[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5408186, member: 20594"] Update: Mixed barrasica seed this afternoon to create our blend of radish, turnip and rape...mixed seed in a plastic tub by hand and bagged it....plots we are doing in barasica are smaller plots 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre in size...8 barasica plots total.....using kitchen scale I weighed a one gallon ziploc bag full of the blend and it weighed 6.75lb.....so I filled 11 bags....nice size package for a hand spreader ...and it comes out to one bag per 1/4 acre plot...2 bag for 1/2 acre plots. Note: 50lb tilliage radish was coated so it's actually 25lb of radish seed in the blend....which brings it to 4.5lb of actual seed per 1/4 acre....so 18lb per acre is still on the high side...but we are doing these plots using the spray, sow and mow method. Then factoring in germination rates, etc....hoping it's ok...Also mid to late September we will layer or fill in any thin areas with wheat and/or cereal rye. Speaking of cereal rye....hoping it's delivered next Tuesday...on the larger 1 to 2.5 acre plots we are going with cereal rye thick...all of the above in an effort to have green plots this fall into winter.
