ps, make sure you are gonna plant when there is definitely water gonna get on it..i rented a gas powered pump and hoses and we pumped out the creek, stayed fer the labor day weekend and watered 3-4 days in a row..dont chunk your seed out hoping it will rain
Just curious... What did you plant? How long does it take the deer to fully eat it down? And do you see a lot more deer in that area because of the plot now?
