Winter Cover Crop. 11.13.2021
I have not tried this mix before. I've grown buckwheat as a cover crop. Deer love it.
This seed covered 1/2 of the area where I want to plant sweet corn next year, and where I grew squashes this year.
I don't know if this is too late, or how they will do, or if deer will eat all of the plants, or if they will be too weedy. It's an experiment.
I don't want to leave the soil bare, or encourage thistles, so it is worth a try.
Today was a break in rain. It should rain again over the next several days. That should get them settled in and starting.
Here is the seed mix:
Austrian Winter Peas
Winter Wheat
Triticale
Forage Collards
Hairy Vetch
Daikon Radish
Fenugreek
Crimson Clover
Berseem Clover
Yellow Mustard
