This video shows you how to plant alfalfa food plots for whitetail deer hunting. All the details are mentioned, fertilizer, lime-pH, seeding rate, tillage requirements, and exactly how to plant.
Great video, and again really good details. Are you suggesting RU ready Alfalfa...it is REALLY expensive, but may be worth the cost as it is much easier to keep free of weeds etc.. We usually try to share a bag with a friend. We have found that working the ground up with our rototiller turns it into a powder. We usually cultipack after rototilling and then seed followed again by cultipacking it, otherwise we have found the seed to be buried too deep. One negative on Alfalfa is it does require multiple mowing opposed to clovers, and will frost a little earlier than clover...but a great a attractant!!! thanks, Bob SWWI
Thank you for your reply. Since I’ve never done a soil test, and the weeds are in maximum green stage growth, I need to waif to do the right. As I said earlier, I’ve already failed twice. I want to do it step-by-step properly to have success.
Very detail instructions. I’ve already failed twice and now I know why. I only have a 3 foot disc behind an atv and a dream! It sounds like I should wait until next Feb-March to begin since it’s late June. Is that right?
At what point do you fertilize, and what are you suggesting for fertilizer? I thought i heard u mention u fertilized early on before seeding. I always assumed u fertrilize when u seed.
