Hi all, new to the forum. My question is about planting a cover over my trails. I am in Northern MN and I just cut trails through the woods about 6-7 foot wide. Ferns grow good in my area, not sure if this helps or not. I need to know what to plant on my atv trails to bring deer/grouse in. I was looking at the Biologic clover. I want something with low maintence and that is faily short also a perenial. My area has no crops within 75 miles (beans, corn.....) just heavy wooded. What is good for me?

Unless you have enough sunlight 5 or so hours a day on the plants you aren't going to have much success. I honestly think you would be wasting your time with 6 foot wide trails planted in anything.

clover probbaly easiest to try.

I am going to give it a shot anyways. I want to try cover, what kind do you guys suggest. I am sure there are better kinds of cover that deer like vs other kinds. Should I stick with Biologic plus cover or go with a certified seed company clover that is cheaper>? What kind of clover should it be red, white.....>?

In your cass I would say to go with whatever you can get cheaper. Then if it works you can get the name brand stuff that the deer will like better. They say that white clover works better.
