First time trying to put in a food plot. Would help to see your entire procedure and time to start it. Western New York

Check out our habitat playlist. I have a start to finish food plot series in there. Started the food plot at this time last year roughly.

More hunters should do this! I see the time spent doing this as a plus. You get to get out in nature, plus you're working up a sweat and not be a couch potato. Keep these videos up!

Sounds like a man that is willing to try new things and know what he want on his food plots I am all for him

I don’t even spray I just throw it and mow it works great.!! I throw out two different types of clover, Winter rye grain , and Oates works perfect.

How much eye liner do i put on before seeding ?

Started my first clover food plot this year. Already have clover coming up. Grest video

About to do my first one, just came across your video. Your manner of presenting and the vibe of this video is so peaceful, hope to see more!

Going to do my first plot this year thanks for the tips

Thanks Dude,Worked out GREAT

Great looking Plot!

Just stumbled upon this video. Liked and subbed. Muskegon County hunter here, thanks for the info and a clear, laid back video.

Yea, I’d like to see the video of the food plot development. I plant several and clover and cereal rye are my go to plots.

Great plot I want to hear more. Thanks

good video, one good thing about food plots, they get you in the woods/outdoors in the off season. I've had some plots that went well, others not so much.....that's hunting in general.

Great video!

Very Good Video I’m from Northern Michigan. I also have a Leather Mitten Branded Bills Cap 😁 about to till my plot tomorrow!

Thanks man I am on it.

Should spray with Roundup first. More leaves to hit with spray

Also a Michigan hunter, would like to see more, want to try your method, when would you start a first time food plot? Looking forward to additional videos.

Also an oklahoman. Hunt up by Fairview. How did it work for you?

Enjoyed your video and I would love to see more about planting this food plot before this spring. Today is 1/15/2020. I am going to try a food plot this year for sure! Thanks

I didn’t know you could seed right after round up!

Shout out from Sault Ste Marie Mi.

Try last week August broadcasting 200lbs rye or wheat over the top of it.

What seed do you all use? For the early food plot and late food plot...

Like to see start to finish

What month did you plant the clover?

Did you fertilize the same time as you seeded?

Did having the thatch sitting cause the Roundup to not be as effective? Also, so you did not till at all for the radishes?

Would like to see that video

Where can I get that seed spreader

How much lime and fertilizer did you have to ad?

Looks good. Yours was the first video I’ve seen where you just seed right over top of what’s already there and don’t take out the existing plants. I’ve been trying to figure out also is clover going to be around say late fall in the North East when my gun season comes around? I’m trying to figure out what to plant

Clover would still be there, but the draw to it begins to rapidly drop off the colder it gets. Basically, the source of digestible matter and nutrition begins to drop the colder it gets. That’s why it’s a good idea to over seed radishes, tubulars or grains like wheat/rye in it as well to help it continue to draw deer in the colder months.

Man Over Beast Yeah thanks. I have two quarter acre plots and I want to get them going in the spring. Then as of right now I’m going to convert one to winter greens at the end of summer

Winter rye will work. About the easiest to grow. Very loor ph tolerant and only about $20 for a 50lb bag. Seed in late August- Labor day.

This does work well. But when I started using Jeff Sturgis ultimate no-till my weeds went to near zero and the soil I have built has been unreal. You should check him out. I modified his technique by making a foot crimper so I didn’t need a cultipacker or have spray the second time. Great info though!

How did you make the crimper?

Is there a follow up video with the results?

Where in Michigan are you? I use this method quite a bit, cheap and it’s so much better for your soils. Keeps you from tilling which puts all your organic material too deep. I’m up in Grand Traverse County!

Only thing that would change based off location is just timing of when to plant the seed of your choice. The planting method itself wouldn't change. If you go with a name brand seed dealer, they'll list planting dates on the bag generally. If they don't, google will generally give you an accurate answer if you make sure to search the specific seed planting dates. Example search "growing region planting dates for brassica". In Michigan, most planting dates are going to revolve around the month of May & Aug/Sep.

Have you ever tried winter rye? That stuff will grow on a concrete slab if it's moist enough lol

Generally, the trouble with winter rye is making it STOP. Annual rye or oats are a lot easier to deal with, just mow 'em down before they go to seed.

Cereal rye and wheat will grow in a dark basement lol I do use it, but mostly when I try to layer food plots for later season.

Like to see it.

Has anyone ever heard of whitetail deer eating black walnut nuts in the middle West Georgia area???? Please somebody let me know if they have ever seen or heard of this. It might be my first video to come out on KZread. I know how to Google and I know how to KZread but I have never made a video for KZread so I guess now that I'm 64 it's my time to shine

This is a poor man’s food plot. Brush hogs and mowers are more expensive.

How far off of an ag field would you suggest putting a food plot? Beans and corn in the fields. And I have a 7 acre patch of woods.

@ManOverBeast

4 жыл бұрын

With not knowing much about the location, I would just say do what is easiest starting off for the location. No need to over think placement too much. Corn and Soys are obvious draws, but I've watched deer walk right through standing corn and beans to hit a cover crop of rye in the field right next to it. I guess if there was anything else to add to this reply would be to put it where it's easiest for you to access without spooking deer off the plot when you enter and exit your stand. Hope this helps :)

What time of year is this is this possible? Is it to late??

Depending on your zone fall planting occurs from the end of July through Sept. Plenty of time.

Try 100 lbs of wheat or cereal rye. End of August

Looks like a quarter of an acre

Round up? Not cool

Those soils tests usually only measure immediately-soluble nutrients, not the total nutrients in the soil. It keeps people thinking they HAVE to buy synthetic fertilizers every year, as if you were running a hydro set-up or a large commercial mono-crop. Every time you pour those soluble salts all over the place, you're making the soil WORSE, not better. And you WILL have to keep buying salt-based fertilizers year after year, because you're killing off all the microbes that break down organic matter over a season or three. It's a big part of the reason so many mono-crop farmers are constantly on the verge of going broke - it's basically like starting over from scratch every single year. And that is expensive. Look into permaculture and you'll realize pretty quick that unless something is REALLY off to begin with, if all those weeds were already growing there, you just don't need all that hassle to grow the stuff deer like. Clover (for instance) is essentially a weed; it's crazy that people fertilize it every year like corn or something. Very profitable for your local ferts merchant, though ;) Cover crops, some soil-busting plants like sunflowers, chop-n-drop etc will keep the soil healthy indefinitely, much the same way a natural forest or meadow never seems to need fertilizers. Seeds are cheaper than all that synthetic stuff, too.

What your describing is very dependent on what you plant. Most soil samples are only a one year fix IF what you're planting has an uptake that is greater than what you are giving it and if your soil has nutritional leaching problems. Coming from an ag background (10+ years in the industry) I know exactly what you're trying to imply, but for food plotting a soil sample done once every 7-10 years is plenty substantial unless you plan on planting something with high Nitrogen needs (corn/brassica) and then you want to make sure you're not over feeding those types of plots because nutritional leaching should be everyone's concern. A soil sample really IMO is only needed initially, especially to determine PH levels. After that I never really pay attention to it afterwards. Actually, this plot in particular still has never been soil tested lol
