What kind of wildlife seed mix?

[Turkeygirl]

We want to put some type of wildlife forage-grass/clover/etc...around the pond and I plan to put some under the apple trees in our woods, as I'm going to try and make a little food plot thing for the deer and have a ground blind set-up for archery season. Anyway looking for something perennial obviously and sprinkle/rake it in type of thing. The pond bank will probably be mowed every now and then...

Any suggested brands and forage types to look at?

Thanks!

I wouldn't plant any grass in the plot. There are several clover/chicory blends out there that would work great for you.

Martin has a good blend. If you want to purchase locally then I would get a clover/chicory blend from Evolved Habitats.

Thanks for the overwhelming responses,lol.

Thanks dogdoc. I was at the feedmill today and picked up a bag of the Evolved seed mix...ProGraze I think it is as it has perennial clover/chicory mix. Can't wait to see how the plot works out over the spring and summer.

the prograze will do you well!!!

Yep, if clovers is what you want I would give the hamann farms grower mix a try.

That durana is some good stuff although it produces better the second year. Imperial clover does really well, too. If you're going to have a lot of shade, the subteranean clover is excellent. They developed it in Europe to grow between the rows of planted pines in the Netherlands. Double the seeding and fertilizer rate on whatever you plant and you and the deer will both be satisfied.
