Whats the best way to plant oats if you do not have a planter and all you have is a disk?
About half our oats plots are disced in, the rest are drilled using a no-till drill or pasture drill in disced ground. The planting depth is 1-1.5 inches.
Disced in oats do really well. In this dry climate i wait for a good rain and plant them in soil that has been prepared previously. The old Okies call it "mudding in oats". My oats are planted very thick, about 150 pounds per acre.
Adjust the disc until no seed is showing on the surface and you've got it.
