wtnhunt Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Re: best no till seed? Have never personally tried any no til products, but sounds to me like a good possible place to maybe try some secret spot. Just not so sure about how much sun you will get in your lanes or strips.

dogdoc Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Re: best no till seed? i've never used a no-till blend. There are several on the market and I'm sure they are all good products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WhiteTail Institue has "no plow". I've tried that seed at 2 locations in 2 different counties with the same results. The deer didn't touch any of it, even during the winter. I feel like the brassica plant they use isn't well suited for the carolinas at least its not good to hunt over. Its also 30$ to plant .5 acre. I'd use "throw & grow" or "no till" from EH. The makers of "Shot Plot". I've never heard anyone say their brassica wasn't platable. Throw & Grow Brassica Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest generallee Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Re: best no till seed? Ive had my best results with whitetail institutes no-plow. Ive also had decent results with biologics "hot spot". I tried the "throw and grow" last year, but it never really took well. But i cant past judgement on it b/c nothing really took off last year in my area due to lack of rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Re: best no till seed? I would use secret plot if you were going to use one. Ive hunted on a friends property last year that had great results with the secret plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anderson3 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: best no till seed? The lanes are pretty narrow, and sunlight might be a problem for most seeds. Still worth a try. I use dutch white clover on my woodland trails; not the greatest food plot but it germinates easily and seems to tolerate some shade.

LETMGROW Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: best no till seed? I believe too many people expect too much from No-Till blends. They are by no means a substitute for proper soil preparation. No matter what you plant, the PH has to be within spec. and fertilization has to be correct. The more time you spend prepping the soil, the better the results will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
