Dedicating this thread to all of the folks who do the throw N Mow method...
I have both throw n mow, and traditional tillage plots side by side on one of our properties. I got the throw N Mow done last Saturday and as soon as I got it done we got almost 1/2" of rain on it but it was extremely dry before that. I had sprayed it 2 weeks prior with GLY but I still noticed quite a bit of green in it that didn't look terribly sickly. I limed and then broadcasted the seed and then brushhogged down over it as low as I could without beating rock with the blades...
I didn't get my tilled ground planted until the next day around noon and the ground was extremely dusty when I put seed down and packed. I planted WR, PTT, and Radishes in the throw n mow area and Planted WW, WR, sunflower, and Radishes in the tilled areas...
We have not had any rain at all since I planted the tilled area so my throw n mow should be ahead of the curve with the little bit of rain we got the day before but the seed with no rain in the tilled area is has firm soil contact. Seeding rate on my spreader was the same for both areas.
I know others are well ahead of me on their Throw N Mow for this year and others behind so I am curious how it is working out for the folks who have already gotten it established?
