Description
This plot is so easy to plant a Caveman could do it! We literally grew this CRUSH® Caveman Blend in the gravel parking lot of our warehouse. It has a blend of 4 different annual seeds that are all highly attractive and nutritious to deer. This blend was selected by Tiffany Lakosky because she wanted something she could plant without Lee's help in their backyard.
This plot grows very fast and can be hunt-ready in as little as 2-3 weeks. It works great with broadcast seeding but can also be drilled to a depth of ¼ inch. Planting into a weed-free even seedbed will increase productivity of this plot.
For best results plant 4-6 weeks before average first frost. Here is a handy frost calculator if you are uncertain about timing in your area: https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates
Time planting so that there is a good soaking rain within 10 days of planting. This will ensure timely germination and prevent seed loss to turkeys and other birds. We recommend having soil pH between 5.5-7.5 for this product. Without a soil test we recommend putting 75 lbs of 13-13-13 per ¼ acre.
