Below is a pic of a screen shot I took off a video of me mowing down the above mix on a half acre plot on my lease. I am driving a 1026R with a flail mower on the back.

Sunn hemp grows an inch a day. My deer absolutely pound it. Also a heavy planting of whitetail institute power plant will work. I'd put 50 pounds on half an acre. You need to wait until soil temps are 65 degrees. Next fall, come in and plant some durana or whitetail clover with your fall crops.

Lockjaw... what recipe for the above? equal parts of each or what? Sounds like a good mix.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.
