We call it the first “transitional” food plot blend because it lays the “groundwork” for a more robust fall food plot. Here’s how: plant Groundwork in the spring as a cover crop that adds nitrogen to your soil, aerates your soil, puts enzymes into the soil to kill weeds and also reduces erosion. Then, rotate in late summer to Wicked Greenz, Checkmate or Tombstone. Alternatively, you can also plant Groundwork in late summer\/early fall as a stand-alone throw-and-grow blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring Triticale - drought tolerant, highly digestible, high protein; soil builder: captures nitrogen, reduces erosion, puts weed-suppressing enzymes into soil (allelopathy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForage Oats - Deer\/turkeys love it; soft, palatable, easy to digest; graze resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadishes - Highly digestible leaves and bulbs; natural fertilizer, breaks up soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicory - High in calcium; highly shade and drought tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLadino Clover - Long-lasting, high-protein perennial that deer love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrimson Clover - Protein-rich, browse-resistant biannual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalansa Fixation Clover - The most cold tolerant clover (down to -14°); biannual, deep tap roots help drain soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLOCATION: Full sun, partial sun (4-6 hours)\u003cbr\u003eSOIL PREFERENCE: Well drained, moderately drained, pH range: 6.0-7.0\u003cbr\u003eDROUGHT TOLERANT: Moderate\u003cbr\u003eGENERAL FERTILIZER RECOMMENDATION: 300 lbs\/acre 9-23-30\u003cbr\u003ePLANTING DEPTH: 1\/8\"-1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003ePLANTING DATES: North: April-June* or late July-early September\u003cbr\u003eCentral: March-May* or August-mid September\u003cbr\u003eSouth: March-May* or September-October\u003cbr\u003e*Note - For spring planting we recommended using as a cover crop; recommend rotating late\u003cbr\u003esummer into Wicked Greenz, Checkmate or Tombstone.\u003cbr\u003ePlants 1\/4 acre\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RAKK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51958853632320,"sku":"7518","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/0177\/0048\/files\/Groundwork_nobkg__52503.webp?v=1777911884","url":"https:\/\/www.littlewolfriveroutfitters.com\/products\/rak7518-groundwork","provider":"Little Wolf River Outfitters LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
