Lancaster, OH | You'll get more in and it will be easier with the peas. Here in Ohio we're using Austrian Winter peas and they will kill of with the winter weather just like the radishes. Clovers, on the other hand, will require a more agressive turndown and I don't think we've seen as much N.
Dave Brandt is planting with a 15" planter using sugar beet disks in his planter on every other row for the radishes planting them at 2#/acre. Alternate rows are the peas but I don't know the planting rate.
Be sure to inoculate the peas. We offer Nodulator which is a new pea strain that is very aggressive in producing nitrogen so you'll see a lot of nodule mass. It comes as a dry or liquid. You need to order pea specific inoculants now as they are not real available as you get to your planting date and many, including all of ours, have an expiration date before you plant these. Get the inoculant, store it in the basement and you'll be fine for an August planting. If you ask for it in August, you'll have more difficulty in finding any or it will be blended inoculants where you'll get many strains of rhizobia but not large amounts of any.
Hope that helps. | |
