RE: starting a food plot
bdbwtie1
When people are starting a food plot - I usually suggest Imperial Whitetail Clover - especially if I know they have decent soils already.
Probably the Biologic, and/or other big name products work ok too.
I like the IWC for a first timer's plot - beacause it has a really good "how to" video - and the plot usually does well.
Later - when you get better at it - then I suggest looking at the Co-op for options - Many people I know never do switch to something else.
*** If I know the soil is bad (Heavy Sod, overworked, heavy clay, old Pine Plantation, wet, etc) I usually tell them to adjust the soil Ph the first year - and plant an annual like Rye, or Oats, or Buckwheat. The First Year of working the soil in these situtations offers a good fall plot the first year - and goes a long way towards having a successful perenial clover plot come out ok the second year by adding organic matter to the soil, and pulling up nutrients with their deep root systems.
