wannabe_keeper Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Are there any late cover crops that could be put in now to be up for mid October? I think our two little crops are going to fail as they were drilled so badly!? If so does anyone know where to get hold of something?

ColinF Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 All the main seed suppliers sell late sown cover crops, often called catch crops. Have a look on the Kings website, they do quite a good range, including mixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepersboy Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Kings do a winter cover mix which can be drilled or broadcast and its quick growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
