Default RE: Whitetail Insitutes no-plow seed blend

I actually want to plant some of this myself, sounds like it came out halfway decent. Planting it in the woods on a property we bought this summer in the Adirondecks, not alot of light.

Q,

This would probably get a better response in the wildlife management section. I used it and it worked pretty good (some of it got flooded out though). But on the high parts it came out okay. Due to heavy browsing the first year wasn't that great, but the second year (this year), there is a nice bit of clover there.
For the plot, I killed and chopped down some of the cover trees, I used a commercial gas blower to get rid of the layer of debris on the woods floor, then I used a drag to break up the soil a little bit, then spread seed, followed by a round of fertilizer. As usual, the weather is the key. Half my work went down the drain when we got a huge flood.[:@]
But due to the secondary clover growth I'm leaving it alone for this year. [8D]

I only used No-Plow because it was in the woods and didn't get maximum sunlight. If that's your situation, its a good product.
