Grower notes: We really like
the way the blends responded and looked. The diversity above and below
ground is really impressive and important. We probably had too
many sunflowers in this blend. The alfalfa and red clover do not do
well in blends and will be left out in the future. Where there was
good nitrogen available, the brassicas did very well and choked out the
lentils and vetch, but where nitrogen was short, the lentils and vetch
thrived as the brassicas did not do as well. |
