I know a lot of guys are having good success overseeding brassicas into a dead field. anyone ever over seed light brassica into an established clover plot? figured a few turnips would keep the deer in my plot. However, i dont want to damage my clover plot.
Unless the clover is thinning it won't work very well, if at all.

Plus, brassicas, with thier large leaves, will shade out the clover. Wait until the clover starts to finish its course, then plant brassicas to eat up all the nitrogen.
We are doing this with tillage radish to break up the hard pan soil. It seemed to work pretty well. I don't know why turnips would not do the same thing if seeded a little light. We have problems with weedy grasses in the clover. To take up extra N that weedy grasses love, we are over seeding with rye/oats one year and radish/turnips the next. Right now we need to get a good grass kill though. Good luck. Let us know how it went. "D"
