i do food plots like gabe mixes his cover crops. i am in nothern michigan. frost seed clovers in spring, buckwheat in late may. mow over the top of buckwheat like a mulch. then seed ceral rye, oats and radish in august.
Hi there i have a question if thats ok . we recently purchased a property and before finding out about no till decided to till it over (i know dumb huh :/ ) we only tilled the once but this has unleashed dormant bindweed seeds that were hiding away . see this is where it gets tricky our soil type is sand (not the sandy loam) just sand with temperatures as low as -22 f in winter and as high as 85 Fahrenheit in summer with the last frost around May 15th and very little rainfall . This is going to make you scratch your head :D we basically need a cover crop mix that is winter hardy,drought resistant & sand loving (mission impossible) . buckwheat and sorghum is the go to here for sandy soil but the minute there is a frost its bye bye or it just shrivels up due to summer heat. this land was extensively tilled for many years and is now just covered in moss . any help would be much appreciated. thank you Gabby
This is what we need to incorporate in our agricultural practice to be really sustainable....thanks for sharing your knowledge..
