Quaker Boy Northern Forage?
Last night I was at Gander Mountain and I picked up 20 lbs of Quaker Boy Northern Forage to plant near my treestand. This is the first time ever planting a food plot but I do own a landscaping company so I kinda have an idea on how to make stuff grow, just naver had any experience with food plots.
First off, I am wondering if this seed is worth even putting down? It has a mixture of: 25% Kenland Red Clover
11% Dwaf Essex Rape
10% Vernal Alfalfa
8% Leo Birdsfoot Trefoil
7% Alsike Clover
7% Japanese Millet
5% Purple Top Turnip
5% Proso Millet
4% Linn Perennial Rye Grass
3% Californian Ladino Clover
3% Gulf Annual Rye Grass
2% Haifa White Clover
1% Siberian Kale
1% Puna Chicory
8% Inert Coating Material
So seeing that it is mixed with a bunch of difference stuff something is bound to grow it just may not be what I want.. I checked out my local seed store but he didnt have much interest in dealing with food plots...must be one of those animal activist people or something...
Also where I hunt there is no way to get any equipment besides a rake or a set of loppers, so im not really sure if just broadcasting the seed where I want it if it will grow or not? Or would I have to get it down to bare dirt then plant? If not I can keep searching for a different kind of seed and this stuff can go back to GM.
