RE: Throw & Grow
Another question... What about protecting the plot from grazing to allow it to grow? Is there anything specific I can do so the plants don't get eaten before they get going?

RE: Throw & Grow
I used Whitetail Inst.'s Secret Spot last year and it was junk. I followed the directions perfectly and i have alot of experience in farming/horticulture, so it'snot that hard to figure out what is wrong.
You can use3-4 strands ofbarbwire to keep the deer out of the plot why it grows but remember to run it higher too as most deer can jump a standard fence. I have seen ppl wraporange flagging tape around the barbwire too, you don't want to harm the deer or another person.

RE: Throw & Grow
they make some stuff, kinda like the flagging tape mentioned above, that you rope off and spray a scent on to keep the deer at bay for a couple weeks. deer browsing didn't seem to hurt or slow down the LabLab i planted. it still took off and flourished under normal browsing conditions.

RE: Throw & Grow
I have to agree with a few of the others and say I'm very disappointed in the Whitetail Imperial Clover. It has been close to a month with hardly any clover showing. I'm gonna go the local ag store route from now on.

RE: Throw & Grow
I ended up deciding not to plant the Throw & Grow. I went the hard route and sent off a soil sample, herbicided the area, tilled, and I'll be planting Tecomate LabLab Plus soon.
