Guest Defcon15 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 We have a bunch of 2-3 acre clover plots on our property; however, I was thinking about making some small strip food plots in places where we cant put a big plot such as through some woods. I was wondering if any of you have planted some small food plots like this. I was wondering what type of seed I should use for this type of situation. It would probably be in a oak grove or something where there is some sun. Also, I would want to use a push cart so I don't want a seed that needs to be drilled or anything. Also, I was wondering if I should probably harrow the ground first. What seed would most likely be most productive in this planting fashion?

AvonLKHunter Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Small Foodplot Question!!! I have one on my property, I tilled up the ground with a tiller hooked to my 4-wheeler. I used Bio-Logic maximum which is all Brassicas and also put some wheat in with it. It was up in 1 week, now it is doing great, the deer won't hit it until the first freeze. Gives it plenty of time to grow. Good luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Re: Small Foodplot Question!!! I first recommend a soil test. If you have not plowed it before , then I would break it up deep before discing it. Broadcast you sedd and drag with a small harrow or something similar. I use Tecomate Seed Company products and just started this year, but they have a good website and reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Re: Small Foodplot Question!!! Great advice given by TexasDeerHunter. There are many good seed blends out there. I never drill any of our seeds in. I use a drag made from chain link and some metal pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
