Anybody use it? Is it really that easy to plant, or do you probably need something to turn the soil over? Did you have any luck with just planting it and not using any fertilizer or anything for pH? Did you protect it from the deer for awhile so it got a chance to establish itself? Details welcome!

I planted some last season, and yes it did grow on its own, but the deer didn't seem to interested in it. This seasonit grew backand is much more full and the deer are pounding it. So i think it take a yearfor it to become appealing to the deer or it takes the deer a year to aquire the taste..

It grew back on it's own? Are you sure it was Hot Spot you were using? The information I've found on it said it only lasts about 45 days after germination, and that would make me think it would definitely have to be replanted the next year. How much did you plant and do you think you need to protect it until you're ready to hunt this year?
