What else to plant?
 

I am putting in 4 small 1/4 acre food plots this year. I am putting shot plot in one and imperial whitetail clover in the other. My question is what should i put in the other two plots. I want to plant something different in each plot. These small plots are to draw the deer into archery range, here in western NY. Are there any mixtures you guys have found that work well Is so, when should they be planted. I plan on doubling the amount of seed since these plots are so small. OHH the soil is moist in these area so water should not be a problem;)
Thanks for the help

eddiee, Consider webfoot clover which thrives in wet soils. Along with that I would consider mixing in chicory, as it will remain as an attractant after the clover dies.


P.S. I' m no expert, I did read that though so someone smart must have wrote it:D

Try Buck Forage Oats in one plot. Use a wire cage to get a good idea of the grazing usage in each plot. I would try to go up to 1/2 acre minimum if possible.

Be sure to do soil samples... If that soil isn' t right for the seed it most likely will not do well.
