye to me as well

What crops do you have?

Appreciate the pictures

Good to know, I know what I'm doing next weekend

Do you spread all of this into an established clover plot? Do you just spread it and let the rain do its work on getting it to grow?

Thanks for the replies guys, I have some ladino so Im happy to read it does good in sandy soil. Plan is to do as little tilling as possible and throw n mow the clover. I figure even if it takes a little extra seed, its worth it not to disrupt the existing root system.

Whats a good clover to use i the sandy soil of central WI?

Thats what I use

Forgot I had this picture, you can kinda see what it is like.

This stuff is like furnace dried so all the weed seeds should be burned up.

So I have access to a trailer load or two of dried manure. I was thinking of mowing the plot, spreading it onto the plot about an inch thick, and planting my barasicas right into the manure. Its a smaller plot, about 2000 sq feet in the woods. Does this seem like a good idea? To answer a...

That was pretty cool!

This sounds like a better idea. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Where do you get Ammonia nitrate, any coop?

I have a small plot I will be putting barasicas down in about 2 or 3 weeks. We have a prediction of over an inch of rain tomorrow, so I was thinking of putting down some Urea tomorrow morning and letting it work its way into the soil. I assume that it will be around to help the barasicas later...

What a bunch of crap, there are no big deer left in WI! Nobody should ever come here to hunt. Peter

Well the germination test went great! 8 out of 8, 2 seeds fell out when putting in bag, of the soybeans sprouted, and 9 of 10 of the sorghum sprouted. Doesn't get much better than that. I got them planted last Saturday and we have gotten some decent rain, so we'll see what happens.

I don't remember ever reading that people spread winter rye into radishes and turnips in August, but I like the idea of that! How well does the rye germinate if the leaves from the turnips are big? Might have to give it a try this year. Peter

I was able to find the info sheet on the seed mix. It says the grass only gets 3 to 6 feet tall. We'll see how the seed test goes, and if there is decent germination, I'll put it down with some Urea and see what happens. Thanks for your input guys! Peter

Germination test started with 10 of each, we'll see what happens ina couple o days. Peter
