Best Food Plots | New Food Plot in the Pines (

I'm glad that worked for you. Grant's kidneys were damaged due to strep when he was a child. It was not a matter of kidney disease or an abusive lifestyle. He was and is a very healthy conscious person that is disciplined in diet and exercise. Thanks for watching GrowingDeer.tv - Tracy Woods

Again - glad that worked for youl Alcohol abuse is tough on organs. I don't doubt that you were able to bounce back as it has happened for another friend that has been able to control her pancreatitis through diet. However, that is not the same as what occurred with Grant and kidney valves not working. Please research that and I think you will understand the difference. God is a Great God and miracles happen every day! Thank you and may God continue to bless you with good health. by- Tracy Woods

ThaBassWhisperer - Small hidey hole plots are great! However, they can be over-browsed rapidly if the local deer population is high. I often use a Non-Typical Hot Zone electric fence to protect the forage in small hidey hole plots and then open the fence a few days before I wish to hunt.

Love your info and most of all you sharing of our Creator! This video is 2 years old now. But I would like to know about a field trip in 2014?

Love watching your videos!!

Plots grow best when sunlight reaches the soil - so be sure and clear enough to allow sunlight to the plot!

I’m a kidney transplant patient as well! Got the transplant in 1995 when I was 6months old. 23 years now and living good and healthy still on one kidney from my dad!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Liam - Wow! That's a huge praise! You should hug your Dad and be very thankful! Thanks for sharing the great news! - grant

[@wbsurfer123]

GrowingDeer.tv thanks man! Wish I could unfortunately he passed away from kidney cancer in his other one in 2010!

[@jeremyf_thgtv]

Laying here recovering from donating a kidney to my best friend 5 days post surgery. I've heard your story but crazy it popped up on this episode today!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Wow! You are a true hero and a great friend! I pray you both have a speedy recovery and the kidney is received well. Thank you for sharing. -Daniel

Great video, I wanted to know if you have a video talking about how to prep the soil, in recently cleared pine, or thinned pines for food plots? I am wanting to put the area in a no till plot. Is it ok to level it with a dozer? Should I just clear debris and allow nature to rot the stumps? Will low stumps damage equipment like the crimper, or no till drill? Is it ok to do an initial plow to level the desired area for future plot? Thank you in advance!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Robert - I really like plots in thinned rows of pines! Green stumps can certainly harm equipment! Fortunately pine stumps rot quickly - a few years. A fire can be used to clear the pine needles, but the big limbs need to be tossed to the side. Pending on the space between the pine stumps and adjacent trees, some folks drill between the stumps and next row. Disking always degrades soil - always - so that's my last option.

[@jamesmckinnon5357]

How to you recommend removing the food plots in preparation to no till drill? I know alot of people push the debris and stumps off with a bulldozer but does that remove too much topsoil? Would you use a track hoe instead to pull up the stumps?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

James - I prefer using a track hoe with a thumb as it does a much cleaner and more efficient job - and saves topsoil as you indicated.

[@ThaBassWhisperer]

Hey Grant I hope you can answer this for me, I was planning on making my own food plot on my property. My property has lots of deer and probably some very big bucks in the thick stuff where no one ever goes. Since it is mostly extremely thick cedars, do i have to make a very big clearing for the seeds to be able to grow and get sunlight? OR will they be able to grow if i made a clearing say 20x20 or 30x30 yards? Thanks

[@jackmorrison4382]

Is pines a good size for a plot or is the soil too acidic? Would clover work?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Everything Outdoors Where ever you plan to plant I recommend taking soil sample. After making the necessary soil amendments clover is a good shade tolerant option. -Matt

[@ThaBassWhisperer]

Will the sunlight get to the seeds? Its extremely thick cover

[@jmac1467]

When is the best time of year to plant a plot in the North East?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Cool season forages do best when they are planted 45-60 days before the average frost date. Frost dates are well recorded. A quick google search of your area and you should be able to find the date and count back to when you should begin planting! Keep us updated on your planting and food plots! -Daniel
