It doesn't seem possible that its really 2005!

Well, I'm starting to plan my spring planting - Not so much what to plant - but WHAT ARRANGEMENTS. By that I mean - I already know what I plan to plant - generally - but what to plant together - and in what type of configuration?

Every year I plan the plots out - I end up making rectangular plots - because they are already that way. This year I want to make the plots a little more "user freindly". I'd be real interested in hearing what others do to help the deer use a plot more effectively.

I plan to make some Strips of Beans, Brassicas - and clover in corn plots. Also I plan to dogleg the corn plots for screening from roadways.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make the layouts of the plots - more attractive to the deer?

Keep in mind - that I am planting many plots in 2 large "fields" - here is last year's layout of my biggest planting area - the "old Field" is 20 acres.

This will give you an idea of what I'm working with -last year'splot layout -

The dark green - unlabled sections are younf spruce/pine plantings that are about knee high - to hip high right now. Our Cabin is the little white square on the top (north)edge of the field.
