That’s what is was worried about, think I went a little lite this go around. I was really rushed on time and was just trying to get some seed in the ground before the rain this weekend. May have to reseed some areas.

I mix mine in the hopper with a drill and mortar mixing auger, I use scale and make a reference mark on a bucket for 5lbs of each seed. I just fill the bucket to the reference mark and dump it in the hopper.

I’m not sure how they survived the winter and heavy spring rains, but the peas and beans I planted last summer/fall didnt germinate. They came up the last week or two and are blooming and actually doing very well. Hope they last a good while and the animals actually get to benefit from them and the hogs dont destroy them.

Looks great radar. I was going to plant a similar mix w/o sunn hemp next week but got another 2” of rain and can’t get the tractor in there to disc until it dries up.
This fall plot (oats, wheat, clover,winter peas, daikon) was looking pretty good Friday. I mowed it down a few weeks ago to chop the radishes up. I like to put in a summer crop, but maybe just leave it until the fall?
