Ideally I'd want to establish cover crops in two scenarios
After winter barley and after spring barley.
I'm in north east scotland so WB is cut early August, and SB cut late august, early september.
I dont want to be growing brassicas, to keep club root down.
I'd like to have something that can be grazed in early spring before sowing the spring crop.
What are my choices? Will I get anything worth growing from a spring barley stubble cover crop?
I could broadcast on after dessicstion and before harvest if that provided a decent enough germination
