Berseem Clover

One last look at the rye before I disk it under. I put that in last fall and it's almost 5' now! It's beautiful. I noticed very little weed growth in it. Kind of a nice benefit. I'll turn it under for the nutrients and put in 25# of Berseem Clover. It's a hearty annual and will grow thick until frost.




You can see I prepped my middle acre by disking it and then rolling the seedbed firm with the cultipacker. It was too windy to seed today, so Monday I'll spread 25# of Berseem Clover and re-roll it with the cultipacker. It's a bit late but I'm going to let it grow until late July, and then turn it under along with the horse manure and put in rape/turnips.



The rye looks so nice I hate to cut it down.
