Broadcasting on a well-prepared seedbed just prior to rain also produces an excellent stand — the rain serves to bury the seed the appropriate depth (1\/4 inch) and ensures adequate soil moisture for germination. Disking is not a recommended method of covering the seed as it would bury the seed too deep for germination. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0090\/6254\/7552\/files\/Picture2_large.png?v=1553608003\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf1\"\u003ein the south, plant Deer Vetch Plus in mid spring to early summer.
