RE: advice for a foood plot
Clear a small pacth ,put some fertalizer on it . let it sit a couple of days and the try some differnt types to find out what will grow good in your area. Whitetail instatute has a starters sample kit that has alittle bit of all of thier products that they sell for $20 . I tried it5 years ago and it worked great in my area. not everything in the kit worked but I found out what worked for me. It cost me $20 plus a cheap chain saw ,a rake , hoe and lots of grease for my elbows. You dont need 1 acre lots cleared. I did 10 ft by 20 ft spots to start ad got bigger over the next couple years. I still by a starters kit every year. Works great.

RE: advice for a foood plot
ORIGINAL: The Rifleman It's a shame that people want to hunt, but they don't want to hunt to get. How easy do you want to make it? Planting a food plot is a lot of hard work and costs lot's of money. LOT'S! Just for one acre of Food plot in Pennsylvania, we spent $2000.00 It was already a cleared field, but it only had about 2 - 3 inches of top soil and was really rocky underneath that. By the time you buy your lime and your fertelizer and pay a man with a tractor to plow, till, disc, harrow and run his grain drill over the place to plant whitetail clover - you could have went to thebutcher shopand bought several100 lbs of the best beef stakes. Even good land might cost you $1000 an acre to plant. The highest cost per acre I ever personally know of was $400/acre for ladino clover and the guy guaranteed a good plot or he'd replant for free. Yes there are some pricey seeds out there but it's not necessary to spend that kind of money. |
