    I'm wanting to just throw in some clover, rape, wheat, oats, etc into this green plot of Clover/Chicory, etc....Will the seed work it's way to the ground and germinate and be of any benefit....See Photo for review
    Thanks

    Absolutely it will. I usually seed pretty thick and also if possible try to do it just prior to a rain. The rain will help to push it down to the soil. If you have a roller you can roll over the clover and that will help too but is not required. Good luck.

    I don't know how you're going to rape wheat and oats but I'd say if it makes ya happy go for it.

    If the oats have been in the barley they can't consent.

    Does barley raped even count?

    Would not hurt to mow and rake first for maximum potential, then barley then rape considered sewing some oats?
