5 year old buck +
USDA Zone 6B, western NC mountains. Elevation ~3k. Planting date 04 September (later if no rain in the forecast). I like a diverse plot and have decided on the species below based on threads on this forum and others. This is a no till broadcast application. My plan is to broadcast seed, spray 2qts GLY per acre, then cultipack. I might mow as well. I may terminate this crop in mid May 2021 and plant a summer mix. If it's not terribly weedy, I might let it go until fall planting season 2021.
Below are the species I entered and LBS per acre that the Green Cover Seed SmartMix calculator recommended:
MRC 1.7
CC 2.63
Frosty Berseem 1.17
Balansa Fixation 1.46
Aus winter peas 7.31
Hairy Vetch (AU) 2.93
WW 11.7
WR 9.51
Oats 14.6
PTT .88
Radish 1.17
Rape .88
Sunflower 1.17
BW 4.39
I'll fill in any bare spots this fall with cereal Rye or WW.
Recommendations appreciated.
