I know there's more than a thousand ways to skin a cat, but I was looking to see if anyone has advice.
I'm going to be prepping foodplots this weekend, below is my anticipated foodplot mix:
Winter Rye: 50lbs/acre
Oats: 20lbs/acre
Ladino Clover: 5lbs/acre
Medium Red Clover: 10lbs/acre
Chicory: 4lbs/acre
The foodplots right now have been fallow since last fall-I have really high deer density so they hammer these plots and a lot of weeds come up. Last year I sprayed and drilled, but that seemed to have poor success-I'm guessing the carpeting of the grasses was too thick for seed-soil contact.
I have a sprayer, rototiller, and a genesis no-till drill to put to work. Does anyone have advice for their ideal order of operations? Rototill, Spray, Drill? Just spray and drill? Spray burn then drill?
I'll be taking soil tests this weekend as well to get the right fertilizer and lyme
Thank you
