hi,
it is spring here in New Zealand, and we are trying again to contain our pigs in a movable structure in order to have them dig up our patch to plant animal food (grains,
root fodders etc.)
I have read in detail this article on growing wheat, as well as some others I can't source:
http://www.agriculturesnetwork.org/magazines/global/monocultures-towards-sustainability/how-to-grow-winter-wheat-the-fukuoka-bonfils
From what I read, you plant the winter wheat as soon as possible after mid-summer when the days start shortening again. It seems you also only need 4 plants per square metre.
What about the other grains? I also have some barley, oats and rye that I was sold as suitable for winter planting but did not get planted out last autumn. Do you plant them at the same time and the same distance apart?
I am also asking a question about growing temporary beds this style in another topic.
