Finally a little moisture overnight and that inspired me to broadcast my Brassicas today, about 3/4 acres in a figure 8 shaped plot planted with Oats in the Spring. The laid down thatch should help retain moisture and some what shade the young plants when they emerge.
Once the seed was down it was time to give the Mini-Crimper/Roller its first test. All in all it did what I expected, the stems were about 14 to 18 inches in length mostly yellow but some were still in various shades of green. Each stem looked to be crimped about midway thru and about 4 inches apart, before next year I will probably replace the water with sand for added weight, it may do even better then.
