Fall cover crop

A surprising amount of late summer buckwheat survived the rabbits and low fertility of the adobe soil.

Last week, after weed whacking the buckwheat, I broadcast 3lbs. Triticale Trios and 3 lbs. Common Vetch into arroyotitos. Timing was great -- had a 24 hour rain. Will have to rake/stomp seed since arroyos filled with rain water. My MS limits the amount energy I can expend so I rely on nature and overseeding. Will see how this experiment fares.
