YES - in a nutshell. BUT - The higher priced seed is a bit more forgiving. - Not much though. I have no beef with the " buck-on-the-bag products however - they have to charge more - they advertise differently, and to a skeptical crowd to boot. If you get 1/2 the results they promise - Your happy - and they know it.

Interestingly - Highly Fertilized weeds will out-produce a clover food plot that has been neglected - as long as it is kept mowed, and lush.

Even more interesting - A crappy weed field, with no fertilizer can be the best location - IF......the location is top notch - from a terrain standpoint. If a plot is situated where it offers food & security - it will be better from a hunting standpoint than a great plot next to the house. - The goal is the find a happy medium.
