Sow brassica fodder crops by end of August

Posted: 22nd August 2012

This valuable short term catch crop can be sown until the end of August. Stubble turnips and rape grow very quickly so from a planting then, you could be on grazing in the middle of November, providing excellent winter keep. The seed can be drilled into stubble, a good dose of slurry or FYM before planting will help this hungry crop.
