6 P's:

Before planting you MUST follow the Rack Stacker 6 P's to plotting: Proper Preparation, and Patience, Prevents, Poor, Plotting.

If you follow these instructions (also on the back of the bag) and don't cut any corners, it will grow for you and produce great results throughout the summer into fall and for late season hunting so you can harvest that buck of a lifetime and get the fawns into the winter in good health.

Planting Time
- Best time to plant Field Edge is in the late parts of the summer as long as there is good moisture in the soils. You can plant into the fall if you have sufficient rain in the area. If you want large plant growth in a very short amount of time we plant in late July or early August for lush green growth for the early hunt, but your best to try and get in early July if you live in the northern regions of Saskatchewan, Alberta or other provinces like Quebec or Northern New Brunswick. Southern areas like Quebec, South Ontario or Nova Scotia you can plant this up until September long weekend
Preparation
- You really want to make the best sed to soil contact as possible when planting Field Edge. Spraying the plot with a herbacide is best, you don't want weeds competing for moisture and nutrients on the field with Field Edge. After spraying, using a set of disks, plows or cultivators work the ground. As long as you have something that can scar the ground enough to allow the seed to have good seed to soil contact when you will be successful with Rack Stacker Field Edge. Before seeding down your plot you want to drag the soils as level as possible. The smoother the soils the better to prevent channeling during the rain and keep the birds from eating your seeds. You don't want to plow the seeds under. You only want to make the seed hit the ground, and then pack it to the ground with a roller or a culti-packer
Time Needed
- If I spray 2 weeks prior to working the land, I can have it in the ground,(disking, dragging, seeding and packing) in 4 hours. Not a lot of time for a ½ acre plot when you thing about the 40,000lbs of forage it can produce in 70 days. that’s a lot of food available for your herd throughout the year
Seeding Rate / Coverage
- We sell Field Edge in 1lb, 2.5lb, 10lb bag, 20lb, & 50lb bags. Using a hand broadcast spreader 2.5lbs will plant 1/3 acre. 10lbs per acre is recommended
Calculating Square Footage
- Measure the location of your plot. Length multiplied by Width divided by 43,560 that will give you the size of your plot (Ex. 121ft X 121ft=14,641sq ft= 1/3 of an acre) you will be able to plant 14,641 sq ft if you plant 2.5lb Field Edge. Be sure to plant the right amount of seed for the area that you are working with. Field Edge Gets Huge fast so you need to make sure you give it enough room to grow over a 60-70 day period
Fertilizer
- It's recommended that you fertilize 3-4 weeks after planting the plot. 300lbs of fertilizer to the acre to get maximum growth of 18-18-18 (or equivalent %) sometimes that we like to do is split that up to two different applications. 150lbs of 18-18-18 2-3 weeks after seeding and 150lbs approx 6-8 weeks after seeding this will quickly improve nutrient absorption in your plot and rapidly grow throughout the summer months. Driving on the plants to fertilize is okay, they will bounce back pretty quickly
Maintenance
- Nothing needs to be done after laying the seed on your plot besides fertilizer (see above). This is an annual planting and doesn't need any maintenance except for fertilizer that is listed on the bag when you purchase it. You can plant Field Edge 3 years in a row but you will want to have a rotation in the crop after 2-3 years to give the soils a break, Superb-uck is a great alternative
Benefits
- You can provide 40,000 pounds of food in the duration 2 months to increase the health of the herd in as little as 4 hours with our Field Edge Food Plot. It doesn't take long, it's easy to do and if you haven't food plotted before its very enjoyable after seeing the use that your herd gets out of the little time put in
