I've been reading so much from Crimson and Camo and dgallow, that I am ready for throwing and mowing.... I think. Ha
My LC mix worked, new ground opened up and planted in the fall. It grew well and deer ate it well. As things greened up in the spring I noticed some real bare spots and after digging around I knew I had made a mistake.
When my friend came in with the excavator I lost a lot of top soil and after green up it was very easy to see. Spots grew well and looked healthy and spots were noticeably different, both on the surface and below.
I have plenty of clover on my farm so I wasnt worried about killing off the rest of the LC mix, just waiting for the right time to put some buckwheat down.
Before :
I spread my soil amendments into the standing rye.
Here is a good example of a bare spot.
Some looked great.
