I am (like many on here) involve with plotting! Who doesn't love to play farmer!
My question to many of you, do you feel the more years you plot the more you end up going back to your basics? This year I tried some beans/peas it was ok but not great. I did one plot in clover, did fantastic. What I continue to find is that the more I plant, the more I want to go back to the basics and focus on rotation.
I never have had much of a draw to clover. However i know Legumes are essential to soil. I am really thinking about keeping my plots like below.
1. clover (keep for few years, overseed in fall with oats, WW, WR)
2. not in clover plant brassicas/WW/WR/Oats
I know it doesn't sound great, but I buy cheap oat seed at a co-op and the deer hammer them, and they tend to last. Anyone else feel this way?
