I wanted a small food plot in a place this year that is at a bad spot for getting a tractor and disk into - not impossible, but just not lots of room.
It was around the end of July, and I was bursting to get plotting - even though I knew I needed to wait at least 2 more weeks to do my regular plots. So, I did a test - thinking that if this failed I could come back later and redo it.
I will let you judge the results from the picture below. Facts are:

I will let you judge the results from the picture below. Facts are:
- Planted common Ladino Clover mixed with an improved variety of Red Clover. (They had no wheat at the feed store at that time, but 10 days ago I threw some wheat in with it. Wheat is beginning to germinate a little now.
- Sprayed with gly - scattered seed - mowed with lawn mower - used my pickup truck to pack.
- Average fertility ground, so no fertilize or lime.
- Got enough occasional small rains for germination and enough to keep the clover alive.
- Let me know what you think....I think this is going to fill in nicely in time.
