Anyone doing it successfully?
I planted a .6 acre cleared plot last September with WW, WR, Oats, MRC, CC, PTT, DR and Rape. It came in great this spring and isn't weed free but it's not bad. I'm planning to let it grow all summer then "throw and mow" in September. No herbicide application.
I had a dozer expand the plot above in March, It's between 1.25 and 1.5 acres now. The dozer also cleared a few new plots in March, those total ~1 acre.
The March cleared areas were planted in WW and MRC to get something growing. Some of those areas are very weedy. I had the dozer leave small saplings to prevent pushing top soil off the site. I'm planning to throw/mow BW in June to get some additional growth and to provide a little competition to the weeds.
