Thread: My first food plot

Tried my hand at planting a food plot for deer the first time this year. I have no access to a tractor or things like that. Put down a large piece of black plastic after turkey season. Covered it with cinder blocks. See first pic. Left it until yesterday. Went out and pulled it up and sure enough, everything under it was dead just like I wanted. Mostly barren. See second pic. I knew I needed to soften the dirt. So I made a redneck plow out of a pallet and some decking screws. See third pic. I drug the pallet behind my truck but didn’t have much success. So I decided to add weight. After one pass, all the blocks I had stacked on the pallet had bounced off. So, I enlisted my buddy to weigh down the pallet. See fourth pic. Drug him around the field for about 30 minutes or so. Then spread the seed and replaced the makeshift fence I had made. I’ve got high hopes that this will help add venison to the freezer come fall. I’ve read reviews that say this seed will sprout within a week and be knee high in 6 weeks, which is right around the crossbow opener for Kentucky. Hope it works as well as it sounds in my head!
