This is our 3rd year on the drill. Still a bit of a learning curve to get it right. We were planting the joint vetch(summer), and clover(fall) too deep with the drill. Germination was spotty. Adjusted the drill to basically be controlled broadcasting. We’ll see what happens.
What drill and how deep were you going?
Did you use herbicide first?

We have the Tar River /Saya. Tried without herbicide first, but used a custom built crimper. The depth varied based on the moisture in the soil per each plot. We didn’t make close adjustments for each plot based on this, which I think was the most important factor for the spotty results. This time we used herbicide, then control broadcast with the drill. Just rained some today, and more in the forecast this week. Should see some germination by next week.
