This may be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway. Getting read to plant fall plots for the first time with my SAYA no-till drill. It has two seed boxes (large and small). Up to now all I have planted is soybeans. Simple. large seed box.
Looking at planting some blends for the fall which will obviously have seeds of an assortment of size. Just for example lets say I've got a bunch of leftover soybeans and to give the deer some extra (quick) browse I wanted to mix it with my turnips. For one thing this will help dilute the turnips in the seed bin to maybe help with seed distribution rate. I know the soybeans aren't going to grow much once it cools down so it might work well.
Now for the dumb question. When I mix the seed will the smaller seed stay in "suspension" or will they slowly fall and make their way to the bottom of the seed bin while I plant? My seed bin does not have an agitator. Can I alleviate this issue by stopping and stirring the seed every few passes?
