Did you chop straw on top? How long before Harvest did you broadcast? Will you be trying it again?
i would wonder if some seeds would go 21 meters that maybe the down fall in some cases
Going for oats and mustard. I have never seen grain go through the back of a combine and not grow. I honestly think broadcasting has a lot of benefits. Take advantage of an extra two weeks of warmer weather to get crop growing, also no straw or chaff covering seeds at the start. Will know more in a few months!
probably thinking of non grasses here used as a mini break between winter barley and winter wheat. Broadcast on 15th July should give a fair bit of growth by 1st of August?? Have sunflower in my head, maybe some buckwheat/phacelia/linseed plus what ever else is cheap to make up a mix. Similar sized seeds might be important to get a more even spread?? Cheap is crucial I think in case it doesn't come well.
I can't see that linseed and phacelia would spread off a spinning disc machine.
Barley definitely @Chae1, oats not sure. Just sown some fodder rape last week with the sulky at 18m. Is there settings for your machine?
I ll have to check kuhn website. Always get great germination out back of combine so should come alright.
Are mixes likely to get separated when put out with a spinner? As in heavy seeds get thrown further?
