RE: Powerplant?

i have not used it, but i plan on using it to help fence in the rest of my field from the road because we have been having trouble with people shining our deer... I have done quite a bit of research and it seems like it will do a great job growing and providing the nutrients and cover needed to sustain a white-tail herd..

RE: Powerplant?

I like Powerplant. I planted it two years ago and it grows THICK. Once it started growing, I never checked on it or step foot in the food plot and saw some of the biggest buck I have seen walk out of that plot during season. What I would recommend is to plant your food plot in powerplant and then when it starts to die, disk up 1/2 of the field and leave the other. When this stuff dies, it still is a thick mess. I will be planting powerplant again this year!

So, how long did the deer stay and eat in it? I would be planting in Ny and am wondering if the deer will keep eating it until mid december? I think Im going to do half of the field powerplant and half of something else... How well does this stuff grow without to much fertilizer or lime??

Thanks

RE: Powerplant?

Powerplant only holds food usually until early september, it will stop growing and but whatever food isn't ate, will be available. It is mainly a summer food plot holding the deer in there all summer. As far as deer eating it in december, doubtful. It will however be a great cover for deer to eat the other food you plant.
