How to plant oats correctly

It is recommended to prepare the area and simply scatter the planting material. For ten square meters of soil, take about a glass of seeds. Afterwards, it is worth going through with a rake.

If you plan to start with early crops next year, then mow the oats in a timely manner and dig them into the soil. If not, then you can postpone this procedure until spring, which will only be more beneficial for the plot.
