Hello I signed up to ask this. This is my first time growing Einkorn so Im a little overwhelmed and not sure whats best. Hopefully some of you have some suggestions.
I have 5lbs of hull on Einkorn and 1000 square feet was tilled for me yesterday. My biggest concern is planting time. I was planning to plant this fall but now Im worried that it wont grow well here in SW Missouri (Zone 6b). Do you think it will hold up during winter or would it be best to plant in the spring? Ive read conflicting information about Einkorn being a winter wheat.
Also Im worried about grass growing back especially if I wait. Im thinking about spraying to kill the remaining grass or maybe covering it or running my small tiller as needed. I had to pay someone to break the ground up so Id really like to avoid having to do that again.
Ive never grown any wheat before and never anything on this large of a scale. Any suggestions would he appreciated.
