[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 325567, member: 983"] I have done several minimum till plots with varied (usually low) success. We have a creek bottom that we really can't get machinery into so it's the best option. We usually spray in the fall and then again in the spring. The overwinter period helps to get rid of a lot of residue. Then drag with an ATV. Broadcast, drag again, and then YOU MUST USE A ROLLER! Soil to seed contact is the huge thing here. Broadcast at a high rate too. Best success has been turnips and radishes in terms of growing, but the deer didn't take to them for whatever reason. Cereal rye also worked, but the deer won't eat the heads once they mature. But the deer loved it before it headed out. There are awnless versions but I could never get the seed. Next try will be winter peas/oats mix, but they will require an ATV disk to incorporate the seeds further into the soil. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
