Real world deadly dozen

[Hawk32]

Anyone ever plant this through a Genesis or PH drill. I broadcasted a bag last year into tilled soil and had an amazing plot but was thinking of drilling it this year but with the varying seed sizes not sure if that’s the best idea.

Never have tried that blend.

Hawk32. Out of that blend you planted last year, do you " really" think all 12 species germed and grew into a viable plant?

 

[Hawk32]

I guess I have no idea if all 12 germinated but I now there were a lot and it was one of the best looking plots I’ve ever had and the deer hammered it. I’ll have to look and see if I can find the date on this picture.

Looks awesome!

I’d like to see the seed bag label. It’s probably all seed you could get from Welters. In my experience timing and rain affects my plantings more than anything. And sometimes you hit the seed rate and planting depth just right for your conditions. I’ll say it again though, it really looks good and I’d be hard pressed to do anything different with results like that.

Yes, just a big mix of cereal grains, brassicas and clover.
