Car tire numbers are explained using the letters and numbers printed on the side of the tire. These numbers tell you the tires purpose, the complete dimensions, the total load/weight capacity, speed rating and more. These specifications are referred to as the tire code.
Organic Soil for Turnips. Clay soil is high in minerals which are good for turnip growth, however, clay is a very dense material and inhibits the growth of tubers. To solve the problem, mix 1 wheelbarrow of sand into a 100 square foot section, and mix it in well. When mixing clay, be sure that the clumps are broken up and mixed with the sand.
Lean toward varieties that produce more âgreensâ than roots as they will work best in food plot situations. Several seed companies market turnip and brassica mixes that are more suitable for deer and food plots. Turnips can be planted as a stand-alone crop at a rate of 5 lbs./acre. They can also be planted in combination with other forages such as clovers, chicory or some type of cereal grain.
