Default RE: Can this be done?

don't bet on it. Walmart hopes that you'll try their magic "throw & grow bean" for $7-10 for a "patch". For this money - they figure many will decide its worth a try.

If its truly a woods - then it won't grow much. It'll germinate - and make a could 100 lbs/acre of forage - not the 2000lbs/year one deer needs to feed on to survive.

Very, Very little can be grown to really feed deer in a woods environment. You need at least 4-6 hours of non-filtered sunlight to grow the most shade tolerant forage -

Don't be sold on the "treestand patch" concept.
