So in reality you would need 1.5 bags to plant an acre. That's why when you use their recommendations, it looks thin because it is thin.


Here is what their website list as being in the deer magnet. I’ll need to look back for that post I made with the tag. I want to say we might have planted it that year on our KY lease. It’s definitely a product I haven’t used much due to mixing my own. The only reason I’m even considering it is be because the cost savings. I’ll need to go back an add an additional 25# of seed into my spreadsheet and see what that does to cost. I bet it will put me at same cost of making my own. I always figure my clover seed rate at PLS. If they recommend 5# acre that usually means 10# to get 5# pls.
