oadcast on tilled soil and incorporate this premium mix to feed deer from late-August through Spring. Green soybeans attract deer first when other soybeans in your area are browning down and being harvested, fresh green soybeans are highly attractive to deer in late-Summer and early-Fall until frost, the buckwheat and sunflowers are eaten down to the stem right through the first few frosts, then the winter peas, dwarf essex and kale become attractive and increase in size. At peak rut and into early winter the greens are highly attractive does and fawns, keeping roaming bucks thinking about your property. After season, deer dig in the snow for these greens right through until Spring thaw. In Spring, the brassicas continue and will flower into summer. The winter peas very often overwinter and provide summer forage and infuse nitrogen back into the soil as they flower and produce edible pea pods for deer. Adding a couple pounds per acre of winter triticale into the mix can also provide additional deer and turkey forage into the mid-summer months. Terminate the plot in late-July by tilling, in August broadcast the mix again on fresh soil and incorporate to start the cycle all over again.

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.
