I'm in the process of opening up some alfalfa field edges that had been taken over by brush honeysuckle. From the edge of the fields I'm working with about 20' - 40' in width and my length is unlimited to as much as I want to clear. At the Expo I bought some Daikon Radish as well as purple top turnips to plant. I started the honeysuckle bush removal a month ago and am still opening up pockets to act as mini food plots. My plan was in mid July hit any weed growth with Roundup, let that growth die off and then till up the soil lightly with the rototiller before putting the seed in the ground.
Would you guys keep the plots separate or mix the radish and turnip seed together before broadcasting it and lightly raking it in?
Part of me wants to keep them separate to see which food source the deer are more attracted to, but I'm open to just mixing them if they do well together.
Thoughts?
