You talking north facing hillside plot? How many hours of sunlight per day?What would be a good seeding be for a shaded plot, it's on a hill side where I cleared out all the undergrowth. It's close to 2 acres.
West slope, moderate sun for half a day.You talking north facing hillside plot? How many hours of sunlight per day?
You are good to go with clover and wheat then.West slope, moderate sun for half a day.
You had me onboard till you said annual ryegrass…You are good to go with clover and wheat then.
I hate to recommend it (because it's such poor nutritional value for deer), but annual ryegrass will also do great in that situation. And if erosion is a concern, I'd def add annual ryegrass.
LOL annual ryegrass has it's place.... it grows FAST and puts down roots to hold soil in erosion prone slopes. It will grow almost anywhere. And for whatever reason, deer love it (even though it has almost no nutritional value). I still use it on newly constructed bulldozed roads in late fall. It can be a bit of a problem as it will reseed itself, but I'd rather see ryegrass on a sloped plot than erosion channels running downhill with all the topsoil at the bottom of the hill.You had me onboard till you said annual ryegrass…
Fall plot blends that include cool season clovers, small grain and brassicas and fertilize them early spring to make them run for summer
