I was out and about over the weekend getting my fall plot seed and grabbed a Whitetail News publication by the Whitetail Institute (it was free so what the hell). Now I know many of us here are not fans of BOB seed, but I still like seeing what is all out there (and sometimes the small quantities and ease of a BOB product is tough to beat). They said 10 lbs cover 1/4 acre @ $30+ a bag.
This new product of theirs is a fall annual mix of: sweet lupine, oats, winter peas, sugar beets and annual clover.
looking for input/experiences from you guys on the lupine and sugar beets.
I am not familiar at all with lupines.
I thought sugar beets where more of a summer annual because of the growth cycle they needed to mature. I have read they need 120 to 200 days to mature - that is more than the corn on my place needs.
I didn't buy any just interested when some company starts tossing seed out that I'm not as familiar with. What I did buy was PTT, some different rape seed & some radish - I will apply some rye a little later.
