Default RE: Mixing Seeds

You do not gain much planting fall rye with spring oats. Oats release a chemical that inhibits weed growth, including rye. At best the oats offer some spring food - its largely ignored by deer in the summer (same with spring planted, or wintered over rye). Fal planted "winter oats" &/or rye is a different story though.
