🦌 Heavy-Hitter Fall Food Plots: Planting Tips for Success! 🦌
August through September is the prime window to get your brassicas and root crops in the ground for an unbeatable late-season deer attractant. If you want to draw them in and keep them coming back through the winter, here is how to plant our premium fall plot mix:
🌱 1. Seedbed Preparation
Clear the area: Ensure the planting site is clear of weeds and debris.
Till or Disc: Work the soil to a depth of 3–4 inches to create a loose, clean seedbed.
Soil Check: These crops thrive best in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
🌾 2. Planting Depth & Spacing
Keep it shallow: Because these seeds are small, do not bury them too deep! A planting depth of 1/4 inch is ideal.
Broadcasting: If broadcasting the seed mix, lightly drag or cultipack the soil afterward to ensure excellent seed-to-soil contact.
đź’¦ 3. Moisture & Growth
Timing is everything: Try to time your planting just before a good rain to kickstart germination.
What to expect:
The radishes and turnips will establish quickly, providing lush, protein-rich green forage early on. As the weather turns colder, frosts will trigger a sugar transfer in the turnips and sugar beets, making the bulbs and roots an irresistible, high-energy food source during the late hunting season.
