How I Plant Weed Free Food Plots Without Using Chemicals
Getting a weed free food plot without using chemicals is a lot easier than you may think. In this video I go over how I achieve that step by step.

THANK YOU! I’ve been looking for food plot videos without glyphosate with no success.

Glad it was helpful!
Looks great! I’ve been wondering if I’m too heavy on the rye, a bit too heavy on carbon, so this past year I tried triticale… for whatever reason it didn’t seem to germinate quite as well, and didn’t cover quite as well come spring. Hated to do it but I just sprayed that plot, skipping the buckwheat this summer but will start the process again come late July. It was a good reminder that, like you say, the key to this is smothering weeds with plenty of spring grains coming up, if they see some bare spots they will take off. The other thing that has snagged me up a time or two is dry periods this time of year, looking for the right window to get the buckwheat rolled under. Other than that can’t think of a better way to cut out the herbicides, short of heavy disking. Deer hunting is puzzle after puzzle.
Ken I really enjoy your videos. I’m wondering why you planted your buckwheat so heavily. I do 50lb/ac and it does great to keep weeds out.

That's great! I probably could lighten the seed rate but this definitely shades all of the weeds out and provides a nice thatch cover for my late summer seeding. It does come in very thick.
Where did you get your buckwheat? I bought some off Amazon and it never grew well for me.

I buy mine from the local co-op feed and seed.

@@HobbyHarvest thanks. I did not have time to get over there this summer. I will have to look for it next time I go.
Good video. How did the roller work at terminating the rye? I’ve always seen people use a crimper or gly. If it worked for you, I’m definitely going to try.

It worked perfectly! Just need to make sure the rye is at the right stage. I didn't even put water in the roller.
How tall do you expect the buckwheat to be in 6 to 7 weeks? Will you be broadcasting your fall plot and roll the BW over it again?

It won't be as tall as this rye. It will probably be around 4 feet tall when I terminate it after I seed my fall seeds into it.
