Peanuts in bahia

[Redman]

Harrowed up a small pasture last fall had a LOT of centipede planted rye and oats in it limed per soil test 2 tons per acre . Plan to plant tiff 9 Bahia I went ag field day they plant common peanut as nitrogen source the grass near peanut was super green . Peanut lasted about 3 years, came back through volunteering. I haven't figured out how to get them planted, except through drilling. Do think it is worth doing? Or, should I plant white clover? Or some of both, in the Bahia?

No I don't think its worth doing. I'd do the clover.

Red clover is prevalent in north Florida and does will. The bahaia will choke out the pnuts

 

[Jogeephus]

If you are after the N you are better off using the white.

I think it is good to have a variety of plants as long as the competition for the nutrients they needed is lessen.

Sounds like a good way to pull hogs in on your field.

You got that right.
I can't imagine trying to really farm row crops in an area infested with them.

No wild hogs in our neck of woods thank goodness . Probably going to do the white clover, and some peanuts. I have had lots of problems with raccoons digging up peanuts planted for eating.
