Part 5/7:
Now comes the key component that sets this guide apart: seeding at high density. The presenter utilizes a total of four 50-pound bags of soybeans, approximately 560,000 seeds per acre. This unconventional approach is not just about quantity, but about ensuring a sufficient number of plants survive the initial grazing pressure from deer.
By employing this higher seed density, the chance of establishing resilient plants that can outgrow deer grazing increases significantly. The presenter emphasizes the importance of evenly distributing the seeds across the plot, suggesting a double pass technique to minimize any thin spots that could attract overgrazing.
