No Till - First Time Food Plot

[@Rooster2628]

The best process video I have seen. I appreciate seeing it from start to finish with great detailed description.

[@Avrageoutdoorguy]

Very nice good job thanks for sharing

[@pmhum]

Well done video. Very helpful for newbies like me. Thanks!

[@Midwest283]

For not setting out to be a DIY video this actually nailed it for me. Gives me confidence I can go the no till route next year.

[@MS-ec9wy]

@@Midwest283 best of luck. I’m still learning 4 yrs later and trying new things. Getting the rain I need and deer with heavy deer browse are my biggest challenges.

[@christopherpaige406]

If you have access to the equipment, you could have disc it and be done.

[@johnstobbscpa8081]

Thanks for showing the results ... helps very much!

[@tomfitzgerald6666]

Did a great job Impressed!

[@juliusjames5577]

Really enjoyed you showing the end result. The only thing that could of made it better is showing us the huge Buck that came in.

[@9409savant]

Excellent great info👍👍

[@bwyatt3367]

Groundhog Max fitted to your ATV. It doesn't really plow, but chops up the thatch really well

[@JaredsShop]

I’m surprised it worked so well without getting the seed into the soil. Congrats. Looked great.

[@MS-ec9wy]

@@JaredsShop Ivan found that as long as the seed is making soil contact and is covered by thatch or cover crop, it works extremely well. Without those you would need to work the soil some to cover the seed.

[@lancebrinkley5637]

I have problems with clover coming up from no till. I have a ground hogg maxx atv disc i use to scratch the surface. I get great clover germination now. Great video, thanks!!

[@georgehelzer7569]

The one part of your plot turned out great! The one thing I will recommend is to seed right after you spray. I like the field to be about a foot tall to 3 foot tall, spray, seed and roll it. That will help protect the seed so much better than killing and letting it die off before planting. When the video started I didnt want you to cut it, but yeah, it needed it. That may have choked out a lot of seed. If you catch a dry year like im having now, you will appreciate that longer seed protection. Hope you had a good 21 season!

[@pyromatic400]

What part of Southern Ohio did you purchase in we purchased in Scioto three years ago for our rec property

[@Episode8wasgarbage]

Hey man, awesome job. One thing that made me happier than anything was the fact that i just bought a tractor today with a hog instead of going the cheaper(and probably smarter) route of the swisher like i was thinking about. I have 45 aces, 9 of which need cut 2-3x a year. It would have taken me ages to do 9 acers if that plot took 5 hours lol

[@sunshinewaterandwoods1033]

Great job on this vid

[@lanelavender7188]

Great Video. I hope you are still active on here. I have a question. You mentioned starting with lime. Did you disk and apply the lime?

[@RyanTN]

I have good luck with crimson clover and a tillage/forage radish, followed by cereal rye or winter wheat 2-3 weeks after. Seeds work great with a no till broadcast method down here in southern middle Tennessee. I get my seed from the local county coop.

[@GunGuy258]

That's amazing. Thank you for the video.

[@courtneesdad]

Very informative 👍

[@benwicker5820]

One of the better videos on this . Thanks. I would have killed it before I mowed it . But that's just me .

[@noahvail4675]

Came up great but there was a lot of stuff there that I personally thought was a waste, next year go bush hog as low as absolute possible go put out all the seeds you want to grow. Keep a check on the weather the day before or minutes before it rains go put out your fertilizer. And let her rip. Dead grass is pure fertilizer in itself. You will save tons of money and time and get the same results

[@Nobody-c6g]

Critical to drag and roll. Very smart.

[@stephenaddair]

I racked all the leaves and planted 2 bags of throw and grow about month ago and nothing came up It rained everyday for a week after I planted it I don't know why nothing came up at all?

[@rebelyell9814]

Great video!!!!!!

[@scottellis8964]

GO DAWGS 😂 GREAT INFO BRO

[@transamguy9073]

What county are u located in im in noble

[@grutledge5358]

Did you inoculate your Clover seed

[@andreaconner1786]

why all the chemicals if you are trying for soil health by no tilling?

[@tpuuup]

Yea that's my concern as well. I'm doing my food plots with a tractor using plow, disc to avoid spraying. Everything comes up pretty good, and i maintain my clover by just mowing it tall. I would rather use my 4wheeler and do the no till, cheaper equipment. My friend who used to spray his food plots had thyroid cancer when he hit 30, fairly young, scared me into stop spraying. Arguably that could have been from anywhere but just playing it safe. I'm wondering if there's a way to do no till without spraying.

[@coopertaylor9393]

He said he had no equipment so the no till was not because he was keeping soil healthy it was because he didn’t have tractor to get equipment to break the ground

[@erichanson9842]

Weeds still come back and take nutrients disking just turns soil

[@russellshirk1148]

He was using glyphosate to spray. Once it touches soil it is rendered useless and will no longer cause any harm to plants. Other weed killers such as 2-4d remain in the soil up to 4 weeks after spraying. Disking the soil constantly leads to more soil erosion/ loss of nutrients. Mow first and spray right after is the most effective way to kill all weeds and conserve nutrients that are in the soil. I plant buckwheat as a summer cover crop to prevent weeds from growing as much as possible. Spread seed into standing buckwheat then crimp it over. Spray with glyphosate to kill buckwheat and prevent weeds from competing with whatever you planted. Fertilize and lime as necessary. Soil tests are a must. You need proper soil ph for the plants to soak up all the nutrients they can get.

[@cericson3426]

​@@tpuuupwhen you plow you stir up more weed seeds The best way to do it is spray with glyphosate to kill everything although glyphosate is not my favorite and I don't like using it that often you got to get a kill broadcast right into it after you sprayed it and then leave it. If it is too tall you might have to mow it spray then broadcast seed right into it Been doing plots this way for the last 20 years planting food plots for almost 40 Also You're not trying to do an agricultural venture you're putting in a food plot a few extra weeds and native stuff isn't going to hurt anything

[@сонясоняли]

Привет! Сколько осадков(воды, влаги) в год в Вашем регионе? hi! how much precipitation (moisture) per year in your region?

[@timkaldahl]

Thank you for sharing your results.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

I use no till. I use a blue tarp to kill weeds and seeds. A blue tarp will burn a hole in a lawn in one sunny day. I recommend leaving tarp for 2 weeks. And then you can remove the blue tarp and plant that area.

[@gigel99324]

So you got hard soil and just throw buckwheat or whatever seeds and water them? That's it?

[@troybrake5686]

I have some 4' x4' lids I got from work and they work good for solar termination also. I done a few spots like that, I just got every few weeks and move them over 4 ft and eventually it sets a lot of the junk back

[@chevyheavy79]

If I did that on my property the deer would mow it down just as fast as it grows

[@bunnyking100]

Great job sir

[@timothybrewer7905]

Looks really good!

[@Lytieutrang2015]

Great

[@mikeree7375]

Thanks for the information.

[@philipmontgomery5626]

Good video

[@joelg1432]

Fall clover u should use an annual type. If your trying to establish a long term clover plot frost seed in February with the type u used in the video.

[@isaacwhite6758]

So I am building a food plot and I don’t know whare you can send in your soil samples

[@seanhoop5148]

Try frost seeding the clover. Best no till way for clover

[@jevers2010]

With all those passes, you should have just tilled it

[@nonofyabizz1605]

impressive for virgin ground

[@ianlilley6430]

Mmmmmmmm where can I get me that round up ready venison 😅☠️

[@ammantophori]

Dude that was a good one 😅

[@ryannoel8978]

It's what farmers dump on ground yearly no difference

[@Mo75149-j]

Is Deer gro plot start really a lime alternative? My USDA office says no. Deer GRO is calcium chloride, lime is calcium carbonate. True liquid lime, is made of calcium carbonate correct? Why are youtubers promoting a product that is not really benefiting the soil? Can you do a video explaining the difference between calcium chloride and calcium carbonate(lime). Ive heard calcium chloride is used on highways as a brine since it don't freeze, as well as in tires.. I'd like to use liquid lime, but feel I've been tricked by false marketing and people getting paid lots of $$ to promote a product that really is not beneficial to my soil and food plots.

[@MS-ec9wy]

@@Mo75149-j I’ve never used Deer Gro. Just ag lime.

[@bigal25938]

Nothing wrong with tilling.

[@BrandonBarlowOutdoors]

Iron makes it greener Clover likes shade :)

[@shephusted2714]

why would you spray - nasty #monsanto

[@cocoyoco]

Spraying your food plot with poison. Interesting choice.

[@ryanweaver3615]

Poison? He sprayed glysophate, I’ve been putting that in my cereal for decades and no problems. Good job on the plot sir!

[@richardtrowell8812]

If you kill the weeds, what you're trying to grow gets better results. Farmers have been using this process for decades. Like anything else if you don't follow precautions on package can cause an issue.

[@_eimine_]

You lost me at glyphosate.

[@littlerayofsunshine69]

PPE for you. To hell with the wildlife, I guess.
