Oats & Radish Mix
Oats & Radish Mix is a mix of high quality oat seed and Scav-N-Ger radish. Scav-N-Ger Radish is a daikon type radish that mixes well with small grains and grasses. Scav-N-Ger Radish also has a deep taproot with fine root hairs, making a great earthworm "magnet" and repositions nurients throughout the soil profile. Works great as a first time cover crop--prodces a lot of biomass and dies over winter. Oats are a cover crop favorite becaus of their rapid fall growth and fibrous root system. Oats winterkill at 20-22 derees F and help protect other overwintering crops. This mix also makes an excellent soil tilth builder and nutrient scavenger. Plant at least 6 weeks before a killing frost. Plant at 45 lb/acre. Makes an excellent cover mix preceeding corn or soybeans.
