seed combo,s

[oochee hunter]

What is yall,s favorite seed combo for fall plot,s? Trying to get a notill drill but may have to spread and cover with a harrow. Include lbs per acre if you give a response. Thanks

 

[Gadestroyer74]

Wheat oats and rye grain @ 100lbs an acre drilled. Clover at 5lbs an acre
Broad cast rates I would do 150 lbs an acre and 15 an acre on clover

 

[Bushhog Bob]

Abruzzi Rye, Oats, Austrian Winter Peas and Crimson Clover. About 80 lbs per acre drilled.

 

[Long Cut]

Durana clover
Medium red clover
Crimson clover
Chicory
Abruzzi Rye

I never buy a mixture with grain and clover I buy separate and plant separate.Best cheap seed is crimson clover (10 lb) and winter wheat( 25 lbs)

My standards

And make sure you always calculate the PLS ..... pure live seed, to make sure you are putting out enough.

 

[SouthPaw Draw]

Wheat, oats, clover, purple top turnips and Daikon radishes. Make sure you put out the right amount of fertilizer too, see it all the time where people go short on the fertilizer. Planted mine this past weekend.

Just curious? Why do you choose to plant separate? I mixed some Durana in with my fall mix this year in some of my plots? I also took some I had left and broadcast it with the fertilizer spreader.

Old timer once told me that most people do it wrong and use too much seed and too little fertilizer!

Wheat needs to be1" deep for best germination.Clover is 1/8 ". I usually just top seed my clover.

Also better to put the proper amount of lime needed even if your short on the fertilizer.

Spot on and a soil test never hurts either.

I assumed a soil test.I do my own now.Bought a kit off Amazon for $50.. a few years ago.

What's latest y'all would do a wheat / clover mix?
Got some bottoms I hunt behind some layer houses that the farmer bush hogged some strips thru and thought it'd be good to plant some strips.
Planned to spray this weekend.. North east Ga

 

[deers2ward]

I bush hogged 3 weeks ago. SPraying this weekend. Will plant in mid Oct
Gonna plant wheat/rye and crimson clover. No more oats for me after what happened last December

 

[Canuck5]

The end of October? You still have time, but I would prefer to plant sooner rather than later. Wheat will germinate with soil temperature at 38F and clover around 41F. The longer you wait, I would shift your clover selection to arrowleaf.

 

[OffTheBeatnPath]

Thanks fellas.
Gonna get the ball rolling then

 

[Crakajak]

If you haven,t bushhogged yet you can direct sow the wheat and clover,then bushhog over the top.Its like putting straw over fresh sewn grass seed.

Is germination rate high that way?
Do u usually spray beforehand or fertilize?
I guess u would just want to overseed it this way?
