[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5409397, member: 20594"] I've had barasicas in store blends before but this year we wanted to plant our smaller plots which are 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre in all barasicas....we bush hogged plots first of July then allowed them to grow back up to about a foot tall....then sprayed and sowed.....once brown, with a good heavy rain, the grass and young weeds will lay down over the seed....we purchased our barasicas seed and made our own blend of Tilliage Radish, Purple Top Turnip and Dwarf Rape.....after germination we will review each plot and fill in any thin areas with winter wheat or cereal rye....also, being spray and sow, we know that we won't get seed to soil contact with all the seed so we upped the seed rate a little...but don't overseed too much...they say barasicas that are overcrowded won't grow well....my experience in the past with blends which contained barasicas...where there was moisture they grow good and get to a nice size..dryer spots they grew but never got any size....so be prepared to back them up with wheat or cereal rye...good luck.
