I read on this site a while back about combination cropping. This has got me thinking ad I want to try some.
I have decided this year to try a Wheat Faba Bean combination. I hope the crop competition should keep weeds suppressed.
My main concern is harvest. To thrash the wheat out of the heads I will probably smash up the Faba Beans. I think getting the wheat and beans separated should not be to hard, and even if I do have problems at worst I will end up with some great quality sheep feed.
Has anyone tried this before and got any tips.
