The "no plant" food plot

[Native Hunter]

Queen Anns Lace aka wild carrot can be invasive. But if manage for native grass and herbaceous plants it becomes self limiting. It’s taproot mines nutrients and moisture from poor soils allowing eventual transition to more deer friendly plants.
Like dandeline, it’s flower and roots work great in salad.
Nothing in my world is more invasive than monoculture fescue so I take the variety.
Goldenrod if mowed late summer will not come back for years. And like you I’ve never seen deer eat mine despite managing it for my screenings. Maybe I have too much too notice.

And I can always go get you some more fescue from the original location..... No, I won't post that pic today, but you know that I will someday soon....

We get a pretty good response from our native seed bank. Plenty of food in the logged areas.

About a mile from my place I noticed the most lush stand of partridge pea I’ve ever seen. Despite multiple attempts of spraying, strip disking, doing nothing, etc., I’ve never seen the first plant on my land.

When I kill the Johnson grass and pigweed, I get dog fennel and horse weed. Yippee!!!

Some have the seed bank; many do not.
