Planting your first food plot can be tricky. There's a lot of information out there, lots of different seeds, blends, and brands to choose from. But it doesn't matter what awesome blend you plant if you make these four mistakes. Things just won't turn out very well...
I made a mistake in the text showing the calculations for recommended seeding rate. It should be the recommended seeding rate DIVIDED by the real germination rate.

I plant right in the fall time and it comes up nice and green and Deer do you like it it comes up next spring stays green all winter comes up next spring and of course it gets really tall but you can actually just keep cutting it or let it go to seed it’ll restart

Good morning....did you make a mistake on the seed rate example you posted? 75 x .833 = 62.475 not in the 90’s....right? Am I doing something wrong here?

I did make a mistake in the text. It should be 75 lbs/acre divided by .833. Thanks for catching that!

I hate how most people on yt show the cleanest plots in the woods while ares look bad with plants that grow in some parts

Yeah most peoples plots have their fair share of weeds in them. Some of those are very beneficial so I’m not sure we should even worry about most of the broadleaf weeds.

Deer don’t eat rye grass?

@InformedOutdoors Жыл бұрын

They will but it’s at the bottom of the list of their preferred browse. Rye grass is usually added (heavily) to big name seed mixes so you get something green growing fast and you think it’s a good product. I’d go with rye grain of rye grass. It’ll do in a pinch but avoid it if you can.

Rye Grass is almost worse than weeds. It'll choke out the actual food you're planting and it hurts the pH in your soil also. If you can, get all your stuff from your co-op/feed store. They will explain each seed to you, and you're not getting any useless filler stuff. Plus, you're helping a small business and keeping your money in your community.
