no-plow type seeds
Alright guys, do they work? I'm about to be hunting an area where I can't take anything into. It's about 200 acres of PRIME land and I have permission to walk across unhuntable land but I can't drive something across(only about 30 yards, but still). B/c I can't take anything into this land to cultivate some food plots, what is the general consensus on no-plow type seed? What brands do you guys use and how does it work?

RE: no-plow type seeds
Shhhhh, dont tell them but its not a special seed!!!!!!!
It cracks me up how gullable we humans are. These companies are schooling us in marketing 101. Be it Mossy Oak Biologic to Whitetail clover its all fancy packaging. You can buy identical seed for a lot less money, it just doesn't have the "name brand" on it.
You can go to about any farm supply and pick up either annual rye, or winter weat seed. and get the same results. Rake/ weed eat an area down and broadcast the seed. Some of it will take some will not.You will obviously get ahigher percentage of germination on cultivated soil than uncultivated.I imagine that the packing incourages higher seeding rates on the "NO Till" thus increasing the odds of coverage. Its simple math, You are going to get a lower percentage of germination so you increase the volume of seed to compensate.
Rye generally germinates in 7-10 days. so if you spread some rye grass and it comes a nice rain you will start seeing sprouts in about a week. The beauty of Rye is that it doesn't mind a little shade, and deer realy like the nice tender shoots of new grass.

Some of the big keys is knowing the PH of the soil and adding lime, and some 10-10-10 fert if and when needed.
