Tecomate Ultra Forage
I've recently planted some tecomate ultra forage, I prepared the ground well and everything. I was just wondering if others have used this seed mix and what their personal thoughts were. Any input would be interesting! thanks!

I planted it last year and considered the plot a total failure. The plants barely came up and those that did the deer just ate immediately. Maybe others have had better experiece

I had great success with planting and growing, but there deer didn't ever eat it. It's mostly T rape, not much bulbs, all tops. The deer were in it early, but never hammered it. Can't figure out why deer weren't on it after the frost. I planted earlier than this though. You should still be ok as long as we don't get hard frost till mid Oct.

The rain? Unless it is on a hill and you had flash flood type rain, it's a great thing to get a downpour after planting. Hell, I try for that. It puts the seed in excellent contact with the soil. Good luck with your plot, mine grew great, the deer just weren't interested. I am trying the globe/bulb type turnip out this year to see if they like it better.

Ben - remember last year in northern PA? We had about 8 inches of snow on the ground in October. That May we also had a late frost that killed all our apples. :s6:

Yep, my oats were peaking out of the top of it. The deer were still on them.:)
