Thanks, Keith and Davis. I really find these types of videos each year to be very resourceful. You cover a great variety of cover species. Nice to see the background (planted green) crop in this video for comparison. I am not a farmer but in the forestry sector and use products for erosion control and bank stabilization as well as pipeline/roadway abandonment planting to deer/ wildlife habitat opening or cover. Please, do not stop producing this type of video. 🍁👍😎
Nice work Keith! Particularly liked the Vacuum Mix, we had exactly the same experience with our "Hoover Mix" a few years ago, I just wish I had the recipe!!!
I’m growing bloody butcher corn. Similar to the jimmy red I think. My dad looked at it and said they sure is some tall corn! He said the tallest he seen was in the early 50 to mid 50’s. Said they rode a horse to pick it.
My father has what I think is called wire worms that attack his garlic roots and which destroys the bulbs. Is there anything that you'd suggest on how to deal with this pest? Maybe mustard and till it into the soil to fumigate?
@@GreenCoverSeed thanks for reply. I’ve been breeding a tomato designed for that purpose. I crossed the sun gold with the Florida Everglades and have been selecting for early season competition with grasses. Only year 2 in my trials so far but a “weedy tomato” might be a great idea for your milpa.
@@GreenCoverSeed I appreciate the interest! I’m growing in Branson, mo. Unfortunately, I need my seeds for my trials. Perhaps, this year I will save more and send you some. I’m calling the variety “the Voelker tomato” after my father. The goal is to be a weedy tomato that you can plant once and it will reseed itself year after year. Still needs work… but you may want to try the Everglades tomato or other cherry tomato varieties for this purpose.
Great question. I would like to also know if fertiliser was used. Unfortunately there hasn't been a reply. If the answer is no then that would be amazing. Ideally low or no inputs apart from seed cost and direct seeding and mechanical termination like crimping is the final goal. The savings on inputs would more than outweigh any reduction in yield as well as having numerous benefits.These guys will never be on big agri-chem's Christmas list and the best of luck them.
Like y’all’s straight forward assessment of the different plants.
GREAT VIDEO!!
I’m so excited for the summer release and your partnership with Dr. Woods and Growing Deer! Keep up the good work.
Be blessed all.

Great cover crop information!

Ever thought of cultivating a wild tomato for a cover crop?
I have never considered that one as a cover crop. We do not have those around here but it is worth checking out... thanks for the suggestion!

@@SteveNoverini We would love that idea... do you have a few seeds you could send us for our summer plots to see how they would do?

Are you achieving this growth rate naturally or are you adding fertilizers?
