Ok, so I just bought a drill that I"d like to use to put in some oats this spring. I thought it would be a good idea to test it out first. So, I tilled up about 2.5 acres and planted it with buckwheat underseeded with red clover.
For tillage, I moldboard plowed half of the land, then ran a heavy field tiller over the whole thing then drilled/cultipacked. Now that we got some rain, I"m seeing both buckwheat and clover coming up, but it is much better in some spots than others.
The moldboard + tiller area looks a lot better than the tiller-only area, so I"m thinking I might need to run the tiller deeper or go slower. But even the moldboard + tiller area is pretty hit or miss.
Any suggestions? What do you guys think? I"m in central PA by the way.
