An update on our pond foodplot after 3 weeks growth, and a little testing zone where we planted 7 different crops just to see what would take in that soil.

  • Smurf, the land is in kewaunee count in a large block of timber. I will leave it at that.

    And to wolftalica, sorry if the music overan some of my talking at the end, thats what the captions were for. I thought it sounded better before saving.

    The test plot was purple top, rape, red clover, ladino clover, austrain winter peas, and oats on the end. They all took very well. although patchy looking at first becuase we just sprinkled them in.

  • Clover should be cut down to about 8 inches, it promotes regrowth and easier regrowth for deer to digest. I wouldnt move brassicas or oats.

    If there all mixed together you might have to just let them grow and hopefully they will keep it mowed down on there own.

  • is it a good idea to mow it down?

  • @gavinthegamekiller Your supposed to mow clover and keep it down around 6 to 10 inches. The regrowth is much for edible for deer.

    Other crops like oats, radishes, turnips, rye do not need to be mowed.

    We only mowed the little test plot of clover, everything else we let the deer mow!

  • Great video!

  • @HawgNSonsTV2 ....thanks hog, I keep up with stuff on QDMA.

    You put together some really nice plots, and great videos.

    This one is getting about 1500 pounds of lime tomorrow so it should only be better next year. It was up and down this year with the spotty rain we got.
