Hello everyone, as most of you know, I am planning on planting a 2 1/2 to 3 acre food plot this spring. I have a few questions for you.

First off, I live in Indiana County, which is in the Southeastern part of Pennsylvania.

1. What plants grow the best in this area?

2. Is there a seed mixture that I can mix together when I plant so I will have a food plot the entire year. I would like something that will grow in the summer,winter, spring, and the fall.

3. Are there any good sites besides www.wildlifeseeds.com that can give good information about a certain plant. Such as, is their a site where they will tell me all the information on lab-lab, when it grows, amount of protein...

4. How long should I fence the plot in after planting it?

5. Would 4 foot fence be a fairly good deterant of animals?

6. Should I place salt blocks in the middle of the plot. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put a couple acorn/apple/corn/regular salt licks or mineral licks in the middle of the plot during the spring. Would this help attract more deer?

7. There is a small pond about 30 yards from where the food plot is going to be, should I cut a small path in the brush that leads to the pond? I have heard that deer get thristy after feeding so I was wondering if a three foot trail through the thick brush would be a good idea.

8. What type of fertillizer is best for getting the maximum out of the seeds?

9. Would Miracle Grow make the plants bigger, and would it be safe to use?

Thats about it, thanks for all of the help guys.
