2013 Food Plot (Part II)

3 weeks had gone by and I finally got a chance to go check on Turkey Top.  My friend Andy that helped me establish the plot checked on it at the 2 week mark and reported a lot of grass, but couldn't see much clover germinating.  He then proceeded to walk down the hill from the plot and shoot a nice 2nd season Tom off a field closer to the river!!

When I went to the plot on April 28th (3 weeks exactly after seeding) I found a tremendous amount of clover had germinated!

Moisture for the plot has been outstanding over the last 3 weeks, but temps have been less than ideal.  Once we start getting some consistent sunny and warm days, this clover should really take off.

Some good green growth, but unfortunately most of it is grasses.

My next step will be to get some herbicide that kills only the grasses and see how that works.  Cabela's and Bass Pro sell a chemical called "Arrest" and the reviews are great for use with clover plots.  I've got some gift cards from my birthday for both stores and I might have to look into investing in some Arrest.
