How late in the season would you consider planting a food/kill plot? I am assuming right off the bat that it would be wise to plant a late season crop or a perennial? After visiting the property twice I found a area to do it, just not sure if i should.
Your def. not to late, and for many places a bit early. It all depends on what you are going to plant and the maturity rate of the crop. You still have plenty of time however
It is definitely not to late! We usually plant end of July into middle of August. And I talk to people who don't plant them until later in the month. All we look for is rain in the forecast!
Rye works well and is cheap most times it can be just thrown out by hand even good thrown over cut beans.
We usually plant rye grass and clover in September and depending on rain it's nice and lush by the end of October Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
How late is too late....well, in Wisconsin one year i got away with planting winter rye on November 1st but last year even sept 1st was too damn late. Anyone know what this years weather will turn out to be? Every seed has an effective planting date in whatever state your in. This is why people should buy from agronomists/master seedsmen/consultants. Products thrown on a shelf really don't add much value. Having a warm body one can call and ask these questions, should come with the price of the seed you buy....yes? I know of places such as this that offer free seed advice.....the higher one goes to the top of the seed food chain, the more expertise and unbiased advice might be lended.
It's never too late. In Arkansas anything planted before early to mid-September won't survive the heat. Sometimes I've planted a few weeks before season. Deer don't seem to mind and the plots are for when the food sources dry up, which is later in the season anyways. They'll sprout right after a rain and don't take long to shoot up.
