Default RE: food plot question????

1st - for a 1st time plot - I wouldn't mix seeds. I'd buy a good clover seed from a reputable seed source like Biologic, Imperial Whitetail, Tecomate, etc. Plant it according to their directions - make sure you have a good, bare dirt seed bed, to start.

Don't ever mix grass in a deer plot - deer rarely eat grass - and eventually it will take over a plot.

Fight the urge to seed more than the reccomended amount.

Last - Ph,Moistureand Soil preparation are probably the 3 most important things that you need to consider. No way can you just toss out any seed mix, and expect to have a good deer plot - unless you are very lucky.

Google Search - "fooplot" or check out the articles on the QDMA website - to get started.


Good luck
FH
