My throw and mow plot survived the drought we had here south bama and is now thriving. I thought I would post up a couple of updated pics. Again, this plot was planted by doing nothing more than broadcasting seed into standing thatch and then mowing the thatch to cover the seed.

The benefits of doing it is this way are many. It improves the organic matter content, which in turn improves your nutrient and water holding capacity. This is major for those with sandy soils. It improves water infiltration and allows your plot to take advantage of all the rain we receive instead of having large amounts “run-off”. It improves moisture retention by creating a blanket over the soil, which keeps the soil moisture from evaporating. It regulates soil temperatures and keeps the soil from having wide daily temperature swings up and down, which is needed for optimal plant growth. It improves the microbial activity in the soil, which is vital for optimal plant function. It also saves a lot of time, labor, and $$$$.

I tried the throw and mow at the house in a small plot that hasn't been tilled in 4 years. I used trictacale I had left over and it has done fairly well considering the lack of rain after planting.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

My south bama plot did very well, also. Then the deer mowed it down. It's still growing, though.

Cool!....This warm weather is really helping my plot out now that we finally have some soil moisture to work with. I had added some 34-0-0 also several weeks ago and I'm pretty sure its just now kicking in good. When temps are in the 70's like they are now, cereal rye nearly grows like the grass in your yard. I've mowed it in the spring and it jump right back up within a week.

WMS Deer Magnet w/ Coker oats(disced) and top sowed more radishes and turnips. Everything got about a foot tall and now it's about 2-3" tall. Wish I could've hunted it when they first started mowing it down.

I'm going to go back to using oats in my mix next year mixed with the cereal rye. I was reading some other threads the other day and it reminded me why Lickcreek recommended adding oats. Cereal rye is slow to establish. Oats jump up and establish quicker so you have something for the deer to graze while the rye gets going. Oats also seem to be the most preferred cereal grain according to side by side tests I did a few years ago with wheat, rye, and oats. I wouldn't suggest planting just oats though as you may find a dead plot if temps dip too low. A buddy of mine did that last year.

Yeah, in normal years, I'll put up pie plates and wind chimes to keep the deer out of the fields until the week of bow season. It was funny watching them pick around the turnips and rashes eating the oats. This year I didn't put anything up and the deer hammered them early. That was my fault. slap

I used trictacale as my main forage with the wms trophy magnet and like how the deer have taken to it. I'm trying for this spring to be my first real test with the throw and mow at the house.

Milo and cowpeas both work real well. I've never planted the wms mix....Does it have any clover in it? Durana, Yuchi Arrowleaf, and Crimson are all good options.

The Deer Magnet has a lot of clover in it. It's coated in grow coat, too.

I looked up what was in the WMS....It looks like a pretty good seed blend. I could see it being very useful for someone who was just planting an acre or so but if you're talking about planting any significant amount of plots, I think you could mix your own blend for a good bit cheaper. Nothing special in there that can't be bought individually.

It's done better than anything we've ever planted.

CNC you're right on. WMS is high as giraffes p***y! you can blend you're own for a 1/3 to 1/2 the price. I planted deer magnet on short notice this year kinda last minute plot. Not paying that again.

You fellers that roll yer own must have a better Co-op than Jackson Farmers. You go in ours asking for what's in WMS deer magnet, half they won't have, other half the never heard of or can't get at all.
