food plots...

[OUTDOORLIFE3]

Hey guys, I hunt up here in NW Indiana and am going to start putting out food plots and have a bunch of biologic...when should I start planting?

[dogdoc]

which biologic blends do you have?

[wtnhunt]

Depends on what you are planting as to when you will put it out. Good luck with the biologic, not a fan of their seed at all.

Full Draw, Hot spot and pea patch plus

why are you not a fan of biologic? and what do you use instead?

Biologic seeds have proven not to be food that these deer care for in this area, at least not the stuff I have tried like full draw. Biologics clover supreme is the only biologic product I have used that in my honest opinion was worth the time to fool with.

Full draw is an annual that should be planted late summer. Pea patch plus is an annual that can be planted late spring on into the summer. Not really familiar with hotspot.

Personally my first choice in plot seeds is pennington. Faster germination, better quality seed, and stuff the deer will actually eat. I have had great results with their seeds in a number of different blends. After that would have to be our own RT forum member Martin Hamann's hamann farms seed blends. Martin produces some great quality seed blends, and my clover/trefoil plot has done extremely well, and the deer and turkeys love the stuff. His seed germinates fast and does well. Check out hamannfarms.

If you already have the seed, you might take time to read the instructions on the bag, Or, you can call the company for recommended planting dates in your planting zone.

i am a fan of the clover plus, and bio-mass

i have not tried hot spot but remember that is more for quick germination and does not last long

also like buck forage oats

but most important is to have your soil sampled!!!!!

Almost all the Bio-logic works great!
