Frostseeding Plantain

[farmlegend]

Have some multi-species cover crop ground that’s taking it’s time in getting the dirt well aggregated, three years into it. Soils are in degraded long-term row crop ground, on the clayish side, tending to be wet.

I’ve had great success frostseeding clover here in southern Michigan, usually do so in March. Does anyone think it would work to frostseed plantain into this plot?

Fall plant it. You've got lots of time to do it yet.

Thanks SD. There’s an existing cover crop in there now, I’ll try boadcasting plantain seed into it mixed with some cereal grain.

Will reserve some seed to experiment with frostseeding next March in another zone and report back on how it works out.
