Sowing Honeysuckle and Briar Seed - 11/25/19 10:31 PM
Here is a different kind of land improvement for deer question.
We didn't finish the logging on my place since October ended up being so wet.
But we got half cut that we were going to cut. So I want to do something with those areas as soon as the hunting season is over.
This was a heavy select cut, not a clear cut.
So this has me thinking about all those log cut and pull paths and areas that have clean exposed dirt in there now.
Obviously I will be glad to see it grow back nice and thick. And I plan to hand spray with a backpack sprayer sweetgums as they sprout up.
But I am wondering this: is it possible to hand sow honeysuckle and briar seed?
And greenbriar seed?
Do they actually sell seed for this?
It would be great if those areas that will grow back as thick areas have a lot of honeysuckle and briars in them.
I know there will already be some because it is already in there to some extent.
Any thoughts and recommendations?
I want to maximize the natural food production.
