bigbear09 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I live in northeast pennsylvania and looking to put in a food plot. The ideal spot is covered with ferns and some kind of small fruit plants. What kind of product should i use that would be able to produce a good crop?

dogdoc Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Do you have equipment to work the ground. You need either spray all the vegetation (ferns) and once dead disc the ground to create a nice seed bed. Another option is to just mow it down very short and then work the soil real good. A good fall blend would be a mix of wheat, rye, oats, winter peas, and brassicas. Check with some local co-ops/farm seed stores--they may already have a local pre-mix that will work good in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear09 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have a tractor that I can use to backblade the area. Is there a better brand of mix to use, like biologic??? What works best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to use a pre-mix from biologic for the fall I would grab their Green Patch Plus. A good product but you can mix your own much much cheaper. I don't think you will see a big difference purchasing from a local co-op or buying the pre-mix seeds when it comes to annual plots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
