Default RE: food plot help

ORIGINAL: Cougars09

how much would it cost for all this, also i want something that when it dies the ground will be able to return to regular grass the next year if need be. When do I plant this? also what about commercial food plots such as biologic and ones of that nature
I would reccomend a product called Shot Plot from Evolved Habitats.

It's a brassica blend (turnip family). it's $14.99 for a 2 1/2 pound package that would plant a quarter acre. The problem, as I see it, with using clover is the deer are likely to hammer it before your hunting season opens next fall. With brassicas the deer don't usually get interested in them until after a couple of hard frosts, or until other natural browse is gone. Brassicas are an annual and except for a few volunteer plants they won't be there the next year. They are usually planted in July, just before a good rain.
