We\'re standing in my Soil Builder plot here, out here with Brad Jones of Scrapeline Hunter. And this mix has Berseem clover, crimson clover, buckwheat, oats, triticale. And, the purpose of this mix is for areas that are first-time food plots, or areas where you normally wouldn\'t plant your food plots until early August or September. I hate leaving ground bare. I also want to build up organic matter every year. I also want to fixate nitrogen which the Berseem clover and the crimson clover will do. Buckwheat will help smother some weeds, and as you can see here, we got some really good clover, some really good growth here. But as you look behind me, you can see that you\'ve got some bare spots. You got some branches hanging down which, it doesn\'t look like a lot, but for those of you that have areas inside of woods or shady areas and you\'re like, \"hey what can I plant that tolerates shade?\" This mix should tolerate shade pretty well, but still it doesn\'t take a lot of branches and trees to block sunlight and so, you see real thick behind really thick here, some gaps there right by those trees. That just demonstrates how shade can affect growth. So, what you can do with this mix is, you could either bush hog it, clip it down broadcast the seed. You could actually go across and broadcast the seed then come back with the bush hog or lawnmower, clipper and you\'d get that dead material on top of the seed, kind of create a mulch. Another option is you could kill it off with Round Up, and then come back here and lightly work the ground and plant your fall brassicas. And then again, a last option could be is – instead of killing with Round Up, just come out and lightly till this stuff into the ground, and then plant your seed, drag and roll for your fall blends so, Soil Builder is a good mix to set your plots up for the future. Whether it be this fall, or even for years down the line.'
