What time of year? Spring, Fall, Summer? I know we plant fall wheat and oats, where up North they plant them in the spring. I can't seem to find anything about planting it here. Nor where to find seeds local. Shipping might be a deal breaker. miles


Early April in the Martinsville VA area. I get it from Hancock Seed - Just over a buck a pound and free Shipping (25lb bag).

I'm mixing it 10% into my fall brassica plots this weekend and Labor Day weekend as a nurse crop.

Wildone's advice is solid. You can also do what he says without tillage using a cultipacker if you want to fork out the $800+ bucks for one.
