John's Sweet Feast brassica blend is the best anywhere!

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

I did exactly to the letter what is described here and have the best looking brassica plot I’ve ever seen! Thank you!

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Nice work

[@WhitetailWonders]

Good tips, thanks!

[@Jkstrives]

I like your video. I called you once John and you said the same thing over the phone. I think if I hadn’t followed the steps you enumerated I would have seeded to fast . Thanks bud!

[@deercamp3479]

Great advice john! Keep the videos coming!

[@nathanlester5054]

Thank you for the great planting instructions.

[@garyuselman8597]

Best instruction on seed setting instruction !

[@DanPurcell45]

John, get information, Love your products. Keep the Videos coming.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Thanks

Great video . Your seed got spread just like this on August 5th here in southern NY on my small 🌿Ranch🍀 . Just still waiting on the rain that was “supposed” to come in the form of thunder/rain showers 😞☹️ on the 6th/7th/8th

[@markmasa8533]

Thanks John, keep the videos coming please. Your HD screening blend planted June first in northern Illinois is already 11' tall.

[@Alianderfarm]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@Rcol4427]

John, i use the earth way for most seed but i find the battery operated Scott wizz works great and spreads evenly at 1/2 to 1 setting for small seed like brassica

[@patrothwell9138]

Good video John. Can't wait for more

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Thanks

[@johnrichey3208]

Looking forward to your videos. Just planning my sweet beast brassicas today.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Good luck!!

[@steveyawn6192]

Thanks John!

[@PutEmInTheBox]

Nice John would like to see more

[@stevegermain1222]

Appreciate the video and understand about doing it inside because of the rain just wish you to share it a couple pictures of finished product

[@JBesq]

If adding winter peas separately, what is setting on earthway?

[@richbelmonte2911]

I was wondering about the photos on your website. The photos with the massive radishes and bulbs. Can you actually grow them that big in the allotted time for northern MI ? I am just a beginner on the food plot bit. Was wondering if they were older plants you used for the photos. Thanks for the video I need all the info I can get.

[@VentureNorthEast]

The further north you are the earlier in august you should try to plant. You can plant late July if there’s appreciable rain in the forecast. I shoot for planing first week of august, I’m about an hour south of Canada in New Hampshire. Hope this was helpful👍🏼

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Those were planted july 21

[@neilbyers7876]

Rich- I planted his brassicas a couple of years ago and overseeded like John mentioned. I also did not amend the soil... lots of tiny little seedlings that never matured. Last year I went much lighter and got fist sized- softball sized turnips and beets. The deer didn't eat them... but I have a plan for this year based on Johns advice. Less is more!

[@KyWildlifeAdventures]

Are you adding any fertilizer to the seed mix when applying it with the broadcast spreader or are you just adding the seed and spreading on 1 1/2 setting

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Only seed

[@thomaslaughery2962]

Good afternoon. I have your brassica blend and plan to plant it in the next few weeks. I also have your red clover that I was thinking about planting with the brassicas for a spring carryover plant that I can till under in late summer. Does this combination work? If so, what would you recommend for planting rates? TIA!

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

You can I like crimson for that Keep clover rate lower

[@craiglamb8056]

After you broadcast your brassica seed what do you recommend as far as rolling the seedbed, cultipack, do nothing?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

We pack it in. Lawn roller is what i used this year.

[@Robert-em3fv]

Hi John I was wondering if September 3 in NY about an hour from the city would be to late to plant the WHS I already purchased from you ?? My ATV happens to be in the shop won’t be getting back until around that time I was thinking we should do the rye because of the timing of year

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Sept 3 is fine Rye over seed around the 23-25

[@Rcol4427]

I’m in Sullivan county and planted them on august 13th. Usually August is not as hot with cooler nights in NY. I think September might be a little late but good luck and let me know how you make out. John thinks you will be ok and he would certainly know better then me!

[@Robert-em3fv]

@@Rcol4427 I honestly was thinking the same as you.. just hold on to the seed until next year and plant only the rye in September..i still don’t have the atv back yet I will let you know how it turns out only good thing it’s still so dry so maybe a later planting will work in my favor

[@craiglamb8056]

Do you always overseed with rye even if you have a good stand of brassica?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Only if there is a lot of early browse pressure

[@jaredcep]

What setting should I put the Earthway on for the “short season and southern states brassica blend “?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

I use 1 1/2 We have a video from a few months back showing how we plant brassica.

[@jaredcep]

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 thanks John.

[@perrytony1]

How far do you space yourself walking from last row you walked?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Probably 7-8 feet

[@stevebostic9812]

John..on preparing the seed bed, you said till in clover (an existing patch?) and fertilize properly based on soil test. Next you pack the soil a bit. I’ve never been shown how firm a seed bed should be. Sorry…a lot to explain?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

We Spread needed fertilizer on to the existing clover. One shallow tiller pass Pack Spread brassica Pack again

[@stevebostic9812]

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Perfect…thank you!

[@michaelburdosh6431]

Can this be done with a no till seeding?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

Yes The seeding of brassica is the same method. If your notilling into buckwheat or thatch

[@mbrennanphitau]

Can you show a picture of where the 1 1/2 setting is on the seeder? It is not 100% clear to me.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

It’s the line on the right between 1 and 2

[@mbrennanphitau]

Please check your email for confirmation picture.

[@3rdGeorgesheets]

if you haven't over seeded the salad bar you've never properly prepared or maintained said bar

[@franklee6518]

What is the spacing between your passes 10 feet or 12 feet? I've had some problems with areas being to thick ?

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

I think 10 feet
