Anybody planted it? I know I can mix my own similarly, but I'm not sure I can do it and get all the pieces to the puzzle that's in pea patch locally. So, rather than ship in this or that I'm going to just try it. Probably will have to broadcast it, but might have drill options available I'm checking on. Also wondering if a 2 row planter would works and kind of double plant between rows? Got about 3-4 acres marked off for it. I have some concern on deer density and it growing but have hope the buckwheat will cover the peas and beans enough to establish.

Also is there a pre emerge I can spray down for it?

I’ve planted it with great results. But that was before I had a lot of deer.

I have had really good luck with clay peas, soybeans, sunn hemp and mix a little buckwheat for cover. You can do it without sunn hemp if you want.

Planted around 15 acres of it last year. One spot done really well and the other two got hammered as soon as they sprouted. The drought also didn’t help the situation.

I've planted everything they sell in a bag, then one year I realized I'd be money ahead to feed protein in gravity feeders all summer. Summer plots are gone in a few days in most cases.

add another 5-7lbs of vetch to the pea patch. after they wipe out the bigger plants, you will have a crop of vetch for them to eat until the first frost.

Spend the money and effort to improve soil fertility for the fall would be my advice

Traditionally, planting is cheaper than sup feeding. But if you have very little area to plant, sup feed is still more expensive, it's just that you don't have enough land to make planting work. Great luck.

I like it. Planted some this weekend but I added a little more buckwheat since my deer hammer it, a little sunn hemp, some okra and deer vetch & alyce clover. Avoided any sorghum in the mix incase I need to spray crab grass.

wont that buckwheat smother it out?
