Subject: why not oats and radish?


Seymour, IL
Dan
from some of the posts you have, you are willing to experiment it seems.
so what would be wrong with a seeding of oats and radish?
it would establish early, typically good fall growth, and terminate with a hard freeze.
should provide a mass to help keep soil in place, but admittedly not green in the spring.

perhaps you have tried this and found it to be not successful?
One of the greatest things I struggle with in the entire CC discussion is the lack of a positive impact to the bottom line in many (most?) cases. the ability to graze for livestock is a huge benefit of covers, and one that can turn profits in year 1.

best wishes, and good luck with the covers.
