Green Cover Seed.. Your own mix?

Those shipped seed places are good for hard to get low poundage seeds. I like many others get my grains and common stuff locally. Pre-packaged seed blends are like a frozen pizza. You can get most of what you need, and just add the good stuff to it like more meat and more cheese.

I broacasted a pheasant blend last year, and it mostly didn't take because of aggressively fed clover. But I did learn a few things. Flax can grow up through my clover, and jap millet can punch up through my clover.
 
I see millet in your pic. I planted a 1/3 acre plot of virgin ground that was previously timber land with pearl millet. Bad soil conditions but that stuff came up and very thick. It’s thickness and drought conditions led to an unsuccessful throw and mow in the fall. I don’t think it was a total failure though because I suspect the millet helped the soil conditions and hopefully my frost seeded red clover takes off soon
Yes, pearl millet that's left to grow to maturity has almost too much bulk fodder for throw n mow. A great soil builder and screen planting that's fast growing and drought resistant.
