Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie when it comes to planting plots. I purchased 51 acres recently and am planning to create several new food plots on the land. I want to create plots with variety of seeds to feed deer from september (bow season in ky - my and is in Northern KY) through winter. But the blends done commercially seem to be pretty expensive. I'm thinking about buying seeds by the bulk at a feed store and mixing my own. What are the pros and cons of doing this? I want some early fall stuff (like clover) mixed in with fall/winter like oats, wheat, rye, and brassicas for the colder weather, all in the same plot. What do you all think about this plan to do it myself vs. paying for the premixed stuff? thanks ahead of time for any advice.
