[QUOTE="imartin, post: 2606802, member: 106328"] I start spraying in May and try to keep up with it through the summer, but got behind this year. Just me, a 4 gal sprayer, and a 500-600 yard walk from the parking spot. Would be easier with an ATV and 25 gal boom sprayer. That way I could stay on top of it through the summer. Got my brassicas on the ground right before rain in late July. I broadcast seed, spray plot start, and pray the predicted rain comes through for me. I will follow up with nitrogen this weekend or next and broadcast out cereal rye and or winter wheat in other plots and also to fill in bare spots. I also broadcasted some clover a couple weeks back, going to see tomorrow how everything is looking. Easiest things to get to grow that are worth it for a good plot IMHO are cereal/winter/annual rye and brassicas, also winter wheat. Clover is a nice small seed but I'm planning on that more for the spring, but may have gotten it down early enough that I could get appreciable growth this fall yet. Assuming your soil is in good shape, just broadcast those seeds before 1/2 inch of rain and your good to go. I'm up in PA so plan on first frost being late October here meaning I shot for brassicas 8-10 weeks prior and cereal grains in September with rain in the forecast being the most important dictator of when I'm putting seed out. Hope that helps. Good luck, it's rewarding to see deer hammer your plots. [/QUOTE]
