[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 6296506, member: 441"] Why not try a mix of seeds when drilling? Sort of hedging your bets and seeing what likes your conditions best. But you've made me nervous now cos I've just mixed seed for the drill tomorrow including sorghum for a similar purpose. I'd not heard the toxicity thing before but the sorghum is only 1 of 10 different species in my mix, so I would think any toxicity will be sufficiently diluted. I hope.... Maybe pearl millet instead next time... I would think you'd need to direct drill to have a hope of a reasonable take, unless you get good rain afterwards. Gabe Brown talks of it in his book and says good seed to soil contact is important for success. Was thinking of spreading a good coat of dung on mine right after drilling. [USER=79]@Great In Grass[/USER] may be able to help you with seed supply. [/QUOTE]
