Ok, fellows...I planted some big bee berseem clover, fetch, crimson clover, etc in a spring plot...that I planted April/May...it never really done much.................UNTIL NOW.................. The summer here has been really hot and dry, and the last few weeks we've been getting a few afternoon storms, and all of the sudden...this plot has exploded......I was going to till it under, but its doing so good...Im just gonna leave it... QUESTION>>>>> Can I just in a few ball spots here an there, throw some other seed down before a rain, and let it beat it in.....Will it come up, and have enough soil to seed contact to work.... Thanks for your time Creeks
It'll work better if you have some grass clippings or straw to throw over it before it rains on the seed, if you get any rain. Oh and where's the ***pics?
Yes. But, like Covey said, grass clippings or something to hold moisture will help. Someone with your photo taking prowess should always come prepared.
Ok Covey and FoodPlot.....Here are some pics....I threw the seed over top of all of this today...and some rain moving in....I believe it's gonna be a winner.......Here are some pics...and a big toad that's hanging in the area...I've had him on camera twice so far..... The fenced in area is not planted yet....another week and I'll plant it.... Creeks
Also here is the big toad I was talking about...... and of course Mr. Bear has to come back around....Im gonna stick that dude if he shows up during season......SWACCK........
Good looking food plot and super target animals. Overseeding is the way to go with a plot that looks that good for sure. Bring on the rain and follow it with a week or two of hot sunshine.
Looks good! Toad, I don't see a toad...I see a squirrel, a nice buck and a bear but no toads...I feel jipped.
You guys are funny..........LMAO........FoodPlot, that fenced in area is just to keep the deer out until the plot comes in thick....Then it's on..............If not, the deer eat it down. I know you know that....Fenced in area to hunt...............LMAO Creeks
Jipped Hell, how do you think the deer feels? If you look at the sequence of pic's you see the deer checking to see if anyone is watching in the first 2 pictures. In the third you see him bend over to eat the "toad" that is supposed to be in one of these pic's. Then in the fourth pic we see the bear cleaning up what is left of the deer that it just ate. As long as we are making up stuff like a "toad" being here we might as well really make things up.
I fence my plot off every labor day, let it recover and be forbidden fruit. The biggest problem I have is the fawns little troublemakers will find any weak spot and get in.
