[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5002677, member: 20151"] For winter cover crops it is very hard to beat the buffalo blend but if you have weeds to suppress go heavy on the cereal rye . It will suppress weeds, hold your soil and provide an insulating cover next spring that will help keep soil temps lower, moisture levels higher and provide browse all winter. The summer blends can be varied greatly depending on your soil needs and personal thoughts. Below is my favorite summer blend. It provides everything. Note that sudan sudex or sorhgum sudex is small seeded and they are light seed so you can get too much easily. It will also reseed to a degree and subsequent plantings will get thicker and overshadow other species but it does produce a lot of organic matter. This coming year we are not planting the sorhgum but are increasing the sun hemp. Sun hemp is a legume, deer will browse it, it runs a deep rooting system penetrating hard pans and producing a fiberous stalk for biomatter.
