Fall and Winter Food Plot Mix is a seasonal blend for deer food plots, presented as a quality option for winter forage planning. The listed options cover sizes from 5 lbs to 40 lbs. It is intended for pasture and food plot planting, with germination in about 7 to 14 days under suitable conditions. Everyday practical design is part of the design. The flats are packed for home growing, so you can start them in a bed, a raised planter, or a container.
To effectively observe the wildlife impact on your food plot, place a 10' x 6' barrier, made of chicken wire and zip ties, in the middle of your food plot (be sure to staple down the wire with camping stakes). By using the barrier, you may find that some seed varieties grow better, and that the deer prefer some varieties more than others, depending on your specific location.
