Feel free to add any ideas and recommendations for different spring plantings. I had this on a different thread but moved it as to not hijack that one.
I have a 1/2 acre field that was brassicas last fall overseeded with winter rye in September. Usually I have good luck and my fields are green and getting action by May 1 the next spring. I think the brassicas were to thick and tall last fall and my rye never germinated so now I want to experiment with spring planting before weeds take over.
I have about 40 lbs of spring oats, 40 lbs of spring barley, 5-6 lbs of sunn hemp, 2-3 lbs of clover/chicory blend, 5 lbs of hairy vetch and 100 lbs of buckwheat that may or may not be good. Lol. (Wasn’t stored very well). I’m willing to go against the grain a bit on this field as anything is better than bare dirt. I’m also willing to pick up something different if anyone has any suggestions.
I can disk but probably not until mid-May and I can spray. Last frost is around Memorial Day. PH is about 6.2
