To effectively observe the wildlife impact on your food plot, place a 10' x 6' barrier, made of chicken wire and zip ties, in the middle of your food plot (be sure to staple down the wire with camping stakes). By using the barrier you may find that some seed varieties grow better, and that the deer prefer some varieties more than others, depending on your specific location. We pride ourselves on custom seed mixes: After you identify the varieties that your deer herd prefers, we can then custom-blend your own food plot mix for the next planting season. It is impossible to create a food plot mix that all deer in all locations will absolutely love. Our mix provides eight effective and inexpensive fall and winter food plot seed varieties. These eight ingredients have proven to grow, survive, and provide adequate nutrition throughout the southeastern United States, from October through April.

Fertilization is vital for a great food plot. We recommend 200 lbs. of 16-04-08 per acre. Use 400 lbs. of lime or dolomite every 2 or 3 years in the food plot. Remember to choose a location with moist soil conditions during the rainy season.

Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
