Fall Planting - Clover & Brassica Mix

Not to sound like a Whitetail Institute Commercial - but if you are interested in their products - you might want to keep an eye on our success/failure with this plot. On July 5th (2 weeks after a local farmer baled it) - I Roundup sprayed a section of Pipeline - Just under an acre of what was Orchard Grass and Timothy. The section is roughly Boxed in red at the far end of the pipeline in the picture. The plot is 1/2 Imperial Whitetail Clover and 1/2 their new Product "Winter Greens" Which is a Kale Based - Brassica Mix.

The hill is Southeast Facing - and a great setup for a Kill Plot - which is what this is to be ( as well as provide a decent year round food source of course).

1 week after Spraying:

It took about 3 weeks for the sodbed to be 90%+ dead - then we disked and planted on July 30th. We cultipacked - then seeded - then cultipacked again. 200 lbs/acre 15-15-15 was added for the heck of it.
