Cover crop advice required


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for some recommendations on a cover crop that will last through to the end of January'.

This is a family pheasant shoot with 1 shoot day in November and 1 shoot day at the end of January.

It's a totally organic farm so any cover crop has to grow without and be free from chemicals and fertilizers.

What do those in the know recommend

How long is a piece of string ? Choices Choices. If you don't have a big population of badgers then maize stands well and can be inter rowed with millet.  A good lashing of cow muck will keep maize happy.  There are a selection of ready made mixes from a number of suppliers which will do this job.   A dozen rows of maize on the down wind side of prevailing winds and a few rows of millet on the outside of that should do the job. You can cut access into the maize for a few feeders.   But as I say choices choices.
