Can Broadside be planted by broadcasting the seed?
Filed under: Food Plots
Question
I am thinking about planting a broadside food plot next fall and was wondering if you can just plant it with a hand spreader or if you have to drill it? Thanks.
Ben,
I have good success broadcasting Broadside! For good success the seed needs to make seed to soil contact. There will be a low survival rate if the seeds land on vegetation, etc., rather than directly on soil. It’s also best to broadcast the seed just before or during a rain! This will help by splashing dirt and covering the seed and insuring there’s adequate soil moisture.
Enjoy creation,
