This plot was a surprise!

Its a property I have been hunting for a long time. Every year I sit in my stand and envision this particular area in food plot. I made an attempt last year but was so short on time I never completed it. This year I got after it and got it done and I am so happy I did!

Again, I didn't have a ton of time so I went the simple route.

This is one of my cut, spray, broadcast plots.

The pic is a before and after. The before is when it was cut out and killed. Once that was complete I brodcasted it and it took off as you can see!

There is rye grain, field peas, turnips, rape, and sunflowers in this particular plot. Can't wait to hunt it!

Nice.
This is an odd question but does anyone ever plant hosta in a food plot. When you mentioned salad bar that's how I think of every hosta plant around my house. The deer love the stuff.

Actually people do.

Its outside the box. People get so narrow minded when it comes to this stuff that they overlook a lot. Talk to a group of food plot guys and they plant about 5 different things when in fact the list is endless....

Next year i'm going to do some out of the box stuff. Interesting enough I just had this conversation with a buddy.

looking good. i planted a hosta in a food plot this year and it is always mowed off, i dont konw if it will survive. i would love a field full of hostas, but that would be expensive.

to the ranch dressing comment; i tried some of the clover in one of our plots and it litterally tastes like green apples, super sweet/sour. we taste everything we plant.
my wife said it.... im OFFICIALLY ADDICTED to MNO!!

thought I would piggy back on this thread..

was up at the land this last weekend. the plots look better then they ever have.. everything has grown.. even ate my first apple off the place since we've planted trees. had some turnips the size of softballs, and there were beans still on the sprouts.

acorns galore also. must be a bumper crop of food this year with all the rain. think I'm heading up on sunday for a few hours of easy tasks.. new trespass signs/fix a fence, set up cameras.
