Great there is another word to add to the can't stand list.....feathering. Just say creating a soft edge. Creating a soft edge sounds like something ghey an interior decorator would do...... 
Folks that know don't shoot old does........

Edge cover. That's the word. Non-ghey sounding and makes sense.

Thanks mw, never heard of it, would like to try some! Years ago when I was an internet distributor for Biologic I sold quite a bit of Whistleback. It was a new product for them back then. Folks would plant strips of it in late spring and summer and leave room for their Fall food plot. I didn’t have the large acreage but someone who has a big food plot could plant several narrower strips or one wide strip. I’m sure the folks at Biologic would be happy to give you guidance or a professional like Matt. Some folks would plan their food plot’s architecture including it. In my case my plot was small and the quail was likely a fluke but they did hang around a few weeks. I stared at them incredulously like WTF. Likely wild as none of my few neighbors had any liberated birds. The Blind Spot is great for edge and hiding blinds and such. It grows tall and fast.

Just flat out busting the tail feathers of monster mac daddy echoing thunder gobbler. Leave a green field feathered where I’m at.

Are they still making Whistleback? I’ve been checking their website since early Spring and it’s been showing sold out.

I have been a part of managing a property where they did this by planting the field in strips allowing the native grasses and forbs to grow up. This gave the deer and turkey more cover but also helped the property owners to see more bucks because they would step out into the grass as a staging area for the field. Also, this helped them save a little on seed since they weren't planting big fields anymore.
