Here is my plan for my attractant/food plot for this year:
Sometime during the last week of June I want to plow under my current mess to take advantage of the green manure of the mainly brome, foxtail and weeds that have returned.
After plowing and disking I plant to broadcast glyphosate ready forage soybeans and then clutipack. I plan to spray the crap outta them to keep the weeds and grasses down so next spring I can frost seed NWSG and forbs into what is left of the beans to use their nitrogen to try and get a decent stand of NWSG going.
Here are my questions:
Do you think plowing will just compound my brome and weed problem next spring?
By planting in late June will the beans still be green by late fall to use as an attractant?
Will I be able to frost seed through the bean vines or will I have to do something more to them like mow? Could I maybe burn them off next spring and broadcast seed and cultipack it?
Would it work this summer to just to mow it, nuke it, nuke it again, then broadcast the beans and clutipack and spray the crap outta it?
Shouldn’t I know by late June if I have any of the NWSG I planted three years still growing?
How many pounds or what quantity of bean seed should I buy for just over an acre?
The good thing with this, if I screw up there is always next year.
Thanks for any advice.
