I spoke with my local supplier and I know its not recommended to do mixes but wanted to double check the below. 30% rye 25% winter peas 25% oats 8% buckwheat 3% rape 3% turnip 1.5% white clover 1.5% crimson Would this be a mistake if I added some additional red/ladino clover to the mix?

I visited the property this evening to start aerating. Looks like the oats are 1-2 feet with weeds throughout. Any issue with aerating, spreading seed and then mowing? Should I spray at all? Soil is a little more rocky than I remember. Should I adjust the mix at all to accommodate?

I would anticipate a 20% slope in the steeper section. I don't plan to till but to use a drum plugger to minimize erosion issues.

Buckly, Can you please provide a little more information? I've measured off one plot at one acre and the other at two acres. I purchased the drum aerator and looking at possibly adding winter peas as well.

I am planning on putting down the following mix next weekend. Any issues? This is on a hillside so the quicker growing the better Oats 25-30 lbs per acre Wheat 25-30 lbs per acre Crimson clover 10-12 lbs per acre Arrowleaf clover 4-5 lbs per acre 13-13-13 Fertilizer 200 lb per acre Ag Lime...

Where can I get winter rye? How much lime should I apply in combination with fertilizer and seed? Any issue with my idea of plugging the soil, raking and then compacting?

What about mixing winter rye with the below: https://www.southernstates.com/catalog/product/p-10145-southern-states-fall-wildlife-seed-mix-50-lb

After opening up a large area on a hillside I planted Oats and Buckwheat in the spring without much luck. I'm looking to put a fall food plot in and have a couple questions: What is the maximum seeding rate of fertilizer/lime per acre? What would you recommend for a quickly germinating crop...

I found straight millet for $36/50 lb bag. How much would you overseed? What fertilizer blend would you reccomend?

Where are you typically purchasing this?

Is there any concern over planting Rye or Millet this late into the year?

I think I have a lead on some local owned erosion control blankets for cheap. Any concern with putting this over new growth?

Just broadcast with ATV over the plot? I was looking at getting a couple erosion control blankets as well.

Would you recommend just broadcasting ryegrass or trying to do some type of aerating?

Would you do another pass with oats and buckwheat? I was thinking about doing a pass with a plugger to see if that helps. It seems most of the growth is in the rows where I back dragged with a tooth bucket before seeding.
