Tominator Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Re: I need you help. Well, you've got a lot of time to think about it. First thing I'd do is go and try to find some Roundup that might be on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Hunt Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: I need you help. There are many factors when looking to plant. Ck websites and choose what you want to plant. I planted several different seed so they would mature at different rate through the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lovinbowhuntin247365 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: I need you help. green deer food LOL ... if you do, make somethin to block the deeer from the plot until its full grown ... if not, theyll eat it roght from the buds of the plants, and the plot will just be a waste of money. as to what to plant, i am not really sure what works best ... anything green and edible LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhtr1 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: I need you help. I have the same problem with alot of my plots. You need to find something that will keep coming back. For the summer I use American Joint Vetch. If the deer eat a stem then two will start growing from that so it will take a beating from the deer. I mix it with Alyce clover and both of these can take a good bit of deer traffic. As a matter of fact I bushhog it down after it gets about 2 ft high. I cut it back to 8 to 10 inches. This allows the plot to get thicker. For the fall planting you will have some problems with such a small plot. Again plant something that will keep coming back like a clover. I mix my own but you can get some mixes for your area. I use crimson clover with bob oats and winter wheat. They will hit it hard. All you can do is fertilize if properly and let them have it. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
