I've subscribed already and I wish to also start sunflower cultivation which I believe I need some important advice on how you successfully manage your field to this glorious extent man its great.I wish to get some few tips from you if you don't mind . My questions are as follows 1) from the beginning before planting what exactly was your steps of planting ? 2) how many days of watering in a week? 3) did you apply fertilizer? If yes which fertilizer and what intervals was the plants before the application of fertilizer? 4) do you apply weed killer? If yes what was your procedure? 5) knowing birds love eating sunflower, how do you keep the field away from birds? Please don't be offended towards the lots of questions, I'm curious to learn and apply. Thanks
I know this is a year old. But great video. Personally I am just getting into farming and was wondering where one would find a seed mix like this. And maybe a video of how mix seed is planted. Thank u sir!
@Cover Crop Kings Quick question, if I were to interseed an Atlantic Giant Pumpkin with a Ryegrass just as I would with corn, how should I do it? What I mean is how the layout should be, since one plant may suck up a nutrient beneficial to the secondary plant next to it. I live in the Southern part of North America, since all parts of the U.S. may have different weather due to the geography.
I am going to try something very similar to this this year!. What my plan to do is the following. I currently have Winter Cereal Rye Growing there where I plan to do this that will get harvested for feed late may/early June. I will then plant the pumpkins, and manage normal, then in late July I will spray with select to terminate any grass escapes that I have. I have to check on the days needed but I plan to then broadcast annual ryegrass to create a mat on the ground for the pumpkins to grow on. I may even push all this up earlier potentially.
@Cover Crop Kings, can you speak to the biological effects of sunflowers? There seems to be some synergistic effects that sunflowers offer corn. I would like to know more about this, in case you are familiar at all with this. Thanks!
I know that they go great together. I cannot explain exactly what is going on but we do know that we are bringing in many more beneficials to the table when we have sunflowers interplanted with the corn.
@@covercropkings539 definitely agree! We have a farmer in our county who plants sunflowers in a summer cocktail and really likes what it does for the soil. We will be learning about all the connections for a long time to come.
Great diversity, great innovation, great job! Keep up the good work, guys.

Do you have to wait for a freeze, so the interseeded crops don't cause too much green matter in the combine when harvesting the Sunflowers?

Can we know the results?
