Sixfive..you ever hear of post hole plots???

[bubbas1]

I read a post on another forum where the guy claims to have used this with good success. Its called "3 sisters" and is suppose to date back to the pre-America days and was used by the indians.

Here is how to do it..

Prepare by using a power post hole digger and dig 6" or so,

Use a self pollinating corn, green beans and squash, all planted in the same hole.
The beans are nitrogen fixing and fertilize the corn. The squash acts as a mulch to keep weeds down.

If this does work it would be perfect for me for a food plot for the deer.

Any thoughts??

dude, go plant some rape seed instead.

its like 10 bucks for a big ole bag of it and its like crack cocaine for the deer.

What the hell is rape seed????

Is it a throw and go seed or does the ground have to be tilled?

we till the ground and plant like 20' x 20' blocks of it near all the stands.

i'm not kidding when i say it is like crack for deer either.

haven't heard of the post hole plots, but rape seed is turnips. Check my pictures from last year on the mega plots I had of those. :mj07:

Rape seed is the Europeans version of canola.The Europeans have been making biodiesel out of it for the last 12+ years.

"seed" is not the same as "juice"

this is a rape seed plot.

The deer dont tear it up before it gets to growing good??

What type of soil do you have there? It is rocky soil where I want to put in some plots.

I think those rape/turnips would work great for u bubba. The deer don't really start hitting them until after the first couple of frosts when they start getting sweeter. Lots of times, that's after my hunting season. Shouldn't be a problem in your area where it's much colder.
