Instructions for NO-PLOW Wildlife Seed Blend Success

*MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS*

1.         Seeds must make contact with the soil.

 2.        Do not plant in high weeds or grasses or where no sunlight can penetrate.  No-Plow needs a minimum of 3-4 hours of broken,
            filtered, or direct sunlight a day.  Old   logging roads, fire lanes, small clearings in the woods, fence lines, power lines, and gas lines are ideal choices. 

3.        Cut grass and/or weeds as low as possible, or spray existing vegetation with an herbicide (i.e., Roundup) to rid the area of weeds and grasses. Follow the herbicide label directions and wait the required number of days before seeding. Clear debris to expose soil.

 4.        If possible, rough up the area with a rake or other tool.

 5.        Use 75-100 lbs of fertilizer per 10,000 square feet (100ft x 100ft) or 300-400 lbs of fertilizer per acre.  13-13-13 fertilizer or equivalent is good.

 6.        Spread seeds at approximately 4-6 pounds per 10,000 square feet or 16-25 pounds per acre.

*FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS*

1.         Soil test for a white clover.

2.         Add lime and fertilizer following soil test results, or use general recommendations provided on the No-Plow bag.

3.        Disk or till the ground and level with a drag or roller.

4.        Spread No-Plow at 4-5 pounds per 10,000 square feet or 16-20 pounds per acre.

5.        New growth should begin within seven days after significant rainfall.
