I am well behind the eight ball on the plots and my buddies crawler is done. so I mowed my plot from last year and the deer hit it and got a few pics. But today I found myself ripping it up again. What should I plant... I didn't get a soil test and reading other posts is the rye wheat and clover a good idea.. I would like to get some brassica's.... but I don't think i can till the soils up enough with the quad and rake....

I'd go with the Rye and clover. Even with low fertility, Rye will do well late into the fall.

Good Morning Forkhorn

Rye and clover would work well, I just planted some Biologic Premium Perennial yesterday. A bit late I agree but it has been so dry here it would not have germinated/ grown much up to this point. You would be suprised at how little you actually have to work the soil to get it to catch. If you have a decent kill with Roundup on your previous growth with a light "scratching" of the soil you should have good luck.

All the best

The deer pics are just after I mowed it down... it looks like the plot was active. Today there was a few tracks in the fresh dirt also.. but what done is done. I put the hole bag of honey hole and the 4 lbs of red clover along with 30 lbs of rye along with fert.. It was a one shot deal because my time is so limited lately. Hopefully it takes :cheers: Your probably wondering why the plow... I weighted the plow after sharpening the cutting edge and was hoping to roll the overburden..... but no dice the kid helped raking by hand today :biker:
