Planting Tips

[Goose350]

Hey guys, new here. I am about to start getting things ready on the land and wanted to know yalls opinions on throw and grow. I am going to plant a small plot in some hardwoods and this seems like a good way to do it. Is there anything better I need?
Thanks

Don't waste your time with Throw & Grow. It's nothing but rye grass. We planted some and nothing has touched it as far as we can tell, while our plots of Whitetail Institute No-Plow (almost as easy to plant) have seen a lot of action. There are other brands out there, too, that will perform better. Also for this time of year, look at Whitetail Institute's "Secret Spot." It is made just for small plots in the woods and is meant for late-summer/fall planting. This is what we've used and it works, but again, there are more choices out there and all of them are probably better than Throw & Grow.

thanks, I looked for the no plow at Bass Pro but they didnt have it.

Throw and grow I belive has rape mixed in with it but is mostly Tetraploid rye grass, makes a pretty plot though. You can buy both of these at your local feed store along with whatever else you want to throw in the mix, clover, wheat, oats etc just mix your own. dont forget to lime and fertilize!!

lots of lime, a lil' fertlizer, and 2lbs of clover with 10lbs of oats for every 1/4 acre if you have +/-4 hours of sunshine. If no sunshine, try a corn feeder IMO. Throw and grow is crap.

Plants that are grown in containers (especially those with tightly wound rootballs) should be loosened and the soil shaken off the roots prior to planting. I know this is hard to comprehend and probably contrary to everything that you have learned...especially when I watch everyone planting to the contrary. The plant roots need to be in contact with the soil in which they will be growing...not the mix that was used at the nursery. Nursery growing mixes are generally bark based, and are formulated to dry out quickly, to prevent over watering in a nursery container. Most nurseries irrigate 1-3 times daily, and if the soil isn't completely dry at each irrigation, the plant will drown. If you leave this root ball intact after the plant is planted, the roots still dry quickly, as the plant still thinks it's in a pot. When planted with the soil ball intact, the roots can begin to die in just a couple of days, while the surrounding native soil may still appear damp for weeks. Plants can be virtually dead within a week, and still have green leaves for several years...sort of a horticultural virtual reality.

let me tell you how to plant a tree.
1.Tree-planting is a long-drawn and continuous exercise.
2.Trees take a long time to grow.
3.Daily watering arrangements are a must ,before undertaking Massive Tree-planting.
4.You should be an amateur and not an expert so that you can be successful.
5.You should enjoy tree-planting , and make Children associate themselves as , for them every little experience is education and Training
6.You should not be afraid of soiling your hands, fingers and feet
7.The availability of seeds under the Mother trees is a seasonal affair.So you should pick as many as possible in one season.
8.Since there is no will or mind in the minds of Urbanites, as also there is no space, we should try to use Road-sides and Villages.
9.We should co-ordinate with the Civic Authorities for using open places and Parks.
10.As many people should start raising trees in milk-sachets and other PVC packing material like Atta-Bags, Woven sacks etc.,
