Default RE: Food Plot Help

There are numerous "no-till" or "throw & grow" mixes out there but they all have one thing in common, a seedbed does need to be prepared. Lime and fertilizer also help make things grow better. Small successful plots can be put in with minimal equipment and some elbow grease.

Most of these types of mixes use seed that requires only 1/4" of soil contact. Most commonly used items are clovers, turnips, rape, chicory, trefoil etc.

All of which are small seeds. Big seeds need more soil contact and are not as successful in a "throw & grow" type mix.
